  I think it’s more that it’s hard to understand when you’re extroverted and your job depends on talking to people all day.

  I’m sure this is true for some businesses, but there are also tons of businesses that have no vested interest in commercial real estate. It doesn’t explain all of it.

  Honestly I think a much better explanation is that on average, bosses like being in the office and they don’t understand why everyone isn’t like them. Top leadership tends to be extroverted and they got where they are by lots of networking. They don’t have enough appreciation that for a lot of other types of people and types of jobs, being in the office just makes things harder.

  I think there are different aspects to it.

  Amazon’s delivery service is better than ever. You get products in half the time, with less packaging, and fewer miles traveled to deliver it to you, without any significant increase in delivery fees.

  Price is still competitive when you take into account delivery cost and speed. If you don’t care about those, Amazon isn’t the cheapest.

  Search and reviews are down the tubes. It’s like Amazon no longer cares if their site is overrun with crap products as long as people are buying them.

  Amazon still works great if you only buy name-brand products that are fulfilled by Amazon.

  Also, did you fully cream the butter and sugar before adding any other ingredients?

  If you just dump everything into the bowl and then mix, this is what happens

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the Hell Happened to my Cookies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you scrape the bowl while mixing?

  KitchenAid mixers are great, but depending on what you’re mixing you need to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula and then mix some more.

  I don’t think it’s over mixed, I think the cookies made from the batter that was stuck to the sides are under mixed.

  Bulk mayo makes sense if you’re a restaurant or cafeteria or running a summer camp or something like that. Probably not for many other people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to NSFL?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there’s a huge range of stuff that’s legal but that many people might want to filter out because it’s gross or disgusting.

  The tag “NSFL” may have been created for the most egregious pictures (that might be illegal in some cases), but it was generally applied to a much wider range of stuff in practice.
