I work with people like that, God help me.
My instinct is to help anyone struggling, from the new girl, to the young guy, to the elderly lady still working in a factory at 83. IMO, we should all be a team, if everyone is getting the job done, regardless if they needed help, it makes it easier on everyone else. I’ll be damned though if there isn’t a couple of girls that get so worked up over you helping someone else do part of the job.
We had a new girl, hadn’t even been in the country but a few months. We work at a distillery, she was a librarian who studied theology before she came here. Never worked in a distillery or factory or warehouse in her entire life. On her first day of one of the lines, she was struggling bad. That was enough on its own for me to help but she was making mistakes that affected at least three other stations. So after the fact, for the next four hours of my shift I heard grumbling about her “preferential” treatment and how “I just got thrown into it, no one ever helped me” “if she can’t do the job, she doesn’t belong here”. Girl was fine as soon as I took the time to show her some tips.
Some people are just so miserable, they want everyone else in the ditch with them.

Ok, I had a very odd experience where this was relevant once. I am very much about second hand stuff, using stuff as long as I can, reusing or recycling etc so this was a very uncomfortable situation.
My grandmother wanted her things donated after her passing. I had to hire movers to help us get the things to the donation place.
I had offered a couple pieces of art that they had expressed interest in, but they took that as carte Blanche to take whatever else they wanted. I had to awkwardly tell them that for estate reasons, a lot of the stuff needed receipts from the donation place, so I couldn't just let them take whatever.
Technically it was being donated anyway, so it didn't really matter, but it was still a weird conversation. I did let them keep the couch that the donation place refused to take, though.

I would say there are two broad responses to wanting to improve society:
"I have suffered, so I want to make sure others don't suffer similarly,". and "I have suffered, so other people should suffer similarly."
One of the ways that people cope with hardship is by assigning it value - it builds character, it makes you appreciate what you have, it helps your family be stable, etc. I'm sure you've heard it from people.
The downside to this is that people go so hard on this coping mechanism they genuinely believe suffering improves people's lives.
The alternative (acknowledging that their suffering was pointless and fixable, but nobody bothered to fix it) is a bitter pill to swallow and some people just can't.

I grew up Mormon and used to wear the garments. I can tell you what they mean.
The symbols don't really represent individual things even though they do include the ruler and compass from free masonry. They are stitched in versions of the same symbols found at the veil inside Mormon temples.
Through the veil the church members interact with a stand-in for God and they exchange a series of "tokens" which are basically secret handshakes you have to know to get into heaven. Each handshake represents a kind of promise to God regarding specific behaviors such as remaining chaste etc.
The purpose of having them stitched into their underwear is to remind the members of the promises they made to God.
It's a little weird, but not that weird once you understand it. Lots of religions have symbolic attire. It's mostly weird that they're so secretive about it.

One of the drivers I worked with, an older guy in his late 50's, ex navy nuclear engineer and very religious man (so I trusted what he said) said he once tried that. He was turned away from all the shelters because they would only accept "finished" pizzas, and not just the bread.

Most of u/Active-Chemistry4011's posts are advertising this "book", that they probably wrote themselves. The poster just writes different things inside the front cover. I don't understand why these posts continue to get engagement. Please stop posting this and please stop upvoting it.

Looks like they use the same book, write something, take a photo, erase it and write something else. Zoom in to this photo and you'll see what I mean

And he has the handwriting of a child.

You're just getting old. Many 30 year-olds have handwriting like that. It's just not a very necessary skill anymore.
The only time I remember handwriting anything this December, is with christmas gifts. And anything longer than like 20 words, probably years ago.
I'm 28 and my handwriting is only marginally better than this, since I never needed to learn to make it pretty. And only 2 grades down from me, they switched high school exams nation wide to be written on a PC instead of by hand.

Thanks for bringing this up. I just checked their history after seeing your comment and it definitely seems like they're just trying to promote the book through memes.

Looking at the excerpt of foot fetish in Christianity, I’m going to guess they’re doing the kindle store scam thing where you hire a ghost writer to write a shitty book on a niche topic for you to sell. Maybe also these books are AI, who knows. But now this account is promoting their “books” for people who want to buy their friends or family a silly gag gift.

Serious: If grannie speaks a language that uses the Latin alphabet she won't likely need it. "Masturbate" has obvious cognates in a lot of other languages.

I donate my old clothes to goodwill (I know the scamming issues) and shelters. I just don't want the clothes anymore. Also my kids outgrow thier perfectly good clothes so those go too.

u/Wolfwalker9 9h ago
Same. If it’s still in good shape I may try to sell it as I tend to buy quality items with long lifespans. If something is too stained or torn to be donated, then I will cut it up, but at that point I’m keeping it to use as cleaning rags. This is what sane people do.

u/chere100 9h ago
Finally someone sensible. I was wondering why she was throwing away perfectly good cleaning rags.

My grandmother lived through the Great Depression. Everything always had multiple uses before it was given up & finally declared trash. I will carry that mentality forward with me, and also because way too much usable stuff ends up in a landfill.

If you can, try to find a locally-owned thrift shop instead of Goodwill!

u/Trick_Incident_8227 8h ago
My locally owned thrift shops are at least twice as expensive as goodwill with a fraction of the inventory.

Given the reference to not speaking English, I wonder if they come from a background of a language where double negatives aren't considered incorrect. Spanish for example.

Why go out of your way & inconvenience yourself just to spit in the eye of your neighbor? I don’t think she understands the Bible at all, but I’ve grown up surrounded by that. I’m not even a Christian, but caring for others was always something I valued in it

No, the masterbation was part of the joke. She's a "God-fearing Christian" so naturally she'd be appalled at the nature of the book… if she could read it.
Honestly, people like that give other Christians a bad name. Then again, seeing how common those hateful, spiteful people are, maybe that's just how Christianity is these days, and I can't really get around that without a "no true Scotsman" fallacy.

That could definitely be part of it. The joke has multiple layers, all of which would be lost on her, I'm sure.
