It’s Surprisingly Easy to Live Without an Amazon Prime Subscription (slate.com)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/technology

The author canceled their Amazon Prime subscription on a whim and realized they didn't really need it.
Leaving Prime meant slower shipping but the author was happy to wait and still found the selection and delivery speed satisfactory.
Many people love Prime for its fast shipping and convenience, but some readers expressed ambivalence and considered canceling.

Then stop with the public lecturing.

Why don't you stop doing the exact same thing you want others to stop doing?

What: representing minorities where they are ignored? No. You won’t silence me. All experiences matter. Even ones you don’t share in. It’s a far cry on ordering other people around “Shop local” on what to do with their life as if they all fit the same standard experience. Not even the same planet of existence. So you can go huff your farts through your empty comparisons for a shitty red herring argument. That is some bad actor Bullshit to try to silence me as if they are even remotely compared that I shouldnt reply to an absent minded direct order like that. Neglect minorities and order me around. Nope. Fuck that. Not on my watch. You get the full brunt of this argument if you think you can order me around. Fuck that poorly thought out action all the way up a mountain.

As the famous words go; standards are good, double standards are double as good.

What you are essentially doing is that you are publicly lecturing people on public lecturing. The very same thing you despise, you're doing yourself.

The cause is lost the very same second that you cross your own line.

You dig a good hole for someone with an injury.
