As the NCAA tourney starts, I’m reminded of the pernicious effect of the 19-year-old requirement for the NBA draft.

No such age restrictions on pro soccer in the U.S., as far as I can tell. :ablobthinkingeyes:

I can’t think of many cases where this sort of restriction of an adult’s rights was so easily accepted as fine and dandy.

The average NBA player gets 4 seasons. The average salary NBA salary is ~$9M (!!). You’ve just cheated an adult out of $9 million.

Gen Z are apparently worse at file organization than boomers - don't get too angry now

'Nordlocker ... claims to have found that “the generation that grew up alongside Google is used to a digital environment that is searchable, whereas the older generation is used to a more traditional way of handling files.”'

Not what it looks like. This is actually a rant about non-news. And age discrimination.

@timcheadle Of course you’re right: it’s about age. It’s always about age.

@cmorris @Benfell To your point the #UnitedStates has to date ignored the rights of #OlderPersons and the initial #covid #MortalityRate struck hard at the #eldery especially those in #carehomes #hospitals. US has failed to engage with and join #InternationalTreaties that #protect and #defend against #ageism in the #workplace #AgeDiscrimination #Harassment #EEOC #ADEA are generally so ineffective that some turn to #litigation which is too costly for most or simply leave #employment under #duress.

Human rights & COVID-19 pandemic. Valuable analysis, retrospective & prospective.

But I would have liked to see specific consideration also of impacts of #ageism & #agediscrimination on #olderpeople during pandemic.

I try not to share too much #work stuff, but I'm #proud of this :)

Through the company I work for, we're supporting #NationalOlderWorkers Week. We're getting stories from our corporate staff and workers in #NHS trusts throughout England.

Older folk are huge fonts of knowledge. And it makes me so sad - in 2022 - to see that #AgeDiscrimination is still a thing. #AgeDiversity is massively important!

@Effortless@noagendasocial.com The biggest reason we still have severe #internet #censorship is weird ass puritans still believing #porn and kids are something magically different from anything on this planet and a nuclear blast occurs if the two combine. The practice of #ageism / #agediscrimination is the one common ground of both far-left and far-right extremists: Even if a parent is lenient society still bans and censors your child by force to "protect" their minds from anything that may cause disobedience.

@DeveloperMemes That's not a typo: It's a website that accidentally got transmitted from a parallel timeline where #ageism / #agediscrimination was properly abolished 😆

@PhenomX6 Man: So many tears from people screeching they can't keep children enslaved and their lives under strict control. Nice to see people who believe so strongly in #ageism / #agediscrimination being the ones to suffer hardest.

If these primates feel everything is a threat to their kids, why give them internet at all? Why even use electricity: Just go back to living with torches and gas lamps somewhere in the desert, it's safe from the spooky naughty thoughts there!
