- Comment on Liquid Death Quietly Adds Stevia to Tea Drinks 5 days ago:
According to the actual Aluminum Association, only 43% of aluminum cans shipped within the United States are recycled.
- Comment on Liquid Death Quietly Adds Stevia to Tea Drinks 5 days ago:
Not only that, but unless you can guarantee that a significant portion users will recycle those aluminum cans, they are significantly more energy intensive to manufacture compared to single use plastic bottles.
- Comment on Many workers would take a pay cut to work from home — some would forgo at least 20% of their salary 1 week ago:
Yeah, work from the homeless shelter. /s
People should be paid more, not less. There’s enough wealth hoarding to prove the money is there.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
As long as individuals are allowed to hoard hundreds of billions (soon, trillions) of dollars that they couldn’t possibly use in 1000 years, then this will never end.
We need to cap personal wealth, and it needs to be a number so low that any one person can’t take over a country like Nazi Musk is doing at this very moment.
There is absolutely no reason why we have homeless people, people who can’t afford medication, kids who are hungry, and students who have to choose between education and a roof over their head.
These problems exist because there are literal trillionsof dollars being hoarded by a few people, when it should have been distributed to everyone who actually earned it.
- Comment on Costco Increases Pay to Over $30 an Hour for Most Store Workers 3 weeks ago:
Walmart Canada also announced they’ll be raising hourly wages, but I don’t think it’s anywhere near $30 an hour. That’s wild!
- Comment on Dell is making everyone return to office, too 3 weeks ago:
I should remind everyone that this is one of the most unethical ways to handle the people who have made money for the company they served for years. Any company that uses this strategy deserves to be bankrupt, and their leadership be made poor.
If they can’t treat their employees like human beings, they deserve no future success.
- Comment on Lord Sugar tells workers to get bums back into the office - BBC News 3 weeks ago:
Lord Sugar also owns the property empire Amsprop, which has a portfolio of prime central London office space.
And that’s why he wants people back in the office. Self-serving prick.
- Comment on You have got to be kidding me... 3 weeks ago:
Made entirely of fool’s gold.

- Comment on The words "diversity", "equity" and "inclusion" seem to be blocked from NIH website's search function 4 weeks ago:
Who, what the actual fuck. They are 100% doing that by choice.
For example, this comes up on duckduckgo search:
And clicking on that link suddenly gives this, as if it never existed:
To make sure this wasn’t just old search data, I went to the internet archive.
As of Jan 20th (the last archived copy), that About page was still up. So, it got taken down in the last few days.
You can say that’s a coincidence, but good luck trying to explain that among 100 other things that Nazis did these past few days.
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
Oh man, I’ve had their online cart show me a total amount “saved” that makes absolutely no sense.
It’s crazy that one of the largest retailers on the planet is so incapable of having a working online ordering system.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 4 weeks ago:
Well, I can say that if I dare use YouTube without an account, things spiral to the extreme right very quickly! It’s as if these companies are either purposely pushing this agenda, or they are being paid to from outside influences.
- Comment on I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want 4 weeks ago:
I get an ad for a crypto app! (Canada).
I do have my privacy settings locked down, so they are listing non-targeted ads.
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
I think you missed the point. If they were both the same size jar (2kg or 1kg, it doesn’t matter), then there may be a difference in price between regular and lite.
But the 1k jar is listed as being less expensive per 100g, and that’s flat out wrong when you do the math.
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
If it’s a “bug” that they are actively profiting from, likely for years, it’s probably a feature! LOL
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
Second item is 1KG.
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
We usually get 100% peanuts, which can go… Dry.
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
If you’re shopping by weight, you’re probably not getting either of these. You’re getting those massive jars that are like 15lbs, and come in almost mini barrels.
I tend to buy the max size that my family can reasonably eat before the item goes bad. 2kg is the largest size at this store, but I think anything larger would just be impractical, and I KNOW FOR 10000% FACT that my wife would just drop something heavier on the ground. LOL
Also, unrelated, but WHY are you getting creamy when EXTRA CRUNCHY exists?
I was looking for 100% peanuts in the crunchy variety!
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
Top one is 2kg (single unit) and the bottom is sold as a 1 kg single unit, or 2 / $12 (2 x 1kg), which is STILL not a better value than the top one! LOL
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
I was actually looking for 100% peanut butter, but this discrepancy caught my eye, and it really bothered me because I almost always ignore the product price and compare items by unit price. Now I’m second guessing everything they list!
- Comment on If you shop by unit prices, double check the math! 4 weeks ago:
Not sure if you’re Canadian, but we have a brand called “President’s Choice”… oh god.

I refuse to believe this is real.
But if it is, here’s to hoping a time traveler from the futures saves us all before things really go Fourth Reich.
- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 4 weeks ago:
These companies are insufferable.
- Comment on My main use of ai. 5 weeks ago:
Man, before “AI” became a marketing gimmick,
Samsung Note devices allowed you to use the S-pen to circle text and extract it.
I remember using this feature at least a decade ago!
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 5 weeks ago:
Gemini: “I can’t help you! I only work here!”
- Comment on "Family Size" has no meaning anymore 5 weeks ago:
Family sized, if your a single parent with no kids 😂
- Comment on The Top 3 Apps in my Country (Venezuela) are all VPNs... 5 weeks ago:
I wonder how much of that ‘education’ is from ads and influencers constantly pushing VPNs. LOL
- Comment on The Top 3 Apps in my Country (Venezuela) are all VPNs... 5 weeks ago:
I wonder if people know why they are downloading and using a VPN. Especially when you’re talking about the more sketchy ones.
- Comment on We got several more inches of snow last night after getting over seven a few days ago. I went to my local newspaper's website to find out if there was anything I should know. This was their top story. 5 weeks ago:
My local online newspaper constantly has articles (sponsored articles) about casinos and gambling.
The enshittification of news really accelerated over the last several years.
