Probably a lot less safe (and harder to aim) if you don't use the truck. Also unlikely they get all the way down unless you mine it in wheel shapes (increasing labor and also, luckily, danger).

It sounds like you don't have to make ANY choices which must be pretty nice: it certainly makes it easy for you to judge other people!

I will absolutely take the easy road on getting non-food items we need twice a month to spend time with my kids and my wife. I would rather amazon than Alibaba, and I would rather do either than give up an hour of my time to shop something dumb like super glue with two kids under four.

I am also doing the best I can, and I'm sure you mean well, but you sure sound like an officious dickbag.

It's not fun and it's not surprising. Billionaires are generally cancerous and they own a lot of shit. If you can avoid them all, more power to you. I guess it'll be my fault if trump gets elected.

I'm not flexing. It's a fact. Everybody makes choices and I am making mine. Do you own a car? And if you do, do you put gas in it, earth-raping heathen? Do you water your lawn? Have a gas lawnmower? How about solar panels? You ever take a bath instead of a gallon shower? Buy electronics sourced from countries with weak labor laws? How about sleeping with a fan on at night or participate in wish recycling without consulting your local center?

I'm sure if we dig enough you're shitty in some way too, yo. Maybe don't be a supercilious dirt hat.

Counter argument: no.

For sure Amazon is predatory. For sure the services are overpriced. For sure they are killing Mom and Pop stores.

But you know what? I shop there for the same reason I shop at a Meijer or a Target or a Payless. Everything I want, one place, unified customer service, and it just shows up at my door. Probably 80% of my purchases are grocery delivery from Meijer and Amazon for basically everything else. Returns are no questions asked, service is fast, and selection is great, I just try not to buy amazon basics if I can help it.

Shipt, Uber whatever, GrubHub, etc etc delivery services that are supposed to solve the same problem are all fucking garbage. For sure I'm a corporate sellout, but I have a shitload of time to spend with my kids and my wife instead of fucking around with other services or driving around town and I'm not sorry about it 🤷

Edit: and with prime I got ad free movies, in home delivery, faster shipping, audible, and who knows what else besides. I won't shop at Walmart so I'm probably a hypocrite, but I'm a hypocrite who is happy with the service for the money.

My kobo Libra 2 is way, way, WAY better than any of the Kindles or nooks I've owned. So good.

Edit: idk who Amy is but she doesn't belong here.

Now now.

You can't believe anything else he says either.

"Ok Morty, fuck it, I'm doing an opera. It's gonna have.... uh... naked ladies, a lot of fake blood (some real blood), piercings, nuns getting shwifty, and a FUCKING HALF PIIIII- *belch* -IIIIPE!"

How about littorally?

The lady in the bell is where I lost it. Art ("art"?) is fucking weird.

I think the argument being made here is that what you have described is egregious enough and also a fair take on what is alleged to have happened.

Unlike saying "a guy jumped a turnstile and police opened fire for $2" which now looks like a ragebait equivocation.

Bro I can't finish getting myself into it
