>take a movie>leave a movie
>>217801528why am i guess the place this is placed at has a very very low melanin level?
>>217801528If I this was in my neighborhood I'd replace every film with a re-edit.
>replace every film with copies of Boss Nigger or Gay Niggers From Outerspace
>>217801528>see one of these for books>browse>all the books fucking suck
>>217801573>Add fake hanging midget to The Wizard of Oz
>pick up a movie>it's actually some dude's porn that he burned to a DVD>>217801576they're a good concept but people basically use them as a garbage can.
>>217801576well duh they took the good books and left their bad books
>>217801546Libtards will see something like this in Japan today and unironically wonder why we can't have it here...
>>217801584one man's trash is another man's treasure or some bullshit. The last one I saw had both terrible books and terrible dvds
All those dvds are covered in some guys nut juice, I know because its my nut juice
>>217801576I have one of these on my blockan actual library is walking distance away
>>217801528>take a good movie>swap it out with a copy of Godzilla vs Ebirah

>Leave: a DVD box of Frozen replaced with Pain Olympics>Take: all the popcorn
>>217801528Tried it in my neighborhood and every DVD/BR was gone within 3 days. Been sitting empty ever since.
>>217801685those dvds now grace the living room carpet of a teenage mexican couple

>>217801528The nigger population would need to literally be 0 for this system to work.
>>217801625It's virtue signaling
>>217801528I want to live in that neighborhood so bad
It makes you sad when you think about what the Jews and their orcish hordes have taken from us.....
>>217801901It works in Renothough usually it's books or food
>>217801576>see one of these>take a shitty book away>replace it with a good book>walk past it later that day>someone's taken my good book>they've replaced it with an autobiography of a right-wing D-list celebrity>think that if I keep putting genuinely good books in, it'll eventually change the ecosystem>people just take and keep my books, then replace them with trashIt's a nice idea in theory, until you factor in the facts blacks exist and 50% of people have no taste.
>>217801528>Great Value condoms at the bottom
>>217801718No, Carlos.
>>217801528These things are purely performative.Ive got a couple in my area and I have never seen someone using one or even so much as standing close by.
>>217802191Then why did you mention Japan? It looks like we already have it here.
>>217801546>>217801601I know a place nearby that has something similar to this but for books. I considered just donating a volume of Made In Abyss from my collection, just to see how people would react
>>217801584Is this the new "penis penis penis?"
>>217801546>why am i guess the placeYou're either German or Brazilian, not that there is much difference.
>>217801528I walk past like five or six of these in my neighborhood every day on the way to my local mini mart. I've never used them. The book version I mean, never seen a DVD version which is a good idea.
>>217801601Its funny when a black American goes to Japan and says how nice it is and "why can't we have stuff like this in America"Completely lacking in self awareness
>>217802287i meant to write guessing and i forgot the ingi may be an esl but im not stupid
>>217801528Ask me how I know the neighborhood this is in isn’t very “diverse”
>>217802308>why am i guessingSaar...
>>217801528I actually live a few blocks from this spot in north Everett, WA. It’s a shithole of rich liberal rednecks, very strange place. Very mentally ill
>>217801528I've seen at least two of these in california. I left the mask and took the heat one time. And yes I returned it.
>>217801528>when mom picks movies for the kids
Reminds me of the new KotH where Peggy does the book nook, fun concept but the way they turn it into a bed bug thing was silly and unrelatable but the book burning at the end was a good punchline
>>217801528I've only ever seen these in Anchorage, what state are you guys from that have these?
>"this doesn't work because of minorities"Don't mind me, just colonizing your DVDs in the name of God
>>217802349What the fuck is a liberal redneck? You don't even know what these terms mean
>>217802396I'm in NorthWest Washington. A large neighborhood with 100+ year old houses everywhere and there's a large handful of the book versions.
>>217802426Multiple places in America have neighborhood libraries. You're so brown you call it the "book version" lmao
>>217802345it sounds natural to me, how do you phrase it!?
>>217802460You're trying too hard.
I live in a shithole but I'm pretty sure if I set one of those up it wouldn't get vandalized. It would just go completely ignored like the rest of the junk lying around.
>>217801528when i see one of these i like to take them home and rub my asshole all over the pages
>>217802466If you have to ask you'll never know esl. I will never speak conversational Japanese. No5 that id want to but its just an example. And you will never pass as an English speaker.

>>217802485You didn't even deny being brown..
>>217802511why am i guessing your a virgin..
>>217802526>yourIt's "you're" you esl moron lmao.
>>217802525What you wrote didn't make any sense. It was gibberish and you're farming for attention. Just keep replying I got you homie. As many (yous) as you need I got you. It's gonna be okay. You're okay.
>>217802547
>>217802556Yeah you still didn't deny being brown. You will deny being lesser. I'm sorry for your skin.

>>217802396New Jersey. Its a small town, wife took 2 of the when expecting baby books when she was pregnant and didn't read a lick. Maybe ill leave a Cormac novel sometime
We had a bunch of those Little Free Libraries in my town and I kept putting AmRen books in them and then they were all removed.
>>217802632All libraries are free dummy
>>217802415Drinks all the time and does pills while listening to country and drives trucks, dresses like Walmart trash and has an out of place “country” accent while espousing liberal viewpoints and also calling themselves things like polyamorous and non-binary.I live in a specific rare shithole
>>217802256real life is different from the internet. if you put loli porn in a public place that children might access you might get the cops called on you or your ass kicked
>>217802256old phone booths outside the cities are being used like this in England, for now.
>>217801528In the spring and summer here, there's a few little stands around town with fresh vegetables and a box to put your money in. Nobody ever fucks with them or rips them off. Feels good man.
>>217801528>>217801576We have a few nearby and I've gotten a few capeslop Blu Rays, a bunch of CDs of 90s rap and alternative rock and classical.With books I found classics like War & Peace, 1984, some interesting biographies of people I'd normally really get into, found a few Stephen King books.Plus a bunch of childhood stuff like a couple dozen Goosebump books, a few cartoon books.But the bulk of it tends to be bullshit mid-tier crime novels and fantasy series. A lot of cookbooks and How To Do This Fuckin Thing In 56 Easy Steps type of books.It's like at goodwill/charity shops, you're digging for diamonds in the rough.
>>217802154> right-wing D-list celebrity> 50% of people have no tasteREEEEEEEEEEE. Everything in my life is tied to politics. TDS is real. You are sad.

>>217804881You won't do shit you spineless little faggot.
They have 2 of these in my richfag neighborhood Some guy that lives 10 mins away from us who lives in a $35 million house has these adult kids who stock them from time to time. One for books, one for movies Never used them myself
>>217802396North Carolina, in a small town. I have multiple within walking distance of me. And one down the road does canned food goods.
>>217801546Shit like this can't exist outside of white neighbourhoods, Japan and wealthier parts of China.

>>217801528take two
>>217805021This you, bro?
Someone is always putting beans in my local library box
>>217801546Dude no joke we had one of these but for books and a drunk nigger tripped and fell on it, breaking it (I know this because i volunteered at the place it was set up and saw the security cam footage)
>you can get bulk dvd cases and dvds for about 50c each>burn a bunch of old hong kong kino onto them>place them into little libraries around townThe charges, officer?For a succulent jackie chan meal?
>>217801576Those little free libraries are everywhere in my town but they usually accompany houses like pic.

>>217802665>I live in a specific rare shitholeHell. You're living in hell.
>>217806400This is because conservatives want to live in a high trust society but would never ever ever ever engage in high trust behaviors. See that retarded heatmap study, where a majority of conservatives state they give zero moral consideration to members of their same nation.
>>217801546I've heard of people clearing out little free libraries, but you really get peanuts when you turn that stuff into stores so it's not very common. DVDs are a couple bucks each at places like HPB, it's typically not worth doing.>>217801576I've actually gotten multiple books I was specifically interested in and even looking for. It's a roll of the dice. I see a lot of advance copies lately, in totally different locations which is kind of weird.>>217801625There's one right outside the door of my local library. One is for something to read with no strings attached that can then be passed on to a different LFL elsewhere, the other is checked out with your card for two weeks. It's not really the same.We have so many in the area that I was dissuaded from putting up one of my own.

>>217802302White americans aren't that much better when you compare them to Europeans or even Canadians. I find it so funny that you white amerimutts like to pretend you're perfect and everything is the fault of niggers when you are among the worse skinned faggots on earth right next to russians and australians.
>>217806865All I see is impotent screeching from a brown parasite that pretends it's not a parasite
>>217806865Americans actually engage in social pleasantries with strangers something alien to most euros

>>217806865In what context have you interacted with all these groups you mention?
>>217801528>takes nothing>leaves a piece of dog shit
>>217801546Because you're a mentally ill /pol/tranny.
>>217807950We actually got little unmanned shops at farms around here, people just take what they need a put the pay into a box.Try telling me that would work in the world you so desperately try to create.
>>217801528Don't people just usb dead drops for a public leave a movie take a movie situation?
>>217808424fuck that, I ain't plugging in some random USB drive that was just left lying around by who even fucking knows
>>217806303This nigga readin' BEANS
>>217801528Only white people would be excited about putting their obscure shit in this, walking home with giddy excitement that they'll have broadened someone's mind.
>>217808494Other than testable things like if they switched around power pins or supplied too much power, what is all that different between plugging in a USB that who knows who could have tampered with and running a random optical disc that who knows who could have tampered with?
>>217801528I'd take whatever action flick is in there and replace it with Napoleon Dynamite. Just watched it on Blu Ray for the first time and was fun.
>>217808568You literally destroyed countless unique cultures and replaced it with jews
>>217807950>stop noticing obvious correlations between low trust societies and Africans
>>217808568And black people would vandalize it, possibly setting it on fire.
>>217808576if they went through the trouble of pressing a disc, printing graphics on it and making a counterfeit sleeve for it they deserve to brick my DVD player
>See one of these set up outside a nearby house>Go and check it out>Oh neat it has some good books in>Get chatting to the owner>Turns out she's a massive lib and supports BLM>Leave without taking any booksThinking of going back and adding one of my three copies of The Art of the Deal to it lol
>>217806774Well, I can certainly see why its brother is so upset
>>217808576More available exploits....Do you even hack, bro?
>>217808725What is the difference between bothering to do that and bothering to buy a significantly more expensive usb stick, prepare it so it can damage electronics, and mortar it into a publicly accessible, but not entirely obvious space?

>>217809406Nobody likes brown eyes
>>217802368My grandma was incredibly transphobic and yet she liked Ma Vie en Rose. Peak cognitive dissonance. Though my mom says she tried to make me play with her old Barbies so she rushed to get me into Power Rangers to prevent me from becoming a fag, so maybe she had a child tranny fetish despite the transphobia or something.
>>217802256Manga was alright until they introduced the quad amputee twin children with multiple nipples, it was at that point in which I was like "no way in hell I'm putting this on my shelf"
I'm thinking about making my own booklets with art or prose and putting them in those boxes for people to find.

>>2178022876 goals
>>217801546People sometimes like to pretend otherwise but being 36 I remember the UK used to be filled with this shit even growing up in London. Free book stands, farm produce stands, sometimes shops with honesty systems. When you think about it the hop on hop off old style buses were of a similar vein.
>>217806991>>217812192It's all fake smile bullshit, whites elsewhere prefer genuine connection not some fake McFriendship from some stranger because the whole culture is sterile corpo shit where people have to pretend being nice. You find your ass in some 2nd world balkan/eastern europeans shithole, people are poor but they will treat their guests better than themselves because the shame of not doing that would be unbearable, however Amerimutts are known for being selfish individual motherfuckers despite being the among the richest. I struggle to find other white countries where you can get your kid kidnapped and sent to be abused in some weird bootcamp, the moment he hit 18 you kick him out of the house and if he dare have any resentment toward you you are legally allowed to disown the fucker and all this is consider somewhat normal.
>>217806774the thing that gets me is how senselessly destructive they are. White crack heads figured out how to drill out locks on vending machines like 30 years ago. It's faster, easier, and leaves the machine mostly intact so they can be easily repaired. These god damn somalians are using fucking can openers, to rip half the machine apart, for maybe $50 max. It's not even worth the ammount of effort they put into destroying shit
>>217801546I was gonna say, is there even any value in stealing movies like that, but then I remembered the several instances of FREE condom machines being broken into by niggers
>>217801645Look at the size of those things
>>217801634Godzilla vs Ebirah is a fun campy adventure and it has my boy Giant Condor.
>>217806492This explain why they are against public healthcare.
>>217802154Sort of related but I work in a used bookstore where we buy books from the public, and the amount of times I have to tell these old mfers that their decade old fox news poli sci books are worthless is crazy. Everyone thinks they're gonna make a killing selling off their book collection, then you look through it and it's all shitty memoirs from literal-whos, political news anchor ramblings, and dime a dozen james patterson mystery books. I'm convinced that nobody has any taste. At the end of the day, I'm just confused as to why people are even reading that crap to begin with.
>>217812537>noooo criminals should respect the property they’re destroying … you’re already committing a crime.
>>217806492>where a majority of conservatives state they give zero moral consideration to members of their same nationI think you've got that flipped around.
>>217801546>see a thread>any thread>make it /pol/ on fp
>>217812807Society is better if they do.Like I don't want anyone to break into my house, but if they do I hope they have the courtesy to flush if they take a massive stinky poo poo in the toilet.
>>217811746Based
>>217808746even the vending machines have fatigue, or as i like to call it "the vending machine's burden"
>>217802256That would be so KEK and SHADILAY
>>217812807nigga, it's not even a matter of respect. It's about stewardship of resources, and the ability to plan more than 15 minutes ahead. When things just get trashed like this, it's over. People stop putting these resources out there. But if people are more thoughtful and careful with how they steal shit, they can hit it multiple times, and steal more money overall. Do you understand now why this is literally subhuman behavior? I'm not even making the argument that theft is wrong, but this is just violent animal instinct
>>217812537>It's faster, easier, and leaves the machine mostly intact so they can be easily repairedHow many levels of retardation are you currently on anon?Why would a criminal think about leaving the machine "mostly intact"?
>>217812822he wasn't wrong tho.
>>217801573Why not Buck Breaking and The Greatest Story Never Told while you're at it?
>>217814510When things just get trashed like this, it's over. People stop putting these resources out there. But if people are more thoughtful and careful with how they steal shit, they can hit it multiple times, and steal more money overall.
>>217801546Will you PLEASE stop noticing patterns and forming connections based on said patterns?
>>217814660that's not the only vending machine in the coutry dumbass, I'm sure they can hit thousands in the meantimeYou also think that when a jewelry store gets hit, the thieves leave the glass intact? Or when they hit an armored truck they don't aim for the legs so the guy can work again and get robbed?You say a lot of shit about not thinking two steps ahead but you clearly can't see the bigger picture
Man, these glavset-infused threads are boring as shit.
>>217814510this jogging-american is really going to quote the part where it's faster and easier, and pretend like that argument does not exist, because he wants to get into a fight... you literally can't make this up
>>217806865American whites are not the issue. The country became the dominant global superpower in the 1940s when it was 90% white.
>>217814824yeah there's no argument to defend either
>>217814510>Why would a criminal think about leaving the machine "mostly intact"?Because they have the magic ability to plan ahead and imagine a future scenario.>If I only break the machine enough to access the money, they will repair the machine, and I can steal from it again next monthvs.>i goan get dem money!
>>217814130Nigger that’s bike-cuck tier logic.
>>217814721>that's not the only vending machine in the coutry dumbass, I'm sure they can hit thousands in the meantime If you smash up all the machines on a block guess what's gonna happen to the rest of the machines in the city? Insurance will go up, eventually they'll pull out, or add those cages that prevent any theft.>You also think that when a jewelry store gets hit, the thieves leave the glass intact?Of course, but they don't tear down the building to get to it >Or when they hit an armored truck they don't aim for the legs so the guy can work again and get robbed? Ok now you're just talking about movie shit. Petty thieves aren't going after an armored truck. And what do the guys legs have to do with it? He isn't the one making the money, he just drives the truck.
>>217812537>want more than one condom? Well you just stand there and go crank crank crank for eachor fuck you im ripping the door open.
>>217812537The lock drilling thing is so you can look like a repairman doing legitimate service and no one will give it a second thought. Smash and grab is acknowledging the fact the police aren’t going to be there anytime soon no matter what and all anyone would’ve seen is a nigger smashing shit.
>>217814947I don't want anyone to break into my house.Explain how that is bike-cuck logic
>>217806400stock them with copies of Camp of the Saints, Bronze Age Mindset, Culture of Critique, the Gor novels, and of course Mein Kampf
>>217815124Because you’re asking the people who stole your shit to respect the shit they didn’t/couldn’t steal. Furthermore if they stole something small you might never know you were robbed.
>>217808568Too son.
>>217812816No, you. Valuing everything in the universe means you value members of your own nation, family, yourself, etc, as well. That’s why it’s a series of circles. Each larger circle includes everything within it.
this is what you do. you find the type of movies lazy parents are likely to just pop in and leave their kids watching while they go do something else. you take the cases and switch the dvd with a copy of The Greatest Story Never Told. shitlib parents unwittingly redpill their kids about how Hitler Did Nothing Wrong.
>>217815186I don't want to get robbed. You're grasping.
>>217812807oops i shot and killed the criminal, I know i didn't really need to but he was a criminal committing a crime whoops oh well just part in parcel to committing a crime
>>217815257Why are you pretending you didn’t go>I don’t want to get robbed butThe post is right there.
>>217815352Anon I know this is a comforting fantasy, but you and I both know it’s a fantasy and you’ll do absolutely nothing, whether you want to admit it to yourself or not.
>>217815360I mean, the toilet thing was kind of a joke.But the actual point is: if I get robbed, then I definitely don't also want the burglars to clog up the drains and flood the place.It sounds like you're saying you want your place to get completely trashed.
>>217815495The point is whenever you say anything, once you say “but,” everything before the “but” is irrelevant/meaningless.
>>217801546dvds and even blu rays have very little resell value. a used media store will give you a quarter a piece for most movies, maybe a buck or three if you have like, the criterion edition or its a movie they know will sell quickly
>>217815800Oh, well then that wasn't quite what I meant, which should be obvious after my further elaboration.
>>217816063they steal not because it is in their interest, but merely because it is in their nature"lol," said the scorpion. "lmao"
>>217816898That is called a slip, bike-cuck
>>217815800>once you say “but,” everything before the “but” is irrelevant/meaningless.That's actually not true, but I won't stop you from mindlessly using movie quotes.
>>217817422"I don't want to be robbed, but if I was robbed I wouldn't want my house completely trashed."Hmm, yeah everything before the "but" is still true and relevant. I really don't know what you're talking about
>>217801546I like how everyone looked at the image and thought this
>>217817546Mere socioeconomic factors.
>>217817499Anon, if you didn’t know you were using cuck logic, you wouldn’t be trying to dig yourself out of the hole you put yourself in.
>>217802673He wouldn't get his ass kicked. The government points guns at people for that and throws them in jail. We do not enforce social order, our pedophile elites do.He would, however, get a full swat team no knocking him at 3 am shooting his dog and ransacking his house and if he lived he'd go on the sex offenders list for life.
I have a book one my street. It's set up next to a school entrance so it's a near perfect spot.The annoying one is some new neighbor bought a house down the street for like 800k and put a puzzle box library version on top of a shitty cinder block stack. Like wtf? You can't afford to sink a post in your yard so it looks decent at this area's home price point?
>>217817757I accept your concession.
>>217816063this kind of logical thinking does not apply to the blacks who would still the dvds. they would just see "free shit I can see" and sell it even if it got them 12 dollars they'd do it 100% of the time
>>217801528You can tell the racial composition of the area because it isn't emptied and vandalized.
>>217806347OK but in terms of niggerish behavior, a drunken trip and accidentally breaking something is pretty low on the scale. Sounds like you got "one of the good ones" in your town. Others would've just broken it and destroyed the books for fun.

>>217801576The Venn diagram overlap of "Books the average person owns and are willing to give away to a stranger" and "Quality literature" is incredibly low
>>217806492We can't engage in high trust society activities because libtards keep importing infinity browns from countries where raping and looting are not seen as crimes but more as legitimate jobs.

>>217818729>Luxury beliefs are ideas and opinions that confer status on the upper class, while often inflicting costs on the lower classes.>In 1899, the economist and sociologist Thorstein Veblen published a book called The Theory of the Leisure Class.>Drawing on observations about social class in the late nineteenth century, Veblen’s key idea is that because we can’t be certain about the financial status of other people, a good way to size up their means is to see whether they can afford expensive goods and leisurely activities.>This explains why status symbols are so difficult to obtain and costly to purchase.>In Veblen’s day, people exhibited their status with delicate and restrictive clothing like tuxedos, top hats, and evening gowns, or by partaking in time-consuming activities like golf or beagling.>These goods and leisurely activities could only be purchased or performed by people who did not work as manual laborers and could spend their time and money learning something with no practical utility.>Veblen even goes so far as to say, “The chief use of servants is the evidence they afford of the master’s ability to pay.” For Veblen, butlers are status symbols, too.

>>217812752>I'm just confused as to why people are even reading that crap to begin with.they're not reading it, they buy books as gifts or to follow a fad, but most of them don't read it, and if they do its only so they can talk about it with other people, socialize, not to get new thoughts, ponder over philosophical ideas, understand history/politics, awe over the lyrical masters. the people are lazy sheep and follow the bestseller marketit's the same with music and movies
>>217806991It’s funny that when people complain about America is kind of always comes down to this >this American said “have a nice day” to me!!! AAAAH WE DONT DO THAT IN GERMANY hahahahaha but seriously you guys are okay.

>>217801546>>217801528Another /pol/bait thread
>>217818729>pro gay and trans signs everywhere are the most affluent of neighborhoods where the population is like 99% elderly white peopleMajority white, yes, most affluent, I'd say more affluent over MOST affluent. I live in a college town that's 90% white and I'd say maybe 70% of houses with free libraries also have a sign or flag signalling support for one or more of the following: LGBt, BLM, No Kings, Vote X on Measure #, Vote for X Candidate, other sociopolitical message
>>217812752I work at a library with a volunteer bookstore and whenever a person donating books says unprompted, "They're good books." you know they're donating abyssal dogshit. It'll be a 6th grade Geography textbook from 2002 that smells like cat pee with visible mold, and the 55 year old Filipino man donating it will look you dead in the eyes and ask for a donation receipt for their taxes.

>>217821788>humanity continue getting dumberIt's called "dysgenic fertility" and while it's very real and represents a threat to western civilization, it's largely dismissed as either insignificant, imaginary, or too politically incorrect to study. It's one of those things, like the maladaptive nature of "black culture," that most people recognize to be the problem, but won't talk about because Academia refuses to acknowledge the uncomfortable truth.
I put 'Orbit 10' in one of these because I wanted a better copy for my collection. I saw it was gone the next day.
>>217822817It’s more than once people start talking about black “culture” (which is entirely manufactured by record labels) the exact next thing they talk about is the culture of a religion that asserts those born into it are kings of the earth and all others exist only to serve them.
>>217822817>Academia refusesacademia can't without being fired from your job, blacklisted and harassed for the rest of your life
>>217818729>signs everywhere are the most affluent of neighborhoodsYeah, because those tend to be highly educated areas. Like my zip code in CA is around 80% white with the average education being over a college degree. Nobody cares about tranny panic hereThe whole fear of anyone different is an under educated and poor sort of issue. It's why it works on a dumb rural base as a distraction issue. Error but to be fair some of that is also living in a bubble. It's easy to not worry about a black neighbor when he is a doctor with a Porsche.
>>217806658>DVDs are a couple bucks each at places like HPB, it's typically not worth doing.Such actions aren't made with money in mind. Rather the pleasure they get in denying people their sacred little place.
>>217822982bait>It's easy to not worry about a black neighbor when he is a doctor with a Porsche.whoa wait you mean people are less likely to be racist to Tom the black accountant than they are to Tyrone the crack addict?next thing you'll tell me is that black people are less afraid of Greg the clean cut friendly white guy in a polo than Enoch the shotgun toting overalls wearing klan member
Everyone likes to reminisce about Blockbuster but nobody ever mentions how Blockbuster would send local mobsters to your door if you didn't bring back a movie on time. And if it was a nightly rental instead of a weekly they would break your legs.
>>217822982Racism isn’t fear. You can’t even really say anyone is racist these days, as it’s pretty much impossible to be prejudiced. People are “postjudiced”
>>217806658>you really get peanuts when you turn that stuff into stores so it's not very common. DVDs are a couple bucks each at places like HPB, it's typically not worth doing.Ain’t no such thing as too cheap for a crackhead
>>217801634Ebirah's a good movie too. It has the based Giant Vulture and the rock throwing fight.>>217822664Oh that explains why when I asked about donating books to the library the librarian looked exhausted kekI should have told her I wanted to donate philosphy and manga books
>>217823182>>217823305I'm just saying that that's an extreme and it seems to keep that happening a rarity. It's definitely going to happen somewhere, but I don't think that immediate soapbox post was of any value.
>>217823729Just saying that drug addicts will steal literally anything if the value is enough to get them a hit for the day
>>217825124I understand that and I agreed with you.
>>217822982>Yeah, because those tend to be highly educated areas. Like my zip code in CA is around 80% white with the average education being over a college degree.
