Carter Stevens started reselling discarded items from dumpsters around Nashville, Tennessee, in March 2024. Months earlier, he'd been living in his car.
Is English your second language? When you use “bottom feeders” to refer to people that has a negative connotation:
bottom-feeder
noun
bot·tom-feed·er ˈbä-təm-ˌfē-dər
1: a fish that feeds at the bottom
2: one that is of the lowest status or rank
3: an opportunist who seeks quick profit usually at the expense of others or from their misfortune
1 clearly doesn’t apply, these are people. 2 doesn’t make sense as an objection against them doing it unless you hold lower ranking people in contempt, and 3 also shows a negative view of them. If you didn’t mean any of these things you should choose a different phrase. You can also explain what you actually meant, if you didn’t mean for what you said to have any negative connotations.
You called them “bottom feeders” twice and you believe that doesn’t have a negative connotation?
Shrimp are bottom feeders and you believe that doesn’t have a negative connotation?

You clearly care about this more than I do.
Enjoy
Hope you learned something 😘
Not from you kiddo. Cheers
That’s sad, I hope someone else can help you with learning English!
This is what you’re doing this morning, having a one sided “argument” with me? Lol grow up. I couldn’t care less what your saying to me
You’re arguing? I was explaining what connotations words have and asking if that’s really what you meant.
It’s free to stop replying if you don’t care 🤷♂️
