His lawyer can find a way. If frivolous lawsuits can pass unabated all the time, surely so can an honest one.
Sue them. Take all of their money.
Yes, they are literally just excuses for shrinkflation and companies only benefit from shitheads like you to give them an easy out.
The world doesn’t revolve around tiny minute details and jargon from a field that doesn’t actually positively affect most people’s lives.
Our kitchen scales are the standard, not your overblown overpriced ones that are too precise to be meaningful to the average consumer.
We are in charge, not you.
🤔 Huh. I didn’t believe you until I measured it out on my own measuring spoons. You’re right. My bad fam
All that speech doesn’t change the fact that your standards don’t matter, ours do, and if our scales don’t match what that package says, you have to put more product in to make it do so or you are defrauding us. Period.
Now come back when you’re ready to meet our standards.
A cup is 32 teaspoons, 3 teaspoons per tablespoon, ergo 1 cup is 16 tablespoons. I know this offhand because:
It’s a base 2 measurement system for the most part. Also highly inefficient and imperfect, but so is metric for cooking.
That does not apply in today’s world where shrinkflation and consumer fraud run rampant.
It us solely the company’s responsibility to ensure each package is labeled with the correct weight, not the consumer to tolerate excuses like “measuing errors” whether they’re valid or not. Companies have too much power to just not know or be able to accurately weigh or label their product, ergo if there’s a problem, they chose to have it in there. And if you dispute that, I will simply block you and move on.
Stop defending evil corporations. Stop doing this.
I’ll take blatant consumer fraud for $500, Alex

I might save up and pick up one of the 32" ones after the holidays.
And this is why we buy dumb TVs

Blaming everything on capitalism is oversimplistic and reductive, to be honest.
Climate collapse is a result of industrialization and not capitalism, to start. Unless you want to explain how Stalin and Mao were still burning coal.
Ancient alien theory is extremely racist and I am shocked people don’t reject it on those grounds alone.
I am telling the truth, too. I myself even have touches of dyslexia myself, and yet here I am not using it as an excuse to make life harder than everyone else.
So do millions of other people. And so are you, responding with high school/college level spelling, vocabulary and grammar which you are somehow mysteriously capable of doing when you want to win something.
So clearly, it is possible to expect dyslexic people – like myself and my friends – to be held to the same standards as everyone else.
You don’t have a right to demand people assume everyone who refuses to watch their spelling and grammar is dyslexic.
You don’t have a right to demand no one hold anyone else accountable for anything intellectual or to not let us expect people to know, understand, or do anything. That’s not how life works.
If you are dyslexic, you have to be doubly careful because of it. And it may not seem fair to you, but life isn’t fair, and what you want is an unfair burden on everyone else, including us other dyslexics who do understand that.
You doing that is insulting to the rest of us who do have various learning disabilities and struggles who have to be associated with lazy, selfish people like yourself who think that you’re entitled to skate because of it. You are not, we want to be treated as equals to everyone else, and here you are fucking it up using our disability to imply we’ll never be as good as everyone else and therefore have to have our hand held and treated as an inferior, and I am telling you no, you will not demand we be mollycoddled because you think no one has a right to hold anyone responsible for anything.
Disabilities are not excuses and you’re not going to turn them into one. You have to adhere to the same standards as everyone else whether you like it or not.
Then he isn’t going to be filing a frivolous lawsuit if he chooses to sue over this. It’s as simple as that.
