Because that would mean less money for the brand

Then I want you to call me.

Ding, ding and another ding. I am shocked that people give corps still the benefit of doubt, and assume it’s because of “nicer looks”.

Yep

I once read (ages ago, can’t find the source now) that it is deliberate - because with mass produced consumer goods such as shower gel or body lotion etc. if you throw away the last 2-3 uses because they are too hard to get out of the bottle, you will buy earlier and hence more of their product. They give you effectively less than you pay for, and it adds up for them. And they get away with it because it’s your choice to rather buy a new bottle for convenience. So of course, it’s again because corporations are only interested in cutting corners to give you the minimum viable product possible.

It was never dead, but Japan was punching way over its weight until the early 90s and thought that would go on forever. They are very prideful and hence they created the fairy tale of lost decades to pretend to themselves that the sort of growth and wealth they experienced during the bubble economy were their baseline and anything less meant a „loss“. Maybe in 3 or 5 decades from now they’ll be comfortable enough with the idea that they aren’t the superior race of the world and that their current level is just fine. So yes they’re alive, but not „again“. They will never repeat their economic miracle.

Oh yes the American way of throwing away that last 2-3% of soap to feel rich

See, little shits? Being a serious person means not masturbating to your ideals until you are murdered.

Oh how I wish these people would actually experience the armed showdown with the US government they all crave. I need that drone footage. Oh the juicy videos from 1000ft above of Skeeter and his J6 posse disappearing in a cloud of smoke like ants.

Not wrong, but the foundation for that is also form of “fear”, the wish to be feared stems from the inner fear of looking weak and vulnerable. This is not a person who’s at ease with himself or of the path he’s chosen. He’s hurting, a lot. Even knowing all this, it’s still hard to feel empathy because of the way he chooses to deal with his psychological issues.

Is the question “why” really still a source of puzzlement to people? It’s a cult. Jesus is long dead, or probably never existed, so he’s even more “degenerated” than Trump, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for his followers.

It’s not that complicated - Carlson is acting as a propaganda tool for Putin, hence he’s sanctioned, which is not censorship.

Breathe, dude. Where does it say “censor”? Nowhere.

And free speech isn’t freedom of consequences.
