I've had that. Once a guy in a pub was about ready to fight me because he reckoned I was staring at him - though he may have just been claiming he thought I was staring so he could goad me to anger at his accusation and justify him fighting me. Another time a guy thought I was staring at him, I was inside a shop at night time, zoned out and looking in the direction of the plate glass window - that was providing me with nothing but a reflection of the well-lit interior of the shop - and he was *outside* where I couldn't see him.

this is so weird tho like, they've decided for themselves, without asking, that the old person must be miserable and tragic, which is already presumptuous enough, and is just pretending that all old people are living the same sad little life. but then, they also film these people without their consent... it's like, misery porn or something. it's genuinely disgusting. even if they're really just 'empaths' and can somehow miraculously tell what emotions any random old person is having, and are feeling those emotions too, why the fuck would it be necessary to them take a video of it? it's performative, useless, and disgusting.

I am still so confused by that parking lot woman.

I just spent that whole segment asking myself "Okay, I get you're unhinged, but what did he do?" (or more likely, what did she think he did?).

The "yellow poles" are called bollards. They're meant to stop cars from getting into places where pedestrians are and getting too close to buildings.

Idk why but the crying mom reminded me of the story where a woman had 2 kids with her ex husband and now that she was remarrying, her fiancé wanted to DNA test the kids to make sure they were his. As in, he wants to test her children with her ex husband that were 3 and 5 when he got together with her. Why? Because he thought the adoption process would change their DNA so he would be their biological father. Despite her, his mother, his father, and several books explaining why this wasn’t possible, he threw a fit and insisted that if the kids didn’t stop being selfish and change their DNA, then the marriage is off and he gave them a week to change their minds and also provide a DNA test confirming it. His mom called her on the low and gently insisted she not even wait the week to leave her pinecone of a son because he keeps insisting adoption changes DNA. ETA: he misinterpreted everyone telling him that adopting children makes them yours and then just died on that hill.

Having working in hospitality (pub, bar & cafés) for years, I've sadly met a handful of elderly customers who were on their own because they didn't have anyone else to accompany them. But the vast majority simply went out on their own for a bit of 'me' time or because they didn't fancy going around the mall, etc. so sat down with a newspaper or book whilst their other half was busy elsewhere. Its important to be aware of loneliness and check in on neighbours, relatives, etc. but it's also important to be aware that alone doesn't necessarily mean lonely.

[@mommy2libras]

Right? I'm the oldest of 5 kids, had my first child at 21 and have never had my own room for more than a year, I think. I adore my husband now but I'm also happy to have time alone. I'm used to being home alone all day while he's at work and my youngest child (a teenager) is at school. I almost went batshit during lockdown because they wouldn't gtfo and I couldn't do my normal routine, had to clean around them, etc. I love them like everything but I also love the time I have alone. I had a bunch of crappy relationships when I was younger and in my early 30s decided to be good company to myself. One thing I really prefer to do alone is shop for clothes. I'm kind of picky about clothes and how they fit and feel and when others are with me, I feel like I'm tak8ng up too much time or making them wait on me. So I'll go shopping and sometimes eat al9ne. It's excellent me time and I can eat wherever and whenever I want.

[@JessicaO490Z]

I remember in college a couple of the girls would make comments like that about young people or anybody that's alone. But just because somebody's alone doesn't mean they're lonely. They would say stuff like oh isn't it so pathetic and sad that they're going to the movie alone etc. Me as an introvert I appreciate doing things on my own, It gives me a break from all the hubbub of the family and lets me refresh. Plus I enjoy eating out in peace.

To answer the bad driver's question: those yellow concrete posts are there to prevent a car from damaging the bank's equipment or building. If you try to say, drive into the ATM close enough that it or the structure encasing it would be damaged, you'd bounce off of the post instead. Further, they're usually positioned so that you can't angle your vehicle to directly impact them without having the car be totaled. This way you can not smash and grab all the money in the ATM and make a getaway. The ones for the pneumatic tubes are only there to prevent damage, as theft isn't a concern there.

For a while in my neighborhood a man had a yard machine that sounded exactly like the tornado siren. It went off every evening in the summer. So, when the tornado siren went off no one believed it was real and did nothing. How is this legal?

[@yuzuchi5381]

Its not .. should have called the police and collect evidence then if smth happens that person is partially liable

[@dashfire3185]

Not trying to attack you here but I'm having trouble believing this, wouldn't multiple people have reported it ahead of time with the same concern? not to mention all the public disturbance reports.

[@John_Weiss]

15:56 No. If you're doing sets, _you sit there during your break._ You don't wander off. And if someone else wants to use the same bench, _you let them work in!_ They do their set while you take your break, then they do the same while you do your next set. There _is_ such a thing as gym etiquette. But it's clear most people don't have any manners at all.

30:18 The context here: She is threatening court officials with violence after the court decided to continue to hear the case that had she pled Not Guilty too, the charges in said case are threatening violence to public officials This is almost a dictionary worthy definition of the phrase 'shooting yourself in the foot'

I heard about the group that posted the video with the baby bears. They were identified and the wildlife commission was called to the scene where they found the last bear cub still on the wrong side of the fence. The group responsible was told off. Regarding the white woman picking a fight with the black guy in the McDonalds parking - that woman is trying to get him killed. If he'd risen to the bait and the cops had been called, 50/50 they'd have shot him instead of de-escalating. And that's giving it the most generous odds I can.

My empath senses gives me the tingles- oh no, a spider! Wait, wrong sense. Seriously, people who self proclaim as an empath (in the sense of knowing what you're feeling) is so... Selfish? In a way? I don't know how to put it in words.

[@thedigitalautist]

It's self-centered, because everyone is capable of empathy, but they think they are the only ones who can...feel things for other people, I guess? Being empathic/"an empath" doesn't make you unique. It's part of being human. Yes, some may feel empathy on a deeper level than others--but I can almost guarantee that those people are not the ones going around posting TikToks of themselves crying about old people who happen to be sitting by themselves. 🙄

[@kodomoshawn6729]

It's because "I can feel everyone's emotions!" = "everyone's emotions are about ME!" Example: "your dog just died but have you considered that your crying is making ME upset?!?!?"

[@junrobin9335]

People often use the word empath synonymous with the hyper sensitive personality trait. The people who can be defined as empaths aren't really empaths like they can't feel exactly what you feel. But if you express emotion they can entirely experience your intensity as their own. On occassion it might even hit them harder because for them your situation is worse than you view it. It's more of an emotional disorder in my opinion but I ain't gonna yell at the dsm 5 people to add it. A majority of the people with hyper sensitivity though would get a lot of value from therapy related to handling emotions. It's not actually fun to be hyper sensitive. It's not an I feel what others feel because you have your own experiences and world view. And you react to others their emotions based on that view.

[@junrobin9335]

[@masterjunko]

Over heard my sister claiming to be an empath once. She's gone really far down the astrology rabbit hole (something about twin flames with her ex and feeling Everytime he's angry etc and sharing dreams or something) and she's often said "I know how you're feeling" to me before proceeding to say something that I'm not really feeling. I dunno how to politely tell her the stuff is bs 😔 Edit: It is ofc possible to feel emotions like they're your own, like how normal empathy works. However, nobody is Alex from Life is Strange: True Colours level of empath, but she doesn't understand that and she's a grown ass adult.

Pretending you represent a company interest and then do damage using that misrepresentation is Fraud. You can get jailed for upto 4 years per instance. Doing that while doing damage to other peoples work rights is a terrible idea. I hope they make him regret it.

As someone who has the poles outside of where I work , THEY ARE TO STOP CARS FROM DRIVING INTO THE BUILDING , we had them installed after someone nearly drived through the windows of the store when they were drunk driving , thankfully it was after close so no one was hurt but the boss saw the footage on the cameras

[@kelsea6591]

My local rite aid didn’t have those poles originally and some older lady drove right into the building on the side of where the cash registers are and injured an employee pinning them with her car, now they have them installed all around the building

[@lilpsyche6971]

"Trauma dumping" has always been used in the online groups to discredit someone's fears, anxiety, or emotions towards something. At least in my personal accounts of lurking in Discord voice chats. Like the classic abuse line "You're crazy" rebranded, it's an attack if someone get's too real. Too emotional. No one wants to open up and feel because everyone is stressed as all heck with their own problems. Talking about it might help, but people don't know where to start and toxic people keep shutting others down by calling it "trauma dumping"

[@Bugg...0_o]

Story time. That guy trying to scam people by laying in the road? One time, a few counties over there was a guy who had been doing that, and when people would stop to check on him, he would jump up and rob them. Flash forward a few months and a guy tried that in our county, and somebody f■cking ran his aṣs over. And after that, no one in the counties affected had any reports of a guy laying in the road to rob people.

[@letroser]

‏‪24:44‬‏ If I am not mistaken, you're right about it not being legal, this actually counts as terrorism. An act meant to inflict public fear.

because if she ran over someone, she plans to leave the scene

It's a panic response, probably.

So... that lady walking around the supermarket while crouched... were they pretending to be Edna Mode, from The Incredibles? The hair, the glasses, the outfit...

Yes yes. And i believe it’s is a man who dresses up as Edna. I’ve seen him before doing the same thing in other videos. It’s incredible the strength you’d have to have to do that though.

[@YukiteruAmano92]

The way Click didn't address it at all makes me think he may have missed the *(clearly* _intentional)_ racist overtones of parkinglot Karen referring to the filmer as 'boy' and 'son' the way she did. The extra emphasis she put on those words made me pretty sure she was trying to goad him for a rise with them.

[@solosynapse]

He probably missed it; those don't have racial connotations in Sweden.

[@endlessdreamlands1861]

Honestly understandable that he did. Even I had no idea about those terms until fairly recently, so I can assume that went over our beloved Swed boyo’s head. Bless this man’s heart. Glad to see that people are talking about it down here tho because this stuff is pretty important to know

[@a.r.mproductions5616]

Idk I’ve been talked down to by people like that. It’s a way to make you lesser than them because you’re not an equal, “you’re a little child who should obey me”.

Definitely

[@RenaissanceRockerBoy]

I think that's because the specific racist connotations of that are firmly entrenched in specifically US history of chattel slavery and plantations. I have friends from other countries who also wouldn't pick up stuff like that, even when being aware of racism or not white themselves /gen.

[@nannywhumpers5702]

I'm older, but have a disability and sometimes I can be a bit naive. It is what it is and I know i have a tendency towards this. That firing prank I probably would have bought it. When the dude told me it was a prank, he would have been punched. My entire family relies on me working (even though I don't work at wallyworld). That's not a prank, that's flat out evil. You never really know the level of understanding a person has by looking at them. LEAVE the old people eating alone alone! They don't want to deal with anyones bs and that's why they are by themselves, they already paid their dues of being pleasantly social.
