The law in my state defines ageism as discriminating against people over forty.

Fun fact! I complained at a job once because I was up for promotion and instead they hired a 22 year old with no experience vs my 11 years experience in the field and my boss accused me, a 35 year old, of ageism against this 22 year old person.

Funner fact! It wasn’t actually ageism on my part but sexism on their part, because I happen to be a 35 year old woman and they chose to hire a 22 year old boy to be my boss. Then they asked me to train him. Then they fired me.

It was very fun to read, but I never would have looked it up. Thank you!

This has nothing to do with the original concept/internet meme of “girl dinner”, this is just salad and fries. Girl dinner is like… six olives and an entire sleeve of crackers with peanut butter directly out of the jar. Girl dinner is three slices of cheddar cheese, and an entire bag of baby carrots with hummus. If you have the emotional capacity to cook fries and mix a salad, that is not girl dinner, thats just dinner. This is capitalism using buzzwords without understanding what they’re saying and I’m irrationally annoyed by this one in particular because I fucking love Girl Dinner.

That is all. Hope your next meal is delicious and fulfilling xoxo

You might need a new therapist, which is okay. I haven’t been to therapy in over a decade, but when I used to go, I used to do things like this, and my therapist would interrupt and say “it sounds like you’re deflecting, do you think there’s a reason for that?” and try to get me to go in a different direction.

Just some unsolicited advice, have a good day xo

Connecticut is the best tho

That’s what I was thinking, these sentences could just be combined. “I played with my friend’s toy in their colon.”

This thread so far has been about extra judicial killing, but can vigilantism encompass less drastic actions? Do you think it is fair to say that the reaction on Reddit/Lemmy every time “the rapist Brock Allen Turner” is mentioned falls under the third type of vigilantism, in the sense that he recieved a light consequence compared to the acts he was proved to have committed? Is the social backlash and the (imo deserved) chorus of “oh the rapist?” in response to his name a form of societal vigilantism?

I appreciate your thoughtful and nuanced post in this volatile thread. Your last sentence immediately made me think of that guy that raped a girl behind a dumpster and then got let off because a judge thought consequences might damage his future. I don’t think anyone should kill him, but I’m happy he doesn’t get any peace on the internet, and i wish he was in jail.
