  • That's why they also spread the myth of fentanyl overdoses by incidental contact. They see an unknown substance, have a panic attack, and assume they're OD'ing.

    Ask any paramedic... you really can't OD from incidental skin contact with fentanyl.

  • I understand how you feel, but reading your story, I think when you were grabbing the product and telling him to "just drop it an leave" is what ended your career.

    It sucks, you got attacked, but you don't need to trade your personal safety for some store product.

    Just based on this story here, where you are giving a very one sided view of the situation, you intentionally put yourself at risk and kept escalating. I hate that a criminal put you in a situation where you ended up getting fired, but there was more than one mistake here.

  • It's an interesting story anyway, kind of fun how the early days of the internet people just decided to build stuff and that random little tool from decades ago continue to be the backbone of much of the world. Imagine if all that stuff was proprietary...

  • The intent of the proverb isn't that bad people don't get good things, it's that a person who is cheating doesn't get value out of the activity.

    If you go through life cutting corners, you don't actually get to learn and build a strong foundation.

    You can still be rewarded with jobs, money, and sycophants, but that's not what really matters.

  • You mean the USPS that can send a letter to anyone in the US, no matter how remote, for less than $1.

    The USPS that has had its funding messed with for decades by Republicans trying to make private shipping the only option?

    The USPS that is guaranteed by the Constitution to exist and provide services?

    ...

    Yeah, let's ditch this amazing service that provides stable union jobs everywhere in the US, and just let private industry take over, that works so well every other time we've done it.

  • It's a very visible thing when people do it. It's not common where I'm from, but if 1,000 other people go to a store, then just one person leaving a cart in an awkward place pisses off 999 others.

    It doesn't take much to make it seem like a lot of people are being inconsiderate, when it's much more likely that a small minority of people have a very wide reaching emotional impact.
