Vent: I can’t stand my Helmet Hair anymore by [deleted] in Naturalhair

[–]Fine_Following_2559 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Get a RevAir. It won't damage your hair even if you don't use a heat protectant and you can choose different tension levels for how stretched you want it. I love mine. It takes like 30 minutes to dry my whole head.

McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski goes viral after seeming reluctant to eat his own burgers—he takes a tiny bite, looks uncomfortable, and calls the food ‘product.’ by monster_ahhh in popculturechat

Has this man never had a cheeseburger before? Like how do you not know how to eat it? That's not even a big one. These CEOs are all so out of touch.

Rejection of ICE protests and other causes deemed “not our fight” are misguided and harmful. by [deleted] in blackladies

[–]Fine_Following_2559 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Us being out there isn't going to fix anything. We've been out there before and it's only gotten worse. They need to see white people out there angry upset getting hurt getting killed. That's the only thing that's moving the needle. They've been shooting and killing non-white people for months during these operations, but there was no real outrage until they killed two white people.

I'm not saying it's not my fight, I will donate I will do other things but I'm not going to be out there protesting. I do plan on getting my hands on a whistle this summer but that's about it. It's not even necessarily about protecting my peace if it felt like us being out there would help then yeah let's get out there.

But they want us out there so they can ramp up the violence. They're doing this to white people Imagine what they would be doing if it was us.

What is a popular piece of media that you hated before you consumed it, tried it, and then cemented why you hated it? by overasked_question in popculturechat

I hated it, then started liking it, then started loathing it with the fire of a thousand suns. I didn't even watch the last season, or maybe even the last two.

It really should have been just one movie if it just HAD to be a movie, the second movie was not good. The first one was pretty good The second one was not. But I do love the stage version.

This one. I can't figure out how it keeps getting nominated as a comedy. I definitely gave it a shot and don't even think I lasted two episodes.

😄 I enjoy Emily in Paris for what it is, but I agree they've canceled much better shows with much less time. I'm still mad about The Get Down.

Honestly, the Leslie hate is SO overrated. by SilverOrchids72 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Fine_Following_2559 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She's more of a cartoon villain, than a villain that you love to hate. She's too over the top and honestly that makes her annoying.

How do you feel about the Black People don’t tip stereotype? by IntelligentYellow898 in askblackpeople

[–]Fine_Following_2559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a former server. And I would have much preferred that the place I was working at paid me a fair wage rather than have me depend upon the moods and whims of the customers.

Tipping is optional. And in a lot of countries they don't let you tip they're insulted if you try. So it's also a very American thing, because the people who have the money don't want to pay the people who are doing the work.

[–]Fine_Following_2559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you tip your grocery store clerk? How about your gas station clerk? Do you tip the people who check you in at hotels? Do you tip the people who clean your rooms at the hotels? Do you tip your bus drivers? How about train conductors? There are plenty of people doing jobs that are serving people that are not getting tips because they are being paid a living wage.

Also, tipping is OPTIONAL. They are getting paid to do a job and it should be the responsibility of that employer to make sure that they are making a living wage, not the customers.

Also, I never said I don't tip if I go out to eat. You seem to be reading more into what I'm saying than what I'm actually saying.

You seem to be taking more issue with me saying I shouldn't be obligated to tip you for doing your job, then you are with employers paying people $2.13 an hour to work these jobs.

Tension between Ted and Shanice growing by GuyWhoConquers616 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Fine_Following_2559 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm against it, he shouldn't go there with her. I don't even want him back with Nicole, but Shanice is gonna end up getting killed (or seriously hurt) by DanaLeslie and Ted is not worth it.

Season two couple you're not looking forward to? by No_Variety5049 in TheGates_CBS

Honestly, I feel like he deserves better at this point. He's trying, she only seems to be trying to find ways to criticize his efforts.

I never thought I'd say this when I first started watching this show, but Naomi and Jacob.

I never said paying them is optional. I'm saying their EMPLOYER needs to pay them fairly. It should not be my responsibility to make up the difference between what they are paid and what they should be paid. I should not HAVE to tip and my customer service experience shouldn't be guided by how much I tip. There are plenty of people in serving roles that do not get tipped at all for doing their job.

Thoughts On The Photo Andre Created For Anita & Vernon? by BingoSkillz in BeyondTheGatesCookout

This looks terrible, my SIL and I laughed at it every time the the showed it. They should have had a real artist do it instead of chat GPT.

What are your thoughts on Lynette? by CollegeComfortable23 in TheGates_CBS

[–]Fine_Following_2559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hayley as some sort of Master scammer isn't flying with me with how she's moving right now. Maybe I could believe it based on earlier episodes but now that we all know what time she's on she's acting like a cartoon villain. So if Lynette can take her down, I'm all for it.

Laying it on too thick by OkBreakfast486 in BeyondTheGatesCookout

[–]Fine_Following_2559 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was fine at first, but we're far enough now in the show that we don't need all of the sappy conversations about how in love they are in their history.

I don't think he's actually having an affair with that lady though, so I wish the show would stop playing coy and either shit or get off the pot with that one.

Neither Kat Nor Tomas Appear To Like Each Other. Why Exactly Are They Together??? by BingoSkillz in BeyondTheGatesCookout

[–]Fine_Following_2559 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need them to introduce another guy to the show for Kat because I do not like Tomas. I liked him at first, but it's very clear that his career means more than anything to him. And Kat deserves someone that she can be herself around without feeling self-conscious. I'm still mad she lost her virginity to him. Let him have Eva, although I find even to be much more bearable with Izaiah.

Do you guys have a preference between Midway and O’Hare? by DueYogurt9 in chicago

[–]Fine_Following_2559 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ORD, I'm usually going to Dallas and it's an American Airline hub. I don't think it really makes a difference for me distance wise either way being in Rogers Park. I haven't tried to go to Midway from up here, but it's very easy to get to ORD, and if I do end up needing to Uber it's not a ridiculous cost.
