I think it eventually came out that this guy was just a janitor or something and had no reason to be strapped. Not even a space janitor, just a regular old earth janitor.

No offence to the earth janitors out there.

My favorite thing about this image is how he meticulously blended the baseboards and floorboards together :allears:

loving hell I hadn't noticed that. The wall/floor does look oddly repetitive.

You could have used a tripod and stood in two different places.

OR! Post two pics side by side, like a rudeboy who gives no gently caress :kamina:

e: also for some reason I suddenly started wondering if exm'lady is a real word. Why is that?

I remember that picture being paired with another that's just a table with all the poo poo he carried laid out. Had to be more than twenty pounds of stuff that had nothing to do with his job.

I love gawking at EDC people. It's one of those things that may have existed before, but like furries, SJWs, etc., the internet distills something down to pure weird, and then you have people who make a lifestyle out of "carrying things in my pockets".



I have a knife. But what if I need a scredriver, I should carry a multitool. That also has a knife in it. And then another multitool. Plus a multitool on my keyring. And another tool on there too. Also my watch band is a multitool.

All that's missing is a gun. And a backup gun. And maybe a couple more flashlights.

Aw jeeze. I hope not. I mean i heard if you carry around a hammer in your truck and you use it to smash a window and steal a stereo that hammer becomes a burglary tool. I guess that doesn't explain whether some things are inherently burglary tools.

Depending on where he is, the hideaway knife is also very, very illegal. It's usually okay to carry knives if they're smaller blades for cutting food or whatever, but a knife designed specifically for concealment has no purpose other than, you know, stabbing people.

In canada the law is

quote:

Possession of break-in instrument
351. (1) Every one who, without lawful excuse, the proof of which lies on them, has in their possession any instrument suitable for the purpose of breaking into any place, motor vehicle, vault or safe under circumstances that give rise to a reasonable inference that the instrument has been used or is or was intended to be used for such a purpose,
(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years; or
(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.
...
R.S., 1985, c. C-46, s. 351; R.S., 1985, c. 27 (1st Supp.), s. 48; 2008, c. 18, s. 9.

Possession of instruments for breaking into coin-operated or currency exchange devices
352. Every one who, without lawful excuse, the proof of which lies on him, has in his possession any instrument suitable for breaking into a coin-operated device or a currency exchange device, under circumstances that give rise to a reasonable inference that the instrument has been used or is or was intended to be used for breaking into a coin-operated device or a currency exchange device, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years.
R.S., c. C-34, s. 310; 1972, c. 13, s. 26; 1974-75-76, c. 93, s. 28.

So if someone calls in that there is a suspicious looking* dude hanging around, and the police find the suspicious looking dude in possession of tools, then that can ruin his day. This is one of those areas where the cop has a lot of discretion since a lot of things could be burglary tools or be perfectly innocent. Lock picks are one of those things that it will be harder to come up with a "lawful excuse" for though.

Unless you're a bonded and certified locksmith on call, or a member of certain law enforcement agencies, carrying lockpicking tools is pretty much always possession of burglary tools.

i think you're all overanalysing this to an "on the spectrum" degree. the dude just thinks he is james bond or the guy from skyrim, that's all

that's why he carries five knives and three torches and a gun to his job as a web developer at Wendy's, he wants to be prepared for if a gorgeous stranger needs him to repair her broken phone and teach her how to love again

Well he doesn't carry cash so he is dumb for that reason because now he's traceable via his manga purchases. Sure, he's got a phone but you can throw that out or destroy it. All that tactical gear and no way to go off the grid.

I know it's fairly common for IT people to carry a set, and everyone who i have talked to who has been stopped was fine, as long as there was no reason to believe they had been used in commission of a crime (they were all white)
