- Comment on Why is Amazon Prime overpriced in the Anglosphere demographic? 19 hours ago:
I could be wrong but I think what you’re seeing is an entrenched market versus newer ones. Amazon is shrewd about stomping its competitors by luring millions of customers with prices that are too good to be true. They get them hooked on the product and then hike the price when it becomes too habitual to get rid of.

- Comment on Hay fever season is upon us 6 days ago:
My clarification does not come from a place of negativity just trying to elucidate on a very commonly held perspective.
- Comment on Hay fever season is upon us 6 days ago:
A shitpost but deserves some nerdy clarification. Flowers pollinated by animals(bees, ants, moths, bats, etc) are almost never the source of hay fever type allergies. These include almost every flower you can think of including the tulips seen here.
The ones that are wind-pollinated produce the respiratory allegic reactions. These are oaks, gingko, willows, pines, cedars, most grasses (rice, corn, wheat, barley, rye, bamboo), hops, ragweed (not goldenrod as is often conflated) etc.
The exception are moulds, but they are not pollen-producing nor even flowers at all. They produce spores. If you want to have a mind fuck look up the reproduction cycle of ferns, moulds, etc.

Exactly.

Fox News would find any reason to criticize Obama and one time he wore a tan suit and they flipped the fuck out saying it was not presidential.

It isn’t just a meme. It is carbon injected into the atmosphere to melt the planet and it also sucks. The joke sucks.

Oh I left before I was “promoted”. It was a hellish place and you’d definitely know the company if in North America.

About as bad as the last company I worked at, a VP would say folks who were laid off were “promoted to customers”.

The marketing photo used is for the iPod. Apple is and was quite good at marketing, they could have used an original iphone marketing campaign.

Then they should have not used an iPod.
