The problem is in practice judges don’t impose this penalty because they know in most parts of the country it’s an economic death sentence.

Maybe it’s a good idea in like NYC but even in NY there are many people who can’t use the subway to get around.

People don’t like change. Especially when powerful nefarious people are behind it and they don’t feel like they have a say in what’s happening.

Yeah I thought it meant like lose your temper. But unless OP’s temper works on a much different time scale than mine they seem to mean something different.

Oh I didn’t know they had a browser. Interesting.

I didn’t even know they had an app. Why would I need a separate app for a search engine?

All of them I would think.

Surely the Russian revolution involved the general public?

Yeah I was going to say sounds like a win win. But I’m guessing instead they would just let no one through.

That said, entering this way could open you up criminal charges so it might stop some people from going through for that reason.

Well AWS is much harder to avoid that’s true. I’m not sure how you can even tell if a site is working with them. Only way to be sure would be to never go online.

True that’s the main reason I would shop online because some things can’t be purchased otherwise. But I don’t run into that super often.

Next time I’ll pay attention to see if Amazon is involved in some way… I have been boycotting them for a few years now and would like to continue that as best I can. Frankly, with how awful their site has become I haven’t missed it much.

Really? You mean like other websites you buy from are secretly owned by Amazon?

So maybe there is more to discuss here than I thought.

Still I’m a big proponent of brick and mortar shopping. Or better yet, borrow from a friend or freecycle. So I rarely buy things online anyway.

Erotic: sexually arousing or intended for such purpose.

I don’t think vulgarity is a well defined or even useful concept. It’s just another remnant of Puritanism.

Story is definitely missing important context at minimum, like the fact that morales was trying to be president for life, etc.

I just buy most things in person. If that fails I do a web search and buy from another platform. So I’m not sure how much there is to talk about but maybe I’m missing something.

If you have questions or ideas/resources it probably makes the most sense to just post on the existing de-Amazon com, since the audience there is likely to be interested. With the size of Lemmy it’s important not to separate our communities that are too niche, or they won’t really fire.

Public pressure works y’all. Good job.

Very misleading summary of the events that led to Morales’s ouster. He’s just another wannabe dictator. Not that that excuses the US’s meddling.

Nope. Looks like standard ml brainrot. What did you find different about that interaction?

Pretty surprising finding. I guess untangling myth from fact for these sort of conventional wisdom can be difficult.

Well I wouldn’t say it has discouraged care. Frankly it has been more accurate than I would have expected. It’s more that whenever you give it an update it goes wow that’s fantastic news! But then if you read the actual details it’s not so fantastic lol. So it will maintain this sort of fake positivity even as it accurately explains some of the bad things that could happen.

Does it necessarily charge at that rate the whole time though? It slows down as it fills up I believe.
