In the past few years I’ve seen “turns out printer ink is a scam” videos trending at least three times on YouTube, so I’m assuming printer ink.

Afaik, we actually don’t know, we have so many years of research and technique development of running with arched footwear than with archless and barefoot running, there’s no sufficient incentive to research and test it at full Sprint (heh) and thus research for it goes at a snail pace.

As a reference of how important this research is, nowadays there are banned running shoes you can’t use in competition because of the advantage they give you and they have to be previously be approved as opposed to individually banned. A new shoe can shave seconds off a professional runner’s time.

Someone named Fred murdered someone last week. Does that mean that all people named Fred are murderers?? That’s the kind of ridiculous logic you are trying to apply.

Nah, it means you can’t read because that comparison makes no sense unless you read something different.

Let’s say we were talking about Facebook alone, their crimes affect more people than the company has, more people than there are in your country, and even more people than they have active users, do you mean to tell me that’s meaningless because there are thousands of people who registered their t-shirt printing businesses that together will never collect enough money to match what Zuckerberg makes in an hour?

That’s an outlandish way of seeing it, the fact that are people like you who are satisfied with such arguments is part of why these monstrous companies can do whatever the hell they want.

People act like capitalism is some kind of lawless world

Because in practice it is, daily you see news of corporations caught violating the law and as a result being slapped in the hand with a day’s worth of income, which for anyone with half a forehead means a profitable investment.

Again, like almost anything, it’s great if you don’t count the bad part.

I feel like saying that capitalism is not bad but the current implementations are the problem is is like saying the same for communism, they both are great in theory but reality doesn’t vibe with imaginary ideals.

It flows

This one may not be so obvious, but I’ve seen someone lose their marbles over the crazy idea that they get recommended stuff for children when all they watch on YouTube is Minecraft videos and sometimes Roblox. And people in the comments agreed…

The YouTube subreddit wasn’t full of bright people.

Get a tank printer, you can’t DRM liquid (afaik). I have an hp one with tiny tanks, I refill once a year and the branded bottles aren’t too expensive, but you can use generic inks, though I’ve read about people with the same printer having problems with the viscosity of generic inks, so you still need quality ink.

A downside is I have to print something every now and then to keep it from clogging (a month or two).

I don’t necessarily recommend my specific model, but at least that type of printer, I’ve found it’s been great. Software is kinda shit like any printer but I have Linux on my desktop so it doesn’t really matter, shitty proprietary software is only needed for Windows (I have zero experience with Mac)
