I’m convinced those words are priming buzzwords to tell you how to feel. Just today, I caught the same words: “chilling moment gunman stops to put on his glasses” with ominous music over the footage. The man was killing people. Him putting glasses on wasn’t chilling. It was a mundane moment in an otherwise gruesome event.

I guess it’s time for you to disrespect someone. I have the most adorable little thing imaginable, and I love her to pieces, but I cannot stand that she needs to be heard for hours at a time for as long as she isn’t receiving attention. When I’m trying to get work done, when I’m trying to sleep, when I’m feeling ill, when I’m not in the same room as her, when all I need for a moment is some peace and quiet to keep from unraveling, having this tiny unrelenting screaming demon in my ear does not bring me joy. I don’t need her to be quiet at all times, but I simply cannot function as a sane human if I have someone screaming at me when I’m exhausted or stressed out. It was cute for a month, but it gets old fast.

Greed is a tragically reliable behavior to anticipate from a Corp.

What’s stopping McDonald’s from just saying that they need to increase prices by significantly more than that to accommodate the increased wages? Y’know, with lies? It happened with groceries, so I can imagine them seeing this as a good excuse to try to squeeze some more profit out.

I’m in the US, and I saw the setting. Unsurprisingly.

I see. There’s the disconnect. You offered both an anecdote and an objective statement. You called the comic inaccurate, as well as stating what happens as though it’s a universal experience. And then you offered an anecdote. The response was geared towards your first couple remarks, not the anecdote. They were snarky about it, but the sentiment is true. You were speaking for everyone, not just yourself. Your retort doesn’t make much sense because they weren’t doing the same thing.

Genuinely curious. What do you mean by this?

Yes, but explicitly applied to corporate entities. If a corp can’t handle its waste, it’s a threat to mankind and should not operate. Solve the issue or kill the corp.
