Facebook Marketplace prompts buyers to ask that automatically. They write the text out for you and everything. I don’t see why it’s worth getting annoyed by it. How hard is it to type, “Yes.”

And who did her unrepentantly pursuing whatever lifestyle harm exactly? There’s a fundamental difference to me between attacking someone who has done some harm to others and attacking someone who’s just annoying or uninteresting.

Two things can be true. Paris Hilton can be a shallow, vapid person whose fame was a net negative for the culture and the South Park takedown of her can be unnecessarily cruel and hurtful. They’re not mutually exclusive. And I say that as someone who’s seen every episode of South Park.

My implication was not that the guy was unarmed, but that they could have pulled his gun for him after the fact. It’s not unlikely at all that he was pulling his gun and the shooting was justified given who we’re talking about, but I hope we’ve all learned not to trust the official narrative in police shootings by…

I don’t think that the majority of police drive around with an extra dirty gun. I don’t doubt that the guy was armed. I was implying that they could have removed his gun from the holster and placed on the ground like he’d pulled it out when he was actually reaching for something else.

That they found his gun on the passenger floor is consistent with that.

I haven’t seen the movie but it sounds like she thinks her female character wasn’t given much personality/opinion/personhood overall outside of how she relates to male characters, and this was one piece of it.

Yeah. That’s the only real interpretation that I can see.

I’m confused by what she means when she mentions the dialog referencing Vonnegut. Is it supposed to be bad because Vonnegut isn’t a feminist author or because the female character should have been reading his books herself?

So the Mass Effect model basically.

Oh for sure. Guy embarrassing himself with a “cleaning up messes for overworked retail workers is bad actually” take. Ridiculous. 

It’s not pro-slaver either. It shows them taking a different path and choosing not to be slavers. If someone made a movie where Hitler went to art school and never got into politics, you wouldn’t say it was pro-Hitler or pro-Nazi.

Pretty sure I speak for most.

Yes, actually. Helping clean up a mess that someone else made is a nice thing to do, YouTube manbaby aside. I’ll often refront the next item in line when I pick something up at a grocery store. I have picked up and rehung shirts that I found lying on the floor. The idea that retail customers could only possibly do…

You don’t speak for all retail workers. As I said already, I also worked retail. For a number of years in fact. And someone cleaning up scattered shelves would have been welcome. I’ve seen several other people who have worked retail in the past or still do say the same thing, so kindly fuck off with your know-it-all…

Again, the idea is not for them to “fuck around with the shelves.” It’s for them to pick up any candy bars they happen to see lying about and put them back in the box/on the right shelf when they come across them. The chances are high that it will help retail workers more than it hurts them.

The film is very much against slavery. It’s a revisionist history because it takes a tribe that historically took part in the slave trade and depicts them rejecting it, but that doesn’t make a pro-slavery. If you want to criticize the film for what it actually does, go for it. But don’t just straight up lie about it.

What do you think customers do when they shop? Fuck around with the shelves. I can’t imagine these people are doing any worse damage than customers are doing on a regular basis anyway.

Presumably, the people following Mr. Beast’s suggestion will have time remaining in their day to ride bikes and make forts. He’s not asking them to work a full-time job, just to tidy up when they see something out of place. I get the complaints that he’s asking for people to do a job that’s normally paid for free, but…

It’s not rearranging to put something back where it belongs. He’s not asking them to move it somewhere else, just to put it back in the spot it’s supposed to be in. Conceivably, someone could move things around more than that I suppose, but that’s not what’s being asked of them.
