  • It sounds like you don’t have to make ANY choices which must be pretty nice: it certainly makes it easy for you to judge other people!

    I will absolutely take the easy road on getting non-food items we need twice a month to spend time with my kids and my wife. I would rather amazon than Alibaba, and I would rather do either than give up an hour of my time to shop something dumb like super glue with two kids under four.

    I am also doing the best I can, and I’m sure you mean well, but you sure sound like an officious dickbag.




  • I’m not flexing. It’s a fact. Everybody makes choices and I am making mine. Do you own a car? And if you do, do you put gas in it, earth-raping heathen? Do you water your lawn? Have a gas lawnmower? How about solar panels? You ever take a bath instead of a gallon shower? Buy electronics sourced from countries with weak labor laws? How about sleeping with a fan on at night or participate in wish recycling without consulting your local center?

    I’m sure if we dig enough you’re shitty in some way too, yo. Maybe don’t be a supercilious dirt hat.


  • Counter argument: no.

    For sure Amazon is predatory. For sure the services are overpriced. For sure they are killing Mom and Pop stores.

    But you know what? I shop there for the same reason I shop at a Meijer or a Target or a Payless. Everything I want, one place, unified customer service, and it just shows up at my door. Probably 80% of my purchases are grocery delivery from Meijer and Amazon for basically everything else. Returns are no questions asked, service is fast, and selection is great, I just try not to buy amazon basics if I can help it.

    Shipt, Uber whatever, GrubHub, etc etc delivery services that are supposed to solve the same problem are all fucking garbage. For sure I’m a corporate sellout, but I have a shitload of time to spend with my kids and my wife instead of fucking around with other services or driving around town and I’m not sorry about it 🤷

    Edit: and with prime I got ad free movies, in home delivery, faster shipping, audible, and who knows what else besides. I won’t shop at Walmart so I’m probably a hypocrite, but I’m a hypocrite who is happy with the service for the money.





  • It doesn’t make sense.

    Is it more interesting to see your girlfriend or boyfriend naked or in a sensual situation or porn? How about just someone you know?

    Extending this logic, it is more interesting to see someone you know in se(x/n)ual scenes from an acting perspective. Meaning, while it’s may not help the plot of every movie, I would say having these elements added by your favorite actor gives some pupil dilating special sauce that horny longdong and bouncy jangletits hardcore adventure does not provide.




  • Taking the high road has been working like such a fuckin banger since 2008, we should definitely continue doing it!

    Alternatively:

    Do every borderline legal thing to win or make these things illegal by mutual agreement. It’s stupid to play by the rules when youre the only one doing it.

    You want to gerrymander? Cool, let’s go. You want to force court appointments? Game on. You want to stack the supreme court(s)? Hold. My. Beer.

    Sometime right around clinton’s impeachment, it became clear we are not playing in good faith anymore, and adding more good faith after 20 years isn’t fixing it. It’s time to draw some political blood, and this CAH business is the most softcore possible way of doing that.
