    Some companies do a great job at naming, versioning, model numbering, etc. You can tell those companies care about the customer. However, most places are crap at it. They fall back to the advertising. The ads tell you what the “best” one is to buy (usually the most expensive model at the lowest specs for the MAXIMUM profit). And you damn well better buy the most advertised model or you’re a bad consumer and no one will like you because everyone else bought the model we told them to!! Never believe the advertising, never believe that Brand A is better than Brand R, brands mean almost nothing these days. So many products are made by 1 warehouse and branded for 150 different companies, all the exact same product. The bottom line is, they just want you to buy all their crap, no one cares if you can figure it out or are happy.

    Social Media can be a valuable tool. I find that certain platforms attract different groups of people. I stay away from twitter because, well, we know how to find the nazis. Facebook is for people who like to argue and scam people. And instagram is for the utterly shallow and vapid people who think they are famous. Big ego central. There are nice people on any platform, but you do have to put up with a ton of shit depending on the platform. Watching TV does not rot your brain. Playing video games does not make you violent. Smoking pot does not make you a junkie. Kissing does not lead to sex & pregnancy.

    Any activity/tool can do harm, but it’s the individual who is responsible for the action.

    Some people cause a scene to bully you into breaking the rules and get free stuff. In most cases I just become super nice (like syrupy, sickly sweet) and pretend I’m on their side (bag fees are dumb), and let them know you don’t want to lose your job for giving away free merchandise (so sorry, did you still want to buy a bag?). If they are super toxic, you call a manager and make them deal with it, that’s what they get paid for.
