I guess I’m not surprised enshittification of physical objects is becoming more of a trend than an oddity, but it’s still happening sooner than I expected. :/

You could almost call it… a mouse trap
(I’ll show myself out…)
War crimes “in honor of Shabbat”? I hope any remaining diaspora members of conscience who haven’t already been troubled by all this are hearing about this framing. Both horrific in its malevolence and a misrepresentation of Judaism all in one go!
Thanks, that sounds more like what I thought I heard about them before (though I think there’s a touch more regulation in Canada, even here I know it’s still predatory and should be avoided).
Do payday lenders (like Money Mart or whatever) not charge fees unless someone is late on a payment? I honestly don’t know how they work. I was under the impression that similarly, the only way Klarna and the others made money was by late payment fees since whenever they come up in a checkout it always says there are no fees (which I take to mean if payments are on time).
Condemn single mothers while promoting only “traditional families.”
Should be: Condemn single mothers instead of absent parents.
Usually for a poll like this, they would make invitations to targeted respondents and provide them with secure anonymous access when they agree.
I’ve also been concerned about negative outcomes for people based on the videos I’ve heard about and the one I saw posted before, but that’s what makes them so brave. The more they do it and the more such videos are normalized, the less harsh companies can be in retaliation.
Management being assholes is not as much a generational thing (at least, not as much as it seems) as the nature of what corporations expect of managers. The few amazing managers who somehow remain human while doing their job, who are good mentors, etc., are outliers.
If it ever comes to it, rioters are probably going to go after celebrities (possibly including influencers). There seems to be an increasing trend of people being turned off by inauthentic charm and conspicuous consumption, these days. Also, more and more of them seem to have been born into the life (like a child of a celebrity) rather than being elevated from working class life.
Not one that required a subscription to operate, but I’ve heard those are out there too.
