Call me Lenny/Leni ( @shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee ) English38•9 months agoRed flag: My friend once saw what looked like people setting a RadioShack ablaze and stealing all the expensive electronics and making off with them all.
Green flag context: It was actually a faulty electronic that caused the fire, and the “thieves” were Good Samaritans saving everything from getting burned.

Call me Lenny/Leni ( @shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee ) English2•9 months agoOh. I’m not sure. That’s the least they could’ve done though, considering someone posted a video of them saving the electronics and ruined their reputation. Made worse because they were loyal AA immigrant employees in a community that was growing unfonder of the immigration and the perception of what they were doing caused things to skyrocket.
Thisfox ( @Thisfox@sopuli.xyz ) 3•9 months agoWas there a reason they didn’t try to put out the fire or call the firestation? Triple-O or whatever is never far away.
Call me Lenny/Leni ( @shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee ) English2•9 months agoThe idea of anyone helping was a business liability concern, but the insistent bystanders wanted to balance that out with anything they thought they “could” do. Both the firestation and the police (because they had nothing else to do in their tiny area) were called but took a while because Winter was in its cusp at the time.
Ironically it was the fact the police understood the bystanders’ intentions that made citizens (who thought it was a burglary) accuse everyone in charge of being overly sympathetic to what they thought was immigration-spawned crime. Police even made a public statement about the bystanders’ intentions, but the citizens didn’t believe the police on that.

Count Regal Inkwell ( @VinesNFluff@pawb.social ) 3•9 months agoHi, protan here, you are not a correct. I am red-blind and it’s more like reds are extremely muted, with weaker reds looking kinda grey.
Yellows turn into greens, though, for perhaps predictable reasons.
SharkEatingBreakfast ( @SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz ) 18•9 months agoPartners who want to do everything for you.
They’re very giving, and will do you so many favors, and cater to your whims. Favorite ice cream? Let me go buy it for you! Need something from the store? I’ll go get it! Need a ride? Got you covered!
Once they have you “locked down” (married, pregnant, in a long-term lease, dependant on them for transport, etc.) they can do a 180 and suddenly “you owe them”. No more favors. Only guilt. They’ll isolate you and make every negative emotion they feel be “your fault.”
They want you to become dependant on them so they can use and manipulate you.
Be so very careful with overly kind/giving people. Never let yourself be 100% dependant on someone else. Ever. No matter how nice they are to you.

PowerCrazy ( @PowerCrazy@lemmy.ml ) 7•9 months agoHating the democratic party of the United States. Without any other context you would assume they are a republican. But once they start critiquing marx and explaning how Trotsky’s permanent revolution is the only viable path forward you know they are good people.
Alternatively, if someone supports the dems no matter what, that is a red flag that should never be overlooked especially when they start rationalizing their perverted beliefs by name-dropping minorities out of the blue.

Context?
molave ( @mo_lave@reddthat.com ) 2•8 months agoThe race was planned to run for 44 laps, but ended during the third lap due to wet conditions. Laps one and two took place behind the safety car before a red flag stopped the race on lap three. The sporting regulations required the results be taken from the end of lap one, with half points given to drivers who finished in the top 10 positions as less than 75% of the originally scheduled race distance had been completed.
