Tbh, most people would drop more than the price difference on clothes that they will never wear. Just look at the new car market. Hardly anyone buys the cheap model, so for a couple of hundred bucks, I don’t think anyone really cares about this. If they have the disposable income, they will probably just buy the pro because of the perception that they are buying the best.

I have been using Jdownloader2 for years.. I don’t know what the differences are, but might be an option for people who want something GUI based

Honestly, social media.. Facebook is just absolutely full of bullshit meme's for every type of occasion, and clicking on a single one sends people down that rabbithole. Eg.. Say a person has a breakup with a person who exhibits some narcissistic traits and then relates to a meme about it and clicks on it (or pause too long), next minute the feed is full of gender hating memes, groups and pages to feed that part of the brain, and I think it is incredibly unhealthy. It just seemed a lot easier to meet people before heads were filled with social media influence

Honestly.. Google Play.. someone re-gifted my son a $20 Google Play card a few years ago, and I tried to buy something for him and realised the card was about 2weeks out of date, and after about 10 back and forwards with support, they wouldn’t honour it.. a trillion dollar company. I get it, but their cold indifference just seemed mean

At this point there is zero logical reason that cigarettes aren’t banned. The only logical reasons are that the government likes the $40/pack tax more than Australians dying, or big tobacco donations.. I am not advocating the ban of ciggies, it just makes zero sense to continue to go after vapes when turning a blind eye to the other ‘death maker’

You think a multi trillion dollar company is just winging it from a legal standpoint? Or do you think they have worked with the EU to develop the policy within a hair of what they are actually required to do?

Can you imagine the lengths these companies go to to screw over the producers? We often look at how it hurts our pockets, but for Coles and Woolworths, the profit margin works both sides. Say milk, if they screw the producer down so it is only barely profitable (can’t have them not being able to supply) and then pump up the price for the consumer, it is a double win.

I will probably continue to buy new cars as I can spend my hard earned on whatever I want. Everyone’s financial situation, wants and needs are different… you shouldn’t bundle everyone else into your opinion.

That said, I wouldn’t buy a car that has a feature that I need locked behind a subscription.. I would just buy one that suits. I am not loyal to any particular brand so I don’t care.

I just realised that I probably wouldn’t realise it was strange, I might have to ask someone who knows me
