That was because their fees were based on the sale price of the item minus the shipping. So they were only paying fees on 1 cent. They changed the fees so that the total sale including shipping is calculated.

It encourages more consumption

If the code automatically shows the article or summarizes it without clicking on the link, then yeah, that’s infringement. It should only show the title and the link imo.

A lot of marketing strategies are pseudoscience. Just like a lot police investigation practices or body language assumptions.

It is kind of a dick move when companies overcharge for shipping. I only charge calculated shipping on large or heavy items because those are the ones that vary a lot and I don’t want someone in zone 8 (like Southern California or even someone in HI buying it and shipping costing more than they paid. If it’s under 1 lb then I just give free shipping and bake it into the price.

I always round way up because sales tax is so high here. 17.99 = $20. I’m usually within the $1 range when I check out.

Pretty normal in the u.s. as well. Usually when there is a large family gathering like a wedding.

Thank you, after 2020 we were all warned Republicans would ramp up efforts to disenfrachise and prevent people from voting in a ton of ways. They screamed interference and they always project. I think Trump was mad that his efforts to cheat in 2020 didn’t work like they did in 2016. I would not be surprised to find out that votes were lost or removed. Florida was reporting 95% like 2 hours after the polls closed? I think the Dems could have tried to contest results in many states, but the amount of time and money required to address everything would be unreasonable and would make them look like they’re just acting like Trump. I think they also wanted to avoid scotus setting some kind of precedent. I’m looking forward to the YouTube video essay in 20 years explaining it all.

Some people’s job is to improve security by finding flaws.

They had a damn cop run for president and then took the black vote as a given. Fucking dumb.

The average Democrat is a well off person living in the suburbs who doesn’t want higher taxes but doesn’t want to appear racist.

Literally politicians hand wringing because criticism of the PRC is perceived as racist just like the claims of criticism of the state of Israel are called antisemitism. Any time you criticize the PRC on reddit a sock puppet will appear and call you racist. It’s just a way to shut down criticism. I don’t appreciate your ant-native rhetoric, they have every right to use bait to fish with.

China plays the race card every time they’re criticized.

I think that Netanyahu has more power than Putin at this point.

It’s all drop shipped from China anyway. I ordered a custom flag from Amazon and it cost $15.

Implying I could afford that shit in the first place 🤡

A lot of millennials were pro war back in 2001+ a bunch of people I went to school with joined the military. People would say “support our troops!” When you criticized the wars. This is nothing new, just brainwashing.

Australian government is pretty hamfisted when it comes to this stuff.

The Democrats love him because he invigorates voters in the midterms and the next presidential election.

That’s called terrorism
