So what exactly did you do to piss off the Amazon Returns department? Because from my experience, they are the most lenient company when it comes to returns/refunds. I’ve had stuff arrive broken, or scuffed up, or it was the wrong item, or I just plain didn’t like a product and every time I’ve been able to submit a return without having to interact with a single person.

I feel like you either have to be lying about your experience, didn’t even try to return it, or did something that got your account flagged.

Frothing at the mouth

I’m not sure it was a lie, it’s the kind of thing that’s so minor it’s easy for someone on the marketing team to just not know about.

It’s like if a snack company put out a message saying they used no animal products and then later found out that a derivative of beeswax was used to lubricate some of the mechanisms in their packing machine.

If you want to be absolutely inflexible and refuse to allow any exceptions to the rules, no matter the circumstances, that’s fine. But you’ve gotta recognize the irony in that line of reasoning being more machine-like than human.

I think you’d be better with an automatic text to 911 rather than an automatic call.

I’ve heard that claim before. Anyone have a source?

Windows 11 are broken

How much money do you think 4chan gets from the UK? I promise it’s not much.

Are you seriously trying to say that if you have a website, no matter where it’s hosted and what you are hosting, you are subject to the laws of EVERY SINGLE COUNTRY that has internet access?

Here’s a text picture of Muhammad lying down: O<–<

Are the admins of lemmy.world now subject to being put to death in Somalia? Under Somali law, that is blasphemy and punishable by death.

To play devil’s advocate, an issue arises when there AREN’T more verifiable sources. If someone makes an outlandish claim like “Billy Joel used to wash his ass with crisco” and cites a dubious interview, it’s hard to find a source that definitively states Billy Joel DIDN’T wash his ass with crisco. Even worse, is if there was an actual, verified instance of one time where Billy Joel washed his ass with crisco. That may have been the only time he ever did it, and it may have been done as a joke or something like that, but now we have an interview saying he did it regularly, and an example of when he did. Now it’s a lot harder to disprove.

I feel gross defending Republican talking points, now I need to go take a shower. Maybe wash my ass with crisco.

Straight into the garbage.

What lawsuit? What are you talking about?

For some, that is the point.

I want to buy a game online. How do I use cash?

Gay hook-up/dating app that pre-dates Tinder. In fact, it inspired Tinder.

There is a solution, but y’all aren’t going to like it.

The solution is blockchain. Actually, it’s even worse, the solution is NFT’s.

Not the scammy, crypto bro, nonsense it has been used for; but the actual technology.

A cryptographically secure digital token that can track where something was made, where it’s being used, who has the rights to it, and ensures that it’s authentic and not some copy made with AI.

Unfortunately, thanks to crypto bros, the technology has become so tainted by scams that most people get upset just hearing the letters NFT, so adoption isn’t likely.

I have yet to see a single item have a significant discount on prime day, it’s not even a sale.

Pixel has a built in feature that screens my calls and sends spammers to a bot. Graphene has no equivalent to this.

Yea, this one isn’t an issue. If you are dropping off passengers, you are allowed to stop in a fire lane because that is not parking.

By many definitions, reasoning IS just a form of pattern recognition so the lines are definitely blurred.

It can be great for filling in frames. Much easier to animate something at like 5-10 frames per second or less and use AI to smooth it out by filling in the gaps.
