This design and use of cheap plastic is disgusting. Design peaked during Bauhaus.

I get that plastic is cheap, common, and often wasteful but it is also shock resistant, light, and transparent.

The problem is not "plastic", but cheap looking shit these things were made out of. There are plenty of good looking plastic products.

Why does it matter whether it looks "cheap" though? I get that you don't want something ugly-looking, but what's the problem with it being cheap, as long as it works?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Because they are petty and need to flex not being cheap.

Because it looks like shit. What else is there to explain?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Well, I don't feel that it looks like shit. It looks good to me.
