Goddamn fucking kids.

Yeah, it's TOTALLY fucking mockworthy that people are in their 30s. FUCKING LOLARIOUS.

Note to all and sundry: this is PRECISELY why I quit.

ETA: It's been pointed out that said person has welcomed mockery. My opinion is still the same. I hate the idea that because you've reached an arbitrary number of years lived, which really isn't all that goddamn many tbh, that's worthy of scorn, derision, or mockery.

It's ageist bullshit, and society needs to stop propagating it with bullshit black cakes and balloons and "over the hill" nonsense.

None of those comments towards me were actual scorn, derision, or mockery. They were very clearly intended with jest, not malice. 'Mock' mockery, if you will. Honestly, if none of my friends were cracking jokes about me turning 30 I'd probably be concerned (e.g. Do they really think I'm that old? Do they feel like I can't take a joke? What's wrong with me?). This has nothing to do with ageism and everything to do with friends ripping on each other over stupid, meaningless things for fun.

Maybe it's just a style of humor to which you're not accustomed but it is second nature to many of us and it's a part of how we relate to each other. I appreciate any concerns you may have had for my feelings, but I don't appreciate it when myself and my friends are actually derided for innocuously joking around with each other.

Everybody ages and eventually dies; it's a part of life. I can approach this milestone with either bitterness or laughter in my heart. I instinctively choose the latter.

I have never found mockery to be funny. It is a style of humor I'm quite familiar with, and I find it rather hurtful. TO ME PERSONALLY. I don't care what other people find funny for themselves; I don't like people making fun OF ME PERSONALLY even "in jest."
