I Am Alive and Technology Doesn&#x27;t Like Me

Tell me about it, my robot vacuum always tries to run me over..
With marketing nowadays, the base product almost seems like the scarcity. I noticed it with all the alternatives there are in the supermarket to just plain water.

Yeah, they don't care about our needs being met or even our preferences, only getting everyone to buy the expensive shit that has a bigger profit margin. Pods for both laundry and dishwasher are everywhere, but not only is it plastic inside plastic, it's insanely marked up from just buying a powder or liquid.
Oh bit it's 🎶 convenient🎶
Can people not measure out a little soap?
I admit there are going to be exceptions, of course - various disabilities where people struggle with hand dexterity or lifting even a few pounds, or as my mom mentioned, when someone in the house has dementia (my dad) and he would use WAY too much soap otherwise. But the companies push them to everyone because it's less product for more money.

You mention a very important factor in all of this. Convenience. A lot of people would rather pay 3 times as much for vegetables that are pre-cut than cutting it themselve. I know marketing and advertising play a role, and that there are exceptions to the rule, but the majority of people are still (subconsciously) giving power to these companies where it isn't necessary.

I switch between brands as long as it is "free and clear" - meaning, there are no perfumes or dyes in it, because the perfumes can set off my allergies.

I have some criteria to choose a soap or washing powders. Alhamdulillah, as I am not allergic to dye or perfume, those criteria aren't included!

I hope that you got the one that suits you!

Over 6000 people get infected with viral hepatitis patients worldwide every day! Around 3500 people die from this disease daily! Hepatitis B is responsible for 83% of deaths while hepatitis C is for 17%! Early diagnosis is often missed because of the silent nature of the disease! [According to WHO; from Medscape]
