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.

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.

/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?

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!

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.

"it really does take a village" showing a photo of the village not giving a shit

...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.

"Good news! It was just a mild sprain!"

"What's the bad news?"

Poor life choices all around.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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.

Also, $0.00 chocolate chip cookies. Where is this again? Asking for a friend...

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!
