People very upset that a company which exists to make money has used the cheaper option for the part of a TV that 80% of buyers will leave in the box anyway.

I saw a comment suggesting that it must only be $5 to add a proper stand. TCL made 30million TVs last year so that’s a substantial bonus for whoever made that choice.

Breaking news! Budget TV has budget parts!

Welcome to lemmy.

I’d just like to point out that OP is either lying or has been scammed.

Starbucks have consistent pricing and the most expensive sandwich in the UK is £5.10, technically 5.25 for a plant based breakfast item, see here for full menu prices.

But people like getting angry at cost of living issues right now (understandably) so this will get hundreds of upvotes despite being a lie.

You’ve put a fair few words into people’s mouths and then judged them for it here.

Could your own view be unfair? I see people from all sides coming to conclusions they aren’t qualified to be confident in, and yet everyone seems to have 100% certainty in everything these days.

I see lots of right wing tits, I also see lots of left wing tits and centrist tits. Politicians are not experts in anything, their job requires them to try and become experts in everything and as a result they’re experts in nothing but lots of people seem to take everything their preferred politician says as fact. Things are very rarely black and white but in the US that seems to have been entirely forgotten lately.

I know it won’t go down well here but viewpoints like ACAB or “republicans are fundamentally bad people” are so reductive that it’s almost funny.

When did people stop considering nuance?

Have convictions about the shit you know about. But be prepared to change your mind on stuff you aren’t an expert in.

I wonder how many people that strongly align to the left or right actually understand the detail behind the policies they defend so vociferously, 99% of people people are just parroting what their party tells them to say from what I can see.

Your opinion on climate change or whatever is the latest hot topic doesn’t mean shit. Reading an article from your biased politically motivated “journal” doesn’t mean shit. Listening to the actual experts and forming an opinion based on that DOES mean something, and it’s got fucking nothing to do with politics.
