Let me put it another way:
They fail the vibe check
It’s a red flag
Bad vibes and red flags don’t mean for sure someone is a bad person, they’re a call to be alert and suspicious.

It’s absolutely a good.
The only “cart returner” I saw against it basically just claimed that the people in their town/state/country were too incompetent to operate shopping carts (even if that’s not what they explicitly said) so idk if i really trust them or want to use that as a measure.
Making work for others to save yourself some trivial amount of work absolutely says something about your character
I feel like this was chosen specifically because it’s one of those cases where it’s easy to tell.
For instance, there was a Walmart next to a bus stop I used to take. People had to take their groceries to the bus, but Walmart didn’t put a shopping cart corral within like 200 meters of it. I don’t really blame people too harshly for leaving their carts there, if they’re taking a big load of groceries on the bus.
Fwiw it’s not that it’s a social norm that is important, it’s it’s natural as a social good, and it’s nature as something (typically) trivial to do.
Lol yeah
But also let people like stuff. Don’t be a snooty ass about it.
I never considered the counter argument: Americans are too stupid to operate shopping carts 😱
Apparently there is some validity to that.
But assuming basic human competency that the rest of the world casually exhibits, successfully putting your shopping cart back is a mark of common decency and failure to do so is either a moral failing or a sign that the person should absolutely NOT be allowed to operate a vehicle
You can typically tell when someone is in the kind of rush that’d excuse being a jerk to others
Murca has invented these little devices that trick the machine so you don’t have to put in a quarter.
They’ll do anything to avoid being decent lol
Now I need to look up corgi cults 🤔
Sure it’ll add years to your life (sentence)
For a minute I mixed this up with Marry Ellen Carter by Stan Rogers
May your ass not be lost to the knowledge of men
the first thing you do is get a rag
Was because you were downplaying the importance of the rag. The rag is more important than the water is. If you’re cleaning a mess, and your choice is between water and rag, you choose the rag.
How commonly do bidet users scrub with both TP and water in a single sitting? The internet and this comment section suggests it’s pretty rare.
People are choosing between bidet (water) and tp (rag), and in your analogy, you’re saying the sensible choice is to wash something with only water and no rag. Your analogy only holds water (lol) if you don’t actually think about it.
Is that clear enough for you?
Oh God, the compression.
You’re gonna bring back deep fried memes again
Oh I totally agree.
But voting liberal (eg Dems in the USA) gives us more time to find a solution. It’s not the solution, it’s just a stalling tactic. Even when they’re trying to block opportunities, it still results in relatively more opportunities than otherwise. I think there is value in that.
There are times when spoiling a ballot or even voting the other way is good, it sends a message which may (unlikely) cause a shakeup. But to simply never participate just accelerates the destruction.
Your lack of self awareness is absolutely astounding because not only did everything you say apply to you, but in fact you somehow missed that I already did it.
You complain about how you could just write the same response again because I “didn’t understand it” in a post where I literally had to rephrase my same point again because you didn’t understand it
You say “2 fucking things can be true at once” as though voting to slow the disaster prevents you from doing any of the other things you said I should be doing.
Fuckin learn the concept of critical support you absolute waste of space. You sit on your high horse like some fucking internet edgelord pretending because YOU didn’t vote for the bad person, that nothing the bad person did was your fault.
Never mind reading what I wrote, read what you wrote as though as though someone else sent it to you. 🤯
Your priorities just make no sense to me.
Yes both parties are bad, but voting for one is voting for more opportunities to save yourself.
The decision to prioritize giving them the middle finger where nobody can see it over helping yourself is something I can’t get my head around. Your resistance does nothing but help the speedy arsonist.
It feels like you’re just listing off talking points to score cool points with a bunch of Lemmy edgelords.
But you’re waving while standing inside the burning house where they can’t see you. Your protest just makes it more likely that the speedy arsonist gets the chance, and does nothing to harm either of the arsonists.
For complete strangers who you never see again, it doesn’t matter if you judge them or not, you’ll never see them again.
It’s useful on aggregate to tell the general attitude of an area to set expectations for interacting with strangers.
But mostly what people are talking about is when you’re getting to know someone. If you find out an acquaintance or romantic prospect does/doesn’t then it’s one (of many) indicators you can gather to build a model of them.
Remember, this isn’t deep. This is intentionally super simple. There is no “struggle” involved that wouldn’t be immediately apparent. There is very little room for nuance because there is very little to be nuanced about.
This is “given the chance, will this person spend a trivial amount of effort to make someone’s life easier, if there is no personal gain?”
