No.

Amazon is what it is because it creates an easier path for America to buy cheap, as Walmart and McDonald’s has done before to great microscopic economic success, due to the failures of our economic paradigm that shrinks wages and pushes manufacturing offshore for corporate profit.

We need higher wages, which create higher prices, which corrects for the misdeeds of our economic exploitation of foreign economies.

We have offloaded our economic burden onto other poorer nations, and that needs to stop. Pay a living wage and accept the higher cost at lower profits. Doing otherwise is an economic ouroboros that only swallows the easy part at the sake of the whole in the name of kicking an inflationary can down the road so that yachts can grow larger as the foundation of this country in undermined for icarian profits.

Fuck your CEO, pay us so they can pay us something and they can have less than everything, so they can keep from having nothing less than more than we can achieve through reluctant violence.

PMCs didn’t instigate the war in Ukraine, Russia did.

The only right answer.

I guess “joust her right then and there” also would be acceptable.

Not that I want to help serial killers, but…

Statistically the best victims are black because their murders have the lowest solve rates(59% black vs 87% for whites). Chicago is even worse with 21.7% solve percentage in black neighborhoods compared to 45.6% in white neighborhoods.

So targeting black people in black neighborhoods in Chicago gives you better odds, which can be further increased if you target homeless people or sex workers and kill through means that can be dismissed as accidental like overdose.

I was talking about trying to get Pad Thai at Soi Pradu, but having some street meat could be fun too I guess.

Alright who wants to do a Lemmy field trip to Thailand? We should see Moo Deng before Bangkok, because of the implications.

It is a rounding and reduction of genetic markers.

21/64 Germanic markers equals 1/3 German in speech because everybody hates the twenty-one sixty-fourths German guy.

Somewhat relevant to your second point, I don’t like it when they speak English and it doesn’t make sense.

Breaking Bad bothered me so much with how often the native Spanish speakers were talking in English, while in Mexico, with other native Spanish speakers. It isn’t like they didn’t allow Spanish in the show, there was a fair amount, they just arbitrarily decided that the scenes where it made the most sense to speak Spanish that English was the right language.

I get the impression Ben and Jerry’s does actually care bout progressive issues, but they are that rare exception.

Just as someone is left or right handed, the proclivity for consensual acts of humiliation is an uncommon relic of avian behaviors that have pesisted to manifest in inate human behaviors.

No, they just do that. Ferrets are ADHD incarnate.

Ok, but can’t we just cook $300 worth of bacon and find out who is right and have enough bacon to stop my heart instead?

The best kind of sarcasm is right.

That isn’t an ambidextrous gun, so it belongs on the right.

Remove the /s, you are right and the commenter was ignorant of traditional American etiquette.

From experience that is about $20-30.

One that doesn’t know she has bladder control issues.

Not the same sort of thing. Bose’s “magic carpet” suspension used linear electromagnetic drivers and sensors to move the suspension to compensate for the road conditions detected. They took speaker drivers on steroids and did noise cancellation on bumps and dips in the road.

Magneride and similar use an electromagnetic coil to adjust dampening by acting on a ferrofluid, which changes how hard or soft the suspension is. You want a stiff “sport” suspension, fluid is high viscosity and harder to move. You want a soft “comfort” suspension, the fluid is lower viscosity and moves easily.

It was Bose. Yes, the premium sound system producers. It never went anywhere, despite being practical magic, because it added around 2,000lbs and cost six figures.

They also developed a semi-tractor seat using the same sort of voodoo, which is on the aftermarket for around $5k installed.
