The wagie unironically, He could have calmly explained for Alan to wait for another member of staff but went into a tantrum over a customer wanting service
yeah this, kinda wish the wagie wasnt such an instant dick because id be him in this scenario and while I have been an butthole to customers I'm never that bad
reminder that service workers actively hate you and if they could avoid interacting to you at all they would. they get paid by the hour not by product sold so in a way you're actually making their life way harder for them just by being a customer. i don't even say thank you to the cashier anymore. just give me my shit so you and i can both stop tolerating each other you moronic failure.
they aren't paid to help you they're paid to be there. five minutes spent helping you is five minutes not spent on slacking away on their phone which is what they'd rather be doing. if you had friends that worked in service you would know this.
Both, I used to work corporate as a stocker and got annoyed if someone asked me where something is when I'm super busy. I wouldn't be an ass about it though so I only ask wagies who aren't doing anything.
Shelf stockers are put on strict time limits because companies expect two people’s labor out of each employee. People often get fired from Walmart for not stocking fast enough.
Maybe managers do but I never did. I quit though after I got tired of them bullshitting me around by taking all the coworkers away to do pick up orders.

>muh time limits
maybe... just dont keep to them? Lmao the worst they can do is fire you and shitty wagie jobs are a dime a dozen and will take anyone. Dont bust your ass for no reason when everyone else is sat in the back room jelquing. One of the benifits of a dead end wagie job SHOULD be that you can put in minimum effort. If you are expected to work your ass off you're better off in a warehouse or something because at least then you get some qualifications for machinery and arent dealing with customers.

I'd call it being a normal person
Ask anyone on the street and they'll tell you that being a porn-addicted freak is a bad thing
The other freakazoids you talk to online who 'validate' your lifestyle are just a small bubble in an ocean of normies who hate you
They are bad but the issue is that their effect is overstated by people who are politically motivated to pin everything on individual responsibility and to avoid the more complex discussion around external factors that predispose a person to addictive behavior.
No, it's more that a society which seems hostile to the next generation is going to disincentivize the members of that generation from pursuing normal pathways to success. If a person feels that it's pointless to get a good job, to save and invest, views education as a sham, and dating as impossible, then they're going to supplement their crappy lives with alternative sources of pleasure. It's not just porn and cheeseburgers, but lots of things, like excessive consumerism or video game addiction.
You can berate these people, saying that it's on them as individuals, sure, but it just doesn't do anything on the macroscopic level. Obesity gets worse, drug use gets worse, coomers get out of control. Neopuritans even acknowledge this when they support porn bans, but like drug bans, people find a way around it because the engine for addiction has never been dealt with.
I disagree, plenty of people have said that pornography is addicting and has been pushed by big corporations hard especially more hardcore genres like incest and rape

I hope you get help bro, porn addiction is tough as frick even for women in some cases. My girlfriend and I both had EPI (early porn introduction) as kids and it has been a struggle to quit this habit we've both had since around 10. But together I feel we can make it. Open up about your struggle to someone, change your diet, do something dawg.
>plenty of people have said that pornography is addicting and has been pushed by big corporations
This doesn't contradict what I said. Pornography can be addictive, but video games, drugs, and even food can be addictive too. In some cases, you do have more stimulating porn, video games that exploit neurobiology, harder drugs, or hyperpalatable foods, but that doesn't change the fundamental reasons why people get addicted to these things in the first place. The drug epidemic, porn addiction, sexlessness among people in their 20s, and some pretty bleak economic forecasts for gen Z and millennials are all related. Society is constantly signaling to ordinary people that they're worthless and abusable, so of course they opt out and pursue some alternative means of satisfaction.
I agree that it's pretty obvious that Smiling Friends has what I guess you could call a "Petersonian" philosophical bent that can be kind of annoying but I like the animation so I don't care
>I agree that it's pretty obvious that Smiling Friends has what I guess you could call a "Petersonian"
That's actually a pretty succinct way of describing it
>Petersonian
It's absurdism. Zach and Michael say repeatedly they're not pushing a political or philosophical idea on you, they just find this shit funny. If anything, absurdism is probably the only thing it really is since it has random, vile, violent incidents occur almost at random juxtaposed against cheery characters trying to make the bleakness of the world more tolerable.
They can say that as much as they want, and it's true for the most part, but the subtext is there. I don't find it remotely offensive or anything, to be clear. I just think it's silly to try to argue that there's no philosophical undercurrent to the show
You'll find any philosophical subtext if you choose to see it. I think absurdism is the only real philosophical push it makes, claiming it's "Petersonian" is s stretch. I can't think of a scene that really comes across as some Jordan Peterson-esque philosophy.
I don't know the context, but corporate for cutting jobs to the bare minimum and overworking the single employee they're willing to pay to do every single task in the store in a single 6 hours part time shift that they refuse to promote to full time because that would force them to give them health insurance while the middle manager disappears for 20 minutes on her 18th smoke break today.
reminder that service workers actively hate you and if they could avoid interacting to you at all they would. they get paid by the hour not by product sold so in a way you're actually making their life way harder for them just by being a customer. i don't even say thank you to the cashier anymore. just give me my shit so you and i can both stop tolerating each other you moronic failure.
this thats why every job I've had I make myself valuable in the area that has least customer interactions, like at my pizza job I became the guy who made the dough, no more customer interactions after that cause i was always busy
The episode was missing some overarching plot or joke to tie all the randomness together besides getting paper clips. Like maybe Allan slowly gets fed up until he just loses it and does something drastic, or his misadventure ends up making everyone he meets smile without him even trying (gives D.J. spit a cigarette as he dies, compliments him on his music, the skeletons find real treasure during the fight). In any case it feels like the plot could have been stronger. The president episode could have introduced the worms earlier to make their later turn more impact full and properly frame why it is that Mr. Frog was doing well despite his psychotic behavior. Instead it gets hashed out in a 60 second scene. The Qwimbly episode worked because it was one depressing setback after another until both plotlines collided with a happy ending.
And I know Allan suffered setbacks and his entire ordeal was foreshadowed and planned by his landlord but there should have been a moment where he went off-script and that's when the series of randomness becomes intriguing.
I think you're onto something and that bingo card is mostly me besides calling porn posters newbies. I'm in my late 20s and lewdshit has been normal on Cinemaphile forever (promotions)
however coomerism and fetish content has definitely grown more vile and disgusting over the years and shit like the prevalence of cuckoldry on every board is very new, which I personally think is the result of porn addictions
Initlaly the wagie for being rude but also allan for continually escalating and not just asking someone else and not even attempting to look himself before asking the guy who was clearly busy.

It's not the customer's fault you're in a bad spot in life anon, just do your job.

Not reading, kys.
a discord troony in the wild, fascinating
If they're such chuds why haven't they ridiculed trannies in the show?
Too cowardly?
isnt corey from smiling friends fricking a troon now? i dont keep up with it i just saw it in another thread
not smiling friends, their youtube lets play shit
Is it somehow controversial to say flashing light dopamine drips and pornsickness are bad?
Some posters get incredibly asshurt if you dare suggest that they are making lifestyle choices that contribute to their unhappiness.
They are bad but the issue is that their effect is overstated by people who are politically motivated to pin everything on individual responsibility and to avoid the more complex discussion around external factors that predispose a person to addictive behavior.

tiktok has porn?

love how you freaks are now making up scientology tier terms to cement the brainwashing
>EPI
lmfao what the frick
EPI is a legitiment term used by gooners to groom young children for sex and pornography addiction.
See: Giggly Goonclown and Jean Hollywood
how is there anti porn propaganda on Cinemaphile when literally every thread is an excuse to dump porn of cartoon characters?
Anyone got that image of Hugh Neutron flipping the bird?

I feel like we're on the same page, are we arguing or agreeing? lmfao
To the average coombrain, yes

They both were. Alan should've left when he saw that he was busy, but the wagie shouldn't have escalated it to an argument
Spider guy obviously. He immediately threatened him for no reason
FRICK OFF BASKIN ROBERTS WILL NEVER BE A MEME
someone want to check their bot?
The homosexual's just self advertising
The spider threatened him
Alan did literally nothing wrong, spider guy was an butthole.
it's like a weird cartoon but they stutter and have normal adult problems, but it's wacky!
Yeah it's pretty funny. I like it.
I pitch Smiling Friends to people as “What if Regular Show was TV-MA and 100x as unhinged.”
anything that isnt just pseud "i hate my life lmao" trash is at least above average
the moron who couldnt look at store isle signs for paperclips
Somebody’s never worked with the public.

the show is only 10 mins long and has to be very economical at being funny while moving along a story.

Alan was for trying to ask somebody who was clearly busy when the boss was doing frick all, but Spider overreacted.
100% Allen there was another employee he could have asked after the guy told him he was busy
I unironically think Mr. Boss is sexually attractive...
