A humble grain amongst the beach of rants
Look, I’m all for being well-informed. But nowadays you can’t buy a can of fucking pringles without having to go down a 30-45 minute rabbit-hole of research learning about the chip market, how to make a chip, what makes a good chip, and how to identify if the chips are made of toxic materials that could kill you or give you fucking cancer.
I DON’T WANT TO LEARN EVERYTHING THERE IS ABOUT FUCKING CHIPS JUST TO MAKE A SIMPLE PURCHASE GODDAMMIT!
This isn’t necessarily about chips, it’s just an example. I say all of this now because I am trying to buy a mattress and it’s actually just so fucking depressing. Evidently it’s a gamble on whether or not the company is being truthful about not putting fiberglass in them? Fucking fiberglass? In my $2k mattress? Go fuck yourself.
And to echo what others have said, the quality of everything has gone significantly down while the cost has gone exponentially up. And the subscriptions holy SHIT. Back in the day you could buy something and that be IT. DONE DEAL. Nowadays you can’t wipe your ass without being asked to subscribe to the ass-wipers pro membership (no ads).
None of this can be good for us as a species. People wonder why we are seeing such low birth rates when the constant stress each of us normal people take on in a single day is probably making us infertile.
Anyways, I’ll be eating my poisoned food while laying on my fiberglass bed. Oh and my last $20 just went to the ass-wipers subscription. FUCK
