I have seen some sellers figure out workarounds. If you have a different SKU, it doesn’t get considered. So for example, Poppi soda sells a 12 can variety pack on Amazon. They sell a 15 can variety pack for the same price at Costco. Different SKU, lower price per unit.

Apologies for the YouTube link but Cory Doctorow explains this phenomenon really well: https://youtube.com/shorts/vrgtV_yxxn4

I think it would be both normal and probably welcomed by a lot of them (as long as you’re not pushing an MLM.) Worst case scenario, they decline your friend request, but it’s not “weird.”

Well, I have kids so getting them gifts, and a nice dinner with them and their mom (she and I are still friends and good co-parents, just not good spouses to each other.)

Shit, I knew that without reading the article.

I genuinely have no idea if you’re serious or trolling.

Not everyone uses the same client.

I had to read far too long to confirm this was Georgia, the European nation state, and not Georgia, the state in the USA.

(American cops are fucking sociopaths who would absolutely use this weapon if they had it.)

Oh gosh, yeah.

Fascism wants you dead, so it makes sense that fighting it helps you live longer.

Using “ruckus” I the title and not referencing Wu Tang in the article? Straight to jail.

Hold on, you can simply tack on 10-50 dollars to your cell plan and get a “free” upgrade every year instead!

It genuinely floors me that few medium and large-sized companies don’t use Linux for desktops. You can customize gnome or KDE to work very similarly to windows from a UI/UX perspective, especially with the number of web based apps companies rely on. Windows and Office might start sucking less if they had real competition.

Pro tip: when your customers don’t like your product, it’s not their fault. It’s yours, and the appropriate response is not complaining or incredulity that people don’t like it. The appropriate response is to change the product or scrap it completely.

This seems really interesting, and the die mechanic means that it’s easy to get knocked down from the best level but progressively harder to fall further.

Seems like this was based on the people whose images were being exploited complaining to the court, so their view of what infringes their reputation.

Except a remake would not use the original actor’s image, a trailer is part of marketing the actor agreed to, and parodies are covered by fair use.

Pointing out hypocrisy isn’t whataboutism, nor is recognizing that the news media (in basically every country) is to some degree producing propaganda.

As opposed to other countries where that advice is merely implied, by making enforcement of anti abuse laws a joke, and not doing a thing to address the systemic issues that keep people in abusive environments.

It’s what we do. Look at how Colin Powell was basically eulogized as a black general who was somewhat critical of the worst excesses of the bush administration, with zero discussion of the war crimes he committed in Vietnam, as well as the cover-up he attempted of the My Lai massacre. HW Bush was a CIA ghoul who got whitewashed as a doting grandfather and statesman.
