Ohbs

I have been having the same issue tonight, glad to know I’m not the only one.

That’s the next level of what turned me away from Spotify the very first time I used it years ago. Their ads would pause if you muted the audio or even lowered the volume too close to muted. Sure, I could take off my headphones, but it was a matter of principle at that point.

The particular one in this post seems to not have been found in the wild, as the source image is the same as the product listing on the Obvious Plant website.

I haven’t yet seen a post of someone genuinely coming across the products in the wild. But I do know that these do get randomly planted in stores, except for food items, which are removed right after any nominal pictures in order to avoid legal trouble.

Objectively, I fully believe what you said. I just wish I could subjectively accept it in my heart as well and no longer feel worry about what others think.

Admittedly, there is value in being aware of social expectations and its nuances. What I want is to find out how to have the sensibility without the anxiety.
