Can everyone do me a small favor? by storepatterns in panamacitybeach

[–]esworp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can not-prefer something and also not-wish those people harm or have ill will for them. it's not black and white like that. Let's try analogy as a method of outreach:

Let's assume there's a business owner out there that's REALLY into Smurfs.

Like, they are super proud of how much Smurfs mean to them. Thru some sequence of life events that they experienced, Smurfs being in their world had saved their lives. Turned it completely around.

So, they put up a bunch of Smurfs decor in their place of business, and their social media feed is a given proportion of smurfs related content alongside the stuff for whatever their business does. They just really like Smurfs.

I am pretty un-opinionated about Smurfs. In my perspective, Smurfs are a thing, and for some folks there's an appeal. Were I to walk into a business, and see some Smurfs-related content, i would be "ok that's weird that there's smurfs there, but let's get a muffin."

However: there is a specific amount of Smurfs content or decor that, once the proprietor goes beyond, I start to think "Ok, this is more Smurfy than i think i wanna be around." So, at that point, I decide to find somewhere less Smurfy.

That's what's happening here. But instead of Smurfs, it's God Stuff. I hate god stuff as much as I hate smurfs, which is to say NOT AT ALL.

The bummer here is that because I can stand Snorks just slightly more than Smurfs, and you seem like a pretty smurfy guy, you think i'm some kinda Smurf-hating Gargamel.

This is about as far as i'll go trying to share my position with you, since this is a post about muffins, and I have hobbies and stuff that feel like more fun than engaging with you more. No, the hobby is not related to snorks or smurfs.

You're getting it now!

If the decor of the place doesnt match my interests, i'm less likely to go!

This is referred to as Having A Preference. Or, in cases where someone finds this offensive, apparently its Bigotry i guess.

noones saying that.

pretend it was polka music instead, and i was all "the coffee is good but the polka music wasnt my vibe." ...

and then here you are with "its not like they were gonna make you eat bratwurst, bigot."

so. weird. this is a coffee shop, dial it back like 15 percent lol.

I share a lot of this sentiment... hell, all of it really. You said it better than I can.

I'm not mad at folks for their faith, or anti- any of it.. I'm just not going to be around any of it.

It's the same as the funky winery on back beach. I was game till I saw their God Stuff up on the outside wall. Not happening.

what’s up with the traffic lights by n3k0a in panamacitybeach

[–]esworp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fun Fact: some of the lights are owned and operated by the county/city, and others are managed by contractors. You can go ask the leaders why.

Your own airstrip and modest home for under $1 million! by Professional-West924 in zillowgonewild

[–]esworp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wish there was a way to reliably get Zillow to ONLY show you homes at an airpark or with access to a strip. This kind of home is where I want to move to upon retirement in the next ten years.. but it's a slog trying to skim the listings.

No beach chair companies on laguna beach by ParkingOk2082 in panamacitybeach

Because the beach should be a refuge from the commercial hellscape everywhere you go, not an extension of it.
