These people have no legal right to check or detain you. Think about how this works - in theory, a customer has paid for their merchandise at the checkout before exiting the store, and therefore any attempt to actually detain you would be unlawful. You are walking out of a store with your items you paid for.

It is security theatre. I ignore them and walk past them every time, and they never do anything, because they know the legal ramifications of them stopping a legit customer are just plain not worth it.

ACAB, after all.

Can we maybe just not be shitty to people based on race, gender, sexual orientation (or lack thereof), condiment preferences, or any other involuntary category? I know it's a revolutionary idea, but hey, it's worth a shot.

Anarcho-communists are also a thing, and there's some around here.

Stealing from capitalist fucks isn't immoral. Being an abelist / fascist / sexist or an apologist for any of those is, in fact, immoral - and it also makes you an asshole.

I am Ziq.

The sheer amount of casual racism and dog-whistling I see in Discord/Riot chats that are for 'normal' subjects is ridiculous. These people are definitely trying to normalize their fucked up views - and when called out on it, they try and act like the person calling them out is a stick-in-the-mud seeking to stop them from 'having fun and joking around'.

I really want a way to punch people in the fucking face over the internet.

I'll wait to pirate it. Arrr.

Well, how about this?

In all honesty, this is why I tend towards Absurdism as a viewpoint. Either you accept that the universe makes no inherent sense, or you get overwhelmed trying to deal with it. Which isn't to say that we shouldn't try to make things better, but yeah.

Well, your reasoning does make sense, though I am skeptical of movements that seem to be anti-science in general. But questioning things, especially when they try to define what 'normal' is, does seem to be a good idea. We just have to be careful to not become dogmatic about it, I suppose.

I have upvoted you for downvoting me, lol.

Just be careful of the spurting if you ever pull it out.

I find the whole subject questionable at best. Ridiculous groups like Scientologists hate psychiatry, and they're bloody vapid useless pieces of crap. A movement that garners supporters like that doesn't exactly come across as at all sensible. What is the rational basis for being against psychiatry (as a medical discipline)?

Edit: Hey you. Yeah, the one downvoting without providing any actual response to the question / premise for your position. That only serves to indicate your lack of ability to justify your belief. Perhaps try to actually explain your position instead of just trying to bury someone questioning it. If it has any rational basis that shouldn't be too difficult. The revolution will not be started by someone stuffing their fingers in their ears and going 'LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING ME TO ACTUALLY SUPPORT MY POSITIONS'. ;)

Greeters cannot stop you from leaving the store. At the point of exit, you have (in theory) already paid for your merchandise, and it is yours, so forcibly detaining you would be unlawful. They're a form of security theatre. Just ignore them and walk past.

Because you're a troll.

Unless you signed for the package, they're just going to assume someone walked off with it. The delivery person won't get in any shit. The only way THAT happens is if lots of packages go 'missing' with the same delivery person, and then the delivery company will investigate, usually by planting tracked (like, lowjacked) passages or taking hidden camera video.

Your American-ism is showing.

You spelt 'extremist' incorrectly.

Maybe in the US. Where I live (Canada), it's far cheaper to eat vegan than carnivore. But sure, apply your American bias based on US gov't subsidies that don't exist everywhere. Way to be a narrow-minded nationalist.

And even so, I highly doubt vegan staples such as bulk beans and rice and other items like frozen or canned veg / farmer's market fresh veg / cost more than any sort of meat, even in the USA. I know I can go to a chain bulk store here that also exists in the US and stock up on dried legumes, TVP, nutritional yeast, baking goods, etc for far far cheaper than it costs for even the same items at a supermarket, let alone what beef/chicken/pork cost.

Many poor people (of which I am also one) eat poorly due to lack of knowledge on how to properly prepare and cook nutritious food. I lived for five years in a 'food desert' and saw many many people simply buying their "groceries" at a dollar store, primarily in the form of cheap frozen processed shit that was quite often animal-based - and their costs still came out ahead of mine from just taking an hour to go bulk store shopping on my bike and hitting a fresh market on the way home.

So yes, there are classist and predatory issues in regards to which type of stores are in the neighbourhoods of the poor in North America, but there is to a greater degree a need for education and available public transportation, since actual food costs for a vegan diet are always going to be cheaper unless you're living on highly processed vegan foods like Beyond Meat and Chao slices.

Most users I've seen from Raddle use webchat.weho.st, not matrix.org anyhow. It's actually the suggested server on https://raddle.me/wiki/chat

*sucks. ;)

Bedbugs. Those are about the only thing I support wholesale murder of, and I'm a vegan.

"Climate Change isn't real." Fuck you, the country I live in is literally melting, you unscientific oil-swilling shit.

I read through your wiki entry, and decided to try it out. I fired up Whonix, and used the Onion site with a protonmail account I created and they didn't ask for any ID or anything, just that I confirm a code they sent to my newly-made protonmail account. I've added a bunch of groups/etc, but we'll see if I get zucc'd. However for now, the Onionsite+a throwaway email seems to be functioning.
