Yes, they are literally just excuses for shrinkflation and companies only benefit from shitheads like you to give them an easy out.

The world doesn’t revolve around tiny minute details and jargon from a field that doesn’t actually positively affect most people’s lives.

Our kitchen scales are the standard, not your overblown overpriced ones that are too precise to be meaningful to the average consumer.

We are in charge, not you.

🤔 Huh. I didn’t believe you until I measured it out on my own measuring spoons. You’re right. My bad fam

All that speech doesn’t change the fact that your standards don’t matter, ours do, and if our scales don’t match what that package says, you have to put more product in to make it do so or you are defrauding us. Period.

Now come back when you’re ready to meet our standards.

Well, it can’t be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours.

Scale accuracy was never a problem or scrutinized until ow, and successfully helped people lose weight, so it’s not the accuracy of the scales that is an issue.

This is blatant consumer fraud and nothing in your field can change that fact, clearly.

A cup is 32 teaspoons, 3 teaspoons per tablespoon, ergo 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. I know this offhand because:

1. I cook
2. I can count

It’s a base 2 measurement system for the most part. Also highly inefficient and imperfect, but so is metric for cooking.

That does not apply in today’s world where shrinkflation and consumer fraud run rampant.

It us solely the company’s responsibility to ensure each package is labeled with the correct weight, not the consumer to tolerate excuses like “measuing errors” whether they’re valid or not. Companies have too much power to just not know or be able to accurately weigh or label their product, ergo if there’s a problem, they chose to have it in there. And if you dispute that, I will simply block you and move on.

Stop defending evil corporations. Stop doing this.

I’ll take blatant consumer fraud for $500, Alex

Ignore that hopeless shill. People peddle that shit because they’re zealots who don’t care about anyone other than themselves.

Allowing yourself to feel your emotions without care.

There’s nothing wrong with being angry at people who hurt you. You’re kind of supposed to be; that’s what anger is for.

It’s not unhealthy or imprudent or a negative in any wat regardless of what anyone else told you, or society. There’s literally nothing wrong with it and people who tell you there is are being deeply unethical and usually have a political agenda. Ignore them.

Be angry, be sad, be fearful, cry, and be free.

Also you need to do something to hold those scumbags accountable, especially the landlord who tried to run you over. What the fuck? Didn’t you call the cops?

Did you miss the part where I told you to shove it because you think post history is a valid argument that means anything?

Speaking of class: I didn’t have to resort to crying to a mod on you.

Go. Touch. Grass.

I might save up and pick up one of the 32" ones after the holidays.

Thought-terminating cliche

And this is why we buy dumb TVs

You don’t have to determine it. They make it painfully, painfully obvious.

I sincerely wish you were right, but those two are specifically why I’m worried.

That’s the way you sound when you accused BLM protesters of similar things.

They’re stupid if they don’t know those things and refuse to learn them.

People are allowed to call others stupid and be right about it.

People aren’t committing some great sin by doing so.

The idea we are is the idea the willfully ignorant use to manipulate everyone else into accepting their selfish indolence and it needs to stop.

Everyone says that to try to make themselves appear humble, but most of the ones who genuinely say stuff like 90% of the population is stupid tend to be unequivocally not part of the problem.

If only you meant that in an amicable way.

I don’t actively oppose human rights; I just don’t think they work as an idea or a social institution. They don’t protect people from harm in any real meaningful capacity, only love and connection does, and I support stuff that actually does demonstrably protect people.

It really is better to just be one of the populars so no one wants to hurt you. And to have connections so everyone else is dependent on you in some capacity, so people actively suffer if they do try to hurt you.

Human rights cannot and never have accomplished either of those for anyone. We’re not a more peaceful world because of human rights; the same tragedies they were supposed to prevent prevailed and now fascism is taking over the world, and in the next decade we’re going to have the biggest genocides the world has ever seen.

And those same human rights are invoked to tie victims’ hands behind their backs whenever they try to fight back. They’re accused of violating their perpetrator’s human rights and of being equivalent to their oppressor by trying to avenge themselves or get rid of them or even just hold them accountable.

Human rights are a meaningless, unhelpful joke.
