The most millennial thing about me is that NO I do not want to open this link in an app, no I do not want to download an app to view this, please just let me open this in a tab in the browser. I don’t want another app, I just want to see the three pictures or whatever in the app I am already in. Do you know what is also an app? The browser. That’s an app. Stop pretending I can’t see this stupid article unless I download another thing that wants to track me and I have to come up with another cutesy username and save another password in my password manager that’s already been hacked btw and I have to configure fucking notificationnnnssss and I have to figure out why it’s still pinging me anyway and I have to block everybody I know in a new place and god no I do not want you to look at my contacts and tell me if Jerry who I worked with ten years ago also uses FlimFlam and no I do not want another app that has a nearly indistinguishable icon from the app I actually do want to use fairly often and no I don’t give you permission and no I don’t want to tell you my gender and no I don’t want to figure out another interface and hate it for new reasons I had never even imagined before and no I don’t want to get my hopes up about a better way to see pictures or read articles or listen to music because we allllllll know by now that it will just be short form video all over my fucking unconfigurable feed by the end of the fucking day. I just want to open the link in a tab!!!
🚨 SHE JUST DISCOVERED THE DUMBEST PRICING GLITCH IN AMERICA - AND WALMART CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN IT.
This woman went to Walmart to grab the ink she always buys.
It used to be around $40.
Today? $79. Same box. Same ink.
Then she checks the shelf and sees the entire printer - which comes with that same $79 ink already inside - selling for $64.
So the hardware plus the ink is cheaper than the ink alone.
She shows customer service the $33 online price and asks them to match it.
They tell her:
“We don’t honor online pricing. We want people buying online, not in-store.”
So Walmart won’t match their own website…the ink costs more than the printer…and she’s left trying to make sense of a system that clearly doesn’t.
Does ANY part of this make sense to you?
