I signed up for motorcycle classes and they said to bring glasses or goggles. I hopped on Amazon and realized I don't trust any of the things they sell to not be fake/junk/something I don't want near my eyes. I still end

Bezos says lots of things. Amazon is better at customer service than their competitors, usually. They still do stupid shit. See the joke that was AIV on Android for years.

I took the train for the first time a few months back. Was a couple hundred miles (less even). I really like it for about the first 3/4. Then we took forever to get the last little bit done. I looked into it and apparently out west Amt

Imagine if Boeing got away with just pushing a software update to the 737 MAX8 and saying "it's fixed now".

Yeah, that legislation is a pretty good way to kill unions. It's gonna be real interesting when the working class finally has enough of this shit.

A lot of the people who work hardest, horrible hours out int he cold doing hard labour before you wake up, only make a reasonable living because of unions. People have literally fought and died for the right to unions, for unions to be take

Well for one thing he got a minimum wage.

Your friend should have been working 80 hours a week for 20 cents an hour instead. Ban unions!

So um, what do the customers get out of this?

Because they get to use their money and power and seep wealth out of things they had no part in creating. It's disgusting.

Embrace, Extend, Engulf? I'm not sure what you call it when Amazon can pretty much just take your project over when you piss them off. Mongo is getting EEE'ed.

That just results in weird laggy gameplay. Actually I don't even think this will work properly at all. You can do some prediction, but latency still kills you.
