“It’s Actually Very Odd When You Think About It”: 50 Things That Are Considered Normal But Are Weird As Shared By Our Community

PLUS, lower level workers in every damn company are the ONLY ones who keep it running and make the profits for it, yet it’s the suits, who all think they f*****g geniuses when they’re actually just a bunch of entitled f**k ups and suck ups, who make bank—-and all they seem to be able to do is come up with b******t ideas that never work, but only make the lower level employees’ jobs even harder. And they do it without even asking any of the people who will be affected for their opinions as to whether it would even work. ALL employees should be given the opportunity to give their input when it comes to ideas being floated, whether by the suits or by the CEO or owners, that will directly affect them, but never touch anyone with a key to the executive washroom.

six weeks without bankers or six weeks without garbage collectors... choose wisely

We don't even need to look at that specific an example. Just look at lockdown in 2020!! Who were the people on the front line? Obviously health workers, heroes all of them, but many of us ignore the fact that there were people working the entire time in food shops and supermarkets, chemists, vets, street cleaners, public transport workers, lorry drivers, and so many others working from home.

Defund the financial industry!

Your not paid by how hard you work, your paid by how easy you are to replace

I am old enough to remember NYC being brought to it's knees by a garbage workers' strike in 1968.

but they won't because the rich control everything

And people making 7+ figures. They make sure the company is more “profitable” , but the workers doing the actual work aren’t making a living wage. Those workers are often crippled by the time they can retire. But hey, the higher ups can get that Bentley & multi-million dollar mansion.

yes, how dare people make a career out of doing something they love!

And people WITHOUT jobs.

Yes they can, that's very dramatic to say, hahaha

Odd comment.

Yes. What gives you the right to decide what people can and can't do to their own bodies?

They're more like manneqins.

@kona Wow, you're a piece of work. So along that line of thinking. If someone was burned badly or in a bad car accident or something...needed a bunch of surgeries (including plastic. It's not just for cosmetic reasons) are they no longer a human? The level of judgment in you is ridiculous. It's a lot grosser than anybody's personal choices.

YES.

Um… yes. Why would you even ask this question? First of all, what other people do you with their bodies is none of your damn business. (These modifications may be influenced by the toxic, narrow-minded societal ideas of beauty, and I get the problem with that, but they’re definitely not deserving of you calling them sub-human.) Second of all, why are you such a judgmental person that you think you have the right to go online and call an entire host of people less than human? I don’t usually post these really long-winded comments, but I feel there’s so much wrong with those two sentences you posted and I need to give my opinion on it.

They're Borg now.

Its a pretty nasty take that people who get modifications to match societies extremely judgmental expectations aren't really 'human' anymore.

What about the people who follow them? Can they be considered human? Are they striving for that?

politically correct or not, the truth is that everyone enjoys a freak show.

More cyborg than human. In fact some of them are definitely dsylexic Borg - their asses have been laminated!!!

Human is a subjective term these days.

Good point

They prefer to blame those who are poorer than them or ethnic:(

Sadly, "poor" often means poor educated and easily manipulated

It looks like they vote this way out of spite - they're consciously spiteing those poorer than them.

Because if the trumper got universal healthcare, all the people they hate would get it too. They'd rather deny themselves if it also means denying "those other people"

Yeah but it doesn't mean we should be going and making it so those who have worked their butts off to have a lot of money and live well should have to pay outrageous taxes. That's outright communistic, and a horrible, horrible thing to have in a country. Just look at how much the Chinese hate their country

They only make the rules because no one ever tries to search things up. People only ever take what others are saying and do that, they never actually try to find things for themselves anymore. If people would think for themselves we would have wayyyyyy less problems in the world right now

It still somehow seems worse. Oh look, a terrible thing, lol I'm going to record that so others can see the thing. Having said that though, that footage has been a help for investigating terrible things.

On the other hand the footage taken can be used as evidence in court.

Not a valid, or even acceptable, excuse. It didn’t make it OK back then, and still doesn’t make it OK now. If you are there, and have the opportunity—even more so if you also have the ability and/or training—-to turn a bad, or potentially bad, situation around, then f*****g DO IT! You may be that person’s (or animal’s) ONLY chance to survive. You miss that opportunity, and they die and/or are subjected to unspeakable violence, then you and you alone will have to live with the guilt for not even trying, and I hope it eats you up for the rest of your life. You want that? Then fine, whip out your cellphone and take the video, or just walk away, instead. Take your empty heart and soul with you when you do. The rest of us will be busy jumping in to help.

I agree, but bystander apathy feels a bit different to recording. Could be an age thing though..

I'd much rather someone stand there and watch me bleed to death than take out their phone and live stream or record a video to upload later so an even greater number of people can watch me bleed to death and laugh and/or give their oh-so-fake "sympathies and prayers". At least with the person just standing there my stream of obscenities fired their way for not helping will mostly be just between myself, them and perhaps a few of their family/friends in an anecdote, not a set-in-stone never-deletable undeniable exhibit of my final words.

Completely agree, but I remember times when this staring people wouldn't hinder rescue workers to do their job to get the best YT or TT video, while those workers trying to rescue/save a life! Society has gotten more rough in the last 10-15 years, cause having a mangled body on your 10 followers channel will get you a thousand clicks 🤮

Most people used to look AWAY tho

knowing about mob mentality can help to get over it. i must admit - one time i witnessed what seemed to possibly be an emergency and my first impulse was to walk away in panic. instead i remembered that this impulse is very common and i shouldn't do that and was than able to ask "do you need help? can i do something for you?" i think that's what many people experience

Yes that's why they say you should specify who you want help from. "You in the red shirt, get help!" will be more effective than just "Please get help".
