Exactly, I steal already from big faceless corporations but not from the everyday man... I would continue the same modus operandi... Probably just do it more or to a higher level lol
Lol you actually steal? Like shoplifting? Do you get nervous when doing so? Curious how people aren't scared as hell when doing that stuff. Every time I see someone shoplift I'm like: damn, this person got the guts to steal!, but I don't work for the store so idgaf what others do. Shoplifter you say? I didn't see anything.
Hhahaha no not that type of stealing.......I don't do anything big time
So like this !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com?
Piracy isn't stealing btw.
I won't be the dumb thief who details his actions on the internet, but I wasn't talking about piracy, and as I said not shoplifting or breaking and entering or anything like that...but it's from big entities who don't even notice it happened and the proceeds go to the needy ๐
Ahh, robin hood style of embezzelment. ๐
Somebody mentioned piracy?
It doesn't take guts to steal. Just an inability to think, a streak of laziness, and a large sense of entitlement.
It does take guts to steal because you are doing it under the threat of imprisonment. Most people would be discouraged by that alone.
That isn't "guts." Overcoming being afraid of consequence is merely self interest mixed with lack of abstract thinking.
