You mean the “, too”? That’s how it’s supposed to be written. People often don’t do it that way, but that’s how it’s correctly used, and few have accused us anglophones, as a whole, of really understanding how to use our own damn language. It’s the same with “, but”, also, and “, also”, also.

I just want to see Windows, and so many other layered-up legacy programs, refreshed. My other example is AutoCAD for a software that’s just half-finished garbage stacked on top of older half-finished garbage for a while until it’s all on top of a program that was designed for computers from the ‘90s.

Windows has other problems, of course, like how no matter how good their shit is they still have absolutely dogshit, anti-human behaviours, but still.

Anyway, someone else was saying the article might not even have any real sources but I wanted to rant about this so…hurray.

Like, yes, but also consumers are the electorate and the people we elect need to represent us. We keep electing people who represent the businesses’ interests and not our own, despite alternatives, and so we have it in our heads that these things are more separate than they are. We have the control, we just refuse to use it to the point where most people have forgotten that.

I have always voted progressive, never even centrist. I live in Canada, also, but yea I don’t actually make the rules but the people I vote for to make said rules don’t like Amazon either.

Did you miss the part where I said I’d be looking for filters elsewhere even if they cost a bunch more?

I cannot tell what side of the argument you’re trying to be on here, gunna be real hokest with ya.

It super depends on what you’re buying. Personally, I just go without in order to avoid them. The only things I ever buy from Amazon are things I cannot find anywhere else that I need to have, such as water filters for the lead pipes in Montréal.

We don’t have the luxury to ignore how bad Amazon is. Amazon is aware of this and does everything it can to force you to buy from them by under cutting other businesses until competition dries up. Every time I can buy something for a little bit more and skip Amazon that’s a huge a win for everyone from the original supplier, the more local store selling it, and the working class in general.

Edit: Reading and writing more comments, I’m gunna find a way to get those filters from elsewhere even if they cost a bunch more.
