lol I went to walmart and bought a bag of chesters flaming hot fries, and this mom with a couple kids when she saw those in the stuff I was checking out. she ran back to grab a bag of them to...and so like I think her seeing me get those made her want some....but they are super unhealthy and bad so I also feel kind of bad for being encouragment for someone to eat very unhealty junk food, but also she was a mom so maybe she just needs an occasional indulgence even if it is a bit unhealthy.

Cause yeah I was minding my own buisiness buying my spicy snacks but nontheless it influenced someone else to get them to. But they are very unhealthy so I don't want to encourage people to get those.

I like their hot fries but I prefer jalapeno cheetos. I don't care if I'm a bad influence for others or not as long as I know I'm not actively encouraging somebody to do something I know is bad for them or bad for others. I'm a little bit of an anarchist & strongly support adults being able to make their own personal decisions.

That's not bad influence.
Not really. You're just minding your business and hadn't made a scene.



Bad influence is when you're very dysregulated and set that dysregulated state as the example norm for a kid and meet with said kid on a regular basis for then to handle your dysregulation.

Bad influence is when you plant ideas and convince of children of misanthropic rhetoric and basically recruit them by indoctrination.

It could also involve bragging type behaviour or promoting or advertising bad things in the media.

No. You were just buying yourself a snack that you enjoy.

I wouldn't have cared less. What other people buy for a snack is their own business and not mine.

But I wouldn't but the spicy hot Cheetos, or anything else that would leave my mouth in searing pain.

Your impact is minimal, if you should be fined $100, the snack manufacturer should be executed 800 times

I thought fries was the American term for what is 'chips' in Britain, the cooked, shaped potatoes (not to be confused with crisps)?

I could be wrong.

It does sound more like it would be crisps, considering the context of the post, unless they were at the hot food counter or something?
