  1. Oh, shove it up your ass. The Christian religion/cult is exactly the same way. That's why 100% of our Presidents and 99% of our CongressCritters are Christian. That's why racists are screaming about "Judeo-Christian values". Christianity already took over the US.

    Yes, they should be vetting everything they sell. Any brick and mortar retailer is responsible for what they sell. Why should Amazon be able to sell dangerous, illegal things and then blame it on the supplier? They should know who their suppliers are.

    If Amazon takes the money, then they're the seller. Full stop. There's no legal entity called a "platform".

    This is Amazon's responsibility. They're selling counterfeit, dangerous merchandise.

    You're paying on average 2-3% more for everything for this convenience. Personally, I don't like Visa/MC enough to give them 2-3% of everything I spend. But, to each his own.

    So what's your goal? To make the country an absolutely horrible place for people to live in, just because you think that the US Constitution was written by your God and needs to be followed to the letter? What's the point of that, exactly?

  9. Six years is considered "good" by Apple customers? Really? Do y'all only wear your clothes once and buy new cars every year? Just before posting this (insightful) comment, I just purchased a bunch of refurbished mission critical equipment for our business (workstations and servers), all of which are older than 6 years old, and running OS's that are more than 6 years old (Windows 7 for the workstations). Apple's lack of support is a big reason why we don't use their hardware/software.

  10. I see it as you're helping out Amazon for free. It used to be that retailers had product knowledge, and helped their customers choose products. Now, people such as yourself do it for Amazon for free, and Amazon reaps all of the rewards. You don't feel cheated, in that you give away your time for free, and Amazon makes money off of it?

  11. So, why do you feel that it's your responsibility to tell other random people about random stuff you buy? Are you getting paid to do so?

    It's called historical context, you stupid anonymous fuck. Pick up a history textbook that's not from Texas and learn something.

    Oh, please. Don't pretend that mocking Obama and mocking Trump are anywhere near the same thing. That's stupid. But then again, voting for Trump is about as stupid as you can get, so I'm not all that surprised that you don't get it.

  14. Flyover country is so incredibly outdated, backwards, and dependent on the taxes of those on the coasts, that I think yes, they should be at least partially ignored. Right now, we've got the kids making the decisions for the entire family, even though they're just kids (and don't have an income).

    If you think that the election of a nation should be swayed by a handful of cities while the rest of the nation is completely ignored, well, you're an idiot.

    "Counties" are voting members of this republic, now? Trump won a bunch of counties with no people in them. Hilary won counties where there are a large number of people. It seems silly to allow empty counties to have more influence than heavily populated counties, don't ya' think?

  16. The myth of the "common folk" in the middle of the country is just that. There's a tiny minority of Americans who live in those flyover states that elected that orange piece of shit. The "common folk" ARE on the coasts.

    What in the fuck are you talking about? Reality is a "narrative"? Really?

    There are a lot of dumb people believing dumb shit (including yourself, obviously). Society is being affected in bad ways, as a result. The truth doesn't need you the believe it's "narrative" or not.

  22. Dumb title on 'Quit Social Media. Your Career May Depend on It.' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That title suggests that the article is about the very real idea that what you post on social media can cost you your career. Instead, it's an article saying that posting on social media won't magically lead to a career. I'm confused as to why the author would ever think that posting on social media could lead to anything in the first place. Very strange premise.

  23. It obviously pains Democrats terribly that we live in a democracy, but don't worry, they are already working on imposing Soviet-style restrictions on the political process and the media to ensure that they stay in power.

    Yet another lie
    Donald trump has threatened many times to curtail the press and sue people who don't agree with him when he becomes President. There has been no call from any Democrats that I'm aware of, advocating for government censorship.

  24. And if we had elected Clinton, we would have just ended up with a different kind of "racist, sexist, xenophobic authoritarian strongman",

    No, the two are not anywhere similar to each other, and that lie, repeated millions of times to uneducated, unthinking people, is what made this happen.
