Even when they do come out with a novelty flavor that is tasty you get sick of it after half a sleeve.

That has actually been my theory for close to 10 years on this transgenderism and infinite gender stuff. It's all about pushing dumb and disposable niche products like Rainbow Flavored Doritos or Unicorn Cookies. It's for people who want to live a life entirely built on their consumer needs and frivolity which is basically the core parts of our culture and media that keep pushing the ever expanding alphabet stuff.

These people make good robust consumers, just like most other minority groups being promoted. Think about it- if you're Revlon would you want to promote a society where just women wear makeup or everybody wears makeup? Well in reality (almost) nobody needs makeup and literally nobody needs Rainbow Flavored Bullshit.

Big brain take.

Consumerism has replaced productivity and skills. My boomer father is a prime example of this. No need to learn how to fix a doorknob or a leaky faucet, "just pay someome to do it". He eats fasylt food and rarely cooks.

Many today follow this same path not realizing economic factors have changed. Whereas the boomers lived high on the hog post WWII, many today will complain how poor they are while they're buying a $4 cup of coffee. This, of course, really just benefits massive corporations. Then they'll plaster some rainbow flag on a cup to make people "feeeel" like they're contributing to some greater cause.

I've never been able to understand the "just pay someone to do it" crowd. There are always going to be things that take longer than their worth, things you can learn to do a "decent enough" job but might not like the end result compared to if someone with more experience had done it, but that's supposed to be a weight calculation between different resources, time, energy, money. These days the default for just about everyone is "I don't know how" without ever even learning what it takes in the first place.

I'm a musician. With a Master's degree, ffs. I also build cabinets and fix anything I can. I'm getting ready to install a bathroom vanity and am building a mew entertainment center. I was fixing my aunts sprinklers when I was like 8 years old. I've done some small electrical work around the house and just started learning more so I can add more outlets/power to my woodshop. I also lime to bake and cook. The "pay someone else" thing is foreign to me too. I like to learn amd get new skills. I think it's just a degenerate laziness that affects many people.
