You don't have to not use it. You just have to not consistently use the app for 6 months. This is not about the users. Its about the abuse of the users. Regardless of if they did or did not use it for 6 months, the company should not force things upon you at random. I don't understand the mentality of attacking people who are ignorant of the evils companies do. We all walk different paths, and no one learns without being taught.
We should not be shaming the consumers, but educating them. The blame is on the companies for making such a terrible product in the first place, the consumer only found out how bad it was after. Sometimes, you can no longer return a product because its X days out of policy.
Not that I don't completely agree with your sentiment, but to make people start advocating for themselves, you have to make them see you are a friend, and the company is the enemy.
(not that the oop would ever see this post, comment or reply because who on twitter is also using lemmy, but you get it right?)
No one is eating a banana as a main course. You are purposefully making false equivalences. Not to Mention the fact bananas are 54c per lb. You just took the lowest number you saw to get an "Own".
Here's Ramen for 50 cents. Something that is eaten as an actual main course across hundreds of American colleges.
Over the three years since 2019, the cost of food and drinks has escalated, particularly in the most recent year, with the prices of healthy foods and drinks increasing at almost double the rate of increase in prices of unhealthy items.
“The data very clearly says, there is this fixed high cost for fresh fruit and vegetable, which is not there for other products,” Thijs Van Rens, one of the authors of the Warwick study told CNBC
A recent study found that following the MyPlate Dietary Guidelines would cost a family of four between $1,000-$1,200 a month ($12,000.00-$14,400 annually) depending on the age of the family members and the percentage of fruits and vegetables that were fresh, frozen, and canned (Mulik & Haynes-Maslow, 2017). For a comparison, the average middle income family in the United States spends roughly $6,224 on food each year with the average low income family spending even less at roughly $3,862 per year (USDA, 2017). With this information in mind, following these recommendations may not be feasible for the typical family.
And just for good measure let's throw it back to you. I would love to see a source on how junk food is more expensive than vegetables in countries where obesity is an epidemic. That means no countries that actually tax processed foods to make the healthier option more affordable.
Edit: and you think Im not going to go out and find the sources? Dumbass.
You genuinely think that a majority of obese people are obese because they eat large amounts of food at a time, and not due to the large amounts of trans-fats, sodium and corn syrup used in processed foods? Sounds to me like you've never been poor honestly. Never been in a country where natural food is expensive and hard to come by. Consider yourself blessed and keep being ignorant if you so please.
counterpoint, fat shaming exists and is just as prevalent (probably more so) than heigh shaming. Another note: The countries with the highest amount of obesity are also the countries with the least amount of regulation and taxes on food processing. Just the same how the countries with the highest rates of drug problems are the ones who don't focus on rehabilitation and prevention as much as criminalization.
i mean, I'll take anything I can own at this point. Everything is either a subscription or a license now, I'll be lucky to afford the upkeep to inherit a relatives house.
The switch 2 dock is $120. Thats why 3rd party docks. Regardless if the reason a person wants to buy one, it should not be $120. Its a PCB with like 2 chips, a fan, 2 usb ports and an Ethernet port. You can buy a 16gb Pi 5 for that price.
that 7/11 thing existed but it wasn't the satellaview. it was a program they made to sell off older games for older consoles until 2006. The name of the program itself escapes me however.
i wish I was you
