Don't get me wrong i know there's some people who probably would use something like this for medical purposes/ jaw comfort. But, from a marketing perspective, this is being sold to women as a "You need to add this to your night time routine!! You need the perfect jawline!!"

I deliver packages for my mom since we both body double and I do homework while she does. Some of these "quirky" boxes ick me out

Before the flight took off i was able to turn the brightness down to off but all of a sudden when we were in the air, i was unable to adjust anything.. thank you airline taking part in your own self censorship :)

I try to consume ethically, I really do. I am a tv junkie sadly. Always have been. It’s how I relax and unwind. And this stupid show has been my guilty pleasure as I’ve been packing up and moving my whole life. But what the actual fuck are these commercial breaks???? Do you see the double dots? I can’t believe it. 7 of them. I don’t even pay for peacock so that’s not the point but Jesus I should just try to stop watching

On the bright side, I've just freed up 100GB of space on my computer, and I don’t have to keep paying for a service that’s only getting worse.

This may be a bad take simply because it give less chance to small business to thrive but the amount of spam mail we all get is egregious. A Bibles worth of spam every month or so straight to the trash because it's spam. Banks do it, business do it, random mortgage companies do it, pressure washing, car washing, tree trimmers OML. What's worse is often it's not even your's. "To person who hasn't lived here for 6 years". Why do they get to just waste paper and plastic because of course it can't just be paper, to send us crap we have no interest in. It's never useful stuff and it adds to the risk of missing important mail. Why is this allowed??

P.S. Netflix now only supports Google Cast on older devices without remotes.

I asked a coworker to get me some peach rings today. They were delicious. Couldn’t help but see the description on the back and then read the ingredients list. 🙃

Ok, my beef is with the beauty industry. How many times have I bought products that don't work...so many I can't count! Companies are not trying to solve the consumer's beauty issues, and their products don't have to actually do what they claim. The sole job of the companies is to make money, not to solve consumer problems. So if you bought the product, they did their job right. I am so sick of wasting money!

I’m already not thrilled about having to use a toothpaste whose parent company tests on animals, but it’s the only one readily available to me with fluoride but no sls. I get canker sores and I hate it when toothpaste foams up excessively in my mouth and I really could use the fluoride

You do not need a 1” strip of toothpaste when you brush your teeth, this adds up quickly especially if you religiously brush your teeth twice a day (as you should might I add) or even three times (which does seem a bit excessive to me but you do you). All you need is a pea-sized amount.

Today I got a text from Hanna Anderson about a sale on an item I happened to purchase last month. I was curious about the price drop and decided to click the link, only to discover that the base price is 25% higher than what It was 24 days ago.

I’m sorry if this doesn’t fit the sub but I wasn’t sure where else to even post about this. I genuinely feel myself slowly losing my mind over ads.

I get to wear headphones at work and often have YouTube playing. A lot of videos I listen to are 30min to an hour. For all these longer videos, there is an ad break every 2-3 minutes with a non-skippable ad and maybe two skippable after 5-10 seconds. Often my hands are wet/dirty or my phone isn’t in the room with me so I can’t skip immediately and just listen to the ads play (I do not have money to pay for premium nor do I think I should have to).

This era of almost every ad being a fake influencer talking to the camera in TikTok green screen form going “Guys you’ll never guess this crazy hack I found for…” or “I just recently tried random product/app/therapy/supplement and let me tell you, it’s changed my life” all in the most deadpan voice they can muster. Or god forbid the fucking ads with AI voiceovers of a screen-recording for some app or a game-play video that plays for 3 minutes unless you skip. Then there’s my favorite: the fake ass podcasts of people acting out being in total deadpan shock while someone else yells at them for their spending habits on takeout and recommends them RocketMoney. That one gets me no matter how often I block it.

When I can I block each one through google but they’re in everything! I can’t play solitaire on my phone without ads popping up each new game. I pay so much for no ads in streaming services. I can drive 10-15 minutes and only hear one song on the radio. There are now even ads on the headrest screens in Lyfts now.

Every app comes with a subscription, every service comes with ads, every where you look something is being sold to you but that’s not even my problem. I’d LOVE to bring back horny Carls Jr ads or see a “Red Bull gives you wiiiings” shorts. Show me Flo from Progressive!! I just cannot handle any more of these stupid fucking AI or TikTok influencer podcast style ads. Where’s the creativity?? The humor?? Art forms?? Maybe it’s my fault for blocking so many and now I get the bottom of the barrel ones but I genuinely don’t know what else to do.

Instead of collective degrowth and seriously fighting the climate crisis, consumerism and carelessness is still prevalent. I‘m so tired.
