Jill Stein was on record saying she hoped Trump won to teach democrats a lesson. You wanted democrats to lose. It was your only principle. That is what makes it blindingly obvious that you want Gazans to die and you want Trump to help that happen more often.
Yeah, we’re basically in agreement on all of it. I do wonder – what happened to FlyingSquid? All of a sudden they stopped using LW. No comments or posts at all. I hope they are ok.
You telling others how to live their lives assumes things are like they were 15 years ago even though they absolutely aren’t.
Binary, yay. You can tell that I love amazon by the way I talk about it.
Thanks for reminding me you know my city better than I do, and dismissing my efforts to do just what you’re suggesting.
I’m just being realistic. You’re being dismissive of others’ situations
“If it’s done out of greed, they let you do it”
Lol yes of course. At this point posting that is very akin to blaming me for how society exists in its current form, like that famous cartoon. “Curious, you participate in society yet disagree with it”
I have built my life around avoiding driving in the years since this incident for a million reasons, so you’re preaching to the choir.
Yep. I agree with the idea that autocracy is worse, but I couldn’t disagree more that “anyone can handle 4 years of economic distress”
How would you respond to going to your local grocery store and finding any non food product you’ve bought your entire life in grocery stores is either not available or isn’t half the time? That’s the kind of shit I’m seeing. Trust me, I know Amazon is mostly responsible for this. But life is already hard enough, I can’t spend all my time traversing town to buy basics. It’s an uphill battle I won’t win.
I blocked the politics comm on LW and I’ve been less angry since. That place blows
Yeah I agree with almost all of this. I think he’s the fall guy, I just had said that in a comment a couple hours ago actually. But he doesn’t seem to mind it. Because as you said, he’s still publicly defending those bad and wrong decisions.
A lot of those items may as well not exist if Amazon is entirely off limits. I have tried what you’re suggesting, canceled prime and avoided Amazon for months. Ultimately I went back after having quite a bit of trouble.
You probably aren’t American, because if you were, you’d know that even pretty large (but smaller ) chains have often had to close. Years ago stores like bed bath and beyond closed in my area. Smaller stores than that stand even less of a chance.
How the hell are they supposed to keep up with increasing business costs when Amazon is completely eating their lunch? Another example – I was a big fan of radio shack. I liked buying there my electronics adapters, cables, and most things they sold, but that entire chain was destroyed. You don’t seem to understand this or that the mom and pop shops have an even tougher time staying in business, at least in many locales. I live in a medium city btw. I’m not in the middle of nowhere. Retail is all but dead here.
Yeah Jordan didn’t ever say “they didn’t cross the line today”, it was much worse than that. He pretended each comment and post stood on its own and that he had no way of knowing UM was a troll because he could make a pretend argument that in each case no rule was broken. It didn’t matter that UM broke the trolling rule every 10 minutes for many months because we cannot possibly just view their profile and see an OBVIOUS pattern that a large swath of the community noticed.
I’m thinking of Russian asset Jill Stein, whose enthusiastic support of trump, because of his genocide support, attracted your absolutely lying ass’s vote.
Funny you should mention that. Disinformation campaigns disseminated by trolls from around the world are partially responsible for that.
“What everyone thinks” certainly should matter. If everyone is saying it’s a troll, it’s probably been clear for a while that it’s a troll. The evidence was overwhelming. Pretending it was absent proves my point.
You can ignore the point about everyone thinking they are a troll, which breaks rules, but it stands.
I wish I agreed. There are several products in the past couple years which I couldn’t find from any company that seemed at all reliable. I can give a recent example if you want.
After in the past literally waiting two months for items that never arrived and other weird experiences, easy seems pretty attractive. I wish at least some other companies could compete without being so goddamned shitty. Because yes, Amazon certainly is that.
Yeah you’ve said that a lot but I know what I saw. Dozens minimum were routinely saying things like “this troll hasn’t been banned yet? Wtf?! They are a super obvious troll”
Any discussion that discounted that was not a good one . If you got made the fall guy, that sucks but from the user perspective, you defended an obvious troll.
Yikes man… This is my daily thought
