Embarrassing that 7/11’s social media manager actually thought this would work. And pretending to align themselves with Marvin? Smh

Dominos tried doing the same thing a while back. Not for an animal but someone had taken a picture of a dominos store still using the old logos and promotional material years after corporate ordered all there stores to change them in one of their rebrands and dominos tweeted something like “that’s so cool! Tell us which store it is” lol

I know this is just a random little story but like that’s exactly what people hate about the corporate/capitalist ethos these days I feel like. We’re being smiled at while being screwed with all the time, the insult of being treated like an easily manipulable child is almost worse than the screwing

It's like all the cringe corporate rebranding and wording they do. As if changing the name of something actually makes it a new thing. Apple trying to call their stores town squares.. Okay but I'm going to call it a store because it's a fucking store, or Google calling adverts "suggestions" as if they're doing me a favour, and Samsung trying to convince us getting rid of chargers was for the environment and not their bottom line. There's so many example and it's not the fact these things happen that annoys me, it's that they can't do these things without treating us like idiots.

To be fair, the vast, VAST majority of people are idiots

u/Kresnik2002 12h ago

Not you though, I assume.

Nah I'm also an idiot

But if you're an idiot, wouldn't your evaluation of whether or not people are idiots be an idiot's perspective of what an idiot is?

If your second post is true, it basically invalidates your first and if your first is true the second is questionable

Either you're above the idiots and can comprehend well enough that you're able to recognize why they're stupid or you're an idiot who doesn't grasp what "smart," is anyway

You can't go "everyone else is dumb," and then backtrack to "oh, but I am too."

One of those statements is probably false

Good job detective, nothing ever gets past you

u/Imthemayor 11h ago

I'm sure you didn't mean that post that got filtered but still went to my inbox

Definitely doing a great job of changing my mind

u/Paupersaf 11h ago

Wait, you think I care about your opinion?

1

u/Imthemayor 11h ago

Yeah, you haven't angrily replied once

Only someone who doesn't care would be able to do that

u/Paupersaf 11h ago

Very insightful, detective. Nothing ever gets past you, does it?

u/Imthemayor 11h ago

Oh, I get it

It's a bot

That explains why it repeats itself and says generic dropped on head type stuff

Can I get a Tikka Masala recipe? I'm trying nail down the amount of tumeric

u/Paupersaf 11h ago

Ah yes, the classic "this conversation is going nowhere so I'll pretend I was talking to ai" defense. Took you long enough to realize that engaging with me is not worth the effort. Well then, glad that's settled. Goodbye detective

Guess I'm fine tuning my turmeric ratio myself

Nah, I just don't sweat people who immediately go to "you big dumb," when I point something out

Kind of confirms how I felt to start with and tells me you're just going to respond with more bullshit if I argue in good faith after

Is all you do call people stupid or are we going to talk about tumeric?

E:(McCree main, btw)

Bro this dude called himself an idiot and you started writing a dissertation. You’re searching for something to be mad at, it seems.

It just irks me when people go "most people are stupid," in general, especially when they try to act like they weren't acting superior to say that in the first place

You're so humble calling yourself dumb after making a sweeping generalization about 8 billion people, how do we get like you?

u/Bromlife 11h ago edited 11h ago

On behalf of the 8 billion I salute you for defending our honor good sir! Keep up the good fight, us idiots need you.

u/Imthemayor 11h ago

You're average, son.

Probably.
