God love them, but the latter-day saints seem to go out of their way to make themselves a huge target for clowning on. At the same time owning huge amounts of land and increasing their holdings.

Ya know, I gotta say one thing for the mormons. I was born in far west Texas at the NM border. White people except for the handful of us jews were either evangelicals or mormons. They both loved mission trips. Mormon kids always did mission trips to other countries and came back fluent in the language and with friends from those countries. Evangelical kids came back with pictures of them putting up poo poo tier shacks and the money could've been better spent paying local builders and putting the rest into the running of the school instead of sending useless american teens overseas and loading them down with bibles instead of useful things like food or vaccines. In conclusion, mormons are my favourite kind of wasp.

Don't forget that the "All About Mormons" episode's moral was that the Mormon kid was actually the good guy and the regular cast couldn't get past their prejudices and had a lot of growing up to do, "drat, that kid is coool"

The last South Park episode I watched was about a character learning that she shouldn't see herself as a victim because it made her a joyless whiner instead of someone who could take charge of her own life. The episode IMMEDIATELY PRIOR was about how getting a crude TV show cancelled is the moral equivalent of nuking a major city. If there was even a trace of irony or self-reflection in those episodes, I couldn't detect it.

Even as a kid, the idea of mission trip seems weird. The church would tell stories of kids going to Africa and saving a village by digging an irrigation ditch. Like, why did white hands have to do it? Did africans not know about ditch digging? Why couldn't you have just hired someone local to dig the ditch rather than spending thousands on plane tickets? Like, just the juxtaposition of using these big modern airplanes so you can go somewhere and build something out of scraps with no experience. It just seemed so wasteful.

People sincerely believe that not leaving a mess is morally wrong, because cleaning up after yourself will make workers lazy and entitled, and is therefore going to destroy society. But, re: shopping carts, I've seen a few anecdotes from people tasked with rounding up all of the shopping carts that loved it because that was time on the clock that they didn't have to spend dealing with customers

This is a very stressful situation and I need to know. Please don't tell me it involves asking him because then I really will hide it in a ditch to avoid the interaction.

I got a second job at a Chipotle cuz my wife is pregnant and I just show up early morning, do prep, and clock out with my free employee meal just as the store opens for lunch. It's incredibly liberating. All the fun, none of the customers.

I liked doing carts but it's also physically very demanding. Don't add to their cart train because there is, actually, a limit to how many carts you can push without hurting yourself. Yeah, they're on wheels, but they're heavy, and a long train of them can be very hard to steer. If conditions are bad, they might not be able to do more than five at a time. I know you don't want to ask them "Where do want this?" but that is the right answer. Next best case is to leave it nearby, just at the entrance of the corral, so that they may either take it or leave it, as they judge appropriate.

Brawnfire posted:Cafe settings are the weirdest for this, because some people will bus their tables entirely themselves for the next person to avail themselves of the table. Others will leave everything for the staff to come out from behind the counter and put it in the bin. What is the actual custom here? If everything you've used is disposable, or if there's a tray holder or return table for dirty dishes, obviously you can bus it yourself, but that's not universal. If I've just had a drink, I'll sometimes leave my cup or glass on the counter, and the barista will politely thank me if they're manning it, but I have no idea if this is correct. E: All shopping carts here come with a little lock that you need the coin equivalent of two dollars or a token to unlock, which is released when you return the cart to the corral, so at least I've never had to worry about figuring those out.

The cup is included in the cost of the beverage, just take it home, if you return it you actually get the staff into trouble because of inventory mismatch.

That's usually how I got about it, yeah, a cafe will sometimes even have a spot right at the end of the counter for you to drop off empty cups separate of the main trash/bussing tray area. I figure it's whatever saves the baristas from having to physically exit the counter and bring things back to the counter, so all they have to do is a quick spritz 'n' wipe between customers. But again, I'm also dented into this shape by working at those places and quietly seething, so maybe I actually am just doing their job for them, idk.

I will make absolutely no excuses for that 2005 South Park episode about transgenderism, it was unquestionably uncomfortably transphobic. The season 23 episode with a guy pretending to be transgender to enter a women's sporting competition was definitely poorly conceived and got some well deserved backlash, even if the argument it was making wasn't that trans athletes shouldn't be allowed to compete. Season 18 had an episode that was in favour of accepting trans identities. Caitlyn Jenner was portrayed extremely unattractively, but she was dragged for being a lovely person, not for being trans. Yeah, I'm not going to pretend it's not been treading a very volatile line on the subject, and they've absolutely given transphobes fodder, even if not intentional. So I will agree with the criticism, even if I really don't think M&T are transphobes. They did come out strongly in favour of gay rights extremely early with the literal fourth episode of the show in 1997 having the message "there's absolutely nothing wrong with being gay and it's wrong to ostracize people for being gay", a later episode was fully in favour of gay marriage, and the consistently most sensible adult characters are a happily married gay couple. Their opinions just absolutely don't align with what the GOP are all about these days, and they've definitely never been conservatives. Or liberals, just to cover that. But the more I type I'm realizing I'm becoming the idiot on social media for keeping this up, but there were some things I wanted to respond to. And the username I've had for over 20 years has its origin in a South Park character so I'll admit to being slightly biased. At least I return my shopping carts and take care of my fast food trays because I'm not an inconsiderate butt

I can't look in their heart, but I can look at their actions. If someone keeps saying transphobic things, I don't really need to know whether they are genuinely hateful, they're still doing damage. I don't really put a lot of weight on nominal support. Lots of people "support trans people" but then draw the line at "gender ideology," which generally means literally any way a trans person can be allowed to exist comfortably in society. Very very few people actually think "I am a bigot and proud." They just have bigoted notions of what counts as reasonable. That's kinda the trick of centrism. They decide on the framing, so they can have any opinion on an issue and it can be equidistant between the two sides.

The South Park episode about George Zimmerman is great, at the end he shoots a white kid and as soon as the cops see he's white it smash cuts to Zimmerman getting killed in the electric chair.
