  • To be fair, most are. At the end of the day, today’s economy makes it far more profitable to choose either extremely cheap or extremely expensive, making good, lasting, but not perfect products is just not what consumers seem to want. People eother want something cheap that works okay, or something really well made that justifies the price.

    I feel like 99% of products I interact with get me frustrated with their simple-to-fix design flaws.

    But as for your question: fucking toothpaste containers! Could you make a more frustrating and intentionally bad design?? Why is it that if I cut them open I can get like another few days to a week of brushing? Why not put tooth paste in a jar with a little spoon? Or an opening that is small so that the amount that is left after squeezing your best, is truly insignificant? Why. Must. I. Suffer?




  • you are maybe talking about statistics and “the avarage person” but this doesn’t mean anything to individuals, especially when talking about something as big as the USA. While I am a privilaged person and don’t pretend to be in some terrible position, this does not change the fact that the USA is so capitalistic that “the avarage person” is meaning-less, maybe a median person would be better and I’m willing to bet that a median person in the USA is not doing nearly as well as an avarage person.

    But in any case, I don’t care about statistics, this wasn’t a question of statistics, this was a question of feelings. I am aware that the USA is big and that even if one state is bad there are still plenty of options, some of which might be great. BUT, there is still the federal goverment that is currently scary and facist, so…








  • I think that because of hypersexualization in society, which includes, for example, sexualization of nudity, has led to a situation where anything related to sex that deviates from the so-called norm, is lumped together. This also leads to transgender people who support helping young people with gender dysphoria or just want to raise awareness and make transgenderism not be a taboo and therefore also be taught in schools/talked about in public, to be lumped together with anyone who associates sex with children. of course the sex part in transgender people talks about gender while the sex part in pedophiles talks about sexual intercourse, and these people are so close-minded that to them talking about sex and children instantly means pedophilia.

    I think it’s similar to people who consider nudist families to be incestual.

    Of course there are also those who just can’t accept anything that is different from them and therefore just blame them at being the worst possible thing they can think of that they see any sort of connection to. For example, people call other races monkeys because they are too different to them to consider them human and so they are more related to something that isn’t human but is similar, and importantly inferior.
