Thread: Saw a grocery thief get caught this morning

Went to the grocery store this morning. On my way out, I saw one of the store’s security guys had stopped a woman from leaving without paying. Her cart was about half full. She was “negotiating” with the security guy. She looked like she hadn’t eaten in a few days. She wasn’t exactly shabby, but she could’ve passed for homeless, or at least not earning enough to meet her needs. So, I started wondering:

1) How many men in her life did she toss overboard because they weren’t Chaddy enough, or rich enough, or handsome enough?

2) Was she divorced, and if so, what were her reasons?

3) How did she vote in the last election?

4) How much useless crap has she bought in her life (fancy shoes, useless decorations, jewelry, manicures, clothes that went out of style the following year, home remodeling only for appearances and not for functionality, trendy cars that are known to be unreliable, and so on)? How much of that could've been invested so she'd be ok now?

In other words, none of the reasons I envisioned had any basis in her being a victim of circumstances. They all had a common trait: self-inflicted misery.

For better or worse, this is how you think when you’re redpilled and you’ve gyow.

If she's broke to the point she can't afford to buy food, then why didn't she apply for food stamps (SNAP)? It sounds like she's dumb with money.

She sold hers already, like as not.

Underground comic artist Gilbert Sheldon had Wonder Wart Hog try food stamps once. The hog of steel goes "these taste just like paper."

I used to feel bad when I saw homeless people. One asked me for money once, I bought him a couple of slices of pizza, I did it as a lesson to myself as I knew what would happen next - he couldn't just graciously accept it, he had to try and push for money again anyway. I knew why he wanted money.

Then they started becoming more frequent, they started to beg, sometimes aggressively. I would over hear the conversations they would have. Talking about drugs, using the needle exchange and injecting rooms (yes the State I live in actually set up an injecting room for junkies).

I live in Australia, we have so many safety nets for people, it is most likely different in the USA. But down here, I realized you actually have to make some huge mistakes over and over to end up on the streets. For some it would be a choice. They just want their drugs and they want handouts.

Know exactly what you're talking about, looks like we're located in the same state

I've had to stop giving out so many handouts to homeless people here; I used to feel pretty bad about their situation but realising how disturbed they were and how they'd keep asking for more and more, I gave up. It's a useless battle unfortunately.

One time I was asked for a cigarette by both a homeless man and woman. I didn't have any on me. The guy said "Understandable have a nice day" while the woman didn't believe me and kept yelling at me, calling me a liar and followed me down a block. Absolute insanity; how do you even manage to get to that point as a woman??

Easy to answer that question: as a female, people tell you from the day you are born how special and entitled you are. Eventually, you believe it because why not? No ever tells you, or is allowed to tell you otherwise. Then one day, you try to bum a cigarette, and the truth suddenly appears and tells you that, in fact, you are not entitled to other people's property and that you will not be receiving it.

I red pilled early in life and have been that voice of reality for many women over the years. It's like throwing holy water on a vampire. You have to make your escape before the shock wears off and the rage sets in.

I have also tried many times to answer those demands with attempts to carefully educate and explain how they might make smarter decisions so as not to need to parasitize me, or other men, for those things they wanted. What I learned from those attempts was that they wanted the cake. They did NOT want the recipe.

Guessing this was not in California. Anything less than $950 is not a felony, and effectively not enforced. Shoplifting is being practically encouraged in some areas.

Not to be out-done, our President is sending money to NGOs that distribute crack pipes, needles, and other "safe" drug use tools to addicts in the name of AIDS prevention.

Up until they hit the wall (and then some time afterward) women live life on "easy mode."

I live in a relatively clean, well-ordered town. I don't bother going to the city anymore. Beggars. Beggars everywhere. Shit, is this Calcutta?

Is it the one that starts with a V?

It is a useless battle. There seems to be more than ever now and the capital Melbourne is a dump now. Construction sites everywhere and most of the more interesting older buildings torn down. All because Dan Andrews sucked up to China. Well, first CoVid now the Ukraine war. Great side to choose Dan!

There is one woman who hangs around Melbourne who will just repeat ad nauseum "Got spare change?" They are feral. I enjoy walking past them without acknowledging they exist. They have made me that cold.

Down here it was found the nurses that work in these places were selling heroin in the clinics lol. Crime has gone up in the area as well which is exactly what they argued wouldn't happen!

Yeah I feel the same. I have to go to the city for work but it is a shit hole. Went to the grocery store in the city a little while back and a homeless guy was sitting outside having a piss. At 5pm, he wasn't standing or anything. Just sitting there, pants still on pissing letting it run down the footpath into the gutter.

And they say the old days were worse than now.

That's the one, AKA the feminist shit-hole of the country If any city in the world contained women that would push you to go MGTOW, it's this one!

It's sad how far the city has fallen, it's a proper wasteland that I don't think will ever recover post-COVID. Ironically, COVID did me a massive favour; it took me being alone in my apartment throughout the longest lockdown in the world, working from home, to realise how golden the silence was. I came across MGTOW during that time! Nowadays I barely go out, just keep WFH, stacking money and chilling out with my hobbies. I don't see myself ever participating in the nightlife of the city I used to love so much.

Women waste so much money it isn't funny. Just having a house clean out at the moment and my mother took all her mothers stuff when she died. My aunt had bought thousands of dollars in clothing for my grandmother, most had never been worn. We ended up giving about 5ks worth of jeans to the local OP shop.

The waste is just insane.

Lately, I've been wondering about Early Onset Epiphany Phase.

My cousin is about to turn 22. But she's made it pretty clear to the family that she wants to get married SOON. She's been seeing some guy who, I'm guessing, is 25 or 26. From the looks of things, he's just getting settled into his career and isn't making the bucks yet. Still, it seems clear to me that he's the guy she wants.

In other words, it SEEMS like she's doing things more or less right.

And I wonder if part of her motivation for all this is how she's spent the last ten years watching her aunts, female cousins, older sisters and other female family members as well as female friends systematically fuck their own lives up with lousy decisions that come back to haunt them almost immediately. Almost all of them are hopeless and without options now. On top of that, she's watched the men in her life accumulate greater and greater wealth as time goes by.

She even said to me a few months ago something like "A woman's looks start to fade when she turns 30 so I want to get married early because I have some good prospects right now and they probably won't still be here in five years".

Now, women are flighty by nature, as you know. But my cousin has been talking about marrying this guy for over a year now. It's making me wonder if all the bad examples in her life are having a positive effect on her.

Then again, she could become just another broke and hopeless single mom in ten years. So, who knows? Still, she just isn't exhibiting the characteristics you associate with the hoe phase. And it makes me wonder if she's experiencing Early Onset Epiphany Phase.

I used to work in a computer store. One day some lady brazenly walked out of the store with a brand-new printer still in its box under her arm. So my manager went after her and told her she wasn't allowed to simply take a printer out of the store. She was a black lady, so you can probably guess what happened next. She accused my manager of racism. He said he didn't have anything against her race (a true statement); she just wasn't allowed to steal a printer. She said his use of the word "steal" was racist, as it supposedly stereotyped people.

I mean SHEESH! I would never for an instant claim there isn't any racism in America. There clearly is. But she was walking out of the store with merchandise, for crying out loud. My boss did get the printer back. He didn't prosecute her, unfortunately.

My boss was the nicest guy you'll ever meet. He didn't have an ounce of racism in him. Sometimes there's real racism in America. But sometimes some losers use racism as an excuse.

What's she gonna do when the guy gets cold feet and decides to warm them up by running?

The word's out among men that marriage is a painful soul crushing reality when he's legally bound by the whips and chains of marriage law.

Men are not stupid anymore, divorce is all around and stains every generation now. We have established history of female empowerment and all the changes that happened since it began.

From his point of view it's run or get rammed!

From her point of view it's lock him down so he can't run without loosing a hand and foot when he gnaws them off and leaves them with the chains and cuffs that once bound him.

We now know that modern marriage law is the same as willingly placing your head in a beartrap! The right decision is a no brainer when a man finally wakes up!

That shit wouldn't happen in Tehran, judging by her demeanor, she wouldn't have hands to pick it up!

Sounds like the logical side of her is in gear. Unfortunately, many women allow that side of themselves to be overridden by their own tendencies to destabilize what's working well for them. The question is, and always will be, can she keep them at bay. Sixty or so years is a long time to fight that internal battle.

True, but I still would not want to follow Iran's model. That's too extreme. I do wish my boss had prosecuted the bitch. I would also like to see no one support some asshole who's using racism as an excuse to do shitty behavior. That lady wasn't trying to right any racial injustices. She was just trying to steal a printer.

In an attempt to be diplomatic, I shall say only that there are a great many racial issues that most Americans are not ready to discuss.
