I went to a small town recently and this was it.
The small “boutique” shop absolutely has a Karen-looking gal who was selling things from Temu but with her sticker on it.
Real sad state.
Well I mean, it’s usually one company making 23 bagel flavors. Look at toothpaste. There’s Colgate and then 15 Colgate variants. But if we go higher, the parent company owns 2-5 toothpaste beands, and those toothpaste brands have multiple variants.
And then we go even higher, and those parent companies are actually owned by the same group of people.
I mean if we want to get real about it, do we really want that fake choice either?
I like that a lot. Don’t know if it was a expensive concert but I like going to shows where the ticket price is cheap, and the musicians tell people it’s a work in progress.
It’s weird. I saw Wheatus perform recently and he did a bunch of songs I wasn’t familiar with. Then he played his most famous song, “Teenage Dirtbag”, that they made in like 2000.
The band is like grandparents age, singing a song about teenagers. And it was incredible.
I’m sure it’s some psychology name to it.
Thinking through it from my perspective, it’s because we put up barriers with anything new.
First thought: “Does this fit with what I know this musician for?”
Second thought: “Does this hit the vibe or energy I want?”
Third thought: “What is the hook or thing that makes it memorable?”
If any of them fail, I immediately feel disgusted. Not to say I won’t change my mind.
I work in marketing and it’s not fun anymore please take me off this ride
I want this community now
This is kind of my favorite thing on Lemmy right now.
I used to be part of forums where like one forum, the mod was a person who demanded sources with every comment. So you’d write everything like you’re submitting it to a college professor.
Then another forum, the mod wants everyone to roleplay as their forest animals.
Reddit made us forget how to be weird.
Not to defend this mod, but people go on the internet and do weird internet things for their own reasons.
Don’t take it personally and overthink it.
And from the positive side, your post here made a lot of people laugh. This is the silliest drama I’ve read in weeks and I needed that. Thanks!
It touched me in my P P
Sucks and sorry to hear that. Hope it works out
My 12yo niece asked me if I wanted something from the store. When I went to hand her cash, she said, “Just venmo it”.
Made me think about when we get even closer to digital wallets everywhere and little kids lose their teeth and find a credstick under their pillow.
You okay? Your other comment is also concerning.
But gotta admit that’s really impressive you launched yourself like that! Kudos my dude!
This is the reality. Every company has that one thing you will hate.
But if you’re looking for the place that hits everything you want, that’s a unicorn.
Lincoln Project threw down some real great material.
Of which Elon is just African pretending to be an American.
All th AI bots making posts aren’t helping with growth?
Salute you. It’s about letting people know there’s resistance
