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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
putting Drug Dealers in comparison with OF girls is kinda bad
They are both selling a distortion of the mind
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.
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.
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.
Why do you think OF girls are bad people?
Jealousy.

exploiting people for money, making weird/borderline illegal ads/promos, spaming/botting popular social media services with self promos or just being toxic to other people - why do you think drug dealers are bad people tho? in most cases they are just addicts tryna sell drugs so they can buy more drugs to feed their addiction, most of them are not bad people, they just need help
My dude our existence as we know it is wholly dependent on this capitalist system, which is built on exploitation, from top to bottom. Save your judgement for the bourgeoisie enforcing it, not the people just trying to survive in it.
so it’s ok to do bad things if the capitalist system is telling you to? the only bad people are the ones at the top that enforce the system? and not the people who keep the system alive by obeying? doing something bad and then blaming the capitalist system for it is just playing the victim and it’s a ridiculous argument
You’re entitled to your judgemental opinions, but singling out OF creators reeks of big incel energy.
wdym i am “singling out” - the original comment asked why onlyfans creators are considered as bad people by the OP and i explained why they have a bad reputation online, you are going out of your way to blame the capitalist system for these creator’s actions, and now you are just insulting me just because i provided a list of reasons why onlyfans creators get a bad rep online and why they are considered to be bad people
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.
drog dealerIn 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?
It’s funny because they compared themself to a picture of one of the worst people imagined to argue they’re a good person
I find people paying for OF way weirder than people doing OF
I don’t have anything against OF or sex work, but I’ve always though that negative judgements against clients suggest a negative judgement against the service provider. If the act of providing the service is OK then surely the act of receiving the service is also morally sound? Unless the service provider has a morally ambivalent attitude to their own work? I say this as someone who had a long term partner doing sex work. Contempt for clients seems unfair and possibly hypocritical. Just people trying to satisfy a biological and emotional need.
Honestly I don’t get the OF hate in general. We all have watched porn and we probably liked at least some of what we have seen. What is wrong about earning a living with producing what other people want and like? And as I don’t think, we argue about people consuming porn but about paying for it, what the fuck is wrong with paying the content creator? Why do we prefer paying agencies with ad revenue while the agency effectively scams their talent? Why no ads but cash? Why agency and not talent?
What’s weird about buying OF content? Not everyone subscribes for the parasocial interactions.

“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.
You can sell pictures of your gaping asshole and still be a good person.
It’s just a matter of perspective.
Beats selling spaghetti code, which is what I do.
Just save your meatballs for OF I guess.
People are into that right?
You should be mad at billionaires and landlords, not other working people.
Were grouping landlords with billionaires? Nah, billionaires have their own special VIP area in hell
They’re both part of the owning class. The only difference is degrees
Landlords are like ticket scalpers. Buy up a scarce resource, provide no real value, and overcharge.
The real people you should be hating on are the ones that mindlessly inflate prices. Not just anyone buying property
Landlords inflate prices of property.
Not all of em
Explain how they make money buying property?
Honestly, I don’t know. I’m probably wrong
Demand go up. Price go up.

All of them be trying to charge us to be alive. If my landlord could come up with a good enough reason to charge me to breathe, he’d put it on the invoice.
Drag’s not illegal yet, selling it is still a legitimate career path.
