We call it the Hitler Channel because it seems that is all they air in the late winter and early spring.

I don't know, I'm in S. Korea, and the microwave we bought in 2011 is still showing no signs of dying. Each smartphone I had, except for one, I changed only because they started getting outdated, and, as the software becomes more and more demanding, you need better memory and storage. Same goes with computers and tablets. We changed our fridge in 2016 for a similar reason (simply needed a bigger one, the previous one was really tiny, but still fine and working), and it's still as good as new. Same goes for the freezer, and the laundry machine. Our TV, bought in 2017, still no signs of dying. Air conditioner, bought in 2016, still strong. So..... either you are unlucky with faulty products, either you live in an environment that's unfriendly to appliances, or you need to learn better maintenance.

Switch to DuckDuckGo or Internet Archive Search.

Yup

As a Russian, I strongly agree. Not that we ever trusted the government much but it's got a lot worse now...

"Do you want to know my baking secrets? Well, first you have to read my entire family history, then guess which of these is the correct link to the recipe which is actually a video on my vlogging channel which has more ads than actual content."

I am old enough to remember when flying was a really elegant way to travel. We dressed up... we were polite to one another and to the cabin attendants.

Beavis and Butthead and Celebrity Death Match were brilliant. It's a shame, a damn shame I tells ya!

True, I have Netflix and Prime but not Disney or anything else. I'm not sure what other streaming services are available in the UK. The costs add up

Delete it

They haven't, it's just that the executives of AAA movies prefer safe options.

Rich people generally ruin everything they touch.

Not just Europe.

First timers are practically unable to buy their first home, so they are forced to rent, which developers have Jumped on and are building hi-rise cubbyholes (250sf) for rent or tiny little houses (500sf) with zero lot line which they’re only able to afford with two or three roommates

Massive frustration.

I use Amazon more as a search engine. Find what I want, then go to the company website and buy it from the company rather than off of Amazon. It is way easier to notice when something is a straight up scam. Never buy clothing from Amazon, it is all now just rip off Chinese manufactured crap. I use Amazon less and less all the time. They don't vet their sellers and I am just done with getting ripped off and returns now being a pain in the ass.

Golden rule when ordering from Amazon: If the delivery is by Hermes, then either choose another delivery option or another seller. 47 days we waited for a mirror to be delivered from 3 hours travel away and when it arrived there was a boot print on the box, and it was practically bent in half. That's just one story. Every thing that has been sent through Hermes has arrived very late and damaged

Never used Amazon because of the owner. Made some good deals on AliExpress, but my country has changed the rules regarding stuff coming from outside the EU and now it isn't profitable anymore to buy from China.

Ebay too, only worse.

amazon blocked my account after redeeming a gift card of €100 i just bought so pure scam even with all proof they wont give back

I haven't used Amazon in years; you can find anything from Amazon somewhere else.

F**k Amazon, I deleted my account about 6 years ago and will never use them again for anything, ever. THE WRONG AMAZON IS BURNING!!!

Etsy! It used to be a way to find awesome stuff and support artists. Now it's just a mini-Amazon

Amazon has been good?

And they treat their employees like s**t

I very rarely buy from Amazon anymore. 95% of my purchases are from private sellers on Ebay.

Serves anybody right for using it

Not so gradually.

In the beginning, Amazon was a haven. Then it became an untrustworthy site due to the fake reviews and too many sketchy sellers. For what it's worth, the return policy is still good.

O No it is definitely Not turning into wish so your not using it properly.

It's easy to use Amazon. It is easy to return an item. I buy local if I can but many times I have to go to the big A. I buy for a small business and have no real complaints. I wanted to buy a item locally. They wanted to sell me a case $240 plus freight. I went to Amazon and bought one, not freight for $20. Fine with me.

hooray for Walmart that it is taking away business from Amazon. With Amazon, you have to go through endless effort to send something back for a refund... they really do make it hard to do this. But if Wmart gets it wrong, there is a store nearby that will take back online merchandise... same is true for Home Depot and others... Hmm... yep, will use those online services rather than struggling with Amazon customer service trying to get them to take something back and finally send the right thing which they should have done in the first place!

Amazon is LITERALLY filled with dropshippers making money off you people (I stopped using it a while ago). Why would anyone pay 5 to 30 bucks for someone's computer to automatically "add to cart" stuff from AliExpress for you?

scamazon

I friggen loved old urban legends too about ghost ships and crazy government experiments but it's all cryptids and SCPs these days. Don't get me wrong I love a good skinwalker story, but they're becoming an overused plot device.

Depends on where you live, and at what point in time you start counting. In the US, for example, the amount on dangerous pollutants in the air is down by 75% from the 1990s.

This is still great, though guilty conscience ruins it.

:(

I guess that depends on the country.

I'd say this is dependent on where you live. I'm in a small town in Scotland, nothing but wide open spaces, trespassing isn't a thing as you can walk on peoples land within reason obviously - right by me there's a big country house that has peacocks and a pen of boar that we can walk up to to go see them. Loads of free parks, playgrounds etc - both in my town and Scotland as a whole

it's so bad now ..will never be the same without Clarkson

TBH YT is decent if you constantly give the feedback so that it shows only the stuff you like

Meant something in the early days now it's just misogyny, violence and drugs

Life had stayed the same, it is you who had changed and gotten older.

They changed the format. No longer interesting.

If you're able to stream your music, do that! Way less ads (or none if you pay for a service) and you can tailor the music to your tastes!

Like fatty typos in legal settlements worth hundreds of thousands of dollars! Drives me INSANE. Quality is getting harder to find lately.

Too much computer stuff. My dad used to say about a broken car "If it's mechanical, whack it and voila".

That reference picture though... I don't want to know what happened in that interaction...

Cruella is amazing

It's because the stunts/wardrobe/makeup etc departments have unions, but CGI is run like a sweatshop so it's cheaper

Totally agree that the news media has died. It is ALL opinion, telling people what to think, sprinkled liberally with emotional blackmail. Now I have to read various sites and piece together common threads to find the truth
