Peating in poverty

No problemo.

I couldn't tell in your comment if you meant gradually lessening the crime of petty theft or not.
I did (in haste, apologies). As behavioural psychology would suggest a man armoured against recourse, physically or on paper, is liable to engage in petty theft. From a shop floor to a high rise. Tit for tat.
However I'm not using systemics to absolve anyone. Just thinking ahead.
Personally I think the Amish know exactly what's going on here. Which might assist them in remaining untouchable. Love em.

@ThinPicking hah deal. Thanks

You are neither intelligent nor entertaining enough to be writing more than a single sentence, and even that is stretching it. You'rea carbon copy of every guy on the internet nowadays, so you do not even have originality on your side. The fact that you're a chicken really does not have to be repeated in paragraphs of cope, everyone reading gets it.

shoplifting is le based actually.

@CO3
I’ll recommence this conversation in person. I’m in DFW, Texas. Let me know when you’re here. -
@LetTheRedeemed It's nice that you want to make new friends but recall that threats of violence are against the rules, and it's easy to read between the lines here. I'm not taking moderation action but suggest you desist, as even if you're not serious, chest-thumping is unneeded derailment. Don't let him get to you, it's not worth your effort or time.

@NotShanalotte I guess I could see how it could be interpreted that way, but to the contrary, I just have a belief that sincere conversations should be in person, and that usually dispels the fear of another to the point you’d wish to attack with ad hominems or impatient arguing.
whether the other guy is trolling or sincere, personal conversations have resolved the situation for me…But, Thanks for the heads up, sometimes I forget that not everyone is a Texan yet
-
@LetTheRedeemed Hey, no big deal. As a mod I have to be as impartial as possible, it's just how it is. Heck, I didn't even know you're a Texan and I don't really disagree with your point now that you've said it.
Perhaps you could add a bit of Texan when you make such a reply? I have a lot of family in Wisconsin, and they can be polite to a fault, so something they might say in person would be "Hey, invite that guy to the cookout" indicating both hospitality but also that if someone would try to say something, they'd look like a major jackass. It would make your intention clear and might be a bit of fun too.
Thanks for a good response!
-
@NotShanalotte haha noted!
Doing a great job btw.
-
@LetTheRedeemed Thanks for the kind words! This is probably the first forum I'm actually happy to moderate, but it's still been awhile since I last moderated a forum so you've given me a nice boost.

Fun idea: small game are traditional food sources for virtually all hunter gatherer societies. Get a sling shot and hunt whatever birds / rabbits are around you. You can clean off the feathers and fur in no time with a scalding water plunge and dowse in wax to then peal off… cut out the stomach/intestines and bladder, then throw the whole thing in an oven with potatoes/milk/whatever you can find. lol this would be awesome!
I'd expect synanthropic animals to be quite high in PUFA. Where I live pigeons seem to get fatter, dumber and less capable of flight every year.
-
@DonkeyDude haha word.
Maybe just bunnies…

Lol at this thread. It validates every prejudice I have against poor people. They are usually inferior and unable to gain a skill and live productive caring lives. Also, Germans should never attempt humor.
Another thing a poor person can do is to have a higher-fat diet. If you can get 30% of your calories from coconut oil, then you will be able to save quite a bit of money.
Put yourself on fire for peak energy metabolism.
Ignore, judge, overcommit.

you're uncool
i dont mean that as an insult
but you're just not cool. you're cringe. you will probably think im attacking you or something. but when you are out and about and you see a guy with friends who is well liked and handsome and at ease, you might think to yourself how he got like that. it's because he doesn't think and behave like you. you might be "good looking" but I am 100% positive you aren't handsome. you are "rich" but you aren't elite. you're a pleb with money. -
@LetTheRedeemed the amish and mennonites and farmers would probably feed someone who asked. try asking the store manager of the corporate grocery store to front you a sandwich until you get paid the next day and let me know how it goes.
im an ardent hyper-capitalist and even i know know stealing food is morally ok in corporate society. i presume we are talking about getting food from aldi's here and not the local amish. if the local council bans backyard chickens or would prosecute you for having a milking cow, then stealing from the grocery store is even more acceptable.

The world is becoming ever more capitalistic and uncertain.
In a few ways I appreciate your exhibitions Norway. However.

You're advised against projection in scripture for a reason. Introspect to arrest or go broke. And stick around, wealth for another can be made of either.

The real question here is: Why aren't your parents working over the summer if they are broke?
-
@Kilgore They are poor because they deserve to be poor. They live in a free market and complain about the lack of handouts. Almost all poor people are the same.
-
@Norwegian-Mugabe you’re Norwegian, right? Hasn’t Norway had a universal basic income for several generations now? Do you think that could skew your perception of how hard it can be to overcome the psychological obstacles adjacent to poverty?
I have family from the “great generation” who worked harder than anyone I know, would never take a handout, and some climbed ladders out of the hard labor industries into prestigious office and institution, some worked hard their whole life participating in construction of iconic parts of America, but died in relative poverty only because they only understood hard work, and not the principles of management and multiplication. All good church going family people.
I understand choice and consequence, but I think charitably to the psychological state of people in a cycle of poverty, to be good and beneficial to the bearer and recipient.
