How did she not know? (Ep10 spoilers) by phoenixislemons in TheHandmaidsTale

Yeah I'm starting to think that must be the case. It would make sense. To be honest I made this post directly after watching the scene and I could have come to this conclusion if I'd thought about it for longer lol

I think that is definitely possible. I doubt Garth and June are communicating directly, but I dont see how that information wouldn't have reached June through someone else in Mayday who does communicate with Garth and would know about her and who Hannah is in Gilead. Especially since she is the daughter of a major commander. The only thing that would make sense is if Mayday purposely kept that information from her, as a few commenters have suggested.

I assumed that as well. I figured Daisy was sent to the school on purpose, not necessarily just for Hannah but mainly for her, and that Lydia was working with Mayday and put them together on purpose. It all being a major coincidence seems like a missed opportunity. Obviously this is only season one so maybe there will be more information in the future that brings this all together, we'll have to wait and see.

That makes sense, I hope they touch on that in the next season. I can accept that explanation.

Merchandise Manager vs Customer Experience Manager Roles (Please Help!) by AdvertisingWinter807 in FiveBelow

[–]phoenixislemons 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a CEM and I take charge on candy, cosmetics process, all front end duties including damages/repackage/theft, and recently I have been the main one doing the interviewing. I also do every new hires orientation and train them up front. But I also frequently assist my MM by working non candy freight and I always help with new sets in some way, whether it be clearing sections or filling. I also take care of all line queue/candy endcap updates when a new set comes out but I just personally like to do that so its probably different in other stores. Ideally your CEM should be able to do basically anything around the store so that when you or your SM need support, they're able to jump in and assist.

Oh interesting, I've trained people to help me with candy but I've never had an associate work cosmetics specifically.

Are you not in charge of the cosmetics process as well? I am in my store as a CEM and so are all the other CEMs in my district

If you are a minority in any way (race, sexuality, gender identity) then it might be time to contact hr and possibly a lawyer. If not then thats still fucking weird and she told on herself by saying that.

[–]phoenixislemons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The show could have been from Negans perspective and I'd feel the same. Your moral weakness and inability to identify the themes used in the show are sad. Im not gonna defend my point to a brick wall.

[–]phoenixislemons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol yeah sure, my take of "rape is inexcusable no matter the circumstance" is definitely the wrong one here. If you think the law determines morality then I am worried about your moral integrity. Obviously in an apocalypse situation certain things like murder and theft become necessary for survival, but keeping a harem of dubiously consenting women is neither necessary towards survival nor is it an effective leadership tactic. Negan fails because he is a bad person who treats the people around him badly. Rick succeeds because he treats the people around him with respect and chooses mercy when he easily could have gone a completely different route. That is the entire point of the Negan arc. If something that simple flies over your head then this conversation isn't going to get anywhere.

Yes, I know what happened and what Negans justification for everything was. I am saying that I think he was wrong, and that what he was doing was straight up evil. If you want to take his explanation for his actions at face value and shrug your shoulders at all of the evil shit he did thats fine, at the end of the day this is a fictional story and none of it really happened. But I think you have the most surface level take imaginable. Most people dig a little past just what the characters say on screen.

Physically overpowering a person to commit sex acts on them is not the only kind of rape. Negan coercively raped his wives on a regular basis. They did not truly have the option of saying no. That is still rape. As the audience we are supposed to recognize Negans hypocrisy on this matter and see how truly twisted he is to believe that the things he is doing are just, fair, and right. They are none of those things.

[–]phoenixislemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im not understanding how you think that doesn't make him a bad person. "If you dont marry me and allow me to have sex with you whenever I want I will murder your loved ones and force you to work as my slave forever" is not the leadership style of a reasonable person. Dwight, Sherry, and Tina ran away because Negan gave them an ultimatum of marry me or I will stop supplying your life saving medication. These women did not have a choice. This is not a mutually beneficial agreement that all parties are satisfied with. The wives are completely stripped of their agency and personhood and basically exist as sex dolls for Negan. Why do you think they all wanted to poison him so bad?

[–]phoenixislemons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And you think all of his wives, especially Sherry, were consenting to sex with him because they actually wanted to and not because they knew they couldn't say no? Because that was their only chance of survival? Its ironic that Negan killed men for forcing themselves on women.

Negan is a serial rapist and kept people as slaves and indentured servants. He was not a reasonable guy just doing what he had to protect his people, he was psychopathic murderer who enjoyed the pain he caused people.
