    Someone who does not appreciate those who steal from exploitative global corporations, is not someone worth knowing.

          We are the poor.

          Yes, there are poorer people out there, but I think we all kinda forget how big the divide is. It lets us put ourselves in a place where we feel like we’re doing well comparatively, but I think it’s important that we remember that we’re all being taken advantage of and we all deserve better. Yeah, definitely some will need a bit more uplifting than others, but it’s Us vs. Them, and I think we spend too much time trying to further sub-divide that ‘Us’. Thank you for attending my crazy segue.

          We’re all poor enough to deserve those free nugs though.

      Maybe not something you show off on the first date. Got to lay down the Marxist theory first.

      I can appreciate those who steal from corporations but I sure as hell don’t want to implicate myself by being with them when they do it lol

      A guy I hung out with in college told me about all the ATMs he stole and asked if I wanted to go with him next time… I said maybe another time and then never spoke to him again. I didn’t want to be associated with him when he eventually got busted…which he did…

        I don’t know the details of these nuggets, but I’m guessing they used multiple sessions to use a coupon code multiple times or something of the sort. More just exploiting a poorly set up system than theft.

        Stealing ATMs is significantly different and definitely more illegal in my mind.

      The entire reason the McDonald’s app exists is so McDonald’s can have variable prices to rip you off based on what they learn about your habits.

      I hardly classify using their services in unintended ways as “stealing”.

        If tech went down for six months, they’d offer you a discount for hopping on one leg while rubbing your stomach and patting your head.

        Besides data collection, the main purpose is to get more money out of people willing to pay more without missing out on people who won’t pay that much.

        It’s tiered pricing where they’re fine with you selecting a tier, as long as they steer enough to the higher one l.
