The system that's trying to dumb you down LOVES when you really believe an image can tell you everything you need to know.
Keep thinking that way, and don't forget your Brawndo!
There should be a civil service job called "mother" and women who have children and stay at home to take care of their home and children should be paid a living wage with benefits and retirement through our tax dollars. Conservatives, you say want more children to use as wage slaves and fewer abortions? Okay, prove it. Start paying women. Women have been doing unpaid labor for centuries. Give them pay and benefits and watch how many of them are willing to have kids.
But getting pregnant has to be punished, not rewarded! Because having sex is bad! Children are only a blessing because it lets us hurt women for having sex!
I think that's how they think?
This happens, and it sucks for the parent and for the customer.
I haven't been to whataburger since i've been yelled by a parent behind the counter because their kid wouldn't leave me the fuck alone and I had the audacity to be kind about it so obviously i'm a pedophile or something.
This is the kind of thing I used to see under /r/upliftingnews on the other site, along with Americans failing to notice how dystopian it looks to the rest of the world.
/r/OrphanCrushingMachine
Isn't it lovely that this beautiful child, with a bit of determination and a whole lot of luck, escaped the orphan crushing machine?
Dystopian? They've briefly averted the orphan crushing machine! It's cause for celebration!
That might have been the main reason I left the other site. Wasn't banned, wasn't using apps, but one can only take so much of this being labeled r/wholesome or something before I had enough.
Ah yes, another one saved from the orphan crushing machine 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Everybody cheer! Nevermind why we have one in the first place.
and her manager let her work
🥰 wow so benevolent, they LET her work even with a child to take care of! what would we do without such great people in the world!
Not only that, but I bet she got a pizza party in her honor and they only charged employees $5 per slice!
Brought a whole ass baby to work
This image tells you everything you need to know...
Is that because there are words explaining the image?
A child's face says a lot. Especially the mouth part of the face.
If there was a village, couldn't someone from the village watch the kid while she worked her shift? This is showing that it takes a village, but the village is missing.
Jesus christ
...would have made a whip and negotiated with profiteers the old-fashioned way.
This implies that the evangelical Jesus has anything to do with the biblical one
When this happens in China it's labeled forced child labour
The real outrage is that this kid is observing people eating McDonalds slop and is at risk of learning that behavior.
Okay small win. She didn't lose her job.
Societal big L Loss.
Poor life choices all around.
"Good news! It was just a mild sprain!"
"What's the bad news?"
"Your advanced AIDS is making the rabies even more difficult to treat."
Also, $0.00 chocolate chip cookies. Where is this again? Asking for a friend...
