    Y'all really need to realize the era the Bible was "written" in was completely horrific to women. I don't see why you'd want to regurgitate any of it in regards to women and sexuality.

  4. The delivery driver "narrating" the whole thing is also a tell.

    Why is the delivery driver taking the time to read aloud each page if the giant ass note?

  6. And that's another thing. You, a parent, leaving a note to let everyone know that your child is home alone AND asking a complete stranger to engage with your child who is home alone.

    Well now I want to see. It sounds like To Catch a Predator type shit where the kid goes to get soda and the camera crew comes out.

  8. People are posting these videos in hopes of going viral. It's the landscape of this new internet culture we live in. Everyone is trying to have their moment.

  9. Lastly, we have seen white people call the police on actual delivery drivers, but no one called the police on this woman who wasn't even wearing a uniform but was on that porch long enough to raise eyebrows?

  10. The adults driving the car the little boy got out of didn't walk him to the door, check to see who was on the porch or make sure he got inside safely?

  12. A little boy not older than 5 was going home to an empty house, an empty house that he entered without even locking the door?

  13. Someone left a brand new PS5 on their front porch along with $200 in cash and said as much in a giant note that anyone could read?

  14. But even further, the costume just happened to fit her perfectly? She wasn't worried about the legal risks involved with opening a package that wasn't addressed to her? No one in the neighborhood thought it was strange?

  15. A delivery driver is on a tight schedule and would not have time to do that.

  16. So many are sharing that video and remarking how sweet the driver was to take time out of her day to do that, and that is one of the biggest red flags that should clue everyone in.

  17. OK guys. I think we can all admit that while the delivery driver putting on the Mickey Mouse costume is cute and sweet and makes us feel good, it's staged and fake as fuck, and this plays into what I am talking about when I discuss media literacy

  19. Again, you are just shooting your gun, not even knowing what's really going on.

  20. From the article, it sounds like the person with the gun was outside the store and saw the shoplifter being chased out the store and decided to be a "hero" and shoot them.

  21. And then, because you have a gun but don't know what the fuck you are doing, you end up shooting the wrong person.
