Oooh… that’s what Spirit forgot to do. Beat up their passengers. They were offering an incomplete experience.

Gee, it’s almost like offering absolute shit service, making everything an additional fee, constantly canceling flights, and never being on-time is a poor business model. Who knew?

How I imagine Elon’s taking the news:

Part of it is that there’s less hidden costs. I like it when it’s just “the total is $30” instead of “there’s $8 shipping and a $2 service fee and then $4 in taxes and…”

I’ve also seen some online stores lure in a customer with a really cheap initial price and then on the last page just slam them with insane shipping and handling fees hoping that the customer either doesn’t notice or feels too invested at this point to cancel their purchase.

But yes, part of it is also people are stupid when they see the word “free” as if the store wouldn’t move the cost somewhere else.

We know. They didn’t work during his first term. They won’t work now.

Agree. I hate this “further processed” crap. Processed how? At least show the unedited source image too.

(though I don’t think that will continue from next year somehow).

Yeah, might be hard to follow FDA regulations when the FDA gets dismantled and no longer exists… eye twitch

Most certainly! They surely won’t completely dismantle the FDA and then allow big-pharma to dictate everything. /s

In the US, you can still get the stuff containing pseudoephedrine but you have to go to the pharmacy and ask for it and then show your ID. Out of curiosity, what’s the process in Australia?

Dude, what are you even talking about?

I said it was good they banned the ineffective ingredient so now they should do something about banning homeopathy. You said, “Ummm they did? That is what this banned, an advertised effective treatment that does nothing” but they did NOT ban homeopathy, just that one specific ingredient which had nothing to do with homeopathy. Now you’re talking as if the first comment you said was something completely different.

So please, tell me what argument you’re actually trying to make.

I’ve gotten into the habit of checking active ingredients after almost accidentally buying something homeopathic that was immediately adjacent the thing I actually meant to grab.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me you didn’t read the article.

Seriously dude, you just had to read the first sentence. They only banned one particular ingredient.

Good. Now do something about homeopathy. I’m so sick of having to explain to people that homeopathy is not medicine in any shape or form. It’s not even a home remedy. And it sits right next to actual medicine so people might accidentally buy it unwittingly.

I get what you’re saying but the forgetful customer is explicitly what they said they want, which is dumb any way you look at it. Many times you’re forced into signing up for subscription, or coerced under the guise of a free trial. Now this wouldn’t be as bad if they came back and were like, “hey we see you haven’t used our service in a while, do you still need it?” rather than just leeching money from the user. The system is designed to purposely allow the user to make these errors and that’s wrong any way you want to shape it.

Fage is definitely my favorite yogurt. I’m always like “how the fuck is this so God damn good? It has virtually no sugar or anything added”

Also in case you didnt know, for many reduced fat items they just end up adding more sugar.

Stop Tucker, I was already voting for Kamala.

“If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing.”

I heard this before and it is becoming more true each day.

I worked at Amazon and the head of Ring said their best customers were people who bought a subscription and then put the camera in a drawer and forgot about it. They don’t even want to provide you a service. They want you to absentmindedly give them money every month because you forgot to cancel.

You should. The next time you want to use it, it’ll probably do some bullshit. Better to be rid of it now than be coerced into giving HP money in the future. If you need a printer, replace it with whatever Brother laser printer is on sale at the moment.

The most surprising thing is it wasn’t United Airlines itself beating up the passenger.
