- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

I’ve been held up for my backpack twice. I just carry everything in a grocery bag now. No one cares to steal my groceries. I might need to swap back to a backpack once food prices explode
Where do you live that this has happened twice!?
I won’t dox myself, but I worked near the train station at the time, and they thought I was carrying drugs, for whatever reason. The area already had a crew that sold, openly and visibly, so I don’t know why they thought some kid just out of college was moving drugs at risk to his life in competition with dozens of armed men. If it sounds ridiculous to you, it was doubly so to me
