Always happy to find something Adam Schlesinger had a part in!

Read the article in this thread. It is insane. https://lemmy.world/post/45596499?sort=Top

I agree with everything else you said, but oftentimes the reason an item is cheaper on Amazon is they have a clause that in order to sell on Amazon the item cannot be cheaper on another platform. Amazon controls enough of the market that sellers still need to sell through them for volume, but it’s just a way to lock customers into the platform by exploiting sellers.

May we all receive de-liverance from such a fate.

Nah, screw those demons. I’m gonna murder those demons!

That’s the same flawed argument often used to shoot down minimum wage increases. Income increases to the poorest people historically does not lead to unsustainable inflation.

Why are you assuming an extra shitty apartment that cost $500 wouldn’t be built, now that the unhoused person has some money to pay with?

Oh my gosh, that’s amazing

Thanks for putting that “monkey” back in my head for the next week.

Very similar to what my middle school geography teacher told us. It takes consuming knowledge 7 different ways to really cement it into memory.

They are making a new series. I don’t know how it is going to work, but Yoko Taro (the moon-headed Nier Automata guy) is going to be in charge of it, and he is about the only person I can see pulling it off.

Why would you respond to a stranger whose thoughts you don’t give a fuck about?

Sounds crazy to me, but apparently it’s a thing: https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/custard-style-mac-and-cheese/6981102f-cb19-4d53-a550-55fe2d1b65ae

My guess is that the eggs are the major difference, probably makes it a little closer to an egg bake in consistency, but I dunno for sure, maybe someone else could speak on it more.

Those, my friend, are pecs!

I believe fitted sheets have the elastic to fit around a mattress, while a normal sheet does not have the elastic and typically goes between you and the comforter.

Not a salesman personally but I was raised by one. I think he tried to get as good a deal for customers as he reasonably could, but the thing that’s always stuck with me is when he told me: “People don’t buy from me because I have the best deals. People buy from me to buy from me.”

Some salesmen may offer good or bad deals, but ultimately what they’re selling is themselves, their personality, their companionship to some degree. My dad could talk to anyone and build a relationship within an hour. It’s who he was, and he leveraged it to make a lot of money because his customers liked talking to him.

Buying through a commissioned salesman will likely always be at least a few percentage points more expensive than using an online portal, but there are a lot of people who will feel like it’s worth it if the salesman is doing their job right.

Don’t worry, your neighbor across the street has one!
