A % of customers won't return an incorrect product so an accidental sale is still a sale. It sucks, but statistically benefits the company.

I get tricked now and then too by products that ended up not matching my search. So annoying.

Totally right. Forgot what community I was in.

Don't most? Even Fitbit does that for ages. You can select what apps to receive notifications from.

Maybe they did mean hung, drawn and quartered.

In that case, I'd rather be hanged.

I'd be screaming in terror if the cockpit and flight controls were installed backwards too!

I'd be more disappointed in the missed naming opportunity: Upperware

It'll take me a while to respond to this, but it is hilarious you would refer to a voice for decorum and patience as "bully class" in an article/discussion about organizing obstructionists for maximum appeal.

Good point about slave revolts actually. That didn't cross my mind. Voting wouldn't have helped much on that front.

As for the morally justified angle, that is highly subjective. Your ideals may not align with mine. Does that mean I need to counter-obstruct obstructism I disagree with? That sounds like rapid escalation.

I did read that article, reflecting on recent perspectives, and as it is written for modern times, it raised concern; to have a outline/playbook to organize obstructionists in this climate is woefully tactless when masses are so easily enraged.

That said, there are many ways to get your message out. Websites, pamphlets, signs, heck we are Ad ridden everywhere. There is no excuse. Changing laws isn't glamorous, isn't fast, and isn't easy. But the right way has no shortcuts.

Second, (in the USA) your rights end when they infrige on anothers'. To impose my needs selfishly at the expense of yours is not only infringing your rights, but possibly accruing damages.

This is not victimless behavior regardless of cause. It absolutely should not be encouraged.

It's easy. Don't do it.

I support protesting and free speech. I do not support disruption. In fact, it shouldn't even be called a "protest" in the first place. Adding that tries to legitimize theft. (Yes, denied use is legally theft.) You don't always get your way in democracy and throwing a tantrum doesn't work.

What does is voting and education. It's harder, but the right thing to do.

Yeah, yum!

Better than 8 years of broccoli and prunes.

1 in 75? That math seems pretty off.

40,000 fatalities would be a sample size of 3 million. The USA is 335 million, 110x larger.

1 in 8,250 is more like it.

Ha, I get it. Lots of stuff here is posted super seriously. It's easy to incite this community where it spills over into others.

I suppose the joke part of this didn't sink in. I refer to my earlier comment about lack of coffee. :)

First of all, thanks mods for your work. I know spam sucks and ain't easy.

I'm new to this lemmy thing, but there seem to be a few bots out there that may be able to help or ban spammers.

Could we maybe look into that and automatically suspend/ban posts that link to amazon? That would seen to put an obstical in this kickback scam going on.

Just an idea.
