2019-05-09 at 12:20 AM UTC in Denver just decriminalized Magic Mushrooms.Don't be fooled, though. Just because these useless clowns legalize a natural plant doesn't necessarily mean you will get to enjoy it. They have ways. Lots of them. For example, what they do is make it legal to possess it, but if you either purchase or obtain it from anywhere else but an "authorized source", you get fined up to thousands of dollars, either buying it or selling it. They set up a scam where only licensed government-approved dealers can distribute, or face jail time and/or fines. And the "authorized suppliers" themselves are subjected to intense harassment and red tape and micromanaging in every way imaginable, with the government milking them all for huge bucks every step of the way. The government makes billions of dollars in taxes, regulatory fees, building permit fees, inspection fees, and a dozen other cash-grab scams. That's how it works today. Nothing good comes easy anymore. Nothing. You'd be better off to just ignore the law, ignore the government, and carry on as normal. As you normally would. These clowns aren't here to help, they're here to hurt, and enrich themselves at your expense in the process.

2019-05-09 at 12:09 AM UTC in Internet browsers, are they selling off?Pale Moon Web Browser (2018)
Pale Moon is an open-source web browser with an emphasis on customizability; its motto is "Your browser, Your way". There are official releases for Microsoft Windows and Linux, an unofficial build for macOS, and contributed builds for various platforms. Pale Moon is a fork of Firefox with substantial divergence. The main differences are the user interface, add-on support, and running in single-process mode. Pale Moon retains the highly customizable user interface of the Firefox version 4–28 era. It also continues to support some types of add-ons that are no longer supported by Firefox.

What other hidden gems could there be in the call center industry?

2019-05-08 at 8:53 PM UTC in Internet browsers, are they selling off?But what the thieves are trying to say is that they are only selling you the medium outright, not the content that's on it. They claim the content on the media is propriety and was never for sale outright, just licenced.

Originally posted by DietYellow Can you actually legally "arrest" people? Like, doesn't the person have the right to not go with you? Or is it different in canada?
Yeah, LP makes arrests. The shoplifter has the right to remain at the spot they are arrested until the cops arrive, or they can agree to come back into the store. If you don't fight back and ask to remain on the spot and LP forces you upstairs anyways, they can be successfully sued, maybe even criminally charged. Most LP are way too stupid to know that, though. -

2019-05-08 at 6:11 PM UTC in don't try stealing from walmartHad to take a 400-pound shoplifter down once. Wasn't easy. The big old slob walks in, all 400 pounds of him, looked to be a Gypsie, walks over to the cameras department, pockets about 10 of the Polaroid instant film packs and heads directly for the exit. As soon as he was out, I walked up beside him and flashed my badge and told him he was under arrest for shoplifting. He just smiled this huge grin and told me, no, I wasn't going to arrest him, that he was leaving, then he started to walk away. I grabbed one of his arms in a lock, it was like a tree trunk, and he basically just started dragging me. So I stuck a foot out and half tripped him down to one knee, then I put him in a headlock and told a passerby to call the cops. Well, didn't he lift me right up off the ground, while I have him in the headlock, so I released his neck and stuck my leg between his legs and tried to knock him over, but he was too heavy to budge. So I locked one of his arms again and he started dragging me again. As he dragged me forward toward a phone booth, which just happened to be just ahead, I released his arm, and timing it perfectly, I bashed his body with my shoulder right into the phone booth, so he was basically stuck inside and could hardly move in there. He tried to bully his way out, but I locked each of my hands on each side of the frame of the booth's door and used my body to block him and push him back in. After about a full five minutes of this desperately trying to get out of the phone booth, he finally said he gave up, so I let him out, at which point he tried to flee again, so I tackled him at the legs and managed to get him down and did my best to pin him to the sidewalk. Then he gave up again and promised he would come back into the store. As we were walking back to the entrance, with him breathing in huge gulps of air, he says "Wow. You're pretty tough! Nobody else has been able to get me in!", then he gives me this big smile, like it's all just a game. Ended up he was a career shoplifter with multiple outstanding warrants for shoplifting.

If he keeps flooding, then you can just ban again, that's no skin off your ass, but I already know he won't. -

This one time I saw a new employee working on the floor. A kid of about 19. I noticed he would always arrive very early, well ahead of everyone else. I asked around a bit and found out he was the nephew of the store's merchandising manager. The next morning, I arrived before he did and manned a view-port near the front of the store and waited. He came in about half an hour later and walked by the checkout lane toward the staff room, and as he was walking by, he deftly and smoothly reached out and grabbed a handful of Upper Deck Baseball cards off the peg at one of the cashes and kept walking, all without stopping or even hesitating. Smooth operator, for sure. Even through the binoculars, it was hard to catch. I went down to the floor and walked over to the staff room and ascended the stairs, and just as I got halfway up, he was coming down again. Just as he passed me on the stairs, I pressed my shoulder against his body slightly and squeezed him up against the wall and told him I'll need the cards back. They weren't in his hands. He said he didn't know what I was talking about, and tried to keep walking, but I pressed him a little harder with my shoulder and said he wasn't going anywhere and that he was now under arrest for theft. I brought him to my office and asked him to empty his pockets, and he then admitted everything and pulled out the wrappers from the cards - he had already tore the wrappers off and stuffed them in his pocket, and he had the actual cards in his other pocket. He admitted he had been on his way to the bathroom to flush the wrappers down the toilet. I called the merchandising manager and he eventually came to my office, and the kid admitted everything in front of him. The store decided not to lay charges or have me call in the cops, so he got off pretty lucky with just a firing. -

All LP have quotas. If you don't meet your quotas, you get fired. Some days I would get 6-8 arrests in. That's not even counting the attempted shoplifting cases I've processed, which is in the hundreds. A lot of people think LP can't get you unless you leave the store with the merch. Not true. Let's say you pick up a compact disk and rip off all the plastic and tear the CD out of its packaging and stuff it down your pants. Then you see LP is following you, so you throw the CD into a random merchandise rack and walk out. That's attempted theft and you will be absolutely arrested and charged as such. -
