Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean it's not real.

Underrated approach. Even if the screens are a tad more expensive by today's subsidized standards. There are also many FHD and 4k non-smart TVs on the second hand market, with many given away for free on your preferred marketplace website.

MicroCenter does this. Why do I need to give my phone number for a $2 audio cable? The poor girl at the register started breaking down when I put a 555 number and made me change it to a fake number she couldn't recognize as fake.

What is the management doing to them over there?

I stopped buying from amazon (except books tbh) a long time ago. The thing that really did it for me is the price of cables. Where before it would be e.g. $5 for a cable plus shipping ($4-5 or so) now it's $9.99 with PriMe ShiPpIng if you pay the hundred dollars plus per year for it. Two cables? That's $20 now, and you can't exactly combine free shipping.

In addition, whenever I pass a SKU and exact model number to purchasing, they inevitably buy the wrong item, because the search page is actually just advertisements and not search results.

The compulsory combined bins where an official seller shares a shipping pool with less reputable ones which put in counterfeit items so that unsuspecting customers pay full price for an item just to get a knock-off is another stupid little trick they do and then take NO responsibility for it.

Amazon is an ugly platform now and I avoid it at low cost.

It was my mistake for recommending Amazon to people before. It was my mistake for recommending Google Chrome to people in the same way. And Apple products. I do not make this mistake anymore.

"Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." Speak like a tiktok echo chamber, you may get stuck believing it yourself.

War is big business. The biggest. My family, in Ukraine, would laugh at your basic level of understanding of the situation on the ground. It doesn't look like we're rolling over any time soon though, so there's that.

I'm not a huge fan of the gay parade tbh, but I'm less a fan of countries that enact policies to hang those that would march in it. The world is moving forward, admittedly not everyone is invited. Sad all around.

imho it's a mistake to let a script take the place of an employee instead of enabling the employees already with the company to leverage said scripts in order to compound their skills and knowledge.

Admittedly, 3M developed the world's most popular password manager.

So if enough 737's crash into the water Boeing will start making submarines? Product managers deserve a special express queue when in line for the Warm Place.
