Becasue for all we know that’s the only food him and his family are going to eat today. If it was a bunch of kids stealing a TV and having a big laugh, then yeah, fuck that, but you don’t know what’s happening. I don’t imagine anybody’s stealing food for the thrill of it these days.

I bet lots of it was getting chucked at end of the day anyway
I don’t think i’d say anything if I saw someone stealing food unless it was from some family run butchers or something.
Hard times now and hard times ahead.
I’ll let it go. I don’t know his backstory etc.
It does depend though. Single parent stealing nappies and some bread, let it go. Dude stealing a bottle of whisky and some fancy biscuits, that’s different.
Also, depends if they’re lifting from the family run corner shop who will have to pay for the missing stock, or from Asda.
I used to live by a Tesco that kept their 2 can dine for £10 meals right by the door. I saw someone lean in from the street, grab a couple of bottles and walk away. Took them a couple months until they moved all of that stock away from the door.
We had a massive barny on here months ago about morals and stealing. I have a problem with people stealing just because it’s plain wrong and you can’t dress it up as anything else. That said, it does depend on who and the circumstance. If you just want something for free and don’t feel like you want to pay, then you’re a fucking scumbag. You can argue that some business’ are not effected etc blah blah, won’t get into it again… But, if someone is desperate and in these times there is going to be lots of people forced to do it, and they choose business’ that have contingencies for said crimes then I would turn a blind eye. It all does depend though.
And no, lets not bring it all up again.

This is how I feel.
I have sympathy and can forgive anyone who can’t afford food or clothes.
I also sympathise with drug addicts who have to steal to feed their habits.
Doesn’t make it right but what choice do they have.
I just accidentally liked a photo from 2015 on the instagram profile of a work colleagues friend, after mindlessly going down a social media rabbit hole. I was lying on my side and the phone slipped.
It was the second photo they ever posted.
Even worse, it was a bikini photo

But if the person has already seen the notification, and then sees that it’s been unliked, he’ll look even weirder.
Best bet is to change your profile to that of an ‘upcoming streetwear brand’, fill your feed with photos of your mate and his sister wearing badly-shaped t-shirts with your heat-transferred logo on them, and like and follow a load of random crap. Post ‘You have amazing style! DM us for opportunity!’ on one of her other photos.

I think you should just start a relationship with her. And hope in 10 years time she doesn’t look through your old post on here and realise it was all down to an accidental like.
I’m just off to Hollywood to pitch this idea for a new rom com.

Luckily I think if you unlike it straight away, the person gets a notification of a like, but there’s nothing there when they then check. I think…
Also I’d like to point out your honour, I wasn’t specifically looking at that specific photo. It was just purely coincidental
Yeah man, she’ll just think your hand slipped when you were wanking, it’s fine.

That’s good then, surely! Better that than wanting his own, or thinking it’s fine. Big up that man.
I had a little £12 Alcatel dumbphome from Tesco’s for the best part of a year. It was so great. It’s what got me into reading again. I’d still have it if I didn’t need a smartphone for work.
If I didn’t have to get email notifications when out due to working as a freelance translator I’d have one of those old school Nokia phones with no internet capability.
This morning has been the first one since lockdown that I got up and out for a run straightaway without spending an hour on my phone on insta and the news etc.
In fact I just came on here and will leave it at that. Have deleted insta again.
Feels good.
