Not much. Reddit was left leaning, but Lemmy is liberal as fuck. I consider myself left leaning, but I can’t stand the political bias here

It looks like you’re just so engrained with hate for Musk that you’re literally denying reality.

It’s worse than you think. As an advertiser, I can actually buy targeted product placements in shows. So, let’s say I’m Google, and I know you recently searched for a Google Pixel. If I pay for product placements in the next Prime show, I can get all the phones to be Pixels when you watch it.

But if your friend searched for an iPhone, and he gets targeted by apple, the phones in the show could be iPhones.

Nah, most of it is coming from Alibaba, but at a markup.

SpaceX has paid for starlink through selling flights on their rockets, not through “subsidies like this”

You seem confused if you’re flip flopping between starlink being paid for by consumers and subsidies.

After 5 years.

SpaceX sells services. Just because they’re selling services to the government doesn’t make it a subsidy.

People will keep down voting you, but I just wanted to stop in and let you know that there are other people like you who can read.

People on Lemmy are leftist AF and their seething hate for Musk clouds their ability to think.

The grant requires applicants to meet these benchmarks by 2025. Only SpaceX came close to meeting this standard and only SpaceX is being denied the grant for not yet meeting this requirement.

What?

Honestly, can just be a different form of therapy. Worked with one in conjunction with a therapist through a service provided by my medical insurance.

The therapist was completely useless. The life coach had me questioning the way I thought about things, and got me to seriously reevaluate the ways I caused myself stress. All she did was ask questions, but they got me to see things differently. Helped a lot.

In my experience, Amazon takes a lower cut than retail chains. In fact, Amazon is less expensive than DTC when you factor in advertising costs. In all likelihood, it is not causing anyone to drive up their prices off Amazon.

I work with many many brands. I have seen several turn off their DTC channels because customer acquisition costs are simply too high.

The competitive price match policy is a nuisance when retailers liquidate inventory for pennies in the dollar.

That API you are describing is not active anymore. Hasn’t been in a long time.

Keepa has to scrape Amazon data themselves.

The subscribe and save price reflects the listing price at the time your order is fulfilled.

As a seller, the number of subscriptions evaporates if I increase the price on an item.

What you are describing is not a tactic any business is intentionally employing. It’s more likely born of incompetence.

This is not evidence of a monopoly.

This tactic would only impact Amazon owned listings, which account for a minority of the listings on Amazon.

Amazon does not change prices for listings controlled by third party sellers.

What’s funny to me is that Amazon has a competitive price match policy, where they will hide offers for listings that are priced above other retailers. So the FTC’s argument is that Amazon is trying to drive prices up while also driving prices down.

They are notoriously bad. And they don’t get fixed. Got my Subaru and

1. The radio defaults to SiriusXM every time I turn on the car, even though I do not pay for it and do not want to.
2. Android Auto and Apple Car Play would cut out regularly
3. Eventually the entire system would just randomly crash and reboot frequently throughout a trip.
4. Found out there was a TSB out on the radio for frequent issues, and had to get it warrantied.
5. Even with the new radio, I have occasional issues with Apple Car Play freezing
6. I can’t have both an android and iPhone connected at the same time, because I won’t be able to use Android Auto, I’m forced into Car Play

And on the new cars Subaru made the screen narrow and tall. This effectively reduced the amount of screen space for Android Auto/car play in comparison with prior years.

Add to that the entire display is now needed for HVAC, heated seats, etc and do you really want to depend on a glitchy computer that frequently crashes?

Yeah. In my experience you’re still getting all of your classwork and you’re getting instruction. But you’re isolated from your peers.

In this instance especially it’s fucking stupid. But in theory his education is not being completely interrupted by this bullshit

Seems like you have a few misconceptions.

My house is definitely not cheaply built. Yes it is wooden. Termites are rarely an issue for homeowners. Different building materials have different pros and cons.

I’ve never seen a house anywhere in the United States with no insulation.

And you pay for education the same way we do. Taxes.

They’re the best

Oh absolutely. It’s good to have at least one beer you can always come back to. For me that’s been the Dogfish Head Sea Quench Ale

Love Cascade. Haven’t been there, but I buy their beer out here in NJ.

I got started on sours because of them
