@Marshall1Banana @Terry There’s something up with all this stupid new-media coffee shit. I suspect it’s one company just providing special web stores and packaging, because every grifter suddenly started saying “oh yeah I couldn’t find GOOD COFFEE so I MADE MY OWN” out of nowhere

Anyone know any others?
@Marshall1Banana @Terry That nerdrotic guy? The bearded shitlib san fran one. I dug in a little bit to see and the whole thing was super suspect to me. Almost guarantee it’s a targeted ad they get in the inbox
@WashedOutGundamPilot @Marshall1Banana @Terry Genuine question, is their coffee any noticeably better than whatever is already in the market?
I buy starbucks coffee beans, sure they hate me, but they make a consistent product, BRCC hate me, but they pretend to be for me, that’s infinitely worse.
I usually just buy store brand whole bean coffee, it's cheaper than Starbucks brand and tastes about the same.

This.
I used to work in a dress factory. And while it was just another dumb job, one thing that blew my mind at the time was, that the dresses that were made there looked exactly the same, were made by the same people, but still had a different label based on who was ordering them.
And then, I realized, that it might be a common practice.
Late stage capitalism is entirely an illusion of choice.
@DemonSixOne @happypirate @PhenomX6 @LukeAlmighty @Terry @InceptionState @Marshall1Banana @Twoinchdestroya Ah don’t bring that up here people get testy b/c there’s magic that makes its way into those parts when you pay $600 for them
They look like this straight from the forge.
HVAC equipment is the same way, other than Lennox and maybe Trane most of it is off the shelf with similar or identical parts and different logos.
When I worked at a car repair shop I was also told which brands were the best to buy for parts. Namely; when buying European cars you'd always buy Bosch parts because they were always what the VW/BMW/Benz dealer sells at a markup, and there was a similar brand for Japanese car parts. I've seen Mann filters and Hella horns used by all 3 as well (currently own a VW). I know of a few Japanese OEM suppliers but the names don't come to mind right now. Sure you can't use VW parts on a BMW but the same company will make both parts.
