He has become a woman. That's where this shite is driven from. Home alarms, Life360, branded water filters, air chilled chicken, all bullshite driven by bitches and adopted by their beta husbands.

I assume you're talking water filter for through the door ice and water?

Buy a whole house filter, replace that filter every few months, and tell GE to suck it.

What price do you put in your family’s health. I would never trust an off brand filter. That’s like playing a slow motion version of Russian roulette.


Holy fricking hyperbole princess.

Sort of like Apple changing the power cords on every new device so you have to purchase new back ups, and discard a box of obsolete spaghetti cords every 10 years.

I wouldn’t be shocked to hear there are WiFi fridges that do charge monthly or else they disable.


An AI fridge that decides you’ve had enough to eat or drink and locks itself.

At the filter thing is a part that needs replacing every so often.

Wait till more automakers start charging you a monthly fee to access shite you already paid for like heated seats, remote start, etc.

It is infuriating how much money is being sucked out of us at every turn.


The biggest one in the last 15 years has been cable boxes. Most systems like Comcast require them since all channels are digital and encrypted. So if you have 5 or 6 TV’s that is north of 60-80 dollars in equipment if you have a DVR.

One system I know of, Allen Cable in Morgan City has most of the lineup unencrypted so you don’t need a box. Of course if you want the premium tier like HBO you will need a box.

You can purchase a car outright and some dork can decide to shut it down from across the country.

Signing kids up for summer camp this year. Instead of paying school directly, now use a website that charges a $28 service fee and CC fee. Oh and somehow snuck in a yearly subscription to this website that I can’t imagine using ever again — 30 days free, then $100 a year. Absolute insanity. They won’t be satisfied until they squeeze every penny we make.

This isn’t capitalism.

I want a Toyota Hilux truck. So do millions of Americans. If we were truly a free market, we would have these.

F you fascist democrats and your onerous regulations.

I cannot imagine living in some third world hellscape where I couldn't get a glass, put some ice in it and get some water from the sink.
