OK but those products are the entire reason people like me and basically everyone I know with a Prime subscription continue to pay for it with iffy payoff.

My workplace cafeteria makes me buy lunch passes in cash for reasons that I don’t understand nor do I think there will be a satisfying answer to. As an organization I know we accept credit cards and I’m sure they could just deduct the price out of our paychecks but the cafeteria is run out of some subset of a program…

Here is one that gets me, I work for a Ryan White funded agency and, I am not kidding, I have clients that are outspoken Trump supporters that rail against welfare, Obamacare and the government being all “in their business”. It took me a while to get that they were 100% serious, just absolutely no mental connection…

One thing that really scares me is that I work for a HIV non-profit on a campus that handles client services although I am not positive myself. Unsurprisingly I get a lot of targeted advertising for HIV medications but what really concerns me is how these algorithms have labeled me.

Yes! We regularly have spices that are just as difficult to give away. I mean this with complete honesty, on the average week our food pantry is stocked with higher quality food and spices than my own pantry. When I am in the pantry I regularly recommend products to clients that I personally purchase.

I work for a food pantry (OK, I’m taking some license, I work in administration for a group that has a food pantry but I hang out there sometimes because abstractly pushing paper in my administration annex makes me feel detached from my overall mission sometimes, but I digress...) and one of personal feelings is how…

What gets me is how successful Amazon has been at getting people to think working for Amazon is a great job. I was laid off several months back and both my parents suggested several times “I keep hearing Amazon is hiring, have you looked there?”

In hindsight it was perhaps stupid but I just want to say I once stayed at the Cairo Four Seasons and jerked off a lot to gay porn on my laptop. Like a lot. Family vacations are stressful.

Why would there be a floor to the price of a financial instrument that has no utility? And requires a massive and expensive infrastructure just to exist?

You are making a huge assumption and I believe a major mistake, you are assuming that Tesla is particularly good at making electric cars. That is very different than making good electric cars, they obviously make great electric cars.

I work in a health insurance adjacent field and I was having a conversation with my coworker last week about what really scares me about the current health insurance market...

I have full coverage with a $100 deductible and it cost $50 a month to add to our plan with a 2012 Nissan Juke. The Juke costs $75 to insure.

Not to “all lives matter” this but the white husband of a white friend of ours, perfectly healthy died of the flu days after being hospitalized a few years ago.

“The vast majority of Lime’s fleet is manufactured by other companies”

I’m weirdly attracting to ol’ Korn when he’s going wild on that touch screen board.

Also as far as resale value the XS is likely to have a higher resale value than an XR as it will likely be more durable than the XR and also rarer.

I’m pretty sure I remember when this came out it was specifically targeted to the livery market and it’s presence in the new consumer market was Lincoln saying, eh, we already have this car to put in the lineup if for some reason someone wants one.

So I might as well leave this here in case anyone has advice...

For all the good, actual or perceived, Allen did in the world we shouldn’t ignore the fact that the way he spent the wealth on himself was obscene even by billionaire standards and that any of the public good could have been accomplished by him paying higher taxes and funding public institutions instead of funding pet…

This wasn’t at Amazon/Whole Foods but once when I was negotiating a salary I was told that the company couldn’t go any higher than they counter with because I would be making more than a much, much, much more senior person in a similar position.
