Upselling is garbage. It's capitalistic prostitution. But upselling to poor people is just fucking cruel. "Hey, let me remind you that you came in here with limited funds by offering you a product that you definitely didn't plan to buy, can't afford, which even if you bought i wouldn't personally gain from, and you'll feel guilty that you're so poor no matter what as an end result." No joke the store i just got out of she made a joke how she was trying to take my every last penny. I was thinking in which world is that funny to poor people?! Kind of like insurance people, I don't like sales people usually either. Especially if they're commission based. Oh my God you get the worst people then. You can't believe a single fucking word they say.

Was looking at my iPod Nano and thought how utterly BS it is that companies say it takes too much room to have a headphone jack.

I already thought it was BS before but the claim invariably comes down to form factor and keeping the jacks would make the device too big.

My Nano is ~5mm thick with the jack (also it's thinner than that but the glass stands out to make it thicker). That's nearly 3mm thinner than the latest iPhone and even the thinnest iPhone is over 2mm thicker.

You're telling me as components and ports shrink and boards also get smaller, it's unfeasible to do something that was done a decade ago?

It's almost as if it's not that form factor/technology doesn't allow it and it's all about selling proprietary adapters and/or Apple-brand headphones/earbuds/airpods that can be paired without a jack, and removing customer freedom.

#it used to be about removing the option for customers to record music via the jack #but that's been something easily done for ages #'best' is when the claim is a jack is too thick for a laptop #a cell i could possibly understand but a laptop?#the hell is your board and battery if it's thinner than 5mm and you can't find room for the jack #'cause even on compact builds there's dead space #and it's not like optical drives are often a thing now so that frees up even more room #though funny story from when i got my nano #i wanted something to use at work for a physical job so it only needed to play music and fit in a pocket #the staffer (who was probably instructed to upsell everyone) kept trying to get me to buy a cell instead #because 'you can play music off it and do other stuff'#i legit only wanted to get something that did one (1) thing #especially given the chance it could be damaged #also even at the best of times a cell has trouble fitting in afab dress pants pockets #kinda hard to upsell someone on something that costs hundreds more and literally cannot do what they want

funny how much victoria places squarely on the shoulders of tattletale. she COULD HAVE STOPPED THE ENDBRINGERS AT ANY TIME but she DIDN’T just so that leviathan could KILL MY FAMILY. honey you sound insane.

#now this is just speculation #but maybe victoria is playing up tattletale's role in everything from the complete collapse of brockton bay to the destruction of new wave #because she's trying to subconsciously play up her own role?#especially in amy's self destruction #like for that one i'd put about 75% on the adult members of new wave #another 20% on the PRT and various authorities (counting the wards in that though they get like 3% of the prt's share)#leaving about 5% to be split between victoria and probably all the undersiders #the only thing i'd say was squarely victoria's fault was chasing amy at the end there #like all that other stuff she was just being a good sister #tattletale's only real things here were the bank and not trying harder during the slaughterhouse 9 crisis #the not trying harder probably goes to all the undersiders though. they had their hands full though #it's literally not their jobs. they're fucking bank robbers #anyway this 100% that i've handed out here is actually the like 50% that *doesn't* go to the slaughterhouse 9 #what i'm trying to get at is that victoria and tattletale really had very little to do with amy's mental break #honestly most of the fault probably lies with carol (even more than jack probably)#ANYWAY #she's upselling tattletale's control over the situation because if tattletale could have stopped it then victoria could have stopped it #again speculation #what i'm trying to get at with this massive tumor of text is that obviously victoria has a massive grudge against tattletale for some reaso #maybe she feels kind of guilty over what happened and how she didn't like. stop it. and she's pushing that off as “tattletale did it?”#i dunno it's thin

People act like having a blorbo is pointless, 'oh it's just for fun', no, a blorbo is useful, my blorbo Matt is the reason the guy trying to sell me solar panels left me alone, 'I'm sorry, my husband matt does all the mathy energy things and reno, i'm too busy looking after our son (a dog) but i'll tell him about you guys'

'But pasta,' you say, 'my blorbo is a celebrity'

No one's checking your marriage certificate, stop being a coward, my husband tom suddenly developed celiacs and needed Special Bread Sold Elsewhere when a clerk at target tried to upsell me bread during a snowstorm and all i wanted was the bread at the store next door, tom is also the reason i can't take flyers he is very clean you see and if i bring home more paper after the great gluten paper stack incident of 2017, he will be mad and our children (cats) hate it when we argue about paper

i have a blorbo for every scenario, present a problem to me and i shuffle them like a pack of little cards before playing the perfect blorbo, i apologize ma'am i can't take out another credit card, my husband Din lost his entire family to a credit company and thus i cannot make use of your credit card, i must respect his wishes and retain harmony for the sake of our son (a snake)

Be bold, use your blorbo, let nothing stop you

#blorbos #i have used them to get me out of so many things #upsellers? yup #religious door knockers? yup #weird purchases? yup

annual reminder not to waste your time buying glitter wrapping paper (yes, even the kind that is mostly regular with little glitter accents) unless you're also prepared to use heavy duty double-sided peel-off tape with it
