    Ugh. Can I just say how much I fucking HATE how every single fucking product on the market today is a cheap, broken, barely functional piece of shit.

    I swear to God the number of times I have to FIX something BRAND NEW that I JUST PAID FOR is absolutely ridiculous.

    I knew I should’ve been an engineer, how easy must it be to sit around and make shit that doesn’t work?

    Fucking despicable. Do better or die, manufacturers.

    “What I do sympathize with and would like to see reduced in harm is the consumerist culture that pressures people with less means into feeling like they have to have such things for fulfillment.”

    We’re saying the same exact thing. You just went on a long preachy monologue first to try to make yourself seem smarter/superior to others, while simultaneously being denigrative towards the people you’re addressing, which is the exact thing you’re preaching about not doing. Furthermore, you didn’t even reply to the right person, I’m not the one who chose to disagree with someone only to then say the exact thing they just said.

    Everyone in this thread is just repeating the same thing I said yet somehow I’m the asshole. Get a grip, people.

    “If you meant to say something else”

    I did say something else. I don’t know what comment you think you read.

    “That’s not what you said originally” Yes it is.

    “We disagree with your original point/agree with your new point”

    It’s the same point, and you clearly agree with it so what are you trying to accomplish here?

    I didn’t say not to buy quality shoes, but those are $100 max, if someone spends more on a logo, they’re a chump.

    When you’re older than 15, your reading comprehension will improve and you’ll be better able to understand what grownups mean with their words.

    Lmao no sympathy for anyone who buys expensive shoes. You’re gonna cram your stinky feet in them then stomp around in the dirt. May as well buy designer toilet paper.

    Edit: alright then ya’ll keep buying $600 shitkickers because they have a picture of a rich guy on the side or Limited Edition blorange-colored laces.

    Buy decent shoes that last well and provide good support. Anything else is stupid.





  • “About a third of the problem” So, not the primary cause (or solution.)

    https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms2380

    “We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality.”

    The article also states the following regarding more popular studies in the media involving pet cats: “The magnitude of mortality they cause in mainland areas remains speculative, with large-scale estimates based on non-systematic analyses and little consideration of scientific data”
