Amazon seems to be following in the footsteps of TigerDirect and NewEgg. Both were amazing sites in the beginning, great deals, great customer service, etc... Then they started allowing fake knockoff brands, direct to consumer products from china, scammers, resellers, fake reviews, terrible refund policies, etc... and it slowly brought down the overall quality of the site and overwhelmed their support staff and eventually fucked over their reputation. The difference with Amazon is they aren't limited to just tech, the fact that they now carry pretty much everything under the sun basically protects them from this same fate, sadly.
"Ever since 2063, we simply drop a giant ice cube into the ocean every now and then. Of course, since the greenhouse gases are still building up it takes more and more ice each time. Thus, solving the problem once and for all."
"But..."
"ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!"
I know this is all just Elon's ineptitude on full display, but there is still part of me that thinks he was paid by certain governments to tank the platform.
Those assholes should have never pushed the shit in the first place. Giving people the freedom to work from home and still live their life at the same time, then trying to snatch it away and force a return to the office, is clearly going to cause some serious push back. But these fucks were more worried about justifying their expensive office leases, than actually listening to and respecting their employees. A lot of those shit companies got what they deserved, empty offices, weakened workforce, and less overall productivity. Good job assholes.
We've known this dude was a piece of shit since the Anita Hill trial in the 90's. This motherfucker has been corrupt since the start, he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself, just like every other rich fuck in this country. So hes not the exception here by any means, he just didn't really make much of an effort to hide it.
Why are these assholes so against helping people? These fuckers are nothing but greedy sociopaths.
Who in the fuck do they think they're fooling? There hasn't been any sort of large corporate antitrust breakup since Bell Systems in the early 80s. They expect us to believe that after 40 years of inaction, suddenly they're going to do their jobs again? This is nothing but pandering to pad approval ratings. I would love to be wrong, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
That man is repeatedly showing the world how stupid he actually is and how little he actually understands about running a company. He has never been in a situation like this where he wasn't surrounded by a bunch of people playing babysitter and doing all the leg work to try to actually get his shit ideas to work. IIRC I saw somewhere this morning that he hadn't even figured out what to call tweets and retweets, he really hadn't thought any further than changing the logo and repeating the same lame idea he had 30 years ago.

Well if this is actually recent, then it is definitely intentional. Trees are usually trimmed in early spring, cutting them back that much in the middle of summer puts a lot of stress on the trees and risks killing them.
I’m not excited to vote for a corporate Dem again, but if that’s what it takes to keep a twice impeached fascist out of the White House, we’ll then, sign me the fuck up.
This is Biden's entire re-election strategy in a nutshell. I'm gonna hold my nose and vote for him too for the exact same reason, but I'm tired of having preselected candidates rolled out in front of me and being forced to vote for the less shitty person.
I wish more of the larger subs were still protesting and didn't roll over so easily. But regardless the site has taken a massive hit to its reputation and one can only hope that recovery won't be possible moving forward and it screws them out of their chance to go public.
I've been working on not saying "Google it" for quite a while. After saying it for over a fucking decade, its a hard habit to break. But I'm finally getting used to saying just "Look it up"
