I’ve got serious tech skills I could be using for evil.
Every day I wake up destitute, I think,
Why not. Why shouldn’t I create a fully automated ecommerce site dropshipping AI trash to Etsy & elsewhere? Hell, why not start a cult? I can at least source cheap FlavorAid.
In what the fuck kind of fucked up shitty social media do you have to censor "drug"? Is this a goddamn Mormon meme or some shit?
Selection bias. As if drug dealers never go to prison, or die early...
I'd say the same applies to only fans models. Well, not the prison or early grave part. Most successful models are a tiny fraction of people who traded sex on tape for the equivalent of minimum wages.
putting Drug Dealers in comparison with OF girls is kinda bad
They are both selling a distortion of the mind
I'm sure they still need to hustle to make that bank.
Remember kids finance isn't owning
Drag's not illegal yet, selling it is still a legitimate career path.
Drug dealers and OF girls aren't the ones making your life miserable Greg.
I hope the point is that the people who set the social norms (which make you think OF girls and Drug Dealers are bad people) are the real enemy.
turning on the big Consent Manufacturing Machine
"You can GET RICH QUICK! with this ONE NEAT TRICK! if you're willing to coughdo a huge bit of gray market work in a high risk industry for a very long timecough and then YOU'LL BE SET FOR cougha very shortcough LIFE!"
Friendly reminder that Drug Dealers Mostly Live With Their Moms and the average camgirls don't do much better. This is a high risk, low reward industry operating in an informal economy with no labor protections that needs an enormous marketing budget in order to keep people engaged with it.
Who cares if they are Drug dealer or on Only Fans. Do they put the cart back at the store?
I gotta be honest, my bf or I still make sure the cart goes back every time we shop, but I increasingly question whether I should bother. These grocery stores keep raising their prices well above inflation so they can pocket the rest and brag to shareholders about it, at the cost of people who actually shop there.
It's tempting to say that if they're going to play that game, they get no courtesy from me as a customer and can hire more cart collectors. It's miniscule on an individual level, but it is unpaid labor.
There's the argument that unreturned carts mostly inconvenience other customers, but honestly if the store is exploiting both customers' goodwill and wallets, I think it's fine to make the experience at that store just that little bit worse; maybe that last little push will encourage people to shop elsewhere (where it's an option of course, i.e. not a small town).
I don't feel this urge at stores like H Mart even though they have so many fewer return stalls and it's often a longer walk to do so.
I guess this is kind of an antithesis to Shopping Cart Theory I've been developing in my head over the past little while. It's conditional on the store itself being overtly greedy, but I think there might be something to it.
I see your point but two out the last three cars I've had both got a huge dent in their right front fender because someone didn't put the cart up and it rolled down a slight grade into them.
You should check with the laws in your state (or your insurance agency, if you have a low enough deductible.).
Just because the grocery store puts up a sign that they are not responsible for damages doesn't mean they aren't. They have a first amendment right to lie, and a game-theory reason to do so.
No witness, no camera, and no liability.
Nah this is just trying to rationalize being a dick to your fellow human being who's trying to park. The employee making min wage isn't caring that the carts are further, it just means they can waste more time per trip.
If you actually wanted to do something against the corporation, you shop somewhere else.
Just like the shopping cart theory itself, this is mostly just a thought experiment at this point in time.
The point of a protestation is to make it hard for others to ignore, and make it clear what the end condition is. I don't plan on just starting to do this as an individual because it would have no impact; I still make sure my own carts get returned personally.
The point stands that our goodwill is frequently exploited for profit, often under the pretense that it's just basic human decency.
Drug deals and OF girls can be good people, but someone who judges people based on the nature of their labor can't.
What if they work for a PMC? I'd probably judge that. Or worse, what if they're a CEO?
what if they’re a CEO?
the nature of their labor
WTYP. The most famous CEOs don't work. They just exploit the work of others.
Why do you expect to be reward for being a good person? That’s just the baseline everyone should meet.
You will never get financially ahead of everyone else by being a good worker bee. Sorry your parents and teachers lied to you. Doing well in school and getting a degree is not a pathway to riches. The vast majority of people who went from rags to riches went off the beaten path and took a massive risk.
Also sex work doesn’t make someone a bad person.
Sex work puts someone one step closer to human trafficking.
I don't judge them for the sex work. I judge how they are at risk that costs more than just their own happiness.
Totally agree, although I would say "... the vast majority of people who went from rags to riches were self-obsessed assholes at at least one part of their life".
Exactly. You get what you give. You give the bare minimum to society, and society will give it right back. You want more, give more. Go help your community. Take out your elderly neighbor's recycling. Volunteer at your local shelters/soup kitchens. Attend some local events. Sit in on city council meetings. When I moved out of my small town a couple years ago, I learned that real life is a lot like online forums. You have to lurk before you can post. Learn the language, the local etiquette and taboos. Watch the people in your neighborhood, their interactions. Blend into the background, and observe. Talk little, hear and see much.

None of this shit makes you money.
Beautifully put.
