Let me get this straight. You think somebody else wiped down the fingerprints on the gun, shot him, and then stuck his finger on the trigger without thinking about creating any fingerprints? Does seem like someone half-assed the wrong step of that operation…

… and TP. don’t forget to stock up on TP

Reminds me of a thread I saw here a while ago on “What if advertising were illegal?”

I’ve found the best method for reducing my need on Amazon is to just buy less crap. Online shopping is simple because you can get stuff immediately, but I don’t think anybody “needs” 3-4 new products per week.

Aside from that, I try and support local: find local shops that sell items similar to my style, or trust word of mouth for online retailers that are good. At the end of the day, as long as you’re buying good-quality stuff (which oddly seems to spend less on advertisements) it doesn’t really matter where exactly you buy from, as it’s all pretty similar in price / quality.

Is it delivered via Amazon or just in Amazonian packaging? I guess I don’t mind either as much, since I can’t expect a small seller to keep two separate streamlined processes…

This has also saved me on more than one occasion as I’ve tried to find the same “brand” of something I was going to buy on another site, only to find it was actually an Amazon product they were trying to push. Dodged that bullet for sure

Love me some rat cereal

But like… deleting the data would lessen the sale price. Much easier to just delete your account and keep the data in an “anonymous” form. How are you (as the consumer) going to ever know if it’s actually deleted?

I agree with @Num10ck@lemmy.world – Tesla did some amazing things, and really paved the way for electric vehicles (especially vehicle charging infrastructure). But they went too fast and quality went down and they’re trying to make up for it by Magats buying to support Trump.

the media will be all over it

Tesla is already the most deadly car brand, but why aren’t the media already “all over it”? What makes you think it will be any different with autopilot? https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/tesla-highest-rate-deadly-accidents-study-1235176092/

Can someone create a guide with this? Best tools, what to do if the comment thread isn’t also on Lemmy, how to change your Reddit comments to gibberish, etc

Or does this guide already exist? (Should be included on the welcome letter to Lemmy if so)

What’s an “active user”? Can I just up vote things I like, do I need to leave comments like this, or must I get involved in senseless flame-wars?

vote Kamala. anything else will make you hate everywhere else in addition to America :D

It’s hype like this that breaks the back of the public when “AI doesn’t change anything”. Don’t get me wrong: AlphaFold has done incredible things. We can now create computational models of proteins in a few hours instead of a decade. But the difference between a computational model and the actual thing is like the difference between a piece of cheese and yellow plastic: they both melt nicely but you’d never want one of them in your quesadilla.

This is really great journalism. Someone needs to edit his Wikipedia page and point to this as evidence. Then we can start citing the Wikipedia page to make up discover more of these stories

the real puzzle is wtf happened to the 9th book…

oh. go get a therapist–not physical; mental. they’re insanely expensive, but you can spend the next three months shopping around and by the new year you’ll have found someone you like!
