Why am I being recommended shit I'm not even subbed to?!

I haven't seen this one shared here, but I feel this song is quite accurate for this subreddit.

I have not played Outer Worlds. I just enjoy this song!

I've been thinking about how many products are marketed as absolute necessities now. separate products for your face, neck, eyes, hands, feet, etc. i'm not saying skincare is pointless, but at what point did basic hygiene turn into needing a 12-step routine? has anyone else simplified their routine and found that they weren't missing much? would love to hear everyone's pov on this!

So a couple months ago my Disney plus bundle just went up to $35. Previously $30. Then when I went to cancel it, they offered it for $20 a month! They can afford to lower prices they just choose to take advantage of people. This is ridiculous. It’s disgusting that these companies just take advantage of people while they’re struggling like this. Even when you get the cheaper ad free option, it’s expensive too!! Plus you get to watch 5-6 1-5 minute ads!

Literally, just to be able to watch any NBA game you want for one season, it costs $700 a season legally. For every game. Thats a year of NBA League Pass, ESPN unlimited, peacock premium and Amazon prime because for some reason you can’t watch them all on one service. It can also cost you more if you have an NBA team local, because league pass will black out for any local teams and you’ll have to buy another local service for $100 a season. So it costs $800 a season to watch the NBA if you have a local team! Which by the way, a city with a team can be 4 hours away and still be considered local. It’s insane.

What are these companies even thinking? Pirating is at an all time high, and they wonder why. It’s either pay hundreds and potentially thousands to legally watch a random selection of shows and movies that barely change month to month, or type in a website name and have literally every piece of media available for free.

I wouldn’t even mind supporting streaming if it was reasonable. But it’s not reasonable in the slightest. They’ll get no more support from me. And when they finally decide to reduce prices, I will remember this and will not support them even then

Repairing shoes..

Here is a flyer I received from my local Nissan dealership. It has a battery in it that lights up the plastic game piece. It looks like i won, right, nope, just a tactic to get you into the dealership and your confirmation code doesn't match the winner. This is crazy

I am so SICK of hearing about how it could cost (insert obscene amount of money here) to go green or be sustainable. Money won't mean a damn thing if the planet is inhospitable. I have a theory that most - if not all - of the problems we have (not just environmental issues) have a root cause that is greed, whether it be on an individual scale or a massive one such as corporate greed. I am frustrated with this disposable, greedy culture we are all submersed in. Companies shove propaganda down our throats saying consumerism will make you happy or will make your life better. But it is a lie based on greed. One which is a major cause of the destruction of the natural environment. I am discontent.

I know the question sounds a bit silly, but we all need to work to live. I would prefer spending my time doing things I care about and that will actually contribute to a better future. What’s the uno reverse of being a sales person for single use plastics or private jet user? Originally I wanted to work in environmental policy and management, but life said no. I don’t need some big fancy job or one that can only be done in specific government offices that probably no longer exist in the US. What are “smaller” careers that are surprisingly helpful in the long term? Bonus points if it’s relatively easy to enter the industry. Because the impact of a single person’s daily life is pretty low, it would be nice to get more of us in industries where we can make bigger decisions for entire organizations, even in small ways.
