All technology becomes degraded over time. Enshittification is real.

They keep letting me onto planes!

Flying and being tall is a nightmare.

I’m 6’2" and I dated a woman taller than me. That was very odd not having to look down or crouch to hug. lol

I dated one woman who was so much shorter compared to me our favorite time to kiss was on the stairs.

My favorite height in a woman is the height of the woman who is interested in me.

“You forgot your wife’s birthday again. Why can’t you be more like your cousin Jeffery? You need to lose weight.”

“Shut up!!”

It registers when my thumb brushes against the screen for a nanosecond but when I want it to register a press I have to tap the screen like a maniac.

The rule was if you wanted the grad students to come to a talk you had to put out little cubes of cheese.

Predominantly? Seems to be 100% and many times they are contradicted by the article. At this point I assume a fear headline is overblown bullshit. Also health headlines are always the same crap repeated over and over.

which the content provider gets paid for regardless of whether you even see the ads.

I don’t understand why businesses waste their money on buying these garbage ads. Pissing away their ad dollars.

Yah, I’ll trust him like running into a dog that nipped my hand before.

People with strong food philosophies and beliefs act in a manner similar to religious zealots. They preach, condemn those who don’t believe, have food “sins”, are closed minded, etc.

Diet and religion have always gone hand in hand.

So how would anyone benefit from their creativity? I certainly wouldn’t invent anything if I knew some big company could just steal it.

Yup. If you are bought by anything with “capital” or “equity” in its name you are fucked.

All business have to care about profit or they won’t be in business for long. Also if you want employees to get good pay/benefits and such they have to charge more and in turn you can’t shop for the cheapest.

That said I think the concern comes when they start trying to squeeze every last cent out regardless of the customer relationship and long term image. As soon as a company goes public you now have a board that will get rid of you if you don’t push stock values up another percent. Even if you want to have long term growth and goodwill the board is pushing for profit growth targets this quarter and they pay mostly in shares too. I find the best corporate customer/profit balance comes from private firms.

They are great socks, my favorites. I can’t wear the things out. They are an example of paying up front to save in the long run.
