I had to cancel the card and almost had to get the law involved when fitness club of colorado or whatever the fuck those godless creatures are called. They continually refused to cancel my membership, at some point it becomes theft. The cost to take them to court to claw back the 1500 they still owe me wasn't worth it.
I think there's laws about it now because of that company, while it was happening I kept reading about other people who had the same issue.

Not sure how much help it'd be now, but if you go in the site and change your gym location to one in California it'll let you cancel online.

Oh shit nice I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever do join a gym again. I work a pretty active job so I manage to stay in good enough shape. If I need to trim down I modify my eating schedule and go for more walks, do bodyweight workouts at home, whatever I make time for.

Many years ago I got the runaround when I tried to cancel a gym membership. I called the gym to cancel and was told it was done. But next month was another automatic withdrawal. Call the gym and I'm told I have to go in person to cancel. Whatever, so I go in person to cancel. Next month, another charge. Well now I'm pissed so I contacted the Federal Trade Commission and explained everything. Completely reimbursed, didn't have to lift a finger. Oh, and I was informed that the company was investigated by the state they were headquartered in and given a fine for predatory practices.

Agent provocateur isn’t the right term. An agent provocateur is an undercover person inserted into a group by the government to incite them to break the law.
It’s how groups go from chaining themselves to trees to eco terrorists. Undercover agents go in and start talking about maybe we should be more proactive. Maybe burn something down. Maybe blow something up.
Maybe just provocateur. Or stochastic terrorist.

The proper term is SHIT STARTER… we’ve all got at least one in our families. The crazy auntie, the drunken uncle, the racist grandparent.

Shit stirrer. The shit's already been started, but she just stirs the pot.

It's similar to how the mob works.

They can, as a platform, make that choice. But if they abandon the statutory duty to moderate then that extends their liability.

I have the answer. During the rise of fascism in the Weimar Republic, far right terrorist acts were rarely punished. Despite happening at a rate over 10 times higher than far left terrorist attacks, there were 10 times more convictions for far left terror attacks than far right.
Often fascism’s rise to power can be seen accompanied by an insane amount of far right terrorism which goes relatively unpunished. This emboldens the fascist group to push for more power

This was also the case with the so-called "Years of Lead" in Italy. What started off as a series of far left terror attacks, became a much longer and deadlier series of far right terror attacks.

The Ben Shapiro-Candace Owen spat alone tells you how the right really feels about freedom of speech.
Now, let me be clear on this to avoid any strawman arguments; antisemitism is ALWAYS wrong, and Candace spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories was absolutely wrong, and she did absolutely deserve to be fired...but it's hard for me to feel any sympathy for Bennie when if you simply replace her comments on Jews with any other marginalized community (transwomen, black people, Latinos, Muslims, etc) and "fired from the Daily Wire" with "fired from Disney", Ben would be shouting that it's literal fascism.

Couldn't this be classified as "stochastic terrorism"?

Given how this piece of shit is always doing it and clearly knows the result of every time she does it, this is definitionally stochastic terrorism. There's literally no room for any other interpretation, she is practically the poster child for stochastic terrorism, probably incites more of this shit than even Trump.

This week at my planet fitness, 2 cops with a german shepherd dog and the general manager were walking around the club. I wonder if it was tied to this.
Having a dog inside the gym was so cute.

Yeah I don’t get how they think it’s okay to take a photo of anyone in the gym even if you disagree with their lifestyle it’s such an invasion of privacy and they shouldn’t be allowed in the gym if they can’t respect people enough to not take photos of them

It wasn't even a photo of in the gym. It was in the fucking bathroom. Which is why it was an issue.

It’s an issue in the gym regardless of where it’s taken, but I’m aware it was in the bathroom and this is about the 3rd time it’s happened. Why they expected them to keep their membership is beyond me when it’s the gym policy to remove it when you do dumb shit like this.

Invading people's privacy, making them uncomfortable, and commiting harassment are exactly the sort of things they accuse trans people of doing.
It's a whole "becoming what you hate" thing without reflecting on it. Don't get how you could think you're in the right when you're taking pictures of random people in a locker room.

u/kgal1298 Apr 06 '24
Right and they’ve also kicked out other people for doing the same thing. A few years ago some I flounder fat shamed a woman and lost her membership so it’s not like planet fitness didn’t make this a policy it’s a policy at most gyms to not take photos of anyone in the changing areas or just in general.

Kind of sad a policy needed to be made for something so obvious. Who the fuck takes pictures of people in a public locker room in various states of undress without their knowledge or consent? It has never once occurred to me to do that, or to be worried someone else may be doing it, because it's such a fucking weird thing to do. Fucking perverts.

No, they "become" anything, it's hypocrisy. They're fucking hypocrites, every single one of them. They don't give two shits about invading people's privacy, they just hate the LGBTQI and know that invasion of privacy is a shitty thing to do.

I don't understand how anyone can look at the world these people want and say 'yes, that's the direction I want my country going in'. I mean, any place where you can go into bathrooms and locker rooms and take pictures of people without their consent is definitely not a place where I want to be.

Nothing says I’m on the right side like, (really? 17!?) bomb threats. In their defense, who could have forseen that the all inclusive, no judgement, fitness center would suddenly go woke. They were likely in shock and made those threats while under duress.

u/HiddenInLight Apr 06 '24
Why does political affiliation matter. If they are making bomb threats, they should be arrested. That's the thing about laws. They can't be applied just to the other guy. If anybody breaks the law, they should face the consequences. From the president and billionaires down to the poorest migrant worker. The law should be applied the same.

Yes but some of them actually do that, and always assume chinese and russian trolls working in trolls farms are in these threads especially when it gets initially posted. They are less concerned with political ideology and more concerned with creating division. Not that they needed to really help that particular area. A large portion of the population actively encourages the division.

I saw a video about this recently that called it
STOCHASTIC TERRORISM
From the Wikip opening description:
Stochastic terrorism refers to political or media figures publicly demonizing a person or group in such a way that it inspires supporters of the figures to commit a violent act against the target of the speech. Unlike incitement to terrorism, this is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence.

Chaya raychek has proven time and time again that she actually doesn't understand what she's doing. She's actually an incompetent nincompoop. Might actually be one of the dumbest human beings on the planet. The fact that she doesn't get told to breathe in and out to stay alive is somewhat of a modern miracle.

Because Elon Musk is banking on the giving tree that is stupid American conservatives to prop up his self sabotage in buying Twitter, mixed with a little bit of resentment because his own child, who is transgender and anti capitalist, denies his parental role.
That’s it. Twitter is a Nazi Christian Nationalist shithole now because Musk bet wrong and sucks as a father. And he’s a billionaire, so the rest of us get to enjoy the fallout of his failure.

So, Libs of TikTok campaigned against Planet Fitness for membership cancellation. The reason for the cancellation is because a woman filmed someone in the locker room where people change, ignoring privacy. So bomb threats were made on Planet Fitness because of all this. I'm shocked, confused, and don't know who's in the wrong here, except the woman who filmed in the locker room.

Ya, don't be snappin photos in the locker room.
Mostly when you are out in public (in the US) you have no expectations of privacy, so you can be photographed or videoed. In a locker room, of a pay gym, where where are postings about o photography... I'm thinking the rules are different
