      Bonus points if, when called out for it or otherwise inconvenienced for not putting the cart where it belongs, they double down and continue to dump the cart in a parking spot.

      My parents and I were at the store last week, coming back to our car in a handicap spot (my mom recently had knee surgery). Two assholes had already dropped their carts off in the blue painted areas next to our car blocking the door, and another asshole literally pushed his cart in front of us to join the pile.

      The store’s entrance where all the carts were was literally a dozen steps away.

      I was steaming mad all day, absolutely ruined my outlook on humanity for a few days

        So if you miss the trash bag when throwing the stuff in McDonalds you don’t pick it up, right? Because there’s people paid to do that. FFS…

        Yeah cleaners are paid to clean that doesn’t mean you should thrash the place. Same thing applies here.

        • I thought this was when I was in 4th grade. I would rip up paper under my desk so the janitors would have work and wouldn’t get fired. But then I grew up and learned there’s other things these positions do. It’s like some people stopped growing at a certain age.

          I used to know a guy that would leave all his trash right at the table and say “there’s people paid to clean that up”

    Non-adherence to the “Golden Rule.” It’s very simple, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

    Religious components aside, just don’t be a jerk to others. Start from a place of respect and reevaluate after they show their colors.

      That’s the plain and simple categorical imperative by our good friend Immanuel Kant!

      “Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.”

      (it’s a mouthful but he was onto something!)

        Yeah, I’m a weirdo. Treating others how I want to be treated would be a fucking problem. I don’t like unstructured time in my workday. Forced breaks are traditionally fifteen minutes of me anxiously spinning my wheels. The golden rule would stipulate that I try to make sure other people get as few breaks as possible because I sincerely usually prefer to stay in my task flow/mindset. The reality is that my coworkers appreciate the flexibility my work style affords them. I will be there taking care of shit whenever they need their unstructured time. They can count on me to provide them with the opposite of what I want.

          It doesn’t mean doing the exact same thing, it means treating others in the way you’d like to be treated.

      Religious components aside,

      The ethic of reciprocity is found in pretty much every society that has ever been known to exist.

      As much as one or another religion might try to claim it as exclusively their own, it is really a basic pre-requisite for any sucessful society.

    You got hurt and lost a job, God’s plan…

    Lost your baby to cancer, God’s plan…

    Mom got remarried after her first husband died in an accident, God’s plan…

      If you believe in the imaginary sky fairy, then everything that happens is part of his plan, isn’t that how this belief system works? (Unless you pray, then he’ll change his plan just to suit you). Or do you get to cherry-pick which bits you believe in? Oh wait…

      Being a registered Republican doesn’t even necessarily mean agreeing with them. In my state, registering as a Republican allows you to vote in the Republican primaries. Regardless of who wins that, the Republican is likely to win in the general election.

      Registering as a Republican gives me the most opportunity to elect the least shitty candidate.

    My wife spit gum in the parking lot a couple months ago.

    I was not happy.

    There’s a few other instances lately where she’s not been thinking through things. She’s becoming more like her dad in her later middle age, and I’m getting concerned.

    I was a latchkey kid with early onset major depression.

    I developed my moral compass when in my thirties I realized I was ignorant and my father was defending extrajudicial detention and torture of POWs by the United States. (That was the sort of thing masterminds did in movies to show they were evil, so WTF, America?)

    Since then, after considerable deep dives, I’ve come to the conclusion that no one is raise right, that the industrial age decimated the extended family in which kids were raised by a community of adults, and parents weren’t driven to exhaustion by work.

    Mental illness and abuse in the developed world is intergenerational. My parents are mad as hatters, but they didn’t have a chance. And their parents (The Greatest Generation) were traumatized. One was a WWII sniper with 30+ kills and ghosts in his eyes.

    The human species is flying by the seat of its pants. We’re in uncharted territory. It’s not possible to raise kids right so much as with more or less functionality, which is not the same as capacity to cope.
