    It’s weird how in some places the police is the one with a criminal’s mindset.

          You can get around paywalls trivially by going to archive.org and plugging the link into their search bar.

          I’m not going to do it for you because it’s an Internet survival skill everyone should learn 😆

        He does have a point tho. If you post stuff like this, post a link, not a screenshot. That’s just a shitty thing to do.

          Always generates more outage if people assume it just happened… that’s why the clickbait websites usually don’t put dates on their “articles”

    This post got kinda popular and so probably lots of folks that are not subscribed will see it. Please follow the rules pointed out in the sidebar, especially:

    • do not derail discussions with your concerns about morality or ethics

    You can always use the pinned post Why a(nother) shoplifting community to talk about why you think stealing is wrong.

    Isn’t that entrapment? Isn’t that illegal?
