Very useful for my blind fiance though. He can't fill a reusable cup or regular coffee filter by himself, but he can make himself a cup of coffee with the Keurig on his own.

On one hand, I like the free games you can play with ads so you can try out a bunch of games without spending a fortune. On the other hand, if I am watching ads to play the game then I shouldn't be hounded to buy a million microtransactions in the game. I wish more games had the option of buying the full game when you know you like it so you could get rid of ads and microtransactions, but they make more money that way than selling them whole.

I had a pair of Sony headphones that lasted me for over 10 years. They finally broke, so I bought another pair exactly the same.

Yeah, it would be better if they were recyclable, but they have been a godsend for my S/O who is rapidly losing his eyesight. He can make his own coffee by feel and doesn't have to depend on someone to set up the drip machine for him.

Many people in my town have a lot of rust in their water from old water pipes. The rust stains every thing orange then red and the amount that’s there is really harmful. And filters can only do so much. So they don’t have much of a choice.

I feel so much better after a visit to the chiropractor (once or twice a year) that I fail to understand the scam. I wanted my back to feel better and it does after I leave, service given, service paid for. Where was the scam?

We have a new Casino near where I live. I stopped in because they were offering a free buffet. I walked around and saw one person sit down and start to win hand over fist on a video slot. People crowded around the person. This person made thousands in minutes. Then got up and disappeared into the crowd but I followed and saw this "Winner" sneak into an employee only door. This person was paid to pretend to win.

Monsanto is one of the largest producers of GMOs. The seeds have a patent. If the wind blows the seeds to another farmers land that large corporation can claim that whatever grows belongs to them. They force poor farmers in 3rd world countries to buy only their seeds. I think this is more of the problem then the genetically modified science food aspect.

Eh, I went to one who saw me every few weeks until my accident compensation from the government ran out and then was fine with me leaving. I did have one before her who was a creeper, but that’s not inherent to the profession.

A bit lacking in elaboration here so: Planned obsolescence is the practice of artificially making a product's lifespan shorter so people will replace it more often. This leads to a massive waste of resources and towering amounts of hardware trash that most often isn't recycled. Poisoning the planet all in the name of profit. If you wonder why phones seem to generally break just in time for a new generation of phones that's why. Nokia bricks was never as profitable as today's iPhones which a lot of people replace semi-anually. Imagine building yourself a house but not making it as sturdy and long lasting as possible. Planned obsolescence is seriously a horrifyingly Earth-destructive strategy. Another good example is light bulbs, which early models could last many years or even decades but today's light bulbs are manufactured to last about a year.

Not when the university requires a new book every year. It's a huge scam where educators, institutions and publishers work together to profit. Even used books, when you can actually use the previous years text, are stupid expensive.

Yes for free. Let the government pay for the material to educate a nation.

30 Items We All Should Quit Buying, As Pointed Out By People In This Online Group

My university pretty exclusively required books written by their own professors, which they would therefore "rewrite" them every year so that they couldn't be resold and we had to pay full price every year for the "new" version. Which basically involved changing the page numbers.

40 Times People Cheated The System By Acting Like They Belong

Don't do this --> find local event staffing company that does all the big events in your area. Find out what they wear (hint it's usually black pants and some color polo.) Dress the same for free access to concerts, football games etc. Since the venue is hiring a larg number of people through a staffing agency they won't know who you are or if you belong or not. Most employees don't even know the other employees. I never did this, never knew other college kids that did this. It has definitely never worked.
