I hope so, but I don't care. The same with the bird site. I chose to delete my barely-used bird account when that idiot bought it, and to explore mastadon and lemmy when I could no longer use Apollo to view reddit. Two or 3 times I've popped over to reddit to see what's going on, and check on any other subreddits that have moved to lemmy, and using the official reddit browser or app just reinforces why I left. It's shit, and getting shittier.

Basically I like the mantra "not my circus, not my monkeys."

You should ask at your local brick and mortar store. When The Witcher series came out, I wanted to buy the book set. Buying from the local store guaranteed that I got a matched set at about the same price as ordering off amazon.

Yes! I hope every city in Texas joins in!

Commenting just on the meme, the fact that the “blue line” flag is backwards just adds to it.

FYI: when hung horizontally or vertically, the blue field of stars on the American flag must always be on the top left.

Can you link to a non-paywalled source? Or provide a summary or excerpt?

That is awesome! Thanks!

Yelp not only “lets” businesses pay, they harass them until they pay, or switch the algorithm to show more negative reviews.

Re: Amazon, I always look at recent 1-star reviews to get the truth.

I also search online for reviews/ratings. Consumer Reports remains reputable and you can join and cancel month-to-month easily. I also understand Good Housekeeping only allows items to be marked by them for a year at a time, so they also seem to be reputable.

I just wish Amazon would also review search tags. It’s so frustrating to be looking for something and have the results full of unrelated products, duplicates, and other crap. I mean, if I’m looking for a replacement elongated toilet seat, don’t show me round ones, towel holders, and shower steamers!

That’s exactly what I was going to suggest.

Is that Canadian spelling? In the US, it’s a trestle.
