Ugh. I hate how right you are.

I’m sorry, are there any different dystopias available other than this one? This one is stupid and I’d like to make an exchange if I can.

I guess you can always make it shittier?

I never understood the appeal of Threads anyway. Like, who leaves Xitter because it’s toxic garbage and goes to something owned by Meta, who practically invented this particular flavor of toxic garbage?

They’re not even hiding the enshittification strategy. They’re practically teaching you the principles up front.

“First we trap you, then we exploit you. Duh.”

There’s no moral dilemma. It’s just pure moral compromise.

I’m not a vape user, but the model is the kind of thing that just makes me so angry.

In a world that makes sense:

• small, mostly metal vape chassis
• rechargeable, replaceable battery
• built-in glass reservoir with charging valve
• vape juice sold in medium to large recyclable cans with standard interface to the charging valve

In a world where Profit is God (the real world):

• disposable chassis
• disposable battery
• if it’s refillable at all, it’s via non-recyclable, mixed material, mostly plastic, proprietary cartridges and you can save 5% if you subscribe online for refills, 10% if you pay yearly, $5 credit if you refer a friend on social media using hashtag #smoovape
• probably gives you turbo cancer because the juice is made in a repurposed Freon plant that was inadequately converted and they just don’t answer the phone when the FDA or EPA call
