That was always how it ended. The artist even made a follow up comic. https://thenib.com/this-is-not-fine/
Klarna? Why is that there?
Loans for small things are high risk and aren't worth it for a bank in a normal economy. People can't afford the basics and have to lay-away like in the great depression. Klarna is the canary in the mine.
If my face is gonna melt anyway let me have my fun.
Is this meme trying to say that trying to scrape what little joy we can out of the world... is a bad thing?
People are able to do multiple things, just not necessarily at the same time. And most don't have the mental or emotional fortitude to spend 100% of their time on fixing everything that's wrong with the world.
Treat or no treat, we are all in the same house and the house is on fire. Might as well have your treat.
I stopped paying for subscriptions a while back in favor of Jellyfin/ad-based competitors and was floored by how much bigger their libraries are with far more respectable privacy policies (some don't even require an email address)
Only real "drawback" is they aren't as much part of the current zeitgeist
How is klarna in there?
I mean they suck, I am pretty sure they breached my phone number, but how are they relevant?
Klarna is actively incentivising unhealthy spending patterns, employing dark patterns, stuff like that.
I'm gonna polymarket the outcome of your comment... but I don't want to pay for the bet all at once....
I hope the next time someone pays in front of you, it's for a single, inexpensive item. Also, it's the slowest person you've ever seen and they start paying in cash, come up short, make up the difference in a hand-written, personal cheque. Then they remember they have a coupon. It's expired. The cashier calls for a manager override. The customer writes another check for the new balance. Before handing it over, the customer remarks the price label looks incorrect. The cashier gets a price check, confirms the new correct price. Another manager override. Another check. The cashier takes up the cash and realizes one of the coins is of a foreign denomination. The manager is over it by now and tries to pay for the item, but the customer is too proud and insists on paying for it themself, remarking they've "never taken a handout in their life." One of the less patient customers behind you jokingly asks if they'd like to round up for charity. Turns out they very much would and that's about when the pen begins running out of ink, but they're determined to make it work.
This would make an excellent curse to cast on someone. I do wonder if it might be a bit too brutal for c/mildcurses@piefed.social though.
Loan sharks have been a thing for a long time. Legal loan sharks… yeah, that’s new.
Like you can afford that after you borrow money for groceries and pills
You're fine with paying interest on a loan to buy a hot dog?
