discrimination

Read a random definition: laundry list

A quick definition of discrimination:

Discrimination: Treating people differently when they are in the same situation, especially when there is no good reason for it. For example, if a boss only hires women and not men, even if the men are just as qualified, that is discrimination based on gender. Discrimination is bad and can be against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Discrimination is when someone is treated differently from others who are in a similar situation, especially when there is no good reason for it. For example, if an employer refuses to hire any male applicants and instead hires the first female applicant who has the same qualifications, this is discrimination based on gender.

Discrimination can be against many different groups of people, such as those of a certain race, religion, age, or sexual orientation. It is illegal to discriminate against someone in the workplace, housing, education, or any other area of life.

Another example of discrimination is when a store owner refuses to serve someone because of their race. This is not only morally wrong, but it is also against the law.

Discrimination is a serious issue that can have a negative impact on people's lives. It is important to treat everyone with respect and fairness, regardless of their differences.

this old guy just came up to me at the gym and told me about his back surgery

[] baddestbunny
16:20
I’ve def said this before
16:21
applying to jobs yayyy
16:30
Let me tell you about how I had five fractures in my back bunny. Got those fractures missing the mat high jumping.
[] baddestbunny
16:40
My three guesses for why you were high jumping onto a mat are a) track and field b) army training c) gymnastics
[] baddestbunny
16:40
are any of these correct?
[] baddestbunny
16:41
Also much more impressive than this guy’s back injury which came from being a 18-wheeler driver for many years
16:46
Oh yeah, track and field. Man that sucks for that guy.
Trying to decide if I should waste the money applying to like, duke/va/nw/tx/ucla even though I doubt I would attend
16:53
Why would you not attend?
I'm already gainfully employed in NYC and wouldn't want to relocate for a lower ranked program w/ worse chances of a big law outcome
16:56
Ehh well I wouldn't apply then unless they had some sort of niche program you really liked.
yeah, just worried if i set my sights too high i'll be disappointed across the board like i was last year
16:57
It's kinda like buying an insurance policy incase you don't get into any NY schools but I don't see why you would not.
yeah, same, but i see people with all these UVA A's and I'm like, I could've lobbed that up in september too
17:01
Ahh well, idk, all I can say is good luck!
[] baddestbunny
17:05
if you can’t get into Columbia with a 175 and 10 years of work experience I don’t know who can
