what about people that return carts half the time but dont half the time?

If you only commit murder every other day, are you a murderer?

Only on the on days

the whole point of the shopping carts question is that it is not actually a crime but undesirable behavior. murder is a crime not just bad behavior. not a good comparison.

It's not about the severity it's about whether or not the frequency of which you do a thing affects whether you are labeled by that thing.

[-] devbo@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

that sounds right.

They generally know what's right, but mostly from people telling them, not from first-hand experience. Their values haven't been fully tempered yet.
