Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times

I always tell them I'll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.

So far I've only had one taker.

Go punt kick the first fish back into the ocean as it tries to waddle it's fat ass out of the water.

I know that's not how evolution works but I can dream... Life would likely be vastly different given such a long period of time with something like that changing either way.

At least you all can get your family to use it.

I can't even get my spouse to use it unless she thinks what we are talking about might be illegal where we are (it usually isn't)

I've tried convincing family to use it, but all that happens is I just never hear from them until I see them in person or they call me.

They don't even feel the need to back up their Amazon Kindle collection before they get cutoff from it... Thousands of dollars wasted if they ever lose access to the account.

Calling out reposts obsessively is weird to me.There's more people who have not seen something than who have seen it, at least on the internet. I think most people have seen the moon...

But if I ever have a problem where the vast majority of the posts I see are reposts, I'll simply block the channel for awhile. It costs me nothing, and takes less effort than typing out a comment complaining in every repost.

It's the "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE" meme, come to life. And I'd rather let people have their fun. Doesn't cost me, nor anyone else, a thing.

Weird, I just had a bunch of mls tell me just the other day that a comment I made was strawmanning a hypothetical tankie telling me I'm wrong.

And here we see yet another ml strawmanning.

Super Weird.

All I see is a bunch of people saying this is dystopia nightmare shit, and so far the only person I've seen do anything other than call it what it is is the ml comparing this to China.

Surveillance states are bad anywhere, you won't get many people arguing that city wide government facial recognition is a good thing.

I love when people say they feel dumb because they didn't know something, because then I get to share xkcd with them, too.

Lmao this guy thinks hard work is what makes people rich instead of massive amounts of exploitation in an inherently exploitative economic system....

Oh fuck yeah, give me some of that Elite.

Legitimately would love to play it again, Elite: Dangerous is super fun, but nostalgia wins.

Old people and overreacting to normal things because new ideas are scary and confusing

Name a more iconic duo

You heard it here folks, you shouldn't question something unless you are directly affected by it.

But stabbing your neighbor isn't exactly something most people are willing to do.

And any sort of attempt at organization leads to Alphabet Squad raids and whatever bullshit charges they feel like throwing at you after deciding you're guilty of being a dirty commie/socialist/librul/not them.

Both can be true.

I never watched alien growing up, and only half-watched it with a girlfriend (sorry, good movies are great but... Boobs vs stereotypical teenager watching a movie....)

By the time I watched the movie fully, it just held no scare factor for me.

And so many dumb choices were made in Prometheus, it's hard to take the people seriously when everyone is acting like children who have never been in space or a dangerous situation before.
