Just because you’ve adapted to the lies doesn’t make them ok, nor the best version of what is possible

Negative hype can kill a product that could have been good.
Positive false hype can deceive people into wasting money.
Sure, complete honesty would be ideal, but if you say “well it sucks right now but we promise it will be ok when you buy it”, not many people would rush to order one.
And they shouldn’t. It’s just another way of saying “people acting rationally based on truthful information”
Many good products never made it to market because of insufficiently good perception.
That should be a separate issue. It’s not the only available path, just one often taken because it’s the most forgiving of shoddy business practices, doesn’t justify its existence, either.
On the flip side, creating positive hype out of smoke and mirrors can be used to kill a competitor’s product for no good reason, so it’s not quite ok either.
I think people are starting to realize the depth of corporate deception and bad-faith practices and how that affects everyone at large, and so they’re rightly tired of them and trying to reset it all back to simple, effective, and fair ethical standards.

Yeah, without a disclaimer and evidence it’s modeled correctly it’s just straight misinformation at this point.

So it hasn’t gone down in the sense of the actual purchasing power for the average person. Meaning price inflation.
- Comment on I realized why I like friendships with lesbians 11 months ago:
You’re deeply uncomfortable with other men being open about attraction banter with you? To each their own, but it’s not necessarily a virtue.
The rest is technically fine, but weird that no-one was talking about it. Very soapbox-y. On a separate point, I never see women being this careful when talking about men anywhere. Doesn’t make misogyny ok, but generalizations are one of those highly contextual topics where black and white assumptions about anyone don’t seem to quite work out all of the time.

I mean, is this 16-year-old working full time in this half-assed scenario of yours? Get serious.
- Comment on Do guys that tip cam models hundreds of dollars week after week think that model actually likes them? 11 months ago:
we literally had a bunch of underpaid minimum wage employees being pressured to work and take the risk on getting infected through the pandemic because they were essential to the fucking economy and logistics of our daily lives, yet we don’t want to recognize that as essential anymore because someone else has brainwashed you into it for no reason you’ve been able to elaborate. The 16-year-old needs to be compensated at the same rate as someone who does it for a living, proportional to the hours they work. It’s kinda wild how you’re angling to argue for underpaid child labor. This guy’s gotta be one dusty mf to think like that.

Yes, but spending the money creates more of an incentive and more pressure to figure out how to skimp on payouts

Yeah, like I’ve always tipped the “standard” (15% here) as the minimum in the worst cases, my standard is 20-25% or more depending on the bill and time of service, et cetera; and they still had their panties in a wad over the idea that their brilliant shortcuts weren’t that brilliant and that someone might still see through them or at least appropriately judge their service over them, intentional or not.
- Comment on When someone starts with I'm not racist it usually means they are. 11 months ago:
Sometimes if I really want to get someone’s attention, I’ll start a sentence with something like, “I’m not racist, but…”
I say, “I’m not racist, but you look great today.” They say, “That wasn’t racist at all.” I said, “I know. I said I’m not racist. You never listen. Typical Mexican.” ~ Demetri Martin
