Amazon is deliberately built to be terrible for the users, so they can push products that make them the most money. Most filters are useless, and some don’t work properly, you only have limited sorting options that also don’t work properly (if you sort ascending by price, it will still put sponsored results that don’t respect the sorting order). A while ago, I was looking for a product that I knew should cost about €5, and I couldn’t find any cheaper than €10 until I got to the 10th result page.

For an example of a good search interface, just check farnell.com. It’s insanely good, you can basically filter by any attribute of a product. Being able to use something like this to search for a laptop, or a mobile phone would be amazing.

A company I worked for laid off an entire site a week before Christmas. Assholes couldn’t wait 2 more weeks, they had to ruin their holidays.

That’s how i ended up in the cycle of procrastinating going to sleep because tomorrow I have to go to work and it sucks, and then I’m really tired at work and it really sucks and I’m always tired.

Penis mightier than the sword for sure

Just activate the engines with right click menu like a real man.

But at least we won’t have gay liberal abortions, right?

So dreams are like level 200: your brain evolutionarily built a venting and coping mechanism that makes it invent fictional universes in which it pretends to live while you are sleeping.

The problem would be solved if these scales would take a AAA battery which has a lot more capacity than a tiny cell.

I’m also sick of stupid people trying to sabotage every good thing about our society.

Is your car a semi truck? How do you fit all that?

Exactly, the stainless steel “exoskeleton” is glued to plastic and pieces are coming unglued while driving. The towing thing is attached to a cast aluminum frame and multiple people have had it break while towing. It’s a terrible car, and most owners are insufferable people.

In my city, city planners decided to bring trees that aren’t native to our country (sycamore trees), and now we have an invasion of these bugs that bite and stink bugs.

But at least we don’t have, god forbid, bees.

The annoying thing about fruit trees is that the fruits are only good for picking for like 1-2 weeks of the whole year. If you don’t pick them during those 2 weeks, they rot and spoil. That’s why the whole street tries to sell them pretty much at the same time, because you can’t pick fruit like a basket at the time. You have to pick the whole tree during those 2 weeks.

Dick stuck in the ceiling fan again?

There are very few places on the Internet where your data won’t be scraped and used for AI training. Every social media company does this, including Discord and Reddit. Federated platforms are quite easy to scrape (not sure if they are yet). Even if you make your own website, it’s definitely going to be scraped by crawlers from every company wanting to make AI.

Ah, the aspiring musician’s keyboard who can’t afford a real one

Keyboard players: everything is keys

Or maybe an automated system flagged it and an underpaid and overworked employee in a third world country reviewed it.

I don’t think this was malicious, these app reviews are being done by an overworked and underpaid employee in some third world country. Mistakes are made all the time.
