  • Wait dirty deeds? I don’t recall all the lyrics to that, let me go look that up.

    Tap for spoiler

    Just ring, 3-6, 2-4, 3-6, hey I lead a life of crime

    Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap

    You got problems in your life of love? You got a broken heart? He’s double dealin’ with your best friend That’s when the teardrops start, fella Pick up the phone, I’m here alone Or make a social call

    Come right in, forget about him We’ll have ourselves a ball, hey

    Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap (ahoo) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap Hoo-yeah

    If you got a lady, and you want her gone (ah, ah, ah, ah) But you ain’t got the guts (ah, ah, ah, ah) She keeps naggin’ at you night and day (ah, ah, ah, ah) Enough to drive you nuts (ah, ah, ah, ah) Pick up the phone, leave her alone (ah, ah, ah, ah) It’s time you made a stand (ah, ah, ah, ah)

    For a fee, I’m happy to be Your back-door man, hey

    Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds (done dirt cheap) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap (yeah) Dirty deeds and they’re done dirt cheap

    Concrete shoes Cyanide, TNT (done dirt cheap) Neck ties, contracts High voltage (done dirt cheap)

    Dirty deeds (do anything you want me to) Done dirt cheap Dirty deeds (dirty deeds, dirty deeds) Done dirt cheap

    Yeah

    Ok, so yes it does mention having a “nagging lady” and wanting her gone. In fairness, the two examples dropped first are a male school administrator who takes advantage of students for his own gratification, and a "double dealin’ " man in a relationship who’s cheating with his partners “best friend”. So yes, the song has violence. I don’t think a “nagging” partner would be equal to infidelity or sexual exploitation of minors, but the character in the song is not noted for his sense of righteousness. Certainly not something I think a “backdoor man” would be warranted for.

    Kinda feels like the character is slipping deeper with each justification, using less and less to assuage his conscious of any guilt over taking money for what he’s doing.


  • Having worked stock in a grocery store, this is part of it. After asking alot of different people at different levels, the consensus is that shelf space is also paid for by many brands, and what space goes to who is decided way above the store level. So once in a while the stockers get paperwork that moves a ton of stuff around, and no one who works in that location has the authority to say no. Sure, sometimes a manager will do that anyway, but they always have a reason, and it’s usually something about the reality of the store configuration, like not putting too many cold items near warm areas, to keep humidity down and reduce spoil.








  • The incorrect assumption here is that disbelief is an active state. Denouncment and denial may be active states of thought, but disbelief is a passive state. Like the way that on and off are an active and passive state, respectively. The argument that disbelief implies the denial of something that therefore must exist to be denied at all is inherently flawed by this assumption. If I, being in a state of ignorance of subject “x”, would have neither belief nor disbelief in “x”, but total unawareness of "x"s potential existence as a subject. To then be told by an outside perspective that “x” exists and I must believe in that existence without any proof of the claimed state of “x”, I could choose to continue without further consideration of “x” and my existence would continue without belief or disbelief in “x”, only knowledge of that concept existing for outside perspectives. However, I could more easily explain this reasoning to others with the simple statement “I do not believe in “x”.” My statement would be reductive and simplistic, yes, but would do nothing to prove that “x” must exist and hold my belief because I have any knowledge of its concept.

    The claim must be proven by the one making it, not the one being told of it.
