So a Bible, a Tora, and a Quran are in a box. The Bible pipes up, "I hope I get to go to a lovely Christian lady!". The Tora says, "I hope I go to a lovely Jewish boy for his Bar Mitzvah!". The Quran is sweating nervously as it passed by Customs.

About a year ago in a Facebook cross stitch group someone posted that they had ordered a feminist cross stitch book from Amazon and on the inside back cover had been written that the buyer needs to find god or something like that because the book is very politically left leaning with curse words in it.

Instructionals would probably be better received if they were couched in more casual language.

u/xSTSxZerglingOne 7d ago

I would say more than likely because more people would understand. Dry, detailed instructions, while on the surface, are technically the best when followed closely, are not likely to be followed closely.

Adjusting for that disparity would be more or less what you propose. And honestly, that's what we almost always get when we're in a job, right? Basically everything at your workplace has a detailed instruction manual, but nearly all workplace knowledge is generational and passed down from employee to employee.

Writing something that's more closely aligned with, say, an internal monologue is probably going to be better followed than a technical manual.

If I know anything about the type of person that would order a feminist cross stitch book, that note now makes the book even better for them. It's been endorsed, like the places that use "Worst place I've ever been" as their branding reviews.

Also side note of almost the opposite of this. One of my favorite old books I have is an early 1900's book on ocean biology that has a written note saying that it was given as a prize in Sunday school.

It happened to me too. But I never raised an issue. I ordered a rainbow cake and specifically told them it's for pride event and I needed it in a specific color. The person on the phone was nice and took down the details.

But on the day I went to pick it up I met this angry looking woman who was probably the owner and she handed me a cake that had the colors all messed up and did not resemble a rainbow.

I asked her for a refund because she didn't deliver as we asked and it got into huge argument and she eventually threw the money at me and said they don't serve 🚬 she must have intentionally fucked it up in some weird form of protest and thank God I didn't take the cake god knows what she must have put in it.

I felt so powerless at the time. All I could do was write a review about and which she responded to saying it's not true and I was the one who was making things up.

Not the same really but I ordered a Vr headset from a guy on ebay. He looked up my socials, saw that I was queer, called me the f slur and proudly proclaimed he would not send me the headset, while pretending to be dumb as if he never received payment. Customer service did practically nothing aside from telling me to "resolve it with him". Had to dispute it with my bank and won't be using ebay anymore

59

u/zorbiburst 7d ago edited 7d ago

That's weird because eBay almost always sides with the buyer. Like, almost to a notorious degree where people who sell things through multiple channels tend to avoid eBay because of a frivolous dispute comes up, they'll likely lose.

Unless the buyer themselves has a bad rating, usually all it takes is saying the item never arrived or was in poor condition and eBay will cover them. Having explicit proof that seller isn't working should be a cakewalk.

Hell, I tried to dispute a payment for an expensive book that I never received, and eBay sent me money almost immediately. A month later the book actually turned up and I tried to reach out to the seller to explain/apologize/see if I needed to send them anything to make it right, and they said it was cool and just said that's their risk for using eBay.

u/hungrypotato19 7d ago

We went through this 3 times with our small business.

The problem is, us queer people don't want the attention. We often don't want to raise a stink because that means the media could pick up on it. If that happens, say goodbye to your normal life because you're about to be inundated with hate. And when I say "hate", I mean having people sending you white powder in the mail, vandalizing your property, calling your phone and screaming about how they want to kill you, and so on and so on. I've seen it happen more than once, and have even had to temporarily protect a family after Greg Abbot started targeting families of trans "kids" (that "kid" was already 18, but the state wanted to go after her for letting her kid transition before 18).

I ordered a copy of “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius, and it showed up in shrink wrap. Thought that was weird but I’m like “sometimes books for college courses come in shrink wrap, maybe that’s why.”

Nope! When I open it, there’s a thick folded up flyer saying shit like “having trouble in your life? The only answer is the word of god!” With a coupon for a discounted Bible from the same company. Searched by Vendor and they ONLY sold philosophy texts, and mainly the sort of thing people turn to when they are having a hard time, stoicism, existentialism, and Nihilism.

Making a "mistake" isn't fraud. You usually need to prove intent or gross negligence in that kind of case (varies by country/region, your mileage may vary).

If the seller says "oops my fault" and actually takes reasonable steps to resolve, that wouldn't be fraud (unless very widespread)

u/TipzE 6d ago

It's why a lot of people hate fundamentalists.

They insist that they are the ones who speak for god, and they are the ones following the religion, and everyone else is wrong.

But then when things are clearly against those views, they just abandon the entire facade.

Bill O'Reily once had a segment where he overtly admits that Jesus would've been a democrat.

But he doesn't care because he wants tax breaks. And so do his far right audience.

All that stuff about morality and values and the like are secondary to "getting their way".

It's just thinly veiled fascism.

I mean, Target has never been an LGBTQ+ ally. Ever. The only reason why they were temporarily selling LGBTQ+ stuff was to save face after they got busted. But any time conservatives have spoken out, they have removed stuff and/or replaced anti-LGBTQ+ things (like a transphobic book full of lies and fear-mongering).

Imagine the sad life of the religious zealot that works at a Target fulfillment center that thinks they are going to make a difference slipping in some bibles over some gay books.

I’m sorry but stuff like this just annoys me so much.

  1. Being christian your whole thing is that you love everyone, you don’t go out of your way to decieve them or annoy them or do hate speech. So why do you think its ok to do this with someones order, it completely goes against your teachings.

  2. ITS NOT YOUR BUSINESS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE DO/BELIEVE. If someone is lgbtq, islam, jewish, aethiest that is FINE. Let people have their own beliefs again love one another is like your biggest thing, maybe actually stick to it.

I had another thing i wanted to say but my minds gone blank with annoyance. People that do these things just annoy me so much. I hate how they justify their selfish actions with their teachings when their teachings have nothing to do with that. They just can’t let anyone be a different religion to them not even catholic christian. Like just mind ya damn business asshole. Btw i used to be catholic christian but then got fed up of the whole thing after learning about science in school and realising how inaccurate the bible is at times. So personally i just don’t believe in it.

Reminds me of someone my brother knew at target who would mark any sort of birth control/abortion pill down as “out of stock” when filling out online orders. Said it went against her “morals”. She was pretty nutty all around from what I heard.

I think it says somewhere that Jesus didn’t experience sexual desires/attraction(which would make him asexual)

21

u/augustles 7d ago

I think there were actual schisms/heresies over this topic. I believe the argument was that implying Jesus couldn’t/didn’t experience sexual temptation would mean that he wasn’t fully human (wow, early church. wow.). There were disagreements over Jesus’s nature being godly vs. human vs. both and how much of each. Catholics believe Jesus was fully human and fully divine at once, which makes sense as they enjoy ‘mysteries’ like the doctrine of the Trinity.

u/Cinnitea1008 7d ago

I remember seeing the video in question a couple months ago on tiktok and someone commented that they worked at Target and explained the process of fulfilling orders. The person who fulfilled the order would have had to go to the aisle, scanned all three books, put them in the cart, scan them all again before putting them in the box, grab the Bible, put that in the box instead of the books, print out a label, and send it out. So it was definitely intentional based off of that worker's account of Target's fulfillment area.

27

u/Cybus101 7d ago

As a fulfillment employee, I can confirm it would definitely have to be intentional and they’d have a record of your scanning the books, prepping them, making the container, printing the label, but then the wrong item being sent, so they 100% would know who it was, when they did it, and who to fire or reprimand.

u/Its0nlyRocketScience 7d ago

I dont think the number of Christians is increasing, it's just that more Christians are becoming radicalized by trump and fox news, so we see them more. What used to be lots of quiet Christians and a few bad apples has turned into fewer overall Christians, but a much higher percentage of them are bad.

It's because of MAGA. They're trying to take over the country and turn America into Gilead. Evangelists have sensed that their power has been waning in recent years and are trying to violently wrest it back. It seems crazy until you realize that almost all of the major terrible decisions made in this country in recent years have been religiously motivated. Overturning of Roe V. Wade - religiously motivated, 10 commandments in schools - religiously motivated, attempts of banning contraceptives and at trying to pass a bill to force all pregnant women to be put on a government registry to be tracked - religiously motivated, "inspecting" children before letting them go to the bathroom - religiously motivated. It feels like not enough people recognize that this is happening.

Evangelists

I think you mean Evangelicals. But yea. Evangelicals infiltrated the GOP since the early 00's / late 90's at least. Big reason why being anti-abortion was always a requirement to be a Republican candidate. The stuff coming to fruition now is just the result of their planning to convert the United States government into a hardcode fundamentalist theocracy by any means necessary.
