      Viewlifting is travelling to wealthy neighbourhoods and taking in the beautiful beachfront, river front, or lakefront views that are only intended for the people who purchased property there. They paid a lot of money for those views, and they don’t want lower socioeconomic people coming in and using up all the majestic views for free.

    People picking leaves off plants and damaging them is clearly shitty, and I can see why they would prevent “no it fell off by itself honest” as an excuse.

    My grandfather, he had a big garden with lots of plants, had been banned from most of the garden stores within a 20 mile radius of his home because he was known to pick leaves of the plants and make saplings out of them.

    When he was 76, we had to pick him up from a local police station, since he insulted the officers whilst picking saplings and being caught for driving without a seatbelt.

    I miss him.

    Theft is when you use your own labor to foster the natural resources that grow on this planet and don’t give the pwner class their cut.

    Sometimes I pick the chillis at the garden centre and take them home to cook with.

    “But thats actually theft…”

      Now? Taking trash has been a crime for a long time. Dumpster diving, for example, you’re literally taking the stuff they threw out, but it’s illegal to do so. This is trash that’s still inside the store, I’m not surprised they don’t like it (but I don’t agree, at all).
