Don't complain to the delivery service, complain to the merchant that the package never arrived. Soon they'll start avoiding using that delivery service.
Say what you want, the most reliable delivery system around here is still the old postal service. Screw the rest.
Our postal service offers those things, for a fairly affordable fee. They're quite common in apartment houses now, and unless a bunch of people receive packages at the same time and ain't home (read: like right now before Christmas) there's rarely collisions with no room in the drop boxes. It works pretty well and takes care of package theft.
I don't know about your country, in mine, if you commit a crime against me, you can't have a case against me unless I commit a crime against you in retaliation that is not a direct result of the crime you committed. So if you break into my home and I crack your skull with a baseball bat, it might be considered overstepping self defense, but certainly nothing more severe. If I manage to subdue you somehow and THEN continue to torture and maim you, make you my sex slave and upload it all on Pornhub, complete with your private information, it's a crime against you that is no longer a direct consequence of the crime you committed, because I could have not done it without any potential ill consequence against me. I'd have to stop at the point where you are no longer an immediate danger to me.
In this case, the person setting up the trap cannot even stop the thief from opening the package. Yes, he set up a trap, but he in no way enticed the thief to steal the package. He didn't go "hey, buddy, look, you can have it, nobody's looking". He put a box on private property where nobody but the rightful owner has any business touching anything.
I can't talk about your legal system, but if anyone stealing this box can have a case, it's FUBAR and should be replaced with something sensible.
And if they still want to call, I'm more than willing to take that call and talk with them about whatever insurance they want to sell, about whatever problem my PC has and even about anything else that could trouble them.
It's not much better in the "west". A couple years ago I was in a restaurant and a guy complained about a mother breastfeeding her baby, she even put a cover over the child so you couldn't see anything and he still complained about it because "he knows what's under the cover". I loved the reaction of another woman calling him out that he's probably more pissed at the existence of the cover considering how he was looking over at the scene.
What's the world's obsession with tits about? Honestly, people, I don't get it. You've had the internet for a while now, I highly doubt you haven't seen them in pretty much any shape, form, size and fashion.
I'm still waiting for this fairy tale to manifest.
Seriously, prices have very little to do with production costs. The costs are the bare minimum for the price, because selling under would mean that you incur a loss with every item sold, but that's it. The price of a product is where the seller expects the highest profit. You think those iPhones cost almost the 1200 bucks to make that they're asking? Please.
So unless those 3% tax put the production cost over the selling price, don't expect the price to change at all. And considering the reported profits of the companies involved, I dare say it's not even close to it.
But at least this time the browser we have to work around isn't bundled with the OS we have to work around. So it might not be as bad as it used to be back then.
Let's be honest here, what is left now? I'm dead serious. Is there any other use?
For personal family pics, there's sites with better organization, for "hey look at this shit" there's snapchat, what function does tumblr serve now anymore?
Ok, not really, I just am pissed by those idiots that take pictures of their food instead of eating them, but if that means these pics go away, I'll... excuse me while I find me a cute looking banana.
Odd. Where I live that's the staple of conservative suggestions. Just outlaw everything and the problem goes away. Drugs were an especially great success story.
Wait, an AI can, in this day and age, clearly identify a male by looking at it? Could it teach me? Last time I did that I was yelled at for assuming its gender.
I'm using what's required to ensure my characters are properly represented in the medium chosen for display. Which means that I don't get all zealot about insisting that MY stuff is right and everyone else is wrong because they don't join my obviously vastly superior cult.
Because we have to start somewhere. This is essentially grownups acting like little Timmy, claiming that his invisible friend Bob said that broccoli is bad.
Well, then we might have a bigger problem at our hands than we currently know, because for all we can tell, this is what people want to see. I don't have a clue why, but if there are people subbing to them, and we're not talking about a few 100 fringe interest loonies, then I guess you'll get this reaction. Especially if you sell that video with the slogan "everyone controls rewind".
Last I checked it's absolutely a-ok to downvote a video with a misleading clickbait title...

Get a premium number.

For hours, if necessary.

Personally I'm into food.

We gotta save our kids from nipples!
Wait... something about this just doesn't sound right...
Odd. Where I live that's the staple of conservative suggestions. Just outlaw everything and the problem goes away. Drugs were an especially great success story.
Why do you think it's either-or? It sounds to me more like a symbiotic relationship.
We're talking men here, not bitches.

So you're with Timmy.
I'm using what's required to ensure my characters are properly represented in the medium chosen for display. Which means that I don't get all zealot about insisting that MY stuff is right and everyone else is wrong because they don't join my obviously vastly superior cult.
Dude, stop it with the facts. This is about religion.
Then you should be fine, provided you don't eat any meat with it.
Because we have to start somewhere. This is essentially grownups acting like little Timmy, claiming that his invisible friend Bob said that broccoli is bad.
Hmm... personally, I'd think that artificial meat would be less contaminated with antibiotics and growth hormones, but to each their own.
Judging by the way your 's get displayed, you're already member of a cult.

"Movement"?
Oh, sorry, I didn't know that you need a movement now to dislike something that's garbage.
I wouldn't call consumerism an extreme ideology...
Now do one where you de-bone the toilet.
