Comment on Time to make your decesion

Because judging people on prejudice is what we like doing. It’s innate, but also a bit harmful towards those that don’t fit the mold.
Also a lot of love for Wallace. That may also be why we favor older people in elections. I don’t think that’s a good thing.
I know it’s a shit post, but I felt like doing a Debby downer in here. Disregard if it spoils your fun.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly, even before reading the comments. Yeah, it’s a shitpost, but “Oh, Wallace is considered bottom of the barrel because… he’s like 100?” Straight up ageism.

In my personal experience, “the really old colleague” is often a real throw of the dice between stubborn-as-fuck-never-matured-know-it-all and very-interesting-seen-it-all-genuinelly-mature-colleague - so basically opposite ends of the scale.
If you’re early career, having one of the latter kind of older colleagues is probably one of the best things it can happen to you, especially if you’re a bright kid.
