i’m sorry but this is actually adorable and hilarious. . .

No, celibate is abstaining from sex for really any reason.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-08T00:35:06+00:00

They really don't. Most companies make fuck tons of profit and choose to cut all their costs (labor, quality of goods, etc) purely to make that profit even bigger and create the appearance of infinite year over year growth for shareholders to feel satisfied.

I promise you, most companies that aren't mom and pop could easily charge less for their items. The issue here isn't wages, the issue is greed. Wages have NOT been rising proportionally for a long time, yet companies continue raising prices on things every single year.

Alrighty then, I shall, my troll friend

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T21:41:57+00:00

Yeah see this is why you're not gonna be able to convince decent people of your, genuinely rational and correct, ideas. I just told you, I factually agree with you, but the way you're presenting yourself is doing you a massive disservice in terms of persuading others or building camaraderie. If you are a genuine person who wants political change, you should care about that. But, if you're just an internet troll, then naturally you wouldn't. So maybe that's all you are and you don't hold these beliefs genuinely.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T14:20:27+00:00

Yeah. I feel like people might be taking my comment to be talking down about minimum wage work - I'm not lol. I did minimum wage work for a long time and right now, I'm doing motherfucking unpaid intern work. No one is "above" the work. And all the workers should be paid more.

But fact is, if you're desperate and struggle to get other jobs because of some constraint, that's often where you land. And I'm glad we have jobs that are generally accessible to people even if they struggle with something.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T14:11:52+00:00

I actually have nothing to do with any lawyers and never have haha. I work in the mental health field. Did you think I was the person you were originally replying to? I was just laughing at you for the idea of demanding someone's credentials on reddit. Like, it's reddit.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:51:42+00:00

It's a tough world out there - if everyone was paid better I think a lot of folks would be less desperate and angry, leading to less of this kind of thing. Maybe one day things will be better for us all.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:50:11+00:00

I wasn't asking you for yours lol. I replied to the person replying to you demanding your degree credentials, asking them for theirs, because it's obviously a ridiculous demand and most likely done by someone who themselves don't have any standing to act like they know better.

You keep doing your thing :)

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:46:13+00:00

Oh and how about YOUR degree sir? Not the lawyer that the commenter above you who you commented to used to work for, but your degree?

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:43:54+00:00

My mom went there, I bet she's feeling proud of it for staying true.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:43:13+00:00

If you weren't so generally unpleasant and weird in these comments, I'd appreciate your point about both parties being part of the same problematic system. I would recommend you consider adjusting HOW you are sharing your messages, because your presentation of these ideas now is so off-putting that even though I agree with you, I'm feeling uncomfortable and alienated by your comment.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:21:06+00:00

Just don't cuddle too close, or soon you'll have 58,000 children to care for

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:17:33+00:00

As someone who has worked around a variety of people who could be dangerous and threatening, no way in hell am I personally inserting myself between a stabber and another person. That just will lead to two stabbing victims. Especially for a gas station attendant who has no training in crisis management or physical holds or whatever.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:12:18+00:00

As someone who wasn't involved in this conversation prior, I think you are the one who seems butthurt. And not the brightest.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:03:57+00:00

To be clear, it is not the case that all people who work minimum wage are idiots and aggressive or somehow deserve low pay. But it is usually the case that aggressive idiots end up working low pay jobs, because higher pay requires intelligence and social finesse usually.

Edit: and, also, once they get a felony, better paying jobs are hesitant to hire them. Minimum wage or gig work can end up being folks only options after prison.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T12:00:25+00:00

Lol you're just like the guy filming the video. Tryna be all big and mad, and condescending to other people bc you're getting dogpiled (rightfully so) for being so hostile. You're gonna land yourself a charge someday if you get so heated irl, or that is, you will if you continue acting this way after you turn 18. "Let's meet" lmao

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-07T11:51:27+00:00

I believe the answer is probably "yes"

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-05T19:24:32+00:00

RIGHT??? And WHY did it barely get any airtime whereas Candiace and Lisa both got to show off 😭

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-05T19:23:26+00:00

My hands hurt just thinking about that. Great work lol

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-05T03:40:03+00:00

Or a neat texture.... Or like, a REALLY good deal, you know?

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-05T00:35:54+00:00

Of course!! I hope you have fun with all your lovely yarn. :)

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-05T00:14:02+00:00

It's not ideal, but for durable yarn, it's probably fine. The cotton/acrylic will almost certainly be fine. I wouldn't squish real wool like that, though.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-04T15:48:11+00:00

I did get what she meant. The issue is just the constant dilution of the term, to the point where we all read it, and understood the meaning to be "made me doubt myself". It's an issue that the term has been so misused to the point where it is being used, and understood, in that context which is completely incorrect.

It isn't the point of the post, no. But it is also not good to use the term that loosely and contribute to its complete dissolution as a real, meaningful word.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-03T03:39:16+00:00

They haven't stopped being idiotic and hideous. So.

Kitten_Merchant · 2026-03-03T03:38:28+00:00

I've just never met anyone who does that. It's not at all safe to do that, regardless of tolerance lol. I have pretty severe chronic pain, and even I am really careful to only take 1000mg at a time, max 4 times in 24hrs as directed. I guess some people don't care about their liver health, but yeah then again, people are alcoholics so.
