I am advocating for shoplifting but the only thing I ever stole was a small packet of seeds from home depot when I was 7
I have no problem with people taking what they need and don't care about big box stores. I'm just not wanting to get in trouble with the mods.
What do you like to steal the most when in a supermarket in Minecraft?
It's interesting seeing it from the admin side. Here, at least, they're largely just trying to stay out of trouble. When lawyers or police come knocking at the door, it's already too late, and we're not always sure where that line is.
A couple things we absolutely know will cause trouble. I don't know if/where that line would be with shoplifting.
And of course the mods have their own opinions.
I just mean I'm not trying to start off anything controversial. Haha. But I'm not angry at the tent encampment people in my city swiping food from Walmart at all.
Same. Just without talking, people always think the worst. The admins for Lemmy.World are a non-profit in the Netherlands.
They're a bit more professional than Midwest.social, who I absolutely respect. But there's a different level of professionalism here than the guy hosting a server out of his Ohio basement.
On the other hand, they don't have the big corporate backing and structure of something like Reddit. LW doesn't have a team of lawyers if they get into trouble. Do they even have one lawyer? How involved is that lawyer if they do exist? I can't say.
Well it's hard to see a grocery store here charge 8.99 for deodorant and care a whole lot about the ethics of swiping it.
Understandable
If wages had kept up with CoL since the 70s, it would be minimum 10× what it is now. The only reason why things are expensive is because of Greedflation. Things could easily be 1/10 the price and companies would still be profitable, it’s just that the Parasite Class wouldn’t be making off with their unearned billions that they stole from the working class.
Hmmm, I used to steal roasted pistachios at Tesco as a kid. I mean, like every time I was there with my mom. Not that she cared.
