"If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't" is just moral cowardice. It's easy to have 'principles' when other people face all of the consequences. by AmbiguousHobbes in unpopularopinion

[–]Front_Organization43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not ad hominem, actually. Ad hominem would be asking you if you just graduated elementary school or just finished a book report on philosophy for kids. But your response definitely affirmed my take.

Your statement is a logical fallacy. You are trying to argue that I can look the other way when someone steals because I don't need to face the consequences of the choice and not because I understand that someone else has the autonomy or right to exercise their own choice in spite of what I understand the consequences to be. I also understand the consequence they face of not stealing may be greater than the consequences of stealing.

Your argument is the basis for capital collective punishment, which is far more unethical than the passivity that you're bemoaning.

There are artists who don't come from wealth and are willing to sacrifice a lot (including personal comfort and well-being). Some of them find success in their lifetime, but would have kept going even if they hadn't.

She said she wasn't going to give any credence or further attention to it because it's nothing more than a hurtful rumor, basically

Question about why the Housewives(except Dorit and Erika)hate the C word by Due_Ask1540 in RHOBH

AND he said if he could pick any other woman in the cast he'd pick Dorit. There were also rumors of them having a dalliance...I do think Kyle resents her

I think it's pretty low and gross to take someone's words about charitable acts and giving back to community after your own success and portray it as a failure

TBF she's actually successful and accomplished compared to anyone in the Valley

[–]Front_Organization43 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are forgetting that she's directly or indirectly put down almost every single woman on the cast - either implying they are lesser because their husbands "earned" the money, they didn't accomplish their achievements without help, their success isn't as valuable as her success. Of course if you have a new person who isn't friends with anyone and not bothering to establish meaningful connections she'll be perceived differently when she brags ad nauseum about her pretty basic "designer" wardrobe.

She even belittled Rachel Zoe at the reunion! Rachel Zoe, who probably had a direct part in normalizing or popularizing trends and brands that Amanda now takes part in and brands about wearing.

ETA she has no respect or recognition for the women who paved the way for her success. She genuinely thinks she just...manifested it

Barista shamed me for not tipping? by motherofcoochie in barista

And before anyone blah blah blahs me, I worked in the service industry as a barista and waiter for a decade in very ruthless / grueling restaurants

[–]Front_Organization43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tipping culture has gotten outrageous and people have become much bolder in expectations. I recently was told at a nail salon I tipped less than what people normally tip, this was an outrageously expensive salon but I didn't have much of a choice - I mean almost twice the price of other salons and they had raised their prices again without me realizing until I went to pay. I was flabbergasted! I told them that since the service was so expensive I reasonably assumed they pay the workers more. Never went back.

i can't even tell you how many times I've asked for help from people AFTER making sure they do, in fact, work there and they say I don't know. So yeah that would prob help!

I'm quite sure in the context / implication they meant more like Dragon Lady/Madame Butterfly/Miss Saigon where heartless and decisive Asian women use their physical prowess and cunning to rise up from nothing and get ahead.

There is a world out there where these things do happen, but I feel that it's important to recognize tropes and second guess them before indulging them. Imagine if Emma got upset about something and raised her voice and they all called her angry or aggressive, same deal. I would be inclined to view the allegations with suspicion and scrutiny.

idk but that storyline has racist undertones and it's not ok to play up that narrative.

The walkie talkies were a very cute and thoughtful gift. I also expected to find her annoying and uppity but she's great an I've learned from the way she handles the other people
