Nobody is arguing it doesn't need air. (or nitrogen)

Those chips definitely do not need as much air as Lays is giving them. They could easily fill the bag to 80% and still have uncrunched chips, instead of the 50% they have now.

They just lower the contents while keeping the price the same to maximize profits. But most people don't notice because the bag is just filled with more nitrogen.

    Just the US wouldn't be enough though.

    We need every major power to do the same, like Russia, and China. Since they fuck with plenty of countries the same way.

    Preach.

    It is the same argument they used to gatekeep souls games whenever someone suggested to add an easy mode for those who want to play the game but lack the skill to do so.

    The intent of the developer is a lot less important than the experience of the player.

    It is like a chef deciding how you are allowed to eat your steak.

    You're missing the point.

    They aren't mad about using the letter. They are angry because the person using it is a huge asshole apparently, so they shit on them for using that letter because it is an easy target.

    The assholish behaviour has plenty to do with them if they encountered it.

    Nah.

    It is easier to drive out than it is to park. And it is easier to drive forward than it is to drive backwards.

    So it doesn't make sense to combine 2 easy things and the 2 hard things together when you can make your life easier and just do easy + hard both times.

    Unless like you said, when you respond to emergencies like fire department and ambulances.
