What’s a total waste of money yet people still pay for? it?

[msc545]

[front2back]

Smart appliances, like these new washing machines that connect to the internet and are controlled by an app.

They're almost always much more expensive than similar appliances, break more often, and in the case of "high efficiency" washers don't actually wash your clothes well.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Healing crystals and other esotherik nonsense, it literal does nothing and costs a fortune.

[Levin]

I'd say that garbage probably even does a lot more than what the Western medical system does in a lot of cases. Let's poison people when they have cancer so they can die quicker.

[msc545]

@Levin So what is it you do to get better when you get ill?

[Levin]

There's a fundamental misunderstanding of what illness is, so you have to work from that perspective.

Sickness always has a reason. People don't get sick for no reason, for the most part. I mean, there are exceptions of course. I mean, we are all going to die.

But prevention is much better than cure. And the cure, from a Western perspective, is being in a state of perpetual sickness; 'sickness management', rather than regaining any kind of health.

Why do people get cancer in the first place?

[msc545]

@Levin So what is it you do when you DO get sick?

[Levin]

Let is pass, baby. It always does. Despite the fear and the people trying to impose pills on me. I haven't taken any pills or any medicine for 10 years now. No jabs, no covid. None of that pseudo-science and witchery.

I have an iron will.

Then try and work out why I got sick in the first place, so I won't get sick again.

I mean, sure if I break a leg or something, I'll go to the doc.

[msc545]

@Levin I hope if you get serious symptoms you will see a doctor...

[Levin]

Sure. And then I will decide if I want treatment. I'm not gonna throw the baby out with the bathwater. Some of it is good stuff. Some of it isn't.

[msc545]

@Levin ok

[slatyb]

@Levin it does absolutely nothing. Cancer treatments have improved and continue to improve.

[Levin]

@slatyb bullshit. You are brainwashed. The 'war on cancer' is an absolute failure and is nothing more than a racket.

[Levin]

Though there has been significant progress in the understanding of cancer biology, risk factors, treatments, and prognosis of some types of cancer (such as childhood leukemia[2]) since the inception of the National Cancer Act of 1971, progress in reducing the overall cancer mortality rate has been disappointing.[5][32] Many types of cancer remain largely incurable (such as pancreatic cancer[44]) and the overall death rate from cancer has not decreased appreciably since the 1970s.[45] The death rate for cancer in the U. S., adjusted for population size and age, dropped only 5 percent from 1950 to 2005.[3] As of 2012, WHO reported 8.2 million annual deaths from cancer[46] Heart disease (including both Ischaemic and hypertensive) accounted for 8.5 million annual deaths. Stroke accounted for 6.7 million annual deaths. [47]

Source Wikipedia, 'war on cancer'.

[slatyb]

@Levin We're bound to die of something sooner or later, and some fraction of those will be due to cancer. So the percentage of people dying of cancer isn't important. What's important is when we are dying.

[slatyb]

Why do we get cancer? Genetics and environment and probably random chance.

[Astarlessnightsky]

LOL. Whats going on here.

I am not the best person to ask, I love wasting money, I could buy 3 houses by the sea in Georgia by now had I been a bit smarter.

onlyfans (so much free porn online), bottled water (here in Europe tap water is drinkeable), taxes (yea we all gotta pay it and the state does whatever nonesense with it), premium stuff where you just pay for the brand and yet cheaper alternatives work as good,

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Definitely protection plans on small appliances. You buy a toaster the thing cost $42.99 & for $20.00 more you can get a protection plan for a year. Fuck them, throw the shit away & buy another one.

[artgorgeous]

Useless education degrees. Like gender studies, arts, etc.

[msc545]

Art evokes emotion and brings pleasure. Do you seriously think it is useless? What is a useless education degree?

[artgorgeous]

Art is a useless, degree because for most people it's difficult to earn having a degree in art. Most people have a minimum wage, except you are super talented.

[msc545]

Do you believe that the only metric of value is money?

[artgorgeous]

Not the only, but it's the thing that solves 90% of your problems in life. Money is a tool that makes you more free in your life choices and makes your life easier.

[msc545]

It solves many problems and it also creates many problems. If your

Which ones do you think are useless?

[exitseven]

NPR for one. Foreign aid to countries that hate us for another. There is whole list of waste in government from many different places.

this website is just one ofr many

[msc545]

NPR was designed as a propaganda tool for the conservative elements of the US government. Given that, I'm surprised that you don't support it.

[exitseven]

NPR is nothing but liberal drivel. even Sesame Street is an indoctrination tool for the left. It may have started out as and educational tool but has been indoctrinating kids for years. Why do you think that Big Bird quit the show? He was fed up with it.

[msc545]

Did Big Bird tell you that or is that something else that you just made up?

[exitseven]

@msc545 Big Bird flipped bert and Ernie and the rest of the gang the bird as he flew off into the sunset. He is living in Nashville and does standup at John Rich's bar.
