Same here. I will not be buying a new TV until my dumb Samsung screen is no longer repairable.

No matter what new features a new TV offers, why would I willingly expose myself to snooping and advertising? Thanks, but no thanks.

You can't worry about charging efficiency, we are trying to save the planet!

This is exactly why we have obesity epidemic, including among poor.

Research shows that poor people make poor decisions. You can try to explain it by lack of opportunities, stress, etc. but that does not change the fact that people that tend to be in a financially stressful situation also tend to make poor, short-term oriented decisions.

This is exactly what killed ebay. No idea why they don't understand that for most people Amazon is about saving time and when they waste your time, the whole reason to shop there goes away.

Maybe that what they intended to happen, but instead I put the tablet aside and went into actual store to buy a product. Amazon doesn't get to mess with me while I am spending my money. No way, no how will I tolerate that.

Busy parent here. When given a choice to spend 3+ hours driving around different stores or shop at Wallmart or order approximately what you want at Amazon and have it delivered to your doorstep, the lesser evil was clear. Not so much anymore, but Amazon still does save you time.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea, but Amazon is showing in-line video ads for different products while you are trying to shop. You are trying to spend money and they have audacity to bombard you with ads?! WTF.

You are delusional. All these 100% EV sales goals are getting repealed or indefinitely postponed. Like in Canada, etc., etc.

In 2025, EV sales require heavy incentives to happen. No incentives, hardly any sales.

The march to enshittification continues.

Society shouldn't accommodate in violation of core principles. If we as society believe believe in freedom of speech, then you can't practice your blasphemy laws for any reasons if you chose to come and stay. What is happening now in many places is suicidal multiculturalism, where the culture and values are being displaced by something else.

Leading in over-the-air software updates in context of automakers should be pejorative, as the last thing anyone wants is a buggy and constantly changing automobile.

I want to live in a society that share my values and do not try to impose Jihad or Woke or Christian Fundamentalism on me. I don't think you can get there through diversity.

This is demonstrably wrong. Bannon and Tucker very publicly disagreed with Trump on Iran and are still core MAGA. That is, Trump had to concede to the base that held him accountable to anti-war electoral promise. There were credible threats of third-party runs and projected midterm losses for Trump (likely resulting in Democrat-led impeachment).

This might be your view from the outside. The reality is that MAGA, just like any other political movement, is a broad coalition of various special and broad interest groups that do not agree with each other on a number of topics. Broadly speaking, it is a coalition of socially conservatives, anti-war and trade isolationists, big business, neocon war hawks, etc. About the only thing everyone agrees is disdain for Woke, where everything else has pro and against coalitions.
