It’s true! This is a big help.

Just a fair warning, FBA actually creates an additional problem where when bad items slip through, it’s entirely unclear where they came from. FBA is the best for things that are easily inspected, like books, because they have a clear “mint/fair/poor” type of guideline, but when it’s sealed electronics or DVDs, people…

I’ve had much better success buying things that are supposed to be used items. I’ll bet textbooks do a lot better.

Amazon Marketplace is a cesspool of piracy, repackaging, and stolen goods at this point.

Well also when a government loses a civil case, they actually have to pass an appropriation to cut the check, even though they’ve been ordered to do it. Most states are sitting on 10-20 years of lost cases that they just dawdle paying out. Every time it comes up, the lawmakers get in there and start arguing the cases…

There is actually an agreed-upon standard for the way the government writes. There are classes and everything. This is super weird phrasing.

Nono, I’m a bureaucrat. I write things like this. I’m commenting on how it’s actually very strange wording from that perspective even. Government has had a consistent “tone” for more than 50 years and that word sticks out like a sore thumb.

Yeah it’s not wrong or anything, it’s just not how we’ve been phrasing government or technical writing for many decades.

Am I the only one curious about the “dangerous to people’s health” phrasing? “people’s” instead of “your” or “one’s” is strange phrasing for a government release.

You know what really gets me? The way people call players “studs” on fantasy football forums. Makes me want to vomit.

You know how it goes

Ok? You do get that this statement is apples and oranges to what we’re actually talking about, right? You’re answering a question nobody asked.

Meanwhile in the real world, there are more modes for a crime than “THE WORST THING EVER” and “TOTALLY FINE”

You know a crime that’s a felony in one relationship might be a misdemeanor in another. I’m not even talking about open relationships since we’re talking specifically about infidelity.

I like them all, but 5 was definitely when it hit the threshold where it was worth recommending to people. Then six was regular good and seven was great. F8 had some individually good moments, but I didn’t feel like it was constructed as precisely as five and seven. It was like Gat out of Hell vs Saints Row 2 and 3.

It’s not a colloquial term. It’s a term currently in transition. Right now it means SMS, MMS. In five to ten years it’ll mean any text messenger.

Well here’s the thing, guy, Skeve meant it that way when he made the initial post that you went full-pedant on. That’s the thing about communication. You can think that “texting” means “any messenger”, but Skeve doesn’t, so when you argue back at him rejecting his core definition, you’re not proving a point, you’re…

Yep. If airlines can have a sliding price based on fourty datapoints of bullshit, but still sell it to you in one click online, then the car dealers sure as shit can.

That is definitely what it means, since Fi users are not technically using a text protocol when we text, we are sending hangouts messages which are then piped into an SMS robot on google’s side.

What you’re whiffing on here is that we’re talking about the difference with respect to doing them for free in an airplane. They say “delta has free texting” and what they actually have is free wifi with only the imessage port open. Those are different and no amount of namedropping protocols changes that.
