That’s literally how Roger Corman ran his production studio and how famous directors like James Cameron got their start. Corman hired students and fresh grads to make movies that were expected to be shit, sold as the second half of the A/B double feature, the B movie.

In Tempe, Arizona, Culdesac is reimagining US cities for people, not cars – and inviting travellers to explore its plazas, paseos and Mediterranean-inspired design.

A town in the desert that says no cars is like asking for a spike in heat stroke.

I understand the option to prosecute the guy but what isn’t talked about is if Meijer tried to work with him and gave him second/third/etc chance by saying “hey, we saw. Let’s figure out what’s happening”

I literally worked with a manager in grocery who did this with people and got mixed results but he still tried. 3 people turned around out of a dozen or so who eventually quit. There was one guy, I’ll call him Ryan, who would eat yogurt and huff whip cream gas whenever he got the chance. After 6 months of hell he was finally hauled off after being found passed out in the dairy case. Probably from the whipped cream.

I was a bagger and so was Ryan. I had to work twice as much for those 6 months because he was so bad as an employee.

Lemmy doesn’t see the second chances. They only get the end result. And folks sure are excited to shit on someone when they are swayed by clearly biased writing. I don’t like corporations as much as y’all but the company didn’t make the guy steal. It wasn’t entrapment. They solved a problem. What steps did they take before the police? No idea. But the article also manipulated folks into thinking he was special needs when it was just a guess by the author. It’s fucking lunacy that someone can ask a question about any missing details not provided by the article and have so many down votes based on believing the propaganda.

I worked in grocery and had a manager who actually hired at-risk and untrustworthy people because he believed in second chances. I saw 3 people get caught red handed and then coached back to being reliable and professional this way. Actual humanity means taking time with people - which I thought might be happening here. But nope, fuck me for asking questions.

I was hopeful that folks were kind. I didn’t even need to read the article to see how unkind people are to others. These comments are enough to kill hope.

Yeah, I’m a shill. Just like all the other shills who come in seeking clarification. Nice way to dog pile. Hope you get the comfort from the group that you clearly need.

The article author self diagnosed the guy as special needs - it was an unsupported guess about the guy without evidence. Just looking at him and expecting a stereotype. I’m not here to assume and am taking the article details as provided.

Profiling based on appearance is wrong. All the details from the article are that the guy was stealing and then corporations are bad for not letting him go.

Yeah. I guess I am an idiot. I thought the store manager or one of the key holders was delaying any punishment because they were trying to give the guy a second chance or some kind of opportunity to avoid repeat offending. Second chances look a lot like this.

But yeah, I’m an idiot for being hopeful someone should act immediately and just fire him.

Neil is a genius.

T.I.M.E. is unnecessarily moving for a mashup and it feels like it adds a level of depth that both songs didn’t have before.

No one remembers the solo from You Ain’t Nothing But A Hound Dog with an authentic hound.

Kittens are filthy. You can get a cleaner huff with pups. Seals, dogs, etc - any pup will do.

He stole food over a period of months. I’m not sure the company was in the wrong here since they had a person stealing from them. And they waited months for it to stop before arresting him since he clearly wasn’t able to stop himself and it wasn’t an isolated incident. What did the thief do to earn redemption?

If it weren’t for the goatee they wouldn’t know where their chin ends and their neck begins.

Pants is one of the best single panel comics right now. Will always up vote Pants.

Ironic that finding meaning in random events made religion. Or he’s getting the love that he’s showing. Whatever you believe.

Linux treats users like a person and Windows treats users like children. Be the person Linux trusts you to be.

Alright, I’ll fight you. Raising Cane’s has mid chicken and weak fries. The only thing worth going to RCs for is the sauce.

Try a butter bell. The water keeps the temp even and cool.

I probably do. But I have so little trust that I have to say my doubts out loud and hope someone else can give me an insight or clue I missed. AI media paranoia is real.
