They’re literally complaining about women’s choice to do with their sexuality as they choose. There is no good faith there to begin with, which is incredibly clear.

That assumes you had any good faith in the first place. Women’s rights are being revoked and this is their response. And all you can do is cry about it. It’s very pathetic.

We know you don’t.

My guess in their logic is that you can’t be ad tracked.

That is of course if you believe that this blatantly authoritarian measure was actually done in response to terrorism.

The section referring to the shoplifting mentions specifically all employers. So that would include anyone.

There is a very important note though. There was an update to the line to include dedicated safety personnel when it comes to dealing with suspected shoplifters or active shooter:

(12) Provisions prohibiting the employer from maintaining policies that require employees who are not dedicated safety personnel to confront active shooters or suspected shoplifters.

I imagine that this is mostly to keep safely in mind without forcing standard employees into action. Being a dedicated safety personnel most likely applies to positions like a school body guard that isn’t a police officer or someone handling security for something like an armored truck. Someone who is working as dedicated safety personnel could get fired for failing to act. A regular employee would not be fired in the same situation: at the very least legally speaking.

I deserve all of the flack lol. I either misclicked or had a load issue with jerboa. My bad y’all

News pundit claims that a proposed new law would make it 1) “illegal for store employees to confront shoplifters”, and that 2) “it is legal to shoplift” in California.

What can we make of these claims?

Let’s start with claim one. This claim is specifically referencing Senate Bill 553 in California. The bill has so far cleared the Senate and is currently working it’s way through committees within the house.

I have not done a thorough reading of the bill, but there is only two parts I see that reference shoplifting, and only one in relation to confronting shoplifters. That reads:

6401.9 (b) (12) Provisions prohibiting the employer from maintaining policies that require employees to confront active shooters or suspected shoplifters.

It would prevent companies from having policies that would try and stop shoplifters/active shooters. Anecdotally, I work in retail and it’s my store’s policy to let all shoplifters be. I don’t live in California but a southern state. So even with the politics of the area it isn’t encouraged to confront shoplifters.

And in my (unasked for) opinion realistically it’s just not worth it; even if they end up stealing hundred or thousands of dollars in merchandise it’s not worth my life to fight over it. Especially at the wage I make.

For part two, it’s entirely hyperbole to completely factitious. Shoplifting in California is illegal and always has been to my knowledge. In order for it to qualify as felony shoplifting it has to be over $950 as of 2014. But it is still a misdemeanor if it’s any amount up to $950. Here is the specific text for those interested.

Huffman told NPR in an interview that Reddit needed to start behaving like an “adult” business. Earlier this week, the Reddit CEO compared the moderator-led protest to a child “blowup,” telling staffers in an internal memo that, “like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.”

I know this point has been hammered in by a lot of people, but this arrogance will eventually sink reddit. Not today, not tomorrow, not automatically after June 30th; but slowly the well will be poisoned until all faith in reddit as a platform evaporates. Both to sponsors as well as users.

I don’t know if Fediverse is the future; it can be difficult to grasp for newer/casual users, the mobile apps that do exist have their flaws, and the content is limited compared to agrigators like reddit (and unfair comparison when comparing each other’s size). But in the few days I’ve been here I’ve seen such a larger form of engagement than I’ve seen in a long time online. That’s purely anecdotal, but I believe at the very least the Fediverse will lead to innovations in this space. And I’m very much looking forward to that.

IANAL but wouldn’t this be on par with creating a contract or NDA with illegal elements? Wherein the contract/NDA are no longer considered valid/become void as a result. Obviously this wouldn’t apply to the US and several other countries, and Reddit also has lawyers. Realistically I’m also just some dingus so someone smarter may know
