I don't know about you folks but I am just tired of this whole business, I do not really need any new products for anything anymore, most of the food I buy are raw ingredients to prepare meals and snacks myself because these companies have shown us time and time again they cannot be trusted. I will not watch your ads, I will not buy your products, I will not listen to your bullshit corporate promises because you just keep lying to us about everything, so go fuck yourselves
Good for you, but you and me and most of lemmy are not the target group. Millions of gullible braindead consumerists are.
True enough, I am just hopeful that will catch on more and more I suppose, people are capable of doing so much but somehow they've offloaded all the good stuff little by little. I am pro people and I refuse to believe that is not a winning strategy for taking our lives back
I am the same. I don't have a house full of tat, I don't care that my hair is not conditioned to perfection and I am finding the supermarket a real chore, everything is overpriced and over processed.
I am really finding joy in simple stuff...and non 'stuff' consuming hobbies.
Nice :) I'm also a big fan of the new natural lawns people are doing, yes the supermarket is a nightmare now, they have reduced the choices a lot, upped the prices, the quality is not consistent at all, half the times the produce or item I want is out. These are all things they told us would happen under communism lol
Yes that is perfect, and honestly the more worthwhile and rewarding experiences are to be had without stuff; sing to yourself everyday, see what the chipmunks are doing today, read a little, find some new recipes, play a little music. All things that slow the frenzied pace of modern life down a few notches :)
I feel this comment. I buy raw ingredients because they are cheaper, though.
I just got back from treating myself and my partner to 2 coffees, one sandwich, and a small muffin... $40. Forty. Four with a zero after it...
I just can't any longer. I don't make that kind of money. Every year the cost of living increases are less than inflation, and things like gas, food, and power are skyrocketing.
Isn't that just bonkers? You can barely get a meal anywhere for two people under $50 now, I don't make that kind of money either and never did, that's groceries for half a week at the very least.
Bro what? That's fucked. Was it atleast a good sandwich?
