3 main reason I cancelled Amazon:

  1. Counterfeits. Can get the items direct for same price & shipping now anyways.
  2. Shipping so unreliable.
  3. My "new" items were quite often repackaged returns, usually missing parts.

I mean, it's pretty simple for me in that I won't pay for a streaming service that has ads. Others might, but I don't care what others pay for. I left cable for this reason and I'll leave its next incarnation if that is to be.

Yup, it's so easy now to buy direct. Same price, same shipping, no counterfeits. One of the things that was really annoying me about Amazon was how often my "new" item was so obviously already opened and returned, often with parts missing. I cancelled and haven't looked back.

This is why I started using wireless charging whenever possible. USB will eventually fail from use.

Same here. I feel Reddit changed for the worse so slowly that I had completely forgotten what the glory days were like until I came to Lemmy. I forgot that there was actual discussion in the comments rather than the same ten lazy comments ad naseum.

I'm kinda surprised Lemmy is losing users since it feels like there is more engagement since I joined earlier this year.

My schools had a zero tolerance policy for anyone involved in a fight for any reason. I saw a few kids suspended for clearly defending themselves. My father gave me regular talks to let me know that so long as the other person attacked first he'd fully support me defending myself however I needed.

Do not try to deceive or scare the Post Op nurse. They have powers you'd happily avoid.

Edge is actually really efficient. Over the years I've gone back and forth between the browsers as each seems to go through periods of inefficiency.
