I also don’t do anything to be clear. But I do get annoyed when people steal more than they could consume clearly to resell it for profit… because that expense is passed along to paying customers who actually pay for their steaks.
Like, there isn’t a chance in fucking hell the major grocery chain is just taking that loss right? So they will ensure profits remain high, regardless of the rate of shoplifting taking place. So my steak costs go up.
But I’ll take that to being a snitch any day. Just trying to provide a more balanced outlook as to why paying consumers might get upset when they see a shoplifter at the store they pay for stuff at. Because it actually does impact them in some way.
I never blame the people asking for tips, I instead blame those giving them.
I’ll list my Bitcoin address for anyone who would like to tip me! As I wrote out this whole comment for free, a tip seems quite reasonable here. If you disagree and choose not to tip me, that’s ok since tips are optional…but please don’t start rambling about how others should be tipping when you yourself did not tip me when provided the opportunity.
I miss the days of VHS and DVD shelfs in homes, for example. If you bought the tapes and had them in your home, no corporate entity could alter those tapes without your consent, monitor how many times you watch them, sell your data to whomever they please without your knowledge, roll out new mandatory conditions to a ‘user...
Yep. And I’d argue it’s an almost ethical responsibility for those aware of all this to preserve a media archive via piracy. Sort of like those monks that would repeatedly copy old scrolls before they would degrade or whatever.

There are as many or as few races as we decide to make up at any given time. There is no scientific basis for drawing an objective line between racial groups. And ‘mixed race’ people like me just fuck it up more and more as time goes on.

And it was always clearly stated as such. It’s absurd that anyone was upset by this. I have yet to find a single user on here who did not properly understand what it was for, or at least none willing admit to being that dumb.
Odd that so many people here are implicitly defending all other companies like Nike, Apple and McDonald’s… as long as it’s not Uber exploitation is ok or something?
It’s very simple, the left lane is for passing and the right lane is for not passing. It’s clearly defined as such.
40mph semi passing a heavier/slower 35mph semi, while annoying at times, is a completely correct use of the lane. As is someone going the speed limit passing someone else going 5 under. A 250mph Lambo passing a 220mph Porsche is also using the lane correctly.
Speeding is completely separate. If someone is speeding then they might get a speeding ticket, but it will not matter at all which lane they happen to be in. If they get a ticket related to the lane they are in, it would be in relation to incorrectly using the lane (such as passing on the right. The left lane is not for blocking speeders, its for passing. Call the cops if you would like them ticketed for driving dangerously, but blocking them just makes an already dangerous situation more dangerous.
My point is everyone is supposed to be in the right lane at all times unless actively passing, including the Lambo. Everyone.
If I’m on a totally empty highway I would drive for the entire journey without going in the left lane as there would be literally no reason to. Doesn’t matter at all if I’m driving a slow semi or fast Lambo.
What people like you miss is that you should actually move to the right before someone comes up behind you. There is literally no value to staying in the left lane when not passing.
Nothing wrong with using the passing lane for passing and I never indicated as such. Everyone should drive at a speed comfortable to them…in the right lane, unless passing.
