I already am. At this point, if I'm buying something on Amazon, it's because I cannot find a comparable product elsewhere.

I'm even paying more at other retailers. I haven't run the numbers but before I cancelled prime 4 years ago how, I easily spent thousands. Last year, I think I spent a few hundred.

This year, my goal is less than 100.

Amazon fucking sucks for me now. Every fucking purchase (which is getting rare and rarer) I get asked to join prime.

There is no "don't ask me again". Every fucking time I have to select "Not now".

I've come close to writing a plugin to help you skip these ads.

More likely is Congress authorizing another TARP program for Tesla.

I don't think so. I've talked to a number of my Muslim friends and it's a shit sandwich. I also really like John Oliver's take. Paraphrasing horribly:

Imagine that someone you love was killed by the guns, missiles, and artillery sold by the current administration. Then imagine being asked if you would vote for them. They are (were) in an impossible situation. One that is not hypothetical to their lives. You can't ignore that. But as distasteful as that image is, we have an election and we must choose.

This wasn't politics for the many Palestinians we have here in the states. It was literally life or death.

The "undecided"s in this camp didn't bother me. It's those who had nothing to lose except time that didn't vote that bothered me.

You're welcome! Just remember to be polite.

Costco pays better than most retailers but they still aren't paid to be lawyers. They are likely not aware of the regulation or even their corporate policies on who gets waved through.

Iirc alcohol are the same, though often controlled at the state level so maybe different between states. Some states have regulations on warehouse memberships not being required for purchases.

Most front end employees do not know that federal regulations supersede their authority. Politely ask to see a manager.

Pharmacies are regulated by the FDA (for now anyway. Who knows what things will look like a month from now) and pharmacies cannot bar customers from using their services.

Edit: Here is the official Costco policy

We just need to ban trans people harder. We're just 85% there. We need a few more executive orders and then egg prices will come down.

/s (but only in that Republicans actually believe this)

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Yeah but the YT terms explicitly say that you give them a worldwide royalty free license to do whatever the fuck they want.

Content creators have no say.

I actually like this idea. So long as the CEOs are required to live in the town as well a minimum of 300 days out of the year.

Because working in an office is worth the collaboration.

And I like knowing where the CEOs are so that checks instance name I can play Minecraft with them in person. I get so much more enjoyment playing Minecraft in person and would like to make sure the latency is really low.

Presidents are not allowed to drive over the Secret Service rules. He can be in the car. Just not driving.

Though given its safety issues I highly suspect that the Secret Service will not allow him in the car.
