Like, yes, but also consumers are the electorate and the people we elect need to represent us. We keep electing people who represent the businesses’ interests and not our own, despite alternatives, and so we have it in our heads that these things are more separate than they are. We have the control, we just refuse to use it to the point where most people have forgotten that.
Instead, all they really ever need to do is step-down and get a high-paid consulting job and for some reason that’s enough.
Absolute insanity.
You don’t need to picture it, it’s right now.
I have always voted progressive, never even centrist. I live in Canada, also, but yea I don’t actually make the rules but the people I vote for to make said rules don’t like Amazon either.
Did you miss the part where I said I’d be looking for filters elsewhere even if they cost a bunch more?
I cannot tell what side of the argument you’re trying to be on here, gunna be real hokest with ya.
6€ is enough for you to give a sale to Amazon and take a sale away from a better business? That’s how cheap your morals are?
It super depends on what you’re buying. Personally, I just go without in order to avoid them. The only things I ever buy from Amazon are things I cannot find anywhere else that I need to have, such as water filters for the lead pipes in Montréal.
We don’t have the luxury to ignore how bad Amazon is. Amazon is aware of this and does everything it can to force you to buy from them by under cutting other businesses until competition dries up. Every time I can buy something for a little bit more and skip Amazon that’s a huge a win for everyone from the original supplier, the more local store selling it, and the working class in general.
Edit: Reading and writing more comments, I’m gunna find a way to get those filters from elsewhere even if they cost a bunch more.
Something nice about them going “no thank you, you aren’t important enough for us to cancel our other plans.”
Trump loves it when people yell at him, it’s validating. Ignoring him like this, sending a very clear message that he’s completely not worth the effort, when he explicitly invited them? That gets him.
To be very clear, this only works because he did the inviting. Absolutely people in the US should otherwise be yelling quite loudly, starting fires, and organizing to keep themselves safe and to fight back as a group.
We’re all boney, ray-finned fish.
The only people in the US being broadly unjustly called pedos are minorities. They are being called that by his party and the people who support his party.
Don’t do work for this parasite.
So, we do understand “context” though, right? No one is hearing about a guy who never hurt anyone but who is managing their problem and thinking “I’m gunna go beat them up.” However, there do happen to be a whole lot of people on Cruz’s side of the aisle, including the president, who seem to be the absolute worse possible version of a pedophile.
You haven’t said anything that nullifies, or even weakens, the arguments made or sentiments show in this post.
While it’s true that Bruce Jenner is not their name even if they’re deeply horrid, it feels like Cruz here calls himself Ted so that he can get votes from racist people who wouldn’t elect him solely based on his name. I’m 50/50 on it.
The only stories I’ve ever heard of involving AI are told by people who, once again, are unable to see how their increase in productivity is not being met with a reduction in work hours. Unless, or course, “reduction in work hours” means they are being shown the door so a different idiot can do kore work for the same amount of pay.
Why does everyone feel the need to do as much as possible as quickly as possible at all times of every single day? And why are most people I talk to using ChatGPT to replace Google searches so they don’t need to actually think?
We all need to slow the fuck down.
Do…do you know how a jury works?
Not only that, but us straight, white dudes do so many shootings that despite there really not being that many trans people they’re still under-represented. It’s not like there were only five shootings and so 20% was by a trans person, there were so many that it’s less than a percent.
It’s not just the flat numbers, but the percentages, too.
Something tells me fighter planes don’t get updates from anything other than a computer plugged directly into them.
If the other options don’t exist then how are the private daycares struggling to fill the classrooms? People need their kids taken care of, I doubt anyone is prematurely taking their kids out of private daycare.
Yup, and all because it’s what people say.
And then people go “you have to vote Liberal or the Conservatives will win!” and it’s like, ya’ll voted Liberal and conservatives did win! And not only that but in doing so they also further delayed the country by shooting our major progressive option in the foot!
I just wish people had a baseline intelligence that wasn’t so embarrassing.
I feel like the dwarf would start calling _you_slurs and would be getting proper firey and the elf wouldn’t care, not because they’re enlightened or anything, but because they don’t see you as a person and therefore don’t care about your opinion.
