I don't live in a 3rd world country, so I guess I just don't understand the concept of needing to arm myself before leaving my house because I'm likely to need a deadly weapon while I go about my business.

When the solution is "Vigilantism" you know the situation is fucked.

Make sure you remove your credit card from the account, or check your statement each month to make sure they didn't sign you back up.

Love how it takes them 3-5 business days to return the money they stole from you.

We had to remove our credit card from our account because Amazon kept charging us for Prime and I would have to call them to get it cancelled and refunded (and wait 3-5 business days to get our money back).
We were very careful when checking out that we didn't have anything checked saying "sign me up for Prime", even had it happen on a day where we did not place an order (and therefore weren't on the site) for at least a week on either side of us "signing up for Prime." Once we took the card off the account it stopped happening, so it wasn't anything we were activating.

It's annoying to have to re-enter our card information if we want to order something, but less annoying than having to call them every month to cancel Prime again. And anything that increases the barrier to using Amazon is probably a good thing anyway.

Somewhat related to this:

Talking on your cellphone while driving: illegal
Using a hands-free device to talk on your cellphone while driving: legal
Resting your head against your hand while driving: legal

Legally resting your head against your hand while driving, and your hand comes in contact with your legal hands-free making it no longer "hands-free": straight to jail.

Distracted driving is as dangerous as drunk driving.

The #1 cause of distracted driving is cellphones.

Cellphones are now illegal.

The comedy of errors that resulted in World War 1 seems to indicate that there is a group of time travelers trying to make sure this time line happens.

We are on the internet right now, you could easily look this up:

As a general rule, butter that’s tightly wrapped and refrigerated should last anywhere from one to three months...

According to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, “butter and margarine are safe at room temperature. However, if butter is left out at room temperature for several days, the flavor can turn rancid,

Maybe it's salted butter that is used as a preservative.
