Target theft, for when you really need a loofa.

I remember back in the day there was a huge community of big box store thieves on tumblr. They'd post their "hauls" and once they were sniffed out they all started adding to their tumblr page that this was "totally roleplay fantasy guys".

Oh wise Tiktok browser, have they moved on to Tiktok perhaps?

Indeed they have! It's under "lifting", "borrowing", and "racking".

>Find Goosebuds podcast by accident
>Few minutes in they ended up going on a political rant about fat shaming and children's entertainment should never be mean spirited, like Salute your shorts and the slappy episode of the 90s goosebumps show.
>Random rants about capitalists are evil while being obsessed with goosebumps merchandise and 90s consumerism
>They call the term NPC an alt-right racial slur in the chiliogy episode of the goosebuds podcast.
>Randomly go on defunding the police rants between talking about early 90s television shows
>Childless adult men in their 30s crying, bad guys in 90s kids shows using slavery as a threat
>They call Salute your shorts homophobic because they think a child actor with a speech impediment is making fun of the gay stereotype accent
>Cries about Salute your shorts having alt-right themes because it has fat and fart jokes
>Gets mad that kids in salute your shorts characters enjoy getting payback back on the bully character
>They call salute your shorts a bad show because it was just written for kids instead of adults like them like modern cartoons on Cartoon Network and Disney channel
>The only funny part of the podcast was one of the podcast members describing eating a $15.99 hot dog during a con an religious experience because he was starving all day
>They all think being hungry during a con counts as working class suffering

What the hell up with communists running consumerism podcasts? I noticed communism online when they were not obsessed with Disney. They were always obsessed with early 90s child horror and power rangers. Especially the green ranger.

Imagine growing up and becoming Donkeylips, and being butthurt about it.

Adults who watched this show when it was new have had every day for 20 years to turn their fucking lives around. These guys probably laughed at Donkeylips when they were kids, then they grew up and became even grosser.

It's possible that all three grew up as ugly fat kids like Moviebob, but I kind of doubt it. That's the baffling thing about generation soy, most of these people grew up normal-ish and did this shit to themselves. Grown adults weren't turning themselves into fat ugly clowns obsessed with children's media and communism 20 years ago.

They're stealing all this shit only to resell it to other Consoomers. Fucking mental. Or they just keep the shit they got from dollar general. We've gone too far. Dollar stores are for cheap candy to sneak into theaters and exclusive Mtn Dew flavors, anything else is heracy. Don't they realize these places have CCTV?

See that last video, "easy stores"? It's shit like that. Sometimes the cameras are even fake.
Chain stores, though, are rolling out AI-assisted image recognition (similar tech to how Amazon Go works) but they only use it for loss prevention. Theoretically, we do have the ability at this point in time to require a credit card to enter stores, and then track who takes what, and automatically charge them when they walk out.
Anything with self-checkout, etc. is more a matter of "consent theater" and preventing retards from getting scared and angry.

I mean you could... if you want to go full China. That solves the symptoms not the cause. It doesn't change the nature of people wanting to go full wigger.

I've had some very interesting jobs over the course of my life, one of which made people comfortable enough to tell me their secrets. Claire's cameras in all of their stores are fake. It's just an empty dome. If any camera tends to work in these cheapo places, it's the one above the register.

That's pretty crazy when it's dirt cheap to setup and manage a local ip cam nvr station now.

I think considering the actual cost of their merchandise they just don't care. It's why you usually don't see cameras in dollar stores either.
 

The fuck is "Italian Resin"?



Spicy mayo.




Well, guys, what's your favorite micro-luxury?

I think it's because children's media got ever better at hooking kids in and amping up the consoomerism in the 80s. Star Wars is the best example since it was promoted as a cultural phenomena and the toyline was absolutely huge and became the template for how to market a movie or TV show. Video games have to be related too since society could never quite determine if they were for kids or not. I mean every bar had arcade machines since Pong came out, and boomers like my dad bought an NES because his favorite golfer had a game on it, but they'd always be marketing to kids.

There was some level of mainstreaming too compared to antecedents like the old "Science Fiction Fandom." In addition to being full of pedophiles like Walter Breen or Samuel Delaney, it was full of absolute lunatics and hippie burnouts obsessed with Star Trek who you could classify as proto-manchildren. There were always lots of fat people and people who smelled terrible. But that fandom was too fucking weird for anyone vaguely normal and was into gatekeeping itself, so nobody read all those bad commie-flavored science fiction books from the 70s that are usually anti-capitalist and full of "free love" and other weird shit.

I'd consider it very optimistic to say that stores will only be using ai assisted recording for "loss prevention" if it can be sold it will. Amazon's gotta be using their amazon go stores for that just as they do with their own sites.

I read this article a few months ago and thought it was interesting. Archived version
This part in particular troubles me: "This is also why when you watch old cartoons like this you may notice they always refer to each other by their full name and refer to the vehicle by its specific description.
It wouldn’t be “Hey man, jump in the helicopter”, it would be “hey Duke, jump in the Dragonfly Helicopter.”

Kids needed to know the exact name of the product they would now be dying to have. This made it a lot easier when searching for it in a store or writing out wish lists for Christmas and birthdays. The holiday season, unsurprisingly, was when episodes were chock full of new vehicles and characters."
(Sorry if the mobile formatting is bothersome.)
 
you guys know the phenomena of kids, or mentally handicappd people (see: Chris chan) advertising things or speaking in an advertisement-esque tone when talking, because theyre not fully cognitive of the fact that theyre being advertised to and have subconciously picked it up and think thats how people communicate?
i wonder if weve gotten to the point where this is happening to normalfags

Definitely interesting. But I wouldn't exclusively blame Saint Ronnie Raygun. The McDonalds Happy Meal for instance came out in 1979, and within months was used to promote licensed products (the first licensed Happy Meal toy line was for Star Trek: The Motion Picture). That was pretty innovative, since it was blending food and mass media in an attempt to both get you hooked on the product AND get you hooked on McDonalds. Advertising in general was getting more and more innovative in that era.

Yeah, I think they just mean the specific bits they mentioned about TV regulations.
