It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription
  • Shipping is the other way around for me. It's still two day shipping but doesn't ship for 2-3 days. So they're technically true to their prime benefit.

    How Reddit Crushed the Internet's Largest Protest
  • I agree, however, for my use cases little to none of that quality content came here and I've struggled to get it through other channels. My local subreddit I've taken a peek at and it's as active as ever, along with a few others that are top of mind.

    I'm glad to have learned about the fediverse but it is, currently at least, something different and I'm disappointed I might work in a quick web based scroll through some key subs.

    Honestly the same thing I used to do with Facebook before it became a total and complete wasteland.

    Feds subpoena Ticketmaster over egregious concert ticket prices — A spokesperson for Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, said the firm doesn't “feel comfortable” sharing information with Congress
  • I was watching this happen day of for a show in Montreal just recently. There were few seats available for weeks leading up to the show with resale tickets around 200 to 300 CAD a piece, then day of big chunks of non resale seats came available for a fraction of that.

    Artificial scarcity. Total and complete scam.

  • A world where you could picked based on the user experience of the apps instead of slice of content? Sign me up. To hell with that HBO Max app.

    DoorDash now warns you that your food might get cold if you don’t tip
  • I honestly don't get the hate. People obviously want to order restaurant food to have at home. Maybe they're watching a series, studying, have kids, are introverts... like who even cares the reason. And they're willing to pay more. Why not try to accommodate that?

    To me it sounds like the issue is UX related (contacting customers) and store related (expediting orders in the best sequence). Neither of those seem like the solution is wishing people wouldn't use the service.

    Spotify re-invented the radio
  • Radio does?! Wow, last I had it on the three pop songs on repeat surrounded by an annoying personality and tons of ads gave me the wrong idea.

    Spotify re-invented the radio
  • Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn't even register.

    Spotify re-invented the radio
  • How is Spotify ruining discovery? Imo they're absolutely crushing it, I've been loving their new DJ feature, used it exclusively on a four our car ride and the mix was awesome, and found a couple new bands. My only complaint is that their recent redesign and navigation patterns are a step down.

    Or do you mean in terms of the free plan?

  • This is more UX than UI but the inconsistent volume is a nightmare, adding insult to injury. Everything I want to be equal or quieter is way louder.

    Reddit is dead. Long live the Fediverse.
  • That and the impact. The amount of communism or total and complete anti capitalism without nuance or depth, right or wrong. Reddit was very left, but not like here!

    Can you tell me about any lesser-known local fruits or vegetables in your area that you think more people should discover?
  • I don't see it mentioned so maybe it's not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.

    The agony of indecision
  • Each season was better than the last and it wrapped up really nicely but liking his stuff in general is required. Nothing was better than Vice Principals, imo.

    Passenger on Ill-Fated Diarrhea Plane Says Flight Attendants Were Forced to Craft "Makeshift Biohazard Suits"
  • It's been like 15 years for me after a similar situation and 1-2 times a day is no problem, but the window to get to a bathroom is shorter than I once remember, and any kind of stress, particularly in the morning, makes for a bad time (early travel days, etc).

    People from other cultures who revere cows must feel the same way about beef as we feel about eating dogs.
  • In Catholicism a communion wafer is quite literally the body of Christ -- not symbolic. And Christ, as part of the holy trinity, is literally God. So Catholics do actually believe they're chomping down God every Sunday morning.

    The Trump Proceedings WILL Be Televised and Streamed Live on YouTube, Judge Rules in Georgia
  • Waaaay more painful. Lately, primarily when via Chromecast, I get ads that are three to 15+ minutes long. Whole music videos forced into the middle of my kid watching a kids show. One time I got a literal sermon as an ad. The whole thing.

    It feels like it should be illegal, especially for kids videos. I'm doing dishes the room over and have to stop, dry my hands, dig through my phone to find the skip button.
