Honestly thats exactly why its genius Amazons inline video ads arent some random annoyance theyre a masterclass in subtle marketing Youre already in a buying mindset...

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.

I'm genuinely curious what it is that makes people feel they don't have another option.

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.

Toyota and Honda will be effectively dead in three years.

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 All these 100% EV sales goals are getting repealed or indefinitely postponed.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.

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.

Anyone who doesn't agree with the current definition too hard and/or for too long won't be MAGA anymore

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).

Comment Re:MAGA was successful (Score 1) 199

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.
