Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It's not whataboutism. You said shoplifters drive up prices. That is objectively false, as demonstrated by the disparity between what is lost to shrinkage (less than 2%, and that includes all shrinkage, not just shoplifting) and food waste, roughly 30-40% of all food in the USA.
Your anger is misplaced, and you are actively making society worse.
They literally did the math for you. If there is even a price hike based on this, you're basically getting mad about 1 cent of a 40 cent price hike.
Yes I am. Thats my 1 cent. And thus your argument is no more. Try again mate
