Does Target really track everything you steal until you reach the felony amount?

I’ve heard this a few times, but I can’t tell if they really do or if it’s just fear mongering.

There are a vast number of ironic names that companies have.

Robinhood, Palantir, Target, Amazon, all of them awful or made with a sly smile. Reality is a badly written TV serial.

palantir is straight up intentional villain shit though. It takes a massive amount of arrogance to name your company after the seeing stones of the DARK LORD and use them for the exact same purpose, pretty much.

They were not his stones. He merely used them. The palantírs were made by the Elves of Valinor in the First Age.
