LaVonte accidentally spilling that he cares about Purpee (HE WANTS TO MAKE IT A NEW ROME) mid-rant about how much it sucks is just. There is no one like lou wilson.

I don't even know whose job it was to teach people this, but did they just stop teaching people what a bicycle bell means?

One would think that hearing a very distinct, clearly audible, reasonably loud and rapidly approaching sound of any kind would make any reasonable mammal turn to look at the direction of the sound, just purely by instinct?? If a deer heard something nearby go DING DING DING DING DING DING at its general direction, it would at least look up to see whether the source of the sound is a threat or not? Just a quick "is that something I need to be concerned about?" type of glance.

The enshittification of pedestrians has reached the point where they have less traffic survival skills than deer.

[homunculus-argument]

How exactly does one slow down and weave around pedestrians who are blocking the entire way in a formation in which it would be impossible to pass them even on foot without elbowing one or two?

[nerdyinfluencertastemaker]

This is literally why we need bike lanes

[homunculus-argument]

The pedestrians ignoring the bike bell are on the bike lanes.

i just woke up and for a few seconds i thought those were some kind of vegetables being dropped into the sink to rinse off until they kept moving on their own and they still 100% look like weird leafy vegetables

[saigeofseasons]

I've been awake for 17 hours and I deadass thought they were vegetables

there is something to the classic lesson taught in ballet (and other) that if you screw something up just keep dancing.

"the audience doesn't know what was supposed to happen, the worst thing you can do is flinch and in doing so admit something wasn't planned"

anyway that's why i'm so smooth all the time.

[gender-trash]

as my favorite jazz teacher says: "if you hit a wrong note... hit it again"

[niuniente]

Same in theater and acting! The audience doesn't know your lines or what you were supposed to do. Just keep going and pretend you didn't mess anything up. No one will notice.

“The LEGO Movie was my favorite movie of 2014, but it strikes me that the main character was male, because I feel like in our current culture, he HAD to be. The whole point of Emmett is that he’s the most boring average person in the world. It’s impossible to imagine a female character playing that role, because according to our pop culture, if she’s female she’s already SOMEthing, because she’s not male. The baseline is male. The average person is male. You can see this all over but it’s weirdly prevalent in children’s entertainment. Why are almost all of the muppets dudes, except for Miss Piggy, who’s a parody of femininity? Why do all of the Despicable Me minions, genderless blobs, have boy names? I love the story (which I read on Wikipedia) that when the director of The Brave Little Toaster cast a woman to play the toaster, one of the guys on the crew was so mad he stormed out of the room. Because he thought the toaster was a man. A TOASTER. The character is a toaster. I try to think about that when writing new characters— is there anything inherently gendered about what this character is doing? Or is it a toaster?”

hey as long as discourse on whether joining the military is bad or not (it is) is doing the rounds again, i’d like to remind everyone that people who were in the military but are not any longer are not ontologically incapable of being leftists or good people. many of the military’s harshest critics are vets. they’ve seen what the military can do. they’ve personally been chewed up and spat. so have their friends. they know first hand the horrors the military has inflicted on the world.

obviously many vets never stop drinking the kool-aid. but many others do. and we shouldn’t reject them as comrades. chelsea manning was in the army before becoming a whistleblower. edward snowden was in the nsa. etc. yes call out people for joining, keep pointing out it’s wrong to kill people for money. even if you’re poor. even if you’re ignorant. but don’t condemn someone solely for their past if they’ve done the hard work of learning and growing. i think it’s pretty easy to walk and chew gum on this one. but it’s easy for some of us to forget that we have to.

very controversial opinion here, but sometimes customer service workers are the problem 😶

[balkanrose]

no, you shouldn't be expected to be polite to customers because they're customers. you should be expected to be polite to customers because they are people

[balkanrose]

like, a person with a stutter trying to order or an old lady asking you for help with a chair is not rude customer behavior. you are not excused for being nasty to them because you work in customer service

[sanktpolypenbourg]

The "just don't be an asshole" rule strikes again

you get little cultural (sometimes social justice-) memes about which categories of people you get to be systematically annoyed at- or mean to, or whatever little outlet for rightous rudeness and casual cruelty, but at the end of the day maybe just don't lose sight of "don't be an asshole"

[dabwax-deactivated20250410]

I overheard a coworker at the college who works essentially customer service for students mocking people with a mean voice who want their names changed or fixed on their records. For what? Why? Why be an asshole over someone's NAME? Why is it bad to want your name correct on student records?

And the funniest part of that is I'm a student worker and my name is fucked in the system. So they were mocking me directly without knowing? 😭

[dailymanners]

I say this as someone who worked food service and retail for many, many years and is fully aware of how awful and soul destroying working customer service can be, but:

I think people also often forget that power dynamics don't always fully favor the customer, and sometimes power dynamics can be tilted in the favor of the customer service worker and subsequently abused. Able bodied customer service workers can be, and often are, ableist to disabled customers. White customer service workers can be, and often are, racist towards customers of color. Customer service workers who are men can be, and often are, sexist towards customers who are women. Customer service workers who are non-immigrants can be, and often are, xenophobic towards immigrant customers. Shall I go on? That's obviously not an exhaustive list and I could very well go on.

When I worked retail I had a co-worker scream at a little old lady and kick her out of the store because she spoke to him in a language he didn't speak. I saw her face as she was leaving and she looked so shaken up like she was about to cry. I've overheard so many of my co-workers calling customers racial slurs behind their back. Once again, I could go on, but I feel like my addition here is already getting long enough.

Yes, you should be able to stand up to customers who are being unreasonable jerks, you should be able to refuse service to customers who are being unreasonable jerks. But the ones who aren't doing anything harmful you should still be nice to, not because it's your job, but because they're a human being.

[dailymanners]

Here's the other thing worth mentioning, the more you are unnecessarily rude, aggressive, or even just snippy to customers who really aren't doing anything wrong, the more you are making your job unnecessarily worse, not only for yourself, but for your co-workers too.

If a customer experiences an employee being rude or mean for no reason, then they're going to anticipate this kind of treatment next time they have to do business at your place of employment. This means they're more likely to be up in arms and defensive and generally more difficult and unpleasant. The more your place of employment gets a reputation for mean and unhelpful employees, the more people are going to come in defensive and anticipating a fight.

Been playing a lot of "psychological horror" games lately, and man

nonschizophrenics will simply never understand that "what if it was all in the person's head?" will never be scarier than a monster that actually fucking exists.
