Damn son. That's not how that works and not what I am talking about.

It's not the theft for need that is shutting these stores down. It's the theft rings that pay people pennies on the dollar to steal shit because that is easier than getting a real job. These goods are then resold on the "black market" or used to make drugs like meth.

You claim you did it to survive. I don't actually believe that you stole anything more than someones hat and you are definitely extremely naive to the world around you.

Did you grow up in a convent?

I said nothing about it being a job prospect.

Go touch some grass and learn how the world actually works, then get back to us.

That's not what dystopian means.

They also had to define what woke was in court. Nothing has changed. Nothing will change. They would happily join a cult and kill their first born if it meant owning the libs. It's really sad as well as a sign of the mental health and education issues in this country.

That's not what a dystopia is. It sounds like you need to read up on it a bit more.

At least two things are at play here.

  1. Personal shoppers but they steal instead of paying for it

  2. Items like tide detergent getting stolen and resold.

Who is downvoting this?

Certain items are being stolen to be resold. This isn't about someone stealing food to feed their kids or unable to afford tampons or pads. Name brand dish detergent and other stuff gets stolen and then resold as the "fell off a truck" at a discount. There are also people who steal on demand, basically personal shoppers but they don't pay for it.

I have no idea what the answer is but the comments here that say they hope everything is stolen from wmt, tgt, etc shows unfathomable ignorance as to what happens when stores close and not only do people lose their jobs, the area becomes a food desert if that was the only place to shop for those without reliable transportation.

Showrss.info as well.

That's not how that works. Torrent has been around for decades and none of that actually happens. None of that will ever happen and couldn't actually be enforced even if it did.

I'm not sure some of you here actually understand how this tech or the world at large actually functions. Plenty of files are shared p2p that aren't under copyright and it would be damn near impossible to limit people's ability to connect p2p with others without fundamentally changing how the entire internet is connected and functions.

I'd suggest you look up concepts like zero knowledge encryption. I'd also suggest you look at VPN providers that claim to not keep any logs at all along with proper encryption. I'd also suggest that you look into the number of jurisdictions around the world who don't give a flying fuck about the dmca.

Actually, no. Even if they trace it back to the provider, if said provider is running little to zero logs and proper encryption, there is no way for the provider to know who is doing the downloading of anything.

It's also not the movie/game companies doing anything. There are companies that monitor p2p for specific files for TV shows, movies, games, etc and then automatically send a boilerplate cease and desist to whoever owns any ip addresses for said files. Some isps like Google fiber (at one point) just ignored these requests and didn't pass it on to the end user. Every other isp including VPSs, seedboxes, etc will autoforward the dmca notice and if you rack up enough they will fire you as a customer.

I suggest you and others here check out proton, they have a ton of servers including ones that support p2p. They don't and can't tell who is transferring what. If you do a ton of downloading of pirated content, I'd also suggest setting up even a basic seedbox. The one I am currently using takes crypto and doesn't need any info aside from an email address. They will forward dmca notices and the auto delete the offending content after about 12 hours but if you restart the torrent you can download it again if needed and you can then let it seed for as long as you want.

Plus, if the VPN is setup right, they can't know exactly what you are downloading or what you are accessing.

It's a distraction to keep their followers from questioning their lack of actual governance. Once this fad of hate passes it will be another group.

You need to keep working on the "not being a tool" part, you haven't quite mastered that yet.
