It takes a lot of #chutzpah to sell μA741 opamps for $2 each plus shipping.

If you're posting AI-generated images, you should know it makes everything you post look slimy and gross, like engagement bait content with no soul or meaning. Is that why you're here? Is that who you are? #ai #networking #content #ripoff
Vinyl Me Please and other similar clubs always seem like a pointless scam to me: pay more than full price for records you don't even pick out? What a deal! #vinyl #records #ripoff

Last time I bought a Fairy washing up liquid "Mega Pack" At Tesco it was 1450ml and £3.00.
Flatmate's recent purchase 730ml for £3.50.
Poured into the old bottle because the "No you can't have just a drop" no leak cap is a con to make your use more.
I think it's sweet how Mcdonalds think their £5 meal deal is a good offer, it's not even a decent burger & who cares about chicken nuggets.
Ready, fight - Tencent is not backing down in its fight against Sony over the alleged Horizon rip-off Light of Motiram. #RipOff https://gamesense.co/game/rip-off/news/discuss/fame-does-not-create-a-trademark-sony-tencent-s-war-of-words-over-horizon-rip-off-rage-on/
British Wagyu beef isn't the same as Japanese Wagyu beef, you are paying for a cheap knock off without the cheap price. They shouldn't be allowed to call it Wagyu it's a cross breed kinda like a cockapoo. Just another rip off.
McVittie's have reduced the cocoa content so much that they have to call them "chocolate flavoured" rather than chocolate biscuits. I don't often eat these but for some reason I find this example of Qualityflation particularly disappointing.
Step 1: Remove all public #water fountains.
Step 2: Redesign #bathrooms with water taps so low people cannot drink from them.
Step 3: Sell bottled water for 5€ per bottle.
Death to Spotify
Not a musician of talent, merely an occasional but enthusiastic player of various instruments, I am very glad not only to see a movement to ignore Spotify, but also mention of Bandcamp

#Medicare Part B premiums will rise by 12%. Twelve. Percent. Not a typo - that was 12%
The #SocialSecurity #COLA is expected to be 2.7% (Less than three percent)
THIS is why I don't carry anything past Medicare Part A because fuck you

A.I. is looking great now, huh. That's why 'they' all want it, the #Billionairs.
Good luck on the phone with a computer.

I bought new handkerchiefs recently, thirty-five euro for two. Today I am wearing a shirt I ordered from the UK, which cost twenty pounds.
Gentle reader, they both have exactly the same striped design, and are both made from the same material.
Next time, when I need handkerchiefs, I shall buy shirts, and a pair of scissors.

@firebones I mean, if #ArionKurtaj was able to hack #RockstarGames with a #FireTV stick and an #MK270 set from a hotel room, then I'm shure writing some stuff will be feasible with way cheaper and simpler hardware.
- A "$700 writing appliance" sounds to me like an absolute #ripoff compared even to a fanless prison laptop which for the price starting at $549 at least comes in a cool, transparent case...
New episode! We review a terrible Die Hard ripoff called Skyscraper, which stars Anna Nicole Smith and her boobies. #podcast #movies #annanicolesmith #diehard #ripoff
Tops's top tip: never, ever buy anything in the Gare du Nord Eurostar duty free shop.
Case in point: the same bottle of Calvados costs twenty pounds on Brittany Ferries. #RipOff #HowMuch #CrossBorderRail
Was going to buy a ticket for the Wedding Present at Oxford but decided that the additional fees which add over 25% to the ticket price was not worth it. Service fees and handling fees should be renamed, they are nothing more that touting fees. If a ticket cannot be purchased for the £35 then it shouldn't be shown as that. #RIPOff #Gigs
