More from LP reddit y’all. Be careful out there, a blindspot may not necessarily be a blindspot.
I think Walmart does this often
I can’t fucking win lmfaooo
rep0st bc antil1fters in the comments
TW: health stuff
So I feel like something needs to be addressed in how LP predict for a sh0pl!fter . Things have changed since I was in LP. Many of the newer "profile" characteristics are frequently seen in the neurodivergent and the chronically ill. Like leaning on the cart . Or scratching alot. Not making eye contact /looking around a lot . Those two could be autism or ptsd hypervigilance .Even magnet detectors due to the fact multiple medical solutions (shunts, pacemakers, vns simulators) I'm not sure where to start advocating about this. Yes we do something "illega! " . But everyone who has chronic illness or is neurodivergent shouldnt have a horrible experience or suffer a false stop simply by behavior.
as a neurodivergent and disabled lįfter, i think about this a lot.
YESSSS thank you for bringing this up. I’m chronically ill and need to lean on the cart all the time. It’s basically a walker for me
why is tumblr a literal breeding ground for hypocritical dicks? y’all wanna “destroy capitalism!” and “end animal abuse!!!” and all this other social justice worker kind of shit, but I steal a fish and I’m scum. whenever I’m at the petstore, there’s always near death, or actualy dead, fish in the jars. do you think the fish really give a shit if they were paid for or not? nah. but they’re sure as hell happier living in a 3 gallon tank, with clean water, rather than an 8oz cup on a shelf for months on end. not to mention, 90% of y’all steal your movies, music, pc games, and tv shows via torrenting. still theft. how many of you do illegal drugs? and/or drink/smoke while underage? I mean, I just can’t wrap my head around why you think you’re so above someone else. especially when you’re all so far from innocent. so many of you are still fuckin criminals, even if we aren’t guilty of the same shit.
I wanna steal a fish now😳😮😍
cannot believe I have to keep on saying this but maybe don't?? reblog posts that are like "reblog if ur active in December!!!" if an anti saw that post or if it was even made by an anti, all they'd have to do is look at the 300 reblogs and they know who half the active lifters on liftblr are
You know what? Fuck capitalism.
hi! i'm new to this community on tumblr, but not to lifting in general. i was just wondering if there are any tips you have about being safe online and on tumblr specifically. thank you, and i love your blog! <3
sure! welcome to liftblr💕💕💕☺️ also thank you for the opportunity to make this post, i’ve got a few things to add since the last time i made one of these so it might be a long one😅😅
you’ve already got this one down, but i’ll say it for those who need to hear it - turn off likes and follows on your blog. antis can easily find people to harass through these avenues, and while they can do the same scrolling through your blog there’s no need to make their jobs easier
another one that you’ve got down okay: don’t use common lifting tags. that is, shoplift, lifting, liftplay, lyft, etc. even censored ones like lîft are bad as one-word tags since antis are good at recognising patterns like that and using them against us. again, no need to make it easier for them!
don’t like or reblog from outside the community. mistakes happen, but when they do it’s best to immediately delete the reblog before you risk attracting those from outside the community to your blog. this can be hard as ppl from outside often make posts that fit very well with us, and it only takes one reblog to start a chain of everyone breaking this rule. stay vigilant. if you really like a post from outside the community and think it will fit in with us, just screenshot and repost it with a caption stating that it was from the outside. i also like to include the OPs acc name in the picture bc i don’t like to take other ppl’s credit😋 reversely, i tend to block blogs from outside that reblog from me
this probably goes without saying, but don’t interact with ppl from outside even if it’s on a lifting post. interacting with antis only emboldens them, and you’re not going to change their bad opinion of you anyway. just block them and move on
you can go into settings to toggle the visibility of your blog - flicking all the “Visibility” switches on makes it so that your blog can’t be searched up, and also makes it so that people can’t search things within your blog itself. it’s an added layer of protection, and it also removes the need to censor store names in your posts
if you’re not going to change your visibility settings, consider censoring store names in your posts. h&m can become h+m, Victoria’s Secret can be Vïctôrià’s S3crèt, etc. again, it’s just an added layer of protection to stop outsiders from stumbling across your blog
allow some time to pass between lifting your hauls and posting them. if a store you’ve lifted from somehow knows about liftblr this can help muddle up the timelines of your thefts and make it harder for them to identify you
remove exif data from all photos you post. there are apps you can use for this, or you can google how to do it from your computer. maybe invest in a VPN as well to further hide your online signature
when taking haul pics make sure your background isn’t something that can be linked to you. i have special blankets i use specifically for my haul backgrounds so that no one who knows me irl will see it and link it to me. i’ve never taken identifiable pics of my room or surroundings
don’t give out personal info - specific age or area, what you look like, where you work/go to school, what you’re studying, etc. try not to post about irl events when they happen, at least let some time pass before you say anything
if you’ve lifted from a store whose name you haven’t seen on liftblr before, look it up to check its name isn’t location-specific. chain stores will sometimes name their branches different things in order to make it seem smaller and more friendly to the locals, and listing said name during a haul post might inadvertently give away your location. i have done this before😔😔
you’ve already got a lifting blog, but for anyone starting out: use a throwaway email address to create your blog - one you don’t use for anything else and isn’t linked to you in any way. create an entirely new blog instead of using a side blog. i do this with other platforms too - the discord acc i use to join lifting servers is specifically for lifting only. same thing with my peach acc
lifting can carry over from tumblr to other sites, especially if you lift to boost online. try to make any online boosting accs anonymous - use a username that isn’t linked to you and a picture of something/one else. like with your hauls, try to mix the order in which you post new listings to avoid having stolen merch traced back to you. if you intend to post duplicate items (e.g. makeup palettes), delete old listings before you post new ones to avoid having them all visible on your store. if you sell clothes, try to avoid selling duplicate items, and focus on a set size range so they don’t wildly vary. avoid selling items that all have price tags still attached - that’s sus by itself
if you’re interested in finding a lifting buddy here, don’t just jump straight in with the personal info. antis tend to be a lil impatient and less dedicated to lifting convos than actual lifters. take some time to get to know the person first - i talked with liftblurred (rip💔) for about half a year, i think, before we finally met to lift together. obviously you don’t have to be as slow-burn as that tho skkssks
i think that’s everything i’ve got! i’m sure that if i’ve missed anything someone will reblog or comment with additions😊✨✨ i rly hope you have fun here❤️❤️❤️
How I sleep at night knowing I'll probably end up in jail one day for stealing materialistic things that can never make me truly happy or fix my mommy issues:
😴😴😴
if you have multiple s/t/a/r/b/u/c/k/s in your area go through the drive thru and say something like “hi, i got a drink earlier at (street name) at just realized they messed it up. is there any chance you guys could replace it?” because of covid they won’t likely won’t ask for the other drink back
just act really apologetic it works 9 times out of 10. don’t forget they use slave labor go get ur free coffee babes
did this today to get me and my gf drinks and they asked for the cups i’m-
lady at the window sounded pissed when she gave them to me too and was like “just for future reference we won’t do this again without seeing the other drinks”
jesus fuck what it is with my luck lately
Not to be mean but sometimes you guys talk about having risky situations and super close almost caught stories only to post the haul and it’s something that easily could’ve been lifted somewhere else?? I just read an outrageous almost caught story involving LP only for it to be over a pack of Hubba Bubba gum and a Jojo Siwa bow. Guys, not only use your best skills but use your common sense too, sometimes a haul from a certain store isn’t worth it. If it can be lifted at a Claire’s or HT, go THERE instead of fucking with Kohł’s of all places.
Yeee my dudes - sometimes you can even get it at that store AT A DIFFERENT TIME so don’t go in with a “now or never” mentality cause you CAN
Come back again
Go to a different location
Go to a different store
Do NOT risk getting caught over something avoidable!
STEAL FROM G00DW!LL
they are a company who pays disabled people less then minimun wage so they don’t have to pay fucking taxes.there job training program, is training disable people to work at goodwill so they don’t have to fucking pay them. they suck balls, it’s good for the earth, and vintage is in.
things to know about taking shit from g00dwill
nothing is tagged
because everything is used and random, it’s basiclly impossible to tell if something is yours or not if you rip the sales tag off. use this to your advanage.
some stores have cameras, some don’t. make a blind spot by kneeling buy a clothing rack, going to a dressing room or bathroom, or leaning over something. cameras are never watched from what I’m aware of.
it’s not odd to take non-clothing items into bathrooms/dressing rooms. this is because if someone takes it there isn’t another one
walkouts are super easy because stores are understaffed and emplyeees don’t care. you can total wear stuff out of the store.
some stores have lp, but it’s not common
Rob them blind. :)
dollar general also makes a point to build multiple locations in rural areas and destroy their economy before closing all but the most profitable store.
fuck dollar general all my homies hate dollar general
Sooooo who wants to go kill dollar general????
TO ALL BABY LIFTERS
The adrenaline you’re feeling? The rush of emotion that you can literally have anything you want for free? It. Will. Pass. Don’t get cocky and get caught because of it. Your life is not worth a material item.
I used to be so overwhelmed that I could literally have anything for free. Now I’m chill about it. I don’t worry about getting “everything” I want in one haul. I can always go back to that store another time.
Don’t get greedy as a beginner. Don’t let your feelings take over. Stay safe :)
Let’s Get Something Straight
Good Reasons To L!ft:
you need adrenaline/serotonin/dopamine etc.
you’re poor asf and you want nice things
you have a mental illness and this is a non-harmful coping mechanism
you’re an anarchist/activist and want to fuck up chains
you genuinely like doing it for yourself
Reasons to NEVER FUCKING L!FT:
for the vine/tiktok/notes/likes/clout
as revenge against someone in particular
because you were pressured into doing it by somebody else
Seriously y’all. There are lots of good reasons to l!ft shit. There are lots of safe ways to do it. But please remember that this shit is ILLEGAL and you can get ARRESTED FOR IT. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GET BIG HAULS JUST FOR THE CLOUT. PLEASE BE SMART.
THANK
so I’m going to get some shit for this, but just because you are steal it doesn’t mean it’s suddenly not mass consumption. just because you didn’t pay for it doesn’t mean it wasn’t made in a sweatshop. just becuase you didn’t pay for it doesn’t mean the plastic it’s made of isn’t going to stick around for the next 10 thousand years destorying the water supply.
there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. that doesn’t mean consume massive amounts of shit your not even going to use because it doesn’t matter, that means get less shit, and make sure the shit you are getting is worth having.
Sęphørâ lifting tips🪐
We can all agree that Sêphørå is the worst of the worst when it comes to lifting. The two times i’ve ever gotten caught was AT śéphòrå and I used that experience to practically get away every single time now 🤪
When you first arrive, act normal and shop around. Do NOT bring a big bag with you or you will be immediately suspected. I carry my tiny everyday crossbody bag bc I won’t be using it anyway.
I like to smell perfumes and test some makeup before I do anything. DO NOT and I mean DO NOT attempt to steal full size bottles of perfume. Once you’re in the perfume section looking at the big bottles, you’re going to have eyes all over you no matter where you go with that bottle. I keep it safe and if I DO want perfume, I take the mini travel ones bc they’re never tagged and I just slip them into my sleeve.
When lifting here, the only method I swear by and ONLY use, is the sleeve method. Practically every item there will fit in your sleeve. I like to wear an oversized Sherpa jacket with sleeves tight enough that items don’t fall out, and open enough that I can slip things super easily in them. Since it’s Sherpa, it’s so much fuzz no one is going to notice your sleeve dangling full with stuff. I’m able to act completely normal and even go up to the register and buy stuff without the stuff in my sleeve bringing attention.
When you do the sleeve method. DO NOT just pick up and item, and immediately slip it in your sleeve. I like to pick up an item and smell or test the testers before I grab something else, and as I’m WALKING around, I’ll slip it into my sleeve. Whoever is watching you Is going to be so distracted with you holding other stuff and you walking, that they aren’t going to notice you’re slipping something in your sleeve, especially if you’re not acting suspicious or nervous and shoving everything at once, that’s how you get caught.
Don’t get greedy. Seriously. That’s how you get caught. I made for myself so that I take 4 items max of whatever size there now, and that’s if I only need it. I’ve been able to take OLAPLEX shampoos and makeup of whatever size I really wanted with this method and never took more than what I actually wanted.
I never stay there for too long, or else you become suspicious. Once I take what I want, I head straight to the register and look at all the travel size items they have on a shelf at the line. Usually once you’re in that area, it’s practically an amazing blind spot since #1, whoever is watching you sees you’re in line to “pay”, #2, there’s no cameras in that area except the once’s facing the registers in case of emergencies. Anyone whose working will not bother you because you’re looking at all the travel size stuff in that area and they think you’re paying.
I like to stay there for a minute or two and then leave immediately after. My Sephora is always busy so the workers will always be occupied with other people and won’t notice you just leaving immediately after. Once they see you’re in line, all attention to you is gone.
This is basically my method I use to get away all the time with at šêphòrã. I never get sussed no matter who I’m with or what I’m wearing. Take this info with a grain of salt and always be careful.
This is my first time uploading a lifting advice post, sorry if it’s messy and hard to understand.
Omg! 🙌🏻 I can totally vouch for this. I’ve also been caught a few times at Sephora. I especially agree with the info about bringing a big bag and eyes being on you with perfume. They always watch you when you have perfume in your hands. Also be super careful because the floor it has really good LP
