I believe that it isn’t shoplifting until they pass a certain point. Like “intent to leave” or something along those lines. I’ve put items in my pockets and taken them out at the register before.

No, but as with all things, they are about money. The policy is not in place to protect the employees. It’s there for their insurance company’s benefit. If there was no policy and the employee is hurt or killed the family can sue the employer and the insurance company will have to pay. Therefore they require the policy from the company. It has nothing to do with standing your ground or principle.

Those wooden shoes have thick soles and add a few inches.

Yeah but unprotected sex is awesome.

The classic Garfield plush from the 80s has solid plastic eyes. If you held it by the feet you could whip it just right to make them connect solidly with your brother’s cranium and cause severe pain. Precious memories.

Damn. I did the same thing.

I use my phone on a basically constant basis so investing in it makes sense. On the other hand I have found that a $250 Windows machine from Walmart has sufficient resources to perform the duties I need it to which include application and database development. For general use of web, email, and documents I use a Chromebook which are in the $200-$300 range as well.

Sizzling comeback.

I fit this meme perfectly. AMA.

The problem with requiring vaccinations or punishing for not getting them is that there are actual cases of vaccine injuries and they aren’t a one in a million thing, they are just statistically worth the risk. Parents should get an individual choice, without direct legal repercussions, regarding whether to vaccinate their kids. That being said, I think the idea of not allowing some services to unvaxxed kids to be perfectly reasonable.

$399 on Amazon if anyone else is wondering.

She wasn’t the only one who ate it... (The Who theme song blares)

Excellent attitude. I wonder why many men feel alimony is unfair.

That is an excellent assessment. I think should take it one step further and examine why consent is seemingly more important to women than men. I believe it is in large part that we, as a society, teach women that their virtue is something to be protected and allowing it to be impugned too easily lowers their worth as a person. We do not encourage women to seek the same rich sex life as we do men. A woman who decides to have sex and then regrets it has a hard time just brushing it off as a minor mistake because it can damage her self-image.
Of course, this doesn’t apply to the aggravated assault situations or being drugged unknowingly, more the “buyer’s remorse” scenario.
