John Green may be a little "cringe" but credit where credit is due at least he's a YA author who made his special interest trying to expand tuberculosis care instead of trying to make a living hell for trans women and other LGBTQ+s

I fucking despise when things fake being higher quality than they are. I don't mean like slapping a slightly misspelled brand name onto an identical non-designer product for purely aesthetic reasons I mean like rivets or thread that are actually glued down rather than punched or stitched. Fake pockets on jeans that are actually just an extra seam. Heavy looking chain that's plastic or very soft flimsy metal rather than anything sturdy. I bought boots which looked like they had a stitched sole 8 months ago and lo and behold the glue holding the sole on is revealing itself by falling apart. You PUT a STITCH IN THERE. YOU HAD THE NEEDLE AND THREAD. AND YOU DIDNT ACTUALLY STITCH DOWN THE FUCKING SOLES. Oh it makes me so mad. Cheap cunts taking the aesthetics of durability or practicality while handing you a product that won't last you the year

Electronics made of plastic with lead weights in them to make them feel heavier and sturdier.

Conversely, devices marketed as the "lightest and thinnest" with deliberately wasteful excess packaging, so the heavy box makes the gadget feel lighter.

Greenwashing falls into this category too, like "eco-friendly recycled cardboard" shampoo bottles that are just a sleeve over a regular plastic bottle. "Vegan Leather" is plastic. "Organic" does not mean free of pesticides or artificial fertilizers.

Similarly, "Fair Trade" stamps that actually pay the farmers about equal or even less than what they'd be making otherwise when you dig into it (they don't make it easy).

Using terms that sound high-quality but aren't regulated. "waygu beef" on a label from walmart means nothing.

Packaging that hides how little of something you actually get. False bottoms that make the bottle shallower. Labels that hide the gap between products. Boxes that are mostly cardboard spacers.

Physical items purchased in a store that are just a box with a code for a 1 time digital download that can't be shared or resold.

Kits/sets that have "100 pieces" but 30 of them are connectors and adapters that are required to make some of the others work because they're nonstandard sizes.

Pretty much every stat in the marketing about consumer electronics is a lie. Your phone's processor can only go that fast for ~5 seconds before it downclocks to avoid overheating. It makes no difference how many megapixels your phone's camera has, the lenses are tiny and shit quality, and the operating system just plans on running the result through an AI model to "fix" the resulting low quality image. "Battery life" estimates are pretty much meaningless.

something i have been doing recently is asking new people i meet, work with, etc for their card, or i take personal business cards when available, get as many as possible, and then constantly offer people "my card" which is just a random card from the ones ive collected.

being gay in the early 2010s was crazy people would walk up to you and say "did you know neil patrick harris is gay" and that would be the whole sentence

Police vs law enforcement

Look I used to work with tow truck guys and they do not give a fuck. One time the Air Force was doing a recruiting stunt and they decided to bring a plane as like…a prop? I dunno and they parked it in a 20 minute loading zone and 21 minutes later my coworkers IMPOUNDED THE PLANE.

[synebluetoo]

Have you ever had an Air Force general call your office and bitch? He did not expect the tow truck guys.
