Ground beef with lots of fat = low quality

Steak that's seemingly >50% fat = PREMIUM OMG

I don't get it. Give me a nice prime or choice steak please. I want fat flavor enhanced meat, not meat flavored fat...

The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous considered LSD to be a great tool to help alcoholics recover. Thank goodness you had that LSD! It changed your life!

If only my company allowed me to book my own hotels while traveling for work...

Yep! The welfare cliff I believe it's called. Evidence of a poorly designed welfare system, which I think some see as a feature not a bug sadly.

Instead of seeing it as a charge to remove ads, maybe look at it as buying the ad free app from the dev? That's how I see it. And giving people the option to use the app for free with ads is IMO a decent trade off.

I don't know if you've heard of it, pretty obscure app but it's super smooth, have you tried Sync?

Thanks for making Lemmy feel like home, it wouldn't without you!

The reality is it's a free world, regardless of what morality you put on things there are going to be things that happen that you don't like. That's life.

Like it or not Lemmy has had explosive growth because of apps like Sync. Because of them being killed off by Reddit. If it weren't for the drama of Reddit doing that, I and millions of other users wouldn't be here right now as we'd still be on Reddit.

Even people who weren't using the 3rd party apps left Reddit because Reddit's actions left a bad taste in their mouths.

So, morality of one guy charging for his honest work in creating the paid or ad supported app aside, you should be thanking the apps including sync for helping drive so many users to Lemmy.

If you yourself don't want to use a paid app, then that's okay! We're all allowed to respond or react to things how we want, but being incredibly divisive for something that a lot of people wanted and that really is inconsequential is almost universally frowned on.

Just let people do what they want and don't shoot them down for it. More options for browsing Lemmy = more Lemmings = more content.

Much love my dude! We may disagree on this but we agree on many many many more things I'm sure, just because we're on Lemmy instead of Reddit in the first place is proof of that! ✌️

I'll add that I also wish I could go to the doctor anytime for any reason even if it's just for a big particular pimple or a wart, and not have to think about the bill.

Not have to think is this worth spending $100+ on when it may go away on its own, or that I should just Google it instead of going to an actual doctor so I can save that money instead. This is WITH insurance btw. This is 10 fold worse with no insurance.
