I have to assume that there’s some kind of wilful ignorance going on because these kinds of products exist at the high and low end of the market
Though I agree with your ETA.
Noteworthy that it is not the presence of rgb that makes these fit the bill, though it is usually present. Its the hyper angular, edgy, kitschy nonsense
Why is almost everyone in this thread just talking about rgb? The OP directly says that this isn’t about rgb
I hate the gamer aesthetic, and I won’t buy a product that adheres to it (unless its an internal component for my PC because i have an opaque case anyway). Rgb lighting can be nice in moderation, as long as it is truly customisable.
Most places I’m aware of will mention if AI is used in the creation of some product, whether it is directly displayed in the end result or not
Death of the author, baby
I think its less about precisely where you draw the line, because that would assume you will be able to perfectly practice your ethics.
More important is that you are imperfectly practising your ethics, rather than not at all. Do you consider nestle evil enough to boycott but you haven’t found a suitable replacement for 1 product? That’s fine, boycott the rest of the products you would have got from them.
The harder you try to define the line, the harder it gets to actually implement in practice, which is the most important part.
Where I draw my line is a gut feeling more than anything. I won’t support meta or amazon or any of Musk’s ventures, I try to avoid nestle but they own half the food industry so if a product isn’t from nestle or one of the subsidiaries that I’ve memorised, I’ll consider it fair game most of the time. I’d probably look for a job elsewhere if my company started being evil but I wouldn’t leave until I had a job lined up.
Bet that was trained super ethically
We all know, right? Nobody needs to say it?
No luck catching them (swans/killers), then?
You are blowing up. Right NOW.
I don’t have an answer to the question but here’s an unrelated set of emojis 🍊🔫
Does having superpowers fix my executive dysfunction? Cause if so then like, I dunno, clean my house, catch up on admin, do everything I’ve been unable to do
I was glad that when I started earning a lot more money, I was being taxed more on that higher portion of the earnings. In theory, this means that I am supporting more good things. I am disenfranchised, however, with the fact that clearly large corporations and the mega rich are not paying their fair share, and that often my tax pounds are being spent in direct opposition of my very existence (anti trans policy, reversal of climate policy, etc).
I care about taxes, a lot, but I don’t care about being taxed a lot, as long as the heavy taxes I face are being used in a good way. If a small dip to my quality of life or excess earnings means that overall the quality of life in the country gets better, I’m super happy to see it.
At least for trans people we all hate this. We want to compete as our actual gender
If you really want to dig deep about this, go to therapy. It is incredibly helpful for complex issues of self.
Same here,

God that has raised my blood pressure. What a dickhole
Democracy, obviously. No it doesn’t change if I’m the dictator.
