[@luvhair255]

Everyone gets harassed but after interacting with thousands of people in an interactive acting position, there is sometimes this line that a lot of people are just willing to cross more willingly with women. Talked to someone that worked in a rehab center that confirmed this and I remember going through school and seeing the respect a male teacher got compared to a woman teacher. People will act up more, like a power play, because a lot of the time women are expected to be polite and submissive. I've had to learn to be a huge ice queen at times and not let people walk all over me.

That would be like protesting against meat production in a flower shop.

[@samanthaburns6956]

Understandable but also Les Mis is about revolution and humanist morality being at odds with the state/law. The play is literally about people coming together and fighting corrupt systems which actively harm them. Like this song is about disturbing the peace to achieve a greater goal, it is theamatically appropriate that it is disturbed. This sort of activism is also not about getting people on your side as much as disturbing policy makers so they are forced to concede to your demands. British suffragettes did similarly unpopular protests by breaking into parliment and vandalizing shops. Also there is evidence that revolutionary media that provides catharisis makes people feel like they have accoplished something causing them to behave more complacently. So disturbing the song might actually deprive viewers of that false catharisis and drive them to do something positive. Also this might just be the ADHD talking, shows with malfunctions are way more fun to watch.

Nothing annoys me more than KZbin's or influencers that seem to think it's okay to record someone without permission amd harass them as a "prank" especially women. It's even worse when the person being recorded asks to not have it posted online. Sadly, nowadays, it's one of my main fears to be recorded and posted online without permission, Especially if it goes viral for whatever reason. Then everyone knows who you are. Pranks are supposed to be funny for everyone involved, It shouldn't be harassing someone or bullying them, and then you posted online, especially when they ask you not to. I miss prank videos when everyone involved was OK with it and they're actually funny not a crime or harassing innocent people.

42:41 Oml, I work janitorial and knowing that this has become a trend made me shudder. Don't do this to staff, it's incredibly frustrating to explain to someone "doing a public service" that they need to stop before they harm themselves or others. You hit it on the head, companies use approved cleaning supplies to prevent allergic reactions from unknown chemicals, even I'm not allowed to bring in my own cleaning products to work with because the company could get sued if someone has a poor reaction to it. I'd say she could get a real job as a janitor, but unfortunately it's not as colorful and glamorous as she paints it 🙄

[@qckreplacementvideos7561]

It gets even worse. Using the wrong products can potentially be DEADLY if mixed with usual products. There's a series of "satisfying" aesthetic videos on TikTok where they create mustard gas. And they just never stopped. So much so that the guy who called them out the first time had to call them out again ... as a woman. "I'm trans now, do you know how much time that is?!"

[@billtenth5805]

Quick question. I know this probably isn't as big of a problem as the health and safety risks, but what about any issues relating to labour-exploitation or breaches of contract with janitors/cleaning companies? To clarify, in the case of contract breaches: if the restroom owner has signed a contract with a company or individual to clean said restroom, and one of these "public service" incidents occurs, would that in any way affect the contract and/or the working relationship of the restroom owner and the cleaner(s)? Also, on the subject of labour-exploitation: would a "public service" incident be something an outside body could hold the restroom owner financially responsible for? To cap this off, is there anything that can be done to reprimand these "public-servants" in the event that their actions - in the absence of existing health & safety problems - only caused financial, legal, and/or business problems to fall upon the restroom owner and any associated partners or employees?

[@mommy2libras]

While that sounds good and all, you have zero way of knowing if people might have an allergic reaction to the products you DO use. It has nothing to do with "protecting the public", it has to do with what chemical company gives you the best deal. Don't pretend like they aren't all made of harsh chemicals that someone could possibly have a reaction to because that's crap. I've worked in many hotels, from top rated resort style hotels to interstate pits where people live and sell dope in the parking lot and every one uses whatever chemicals are sold to them by whoever they have a contract with. Hell, at the nice hotel, I went through sneakers fast because the cleaner we sprayed on the bathroom floors ate through the soles after a couple of months.

For some military families it can be a hit and miss.

It can be pretty isolating since you're pretty much stuck in this small space and they're not there for any reason other than because their spouse's job brought them there. What's worse is finding out that the locals don't want you there either.

The leash Karen is a menace and could probably do with a good suplexing, but at the same time, I *hate* people who walk their dogs off-leash in public places. "Oh my dog's so good, he'd never run off or bother anyone!" First of all, I don't trust anyone who says their dog would "never" do a given behavior, because both dogs and humans are individuals who have their limit. Even if that limit is very hard to reach, it's there, and I don't trust any dog owner who is willfully blind to that. Second, even if your dog is the perfect angel you have in your head, he's still only one variable in an incredibly complex equation, and you have no clue what the other variables are. I have a dog who is excellent with all people, including kids of all ages (though we always take the opportunity to educate any impulsive petters about asking first because not all dogs react as well), but who is very reactive to and scared of other dogs due to having been attacked several times in her past. She's doing great thanks to excellent training and work with a behaviorist, and when we're out walking, I always have her under control and I keep my distance from any other dogs (at least a block on average). I've had off-leash dogs come sprinting at us four separate times, and in only one of those cases did the owner run after their dog. In the other cases, they just called out "Don't worry, s/he's friendly! S/he's just saying hi!" Buddy, I don't care how friendly they are, my pup is traumatized and unable to remove herself from the situation, and all she sees is an unknown dog charging at her and her human, and if she defends us from the threat, neither of us are going to be happy with the outcome. She doesn't deserve that, I don't deserve that, and your dog doesn't deserve that. Also, you don't know what *humans* around you are scared of dogs and don't want to be approached and sniffed by even the friendliest of puppers, and you don't know what humans or animals or cars or other variables might behave irrationally or unpredictably around you at any time in an area with so many such variables.
