I mean to be fair, when you spend half of your life making sure you're not going to get killed by the next animal that crosses your path, I suppose you wouldn't care less about something like Amazon.

SweetNicole reeeeeeing over 9000

(Image removed from quote.)

I dunno what is the value of a thread about “a man that used to be a woman gives birth because he still has a uterus” is to begin with. Sounds like something that would be a thrashy story in a tabloid some years ago, not something promoting trans rights.

It's purity-test bait.  The OP knew what he was doing.

The past few pages...

JESUS CHRIST RESETERA

Another one:
https://www.resetera.com/threads/are-there-films-you-avoid-because-people-like-them-too-much.34162/

It has to be worst content(TM) on the Internet at this point. The posts and threads just keep getting worse.
Of course it is. I was interested in seeing where it would go.

The thread was inspired by this post:

Honestly though, those people are getting banned for not thinking the story is newsworthy... even though it's happened dozens of times since 1999.

Is there anyone here who hadn't heard of a transman giving birth? It's not the mindshattering news the trans mods want it to be.

I only use amazon when its much, much cheaper. The shipping cost normally makes their prices on par with local stores. I half ordered/store bought the parts to my last pc, trying to split up cost and shipping issues. Though having two Fry's nearby is probably not a convenience for many.

I use Amazon a pretty disgusting amount to buy pretty much everything. 5% back on the Amazon Prime card is a better deal than a lot of other cashback cards. Plus I get 5% back at Whole Foods too and I have one right next to my work so it's an easy stop on the way home if I need anything.

imo, fuck that and fuck them. Bending over backwards for the "forgotten and left behind" people when they already have a whole channel devoted to them, every weekend I get to read about their backwards ass sob story in the Times, and guess what? They haven't learned a goddamn thing and will not learn a goddamn thing. Trying to drag these people to modern times hasn't worked, won't work, and having a tv show that humanizes these people won't do anything but to enable them to falsely think back to the good ol' days that never existed.

Do you guys honestly use it that much? Doesn't it just have toasters, clothes, and blurays?

I can get pretty much anything delivered to my door by Amazon within an hour, including food from restaurants (55 right now, it's upwards of 80 restaurants in the evening hours.)  All fo Whole Foods, local drug stores, electonics, etc. are available on Prime Now, their "deliver it now" service.

You pay a small fee for lower amounts of items on that, and are asked to tip.

Regular amazon.com has loads of products that are free same-day delivery for me, most are at least free 1-day, with the rest all free 2-day delivery.  I filter so that I don't see non "Prime" results.

I'm also working on a project right now hosted on Amazon AWS, and I meet with them once a week lol.

In reality I don't order from them that much; get groceries maybe once a week when I'm too busy to hit up the store, order restaurant food maybe once every other week because we usually cook or go out, etc.  But it is a super useful service, particularly in major US cities, and particularly in Seattle where their services are usually beta-tested and we've had them for years before anyone else.

Dat convenience:

(Image removed from quote.)

And I'm out in the burbs;  in downtown when I'm at my friends place it's well over 100 restaurants available, including loads of high end sushi and the like.

spend 6 dollars for delivery + tip because you are too fucking lazy to move

The mouth breathing pseudo-intellectuals here are almost as amazing as their little fan clubs that follow them around liking their posts.

I mean, you haven't made a good argument for why hurting Amazon would not have the implication of helping brick and mortar stores and malls.  You say, it would just hurt Amazon and help nobody else.   Why ought policy not recognize the need for local stores to succeed and for local communities to flourish, which will invariably happen if Amazon does less well?  Amazon has been dominating every semblance of every speck of every retail space in existence for the past 25 years, and only gets more and more leveraging power and an unparalleled ability to sell cheap goods efficiently over time.   It's not about sticking to the man -- it's sensible policy to ask Amazon to pay more for the privilege (and it is, privilege) that it enjoys.

Lmao why would you think Amazon failing would mean brick and mortars would somehow start thriving again "Gee, if we get rid of all these Hummers, horse and buggies will sure make a comeback" lmao

 :cac

Delivery is free on most of our orders other than the tip which is standard in the US anyways;  Prime is a no brainer for the most part so it's difficult to calculate how much the fee even matters.  A fraction of what I'd pay for shipping online if Prime didn't exist.  It's hardly a cost, more of a savings.   

They have restaurants on there that are at least a half hour round trip drive from my house in unpredictable traffic;  I'd rather use that half hour to do something more productive than sitting in a car on the once every week or 2 occasions I order.  Also, I party.

*posts a pic that clearly states the delivery is $5.99*
*says it is free*

uh huh.. ok

I mean, you haven't made a good argument for why hurting Amazon would not have the implication of helping brick and mortar stores and malls.  You say, it would just hurt Amazon and help nobody else.   Why ought policy not recognize the need for local stores to succeed and for local communities to flourish, which will invariably happen if Amazon does less well?  Amazon has been dominating every semblance of every speck of every retail space in existence for the past 25 years, and only gets more and more leveraging power and an unparalleled ability to sell cheap goods efficiently over time.   It's not about sticking to the man -- it's sensible policy to ask Amazon to pay more for the privilege (and it is, privilege) that it enjoys.

Lmao why would you think Amazon failing would mean brick and mortars would somehow start thriving again "Gee, if we get rid of all these Hummers, horse and buggies will sure make a comeback" lmao

Well, you see..you bring up a good...look, I'm not completely wro...so, there's supply and dema...listen, I don't like your attitude, okay?

(Image removed from quote.)

I guess if Amazon was forced through various policies to recoup losses by selling things at slightly higher prices, other establishments would then have more of an opportunity to undercut them.  But "other establishments" doesn't necessarily mean corner brick and mortar shop.  It's more like people will comparison shop and buy from other huge websites that just aren't big enough to be hit with the same policies Amazon is hit with.

I remember when Borders went from evil because people went there to buy coffee and page through books while only buying popular items to we're supposed to be sad about it going under because of the lost value to the community. Especially how it brought everyone together to appreciate fine literature and culture made within the community.

Meanwhile, all the niche "mom and pop" bookstores in the city are still around, still as musty and still as poorly lit and organized as ever.

I also remember when Barnes and Noble was the valuable parent company that brought together Gamestop, Babbages, Software Etc., EB, and Funcoland under one roof.

I dunno, I prefer self condescension to Jack Remington style arrogance.
Yet it was the latter you used to turn Andy gay. :thinking
