Seems like a double standard for Xbox to be mocked for branding a handheld when Nintendo does this repeatedly. What’s the difference?

This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites.

They found a phone farm.

Anecdotal evidence based on past witch hunts by the right like gay panic, adultery/porn problems - panic based mobs are haunted by the people they hunt.

All schooling? Sounds like Steve Bannon wants to ban home schooling and wants to make Sunday school illegal.

If you’re going to dismiss the criticism of BL3 or the Presequel then yeah, it makes you don’t get the hate.

Well yeah, the hand written but at the bottom says “Asbestos magazine” like there was an audience who just couldn’t get enough asbestos gossip and trends. Or asbestos crafting ideas for kids. Maybe some pithy editor who highlights asbestos fan letters with ideas for using asbestos for work and leisure.

It’s like satire but it’s unironically on the nose so it screams propaganda.

Innocent children will die to trigger happy drone cops. It’s going to be a remote controlled Uvalde.

The French are so insistent on using poetry for a language that they when slang is available they still dress it up. Pride cometh before the fall - just accept the limitations of French and welcome the oncoming ad hoc global language.

Adult games give emotional support these days. Not all, but many understand and respect the player to a degree not normally found in games. And because all the right wing puritans aren’t playing those games, no one is complaining about other hot button topics like gender, equality, etc.

They seem used to current gigabyte memory values without knowing historically RAM was Kb and, in the 70s, it wasn’t cheap.

I understand the option to prosecute the guy but what isn’t talked about is if Meijer tried to work with him and gave him second/third/etc chance by saying “hey, we saw. Let’s figure out what’s happening”

I literally worked with a manager in grocery who did this with people and got mixed results but he still tried. 3 people turned around out of a dozen or so who eventually quit. There was one guy, I’ll call him Ryan, who would eat yogurt and huff whip cream gas whenever he got the chance. After 6 months of hell he was finally hauled off after being found passed out in the dairy case. Probably from the whipped cream.

I was a bagger and so was Ryan. I had to work twice as much for those 6 months because he was so bad as an employee.

Lemmy doesn’t see the second chances. They only get the end result. And folks sure are excited to shit on someone when they are swayed by clearly biased writing. I don’t like corporations as much as y’all but the company didn’t make the guy steal. It wasn’t entrapment. They solved a problem. What steps did they take before the police? No idea. But the article also manipulated folks into thinking he was special needs when it was just a guess by the author. It’s fucking lunacy that someone can ask a question about any missing details not provided by the article and have so many down votes based on believing the propaganda.

I worked in grocery and had a manager who actually hired at-risk and untrustworthy people because he believed in second chances. I saw 3 people get caught red handed and then coached back to being reliable and professional this way. Actual humanity means taking time with people - which I thought might be happening here. But nope, fuck me for asking questions.

I was hopeful that folks were kind. I didn’t even need to read the article to see how unkind people are to others. These comments are enough to kill hope.

Yeah, I’m a shill. Just like all the other shills who come in seeking clarification. Nice way to dog pile. Hope you get the comfort from the group that you clearly need.

The article author self diagnosed the guy as special needs - it was an unsupported guess about the guy without evidence. Just looking at him and expecting a stereotype. I’m not here to assume and am taking the article details as provided.

Profiling based on appearance is wrong. All the details from the article are that the guy was stealing and then corporations are bad for not letting him go.

Yeah. I guess I am an idiot. I thought the store manager or one of the key holders was delaying any punishment because they were trying to give the guy a second chance or some kind of opportunity to avoid repeat offending. Second chances look a lot like this.

But yeah, I’m an idiot for being hopeful someone should act immediately and just fire him.

He stole food over a period of months. I’m not sure the company was in the wrong here since they had a person stealing from them. And they waited months for it to stop before arresting him since he clearly wasn’t able to stop himself and it wasn’t an isolated incident. What did the thief do to earn redemption?

Linux treats users like a person and Windows treats users like children. Be the person Linux trusts you to be.

Another day in the orphan crushing machine. “They’re putting ads in our hair! They’re putting ads in the water to make the friggin frogs pay.”

It’s the moment Sears let Amazon take the lead on mail order shopping just because Sears didn’t understand how the internet and shopping could work together.
