Red 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.

Hope they got all of the free battery of the month cards!

You could get a card that entitled you to a free battery every month.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh. 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.

Was there a reason they didn't try to put out the fire or call the firestation? Triple-O or whatever is never far away.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

The 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.

Witnessing a crime is a red flag?

If a person with protanopia/deuteranopia looks at a red flag, one sees green-ish flag.

[–] venoft@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Red flags: wants constant attention, nags constantly for me to make her dinner, sometimes physically hurts me.

Green flag: when it's my cat.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Lying and pretending to know something who's actually a complete stranger to them

When the stranger is a drunk woman in distress clearly trying to get away from a predator.

Color blindness test

If you’re colorblind.

If your partner is indiscriminately murdering vaguely shady people with a bow and arrow it will probably be fine, cause he’ll reset the universe and become god (or something?) just be sure to weep about being betrayed at least once every seasβ€”er… year.

Partners 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.

[–] Donebrach@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think you misread the question.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, I totally did. Whoops. I'm tired. Keepin' it up.

It was a good answer anyway
