  • That’s not Amazon’s fault.

    That’s mostly the fault of consumers who buy from Amazon (and other e-tailors).

    There’s quite a few retail stores that don’t keep inventory, even for common things. Staples comes to mind, where it feels like half their damn office items aren’t in stock, so you need to wait for them to have it brought in.

    The problem is that those same retail stores can’t compete with Amazon’s shipping speed. It becomes a case of:

    • I want to buy a thing, I need it fast, so I guess I’ll check my local retails stores
    • My local retail stores don’t have it in stock, but I can order it and it’ll be there in 4-5 days
    • I can just buy it off of Amazon at a comparable price, and have it tomorrow

    It’s alright if they don’t want to carry inventory, but they need to have the shipping speeds to compete, otherwise there’s no reason for the consumer not to just buy it off of Amazon directly.















  • While I agree with most of what you’re saying, it’s also stupid to blame Microsoft for breaking your computer if you forcefully uninstall the Windows store, despite the fact that it’s needed for parts of certain updates.

    A lot of the “debloaters” have no fucking idea what they’re actually doing and are uninstalling/disabling critical parts of the OS so the task manager shows less RAM usage (because God forbid you actually use your damn RAM).
