"The customer is always right" is how I know time travel isn't possible within my lifetime (non-exclusive) or time travel within the same universe/timeline is not possible. If it was, I'd have gone back in time to take out with great vengeance, furious anger, and extreme prejudice, that nitwit who started that idea.
"The customer is always an idiot" is true much more often than the other one.
"People tend to get really fucking pissed when I take the completely empty left lane all the way to the merge and overtake maybe a hundred cars in the process."
It may be all those "LANE CLOSED MERGE RIGHT" signs you blew by.
"For example, we revile pedophilia, but increasingly sexualize younger and younger girls and boys."
For historical reference, Juliet, of Romeo and Juliet, was 13 and getting to be considered an old maid since she wasn't married yet. So if you're wondering why society is sexualizing younger and younger girls and boys it's because society has pushed the concept of childhood to unnatural lengths, basically society vs. biology.
Amazon sells a much wider variety of goods than Apple and BN.
Different tax jurisdictions can have different taxes for different classes of goods, and what is considered "food" in one jurisdiction may be a "snack" in another. Add tax holidays for certain jurisdictions for certain classes of goods (defined only within that jurisdiction) for certain times of the year (defined only within that jurisdiction) and a broad unrelated selection like Amazon has gets unwieldy, beyond simple lookup tables.

Aren't England's road signs in miles as well (and weight still given as stones by the populace)? Great example of metric adoption there.

Because outside of the world of digital calculators metric sucks?
We can have a quarter pounder with cheese. You have the Royale with cheese. One tells you how much you are actually getting. Otherwise you've got to rattle off "I want a 113.398093g with cheese".
If you've got the app backed up on your computer you can just reload that. So you can do a reset and still have all the apps you had before. Same with new devices.
A guy carrying a full stack of hundred dollar bills in plain view gets rolled, you're not going to say he deserved it? Obviously the guy should be absolved for provoking the mugging.

"All-electric plus quiet tires, makes for a CRAPLOAD of fun. Especially in parking lots, parking decks, high pedestrian areas. I find it enjoyable. "
Don't these silent/near-silent cars get a massive reduction in points per pedestrian since it's so much easier to mow them down without warning?
Walmart probably gets taxes as if it was bought in one of their in-state stores, since unlike Amazon, they do have a business presence.
Which is why the PS4, XBox 720 or any other $CONSOLE++ will never have anything even remotely Other OS like.

Depends on if you're asking someone who can (still) read an analog watch or not.
Analog watch literate: 20 minutes.
Digital only: 0.333... hours.
