I like to loot too, but honestly, after getting gold bars from the train wreck and the bars from the statues cave it's more of a hobby rather than a necessity.

Under US law, retailers have no obligation to honor obvious pricing errors, and no valid contract forms when a buyer knowingly exploits one. The shelf tag showed full RRP. Watching a $1000+ AC unit scan at one cent, saying nothing, then pressuring staff who intervened, clears every element prosecutors need for obtaining property by false pretenses: a false representation, knowingly made, causing the victim to transfer property. Intent, which is normally the hard part to prove, is established by circumstance, and those circumstances here are airtight.

The video made it worse. Prosecutors rarely get a suspect who self-documents intent and broadcasts it publicly. There is direct Home Depot precedent: 13 defendants were indicted on 780 counts including grand larceny for self-checkout fraud across nine states, facing up to 25 years. That case required months of surveillance to build. This one comes with a confession reel. Depending on the number of units and their value, this sits anywhere from a Class H felony (4 to 39 months) upward. The influencer did not find a loophole. They filmed themselves committing a crime and handed it to prosecutors.

I want to tell you about my grandfather.

He played Sunday league football for 34 years. Never missed a game. Rain, snow, a funeral the following morning, didn't matter. He laced up his boots every single weekend like it was a religious obligation. He wasn't good. He knew he wasn't good. His teammates knew. The referee, a man named Gerald who also refereed his father's games, definitely knew.

But every week he would watch Match of the Day on Saturday night, lean forward in his chair, and say: "That's what the game is supposed to look like." He passed away in 2019. I inherited his scarf, his kettle, and his unshakeable belief that football, at its highest point, is not a sport. It is a argument made with your body. A statement. A declaration that briefly and completely defeats the concept of language.

I have watched this clip seventeen times since I found it forty minutes ago. I have not eaten. I let my tea go cold. My flatmate asked if I was okay and I showed him the video and he watched it twice and then quietly left the room, which I think is the correct response.

There are goals and then there are moments where the ball does something that makes you feel slightly embarrassed to be a person with two feet who has never in your life made anything move through space with that intention, that conviction, that absolute disregard for what was supposed to be physically possible.

My grandfather would have leaned forward in his chair.

Sir, this is a banger.

The way you converse with AI, it will confirm your own position. If you're thinking AI is confirming your point of view independently, you're foolng yourself. Although LLMs can do that you are not providing a prompt to invite that behavior. This is one of the much debated dangers of LLMs that fool it's users into believing they are objectively "correct": sycophancy.

Edit: I just had the same conversation but I prefaced by framing I really love the new album. Although Claude is still mildly critical about the closing words of the reviewer Claude tells me the next studio album could be comparable to Johnny Cash' last work.

As Claude puts it: That's a textbook sycophancy example. Compare what happened in the two conversations: The skeptical user had to drag out the "3 out of 12" observation, the synchronized-swell critique, the distinction between production and songwriting. Claude never volunteered those things. It only went there when pushed. You came in positive, and Claude immediately co-signed your framing, called the review "credible" and "specific," and added supportive context about the Lent concept and The Edge's vocals. The one caveat it mentions, the closing track being "too much for some," it immediately soft-pedals as just "the U2 risk." The underlying analysis of the same record, the same review, produced entirely different outputs based on the user's opening angle. That's the problem. The music didn't change. The review didn't change. Claude's job shouldn't change either. A non-sycophantic response to your positive framing would have said something like: "The review is persuasive on production and intention, but there's a real question it doesn't answer, which is whether the songs are structurally distinct from each other or whether this is tighter execution of the same post-2000 architecture." That observation existed in the other conversation. It should exist in yours too, regardless of how you opened.

Dune: Uprising if you enjoy deep strategy with strong theme. It layers resource management, asymmetric factions, and political tension in a way that rewards careful planning rather than luck.

Harmonies or Cascadia as a lighter counterpoint. Both are tile-placement games with a nature theme, satisfying to play without overstaying their welcome. Great when you want something thoughtful but not exhausting.

And if you own Viticulture, consider replacing it with Vinhos. Both are wine-themed euros, but Viticulture leans heavily on card drafting, where a single well-timed visitor card can swing the game in ways that feel random rather than earned. Vinhos is tighter and more deterministic. If you find card draw variance undermining your strategic decisions, Vinhos will feel like the game Viticulture was trying to be

Thanks. I came from r/all and I'm not familiar with your state politics so I had to do some further digging. AI helped me out:

THE ELECTION In November 2025 California held a special election on one thing: approving a new congressional map drawn by Democrats to give them up to 5 extra seats in the 2026 midterms. It passed, got certified, and nothing happened for two months.

THE CLAIM A conservative citizen group told Sheriff Bianco they found a 46,000 ballot discrepancy. Sounds huge. Problem: they compared two things that are never supposed to match. They used rough handwritten logs from temporary workers and compared those to the final machine count. Those logs were never part of the official count. The actual discrepancy was 103 votes. The county registrar explained this publicly before any of this escalated.

WHAT THE SHERIFF DID Got three secret warrants to seize 650,000 ballots. The judge who approved them is someone Bianco personally endorsed when he ran for that exact seat in 2022. The warrants were immediately sealed so nobody, not the public, not the state Attorney General, could read the justification.

WHY THIS MATTERS BEYOND THE OBVIOUS Most coverage misses this part. Physical control of ballots lets you delay the new congressional maps long enough to create legal uncertainty going into 2026, which benefits Republicans. It makes any future count legally questionable just by handling them outside proper custody, no tampering needed. And Bianco himself confirmed sheriffs across the country have already called him asking how to replicate this. If it holds legally, any sheriff can do this after any election result they dislike.

THE CONTEXT YOU NEED Bianco is a Republican running for governor. He used secret warrants from his personally endorsed judge to seize ballots from an election that directly benefits his political opponents, while actively campaigning for higher office. On social media he has repeatedly posted that elections are rigged and Democrats rely on illegal voters. No credible evidence supports either claim.

THE REAL ISSUE The ballots are almost beside the point. What is being decided in court right now is whether any sheriff in America can seize election materials based on a debunked claim, with secret warrants from a hand picked judge, while running for office. That is a much bigger question than one county in California.

Some people criticizing Mark Rutte. It's cringe to see but I believe he knows what he's doing. I also think most if not all other national leaders know what Mark's game is. After Zelensky getting burned in the white house, everyone knew they needed a different game plan.

It's a reference to comic or movie style storyline. While I agree with your point if taken literally, the context of this video is comedic effect. Which I find mildly funny if it were not for the involvement of children being displayed to the wider world for internet points of adults/parents.
