The Republican party in general.

To be fair, I think the actual republican congress doesn't believe, it's just a tool to make them richer

Price anchoring. The marketing trick in which sellers put some random, high number as the "regular" price or MSRP, so the offer price seems like a deal.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah. They get away with this due to our non-existent consumer protection laws. Should be a disclaimer showing the lowest price in 30 or 90 days with the date on it next to the "sale" price.

food delivery gig economy bullshit

the amount of delivery fees so many people seem perfectly okay with blows my mind.

Bad for the drivers, bad for the customers, bad for the business.

Free trial for a week, then $X/month after

But you need to get customer "service" on the phone to cancel

That you need to buy clothes like the celebrities wear to boost your status.

That you need a partner to be happy and if you are unhappy, a partner would be the one making you happy.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My experience has been that the partner makes me unhappy.

[–] peaches@lemm.ee 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I am sorry for that. :( Is there no way you could get out of the relationship? (Assuming you already tried to fix it). We only have one life, we should live it in happiness. I hope your situations gets better! 🫂

Oh I've been single for ten years.

[–] peaches@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, great! Hope you find a good one if that’s what you wish, and if not, hope you enjoy the joys of being single. Never settle for anyone that does not elevate your life. Friendships are also relationships, and if they are with the right people, they can bring affection and love, which most of us need in order to thrive.

Thanks. I've got a great group of friends and a few ex's I uhhh keep in touch with. I'm far from lonely but having someone in my life as a partner is just not my thing.
