Where I live, there are entire homeless encampments, like little villages of tents and tarps.
Fentanyl is said to be a big part of the problem. Meth was already a huge problem by itself.
So long story short drug war= heroin and cocaine scarcity= cheap quickly available chemical alternatives like meth and fentanyl= addiction spiral increase= poor and homeless= Windows can’t open a window without lagging. IT’S IN THE NAME YOU CAN’T EVEN DO IT

We are not that far from vandal hordes surviving by pillaging and looting. Just make sure you are on the bigger hordes side and you should be okay. It all starts with shoplifting out of necessity and lack of opportunity.

shoplifting is based as hell, this worked really well for me. /j
Just remember, if you see someone stealing food…
…No you didn’t
Last time I saw someone grabbing some food the only reason I saw them was to mention a security guard who was about to turn down the aisle. Gotta watch out for each other
*stealing anything. (As long as they’re stealing from a business, at least.)
You could be holding the cashier at gunpoint and emptying out the register, and I didn’t see shit.
You lose me at the point where you’re pointing a gun at someone that is just trying to make a living. Stuff merchandise down your pants all you want I guess, don’t point a weapon at someone making minimum wage.
I’m not pointing the gun. I just didn’t see the guy who did.
Corporation, you mean.
The word business covers honest people making an honest living running their own thing, too.
Just because a business is small doesn’t mean it’s honest.
That is true, but it doesn’t automatically mean that business = dishonest. I like to give human beings some benefit of the doubt in a way that abstract things like corporations do not get. They were born into the same superficial capitalist dystopia I was, and their job might simply mean being self-employed and dealing with the general public. As somebody with a desk/wfh job, that sounds sucky in a retail sort of way.
Don’t misunderstand me though – plenty of them are total shitbags. I need to find a new local mechanic and it sucks. I’m just saying check your assumptions.
True, sometimes the most abusive businesses are small.
Do you consider all businesses dishonest?

True, but they’re probably not ripping you off and reporting billions in profit. Corporations are almost guaranteed to be. My neighborhood gas station is not on the list.
but they’re probably not ripping you off and reporting billions in profit.
Nah, they’re just ripping you off and reporting thousands in profit.
They’re doing the exact same thing, just on a smaller scale. And if you got rid of the big corpos, they’d grow to fill the void left behind and start doing it on a bigger scale.
So every working person is an asshole and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it?
Doesn’t seem too ethical to me. Sounds like a justification for being an antisocial asshole.
So every working person is an asshole
Nah, most of them are just working for an asshole.
and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it
Well, you could also grow it yourself.
But, sure, stealing is one of the most ethical ways to obtain food.
Did I say it did?

And I wasn’t replying to you.
Why you replying to the corrected comment to someone else, after I deleted the accidental one?

I’m ok with stealing ftom the store. I’m not ok with them endangering the cashier.
Not small mom and pop shops. Anything on the stock exchange absolutely.
I mean, you should probably tell them that it’s unsafe to point a gun at people.
Stealing anything not from a private non rich individual.
I actually am excited to teach my kid tricks to get free shit from places like Amazon and Walmart. I’ve mentioned my excapades a few times, and have instilled in him we don’t steal from our neighbors no matter how small, people work hard for their shit. But companies that report $54 BILLION in profit and treat their employees like trash are fair game.
The Robinhood this world deserves.
I once remember reading a story where a police SQUAD chased a woman for over 3 hours in a police chase.
The crime? She had stolen 2 loafs of pumperknickle bread, and ran out of the store. Employees chased her, got her liscense plate, and cops pursued.
They then arrested her, and I forget the exact jailtime she got, but it was more than 10 years. If I were an employee, I’d have “chased” her. Just enough to get my bosses to think I was trying, but then oh no, I’m too fat and slow! She got away in the parking lot.
The passel of pigs was led by none other than Javert
Police fucked this lady up for a candy bar and 20oz drink iirc. I fucking hate cops. Broke her arm, slammed her on the ground then laughed at the videos later with their coworkers.
Was she brown?
The only people who say this are out of touch rich kids
how does that statement as a response make any sense?
Because people who live in areas where this shit happens regularly dont encourage it. Its scum behaviour that destroys the community.
Bro, it’s a little food. They’re not knocking over shelves and burning places to the ground. Walmart can get fucked, as far as I’m concerned Walmart created their own problem.
Its not a little food people walk out with shopping carts full of meat and other expensive items. Its not just Walmart this affects every store.
How do the losses compare to the profits? How do the profits compare to charitable donations? How do the profits compare to taxation? How do the profits compare to average employee wage? You recognize the side you’re taking, right? You’re trying to adhere to a moral line when dealing with a blatently immoral entity.
These are not losses. They’ll just push up the price of goods based on their chance of being stolen.
You’re not stealing from the store, you’re stealing from everyone else that actually pays for the products.
Unless you’re stealing from a small shop that doesn’t have the time and resources to calculate price based on theft. In which case, you are an asshole for stealing from a small business.
You’d fit right into my neighbourhood. Thats the same scumbag me against the world logic that makes it such a shithole.
Companies unloading customers pockets and not paying living wages. At some point it’s going to be expected you’re going to get shit stolen. Its also insured.
You’re probably the same person to vote against SNAP and free school lunch, then still bitch when people who can’t afford to eat steal it. Either help them, or prepare to get fucked.
No, Walmart destroys communities.
How is that at all relevant?
You some champion of missing the point?
🤣🤣🤣
Its not a point. It changes nothing in the discussion.
the community is already destroyed when its acceptable to snitch on those who can’t afford groceries. ALL HAIL BIG CAPITALISM!
You think they can’t afford groceries? This is what I mean by out of touch.
And you think they can? Why would they risk heavy fines for a fecking loaf of bread?!
Heavy fines? Shoplifting anything under 2k you walk off Scott free and thats only in the unlikely chance you get caught.
Why do food stamp type programs exist?
To feed people who dont have money to buy food… So they dont have to steal.
Do you live in such an area?
If you were make an ordered list of things that destroy a community, where does “petty theft of groceries” fall on the list? What other things are included?
As a poor person, nah.
As someone who’s spent a lot of time with out-of-touch rich kids, they think shit magically appears. Especially money.
Where do I pick up my check?
“Free Switch 2 when you bring your switch.”
for the ultimate Switch-a-roo!
Wear a red polo and khakis, go to electronics and ask for the key to help a customer. Bazinga.
I have never witnessed someone stealing groceries…and I never will.
I once didn’t see someone stealing food but then the weirdest thing happened to my memory when I saw them leave their cart blocking the sidewalk
I did.
she stuffed raw hamburger in her flaps and tried to waddle out.
shit was gross and she smelled like a urinal.
Did you help her pack away some soap too?
no. only reason why we knew about the hamburger is because the cops frisked her.
I once saw a lady walk right through the self checkout and out the door. The only reason she got caught was she picked up a big frozen crab legs box and that triggered the alarm.
Don’t even need to steal it, just gotta show the staff your fidget spinner tits and they get so amazed that they give you everything for free. I’ve been doing it since 2019
Wait. Am I replacing my tits with fidget spinners, or am I supposed to be affixing fidget spinners to my tits?
Born that way, your mother would have had to use fidget spinners as utensils the entire time she was pregnant. For every single meal.
Wait, were you born that way or are you talking about them? I am weirdly invested but confused.
I was born that way but my mom slipped up and used a fork once when pregnant with my sister and she was cursed with normal human tits, and no one has ever gotten anything for free with those.
Now I just gotta find a good surgeon with questionable morals…
Most people pay twice as much
Some grocery stores only give a staff discount on certain days of the week. But the five-finger discount works every day
Entrapanure is great, love their shit on youtube. Maybe I should look for their other accounts. Didn’t realize they had any. https://youtube.com/shorts/N3CiOjTDTEs This is their most popular short so far.
Yeah I’m a huge fan of the channel and their associations. My favorite is probably the one’s are usually the Dupont method series.
If you’re not in a constant state of post-nut clarity, then you’re constantly in a state of pre-nut delusion.
