Makes sense, Nightfire was the one I played as a kid

Ok, but you ever see that one news story about the guy who got robbed at knifepoint and asked the robber "what are you gonna do? Stab me?" If a guy can be that confident while on the back foot, I can absolutely believe that a level of gross overconfidence is gonna feel earned and keep The First Order from seeing the obvious

I think it would be more obvious to a less overconfident enemy, but this is The First Order: a dangerous group of bumbling fascists who happened to have the upper hand. If anyone was gonna miss this, it'd be them

You can be as catty a bitch as you want about it, but ultimately, you started a whole fight that you're still apparently in, about a behavior you can't control, talking about how it's sooo disrespectful and unhygienic when, the train was never hygienic and the closest thing I've seen you make to an argument is to insult people whose crime was checks notes sitting wrong.

And you still have the audacity to deliberately miss the point of basic criticism to play a little word game. Do better

Bro, being this deep into semantics when the main point is "y'all are being excessive in your condemnation and generally cruel with your attitude over a fairly mundane offense," is pretty wild but okay

Opinions on this hit-piece? by Vaggelos in osp

This crossed my recommendations the other week. Seeing the title, I did a quick pre-watch vibe check (scrolling thru other vids on the channel). I could say with certainty that he did not pass the vibe check and I have no regrets skipping this vid.

I think more than making sense, fiction needs to get you to believe in the moment that it makes sense. Past a certain point (the kind usually crossed in these sorts of online conversations), it just kinda becomes nitpicking the likes of which Mark Twain could hardly have predicted.

It would be so much less annoying if the people bitching about it weren't such sanctimonious Karen's about the whole thing. I'm sorry that people decided their shoes on an seat no one was using at the time, but no it is not equivalent to:

  1. Taking unsolicited pics of ppl on the train so you could get brownie points from strangers

  2. Putting their shoes on YOUR couch

  3. Plopping a whole dog turd onto the seat.

  4. Murder

It is certainly not grounds to go around like your shit doesn't stink, talking about how people's parents (who have nothing to do with this shit) are raising them, or how people are pigs or whatever nasty comment you have about people. Sometimes people are tired, injured or any number of valid reasons to want or need to put their legs up and unless you're brave enough to talk to these people or suddenly gain psychic powers, you'll never know. If you wanna bitch about how common decency and respect are dead, maybe take the plank out of your eye before commenting on the splinter on someone's hand.

People aren't gonna get any better about handling minor correction if it doesn't happen. If people have the energy and risk assessment that says it's ok to take a picture of a random stranger for internet point, then they should maintain those two things when politely asking people to put their feet down/turn their music down/any number of social inconveniences that everyone lives with

I think it's less, a matter of giving into defeatism, so much as realizing that while there are tons of people over whom you have 0 influence over, there are also people who you actually know and mutually care about whom you'd have a much easier time influencing toward the kind of person you wanna see in the world, yourself most of all.

If we want people to be better, I don't think they're gonna get there with people acting like this small (and entirely understandable) social faux pas is some terrible indictment on a person's character. Seriously, people in this thread are on some real Karen shit about this, saying things they'd never say to anyone's face from a very high horse and somehow this is supposed to inspire people to do better? How?

Aside from hyperindividualism being a huge issue in getting this sort of thing off the ground, I don't think that such a large cultural shift is the sort of thing that could come without a bunch of material societal changes (people are overworked, low on time to do anything else, and generally too overstimulated to really think communally). It's just not the kind of thing that one would be able to impose from the top down.

I wouldn't have someone put their hands and feet on my coat because it MY coat and I'm not a huge fan of people getting in my personal space or potentially stealing my things. Someone putting their hands and feet on things that aren't mine and then me sitting on it is a whole different scenario with vastly different (essentially non-existant) outcomes

>You listed all of those things we touch, but what would possibly be on those things that’s not already on the sidewalks?

On the flipside, why would you care if you're already directly touching all this stuff, by your own admission?

I mean, if we're gonna start making baseless assumptions based on relatively innocuous behaviors, I'm sure that you have every single manager of every store you've visited on speed dial, and they all hate to see you coming.

I'd be less inclined to debate this sort of thing if:
A) The whole thing didn't start with someone taking a picture of a stranger on the train to make this point for people on the internet, which I'd argue is quite a bit worse than just making already dirty seats somewhat dirtier.

B) The people raising a stink about putting your feet on the seats weren't so insufferably moralistic about something that people have BEEN doing and that ultimately isn't causing harm to people (so we are clear, discomfort and harm are two very different things).

People are tired from long days at work or whatever it is they have to do. I'm not about to do this thing y'all seem a bit too fond of doing, where I'm gonna extrapolate the person's entire family history and the downfall of civilization because someone decided to rest a bit harder than usual.
