no but actually I can’t stand wasting my storage on telemetry bloated bullshit. Let me use the website or I’m noy buying your garbage

I would take a CRT in a heartbeat. It makes watching 4:3 content feel right, especially older Star Treks.

Last time I ordered something off of Amazon the delivery driver did not even attempt to deliver. On the 3rd day amazon sent me a notice saying “if we miss you again we are sending your order back” (This was a mission critical device that only sold on amazon at the time)

I watched the amazon delivery truck drive right past my fucking house without even fucking attempting to stop. I ran barefoot in the rain a block behind the van and asked them to deliver my fucking package.

They gave it to me, but I’m still fucking pissed about it.

Hey Lando, everybody’s talking about how you trashed the Juke Box. Classic cool. We’re gonna do some toad, you in?

Let me tell ya about it, stud.

your username… Do you have any similarly named relatives on here? 🤔

I dont disagree with you there, the theoretical “we” refers to the entire lemmy shitpost community. I only responded to you because i wanted to make a point to the people who agreed with you, but upvoted that post (Im assuming there is a large enough overlap that someone wouldve thought about it)

Im confused about where we’re drawing the line, because this slop from yesterday in this same community had 500+ upvotes

There are other sources but the reason I linked corelle directly is because they admit that pre-2000s plates have trace lead amounts. They use weasel wording sure, but it says it.

Are Corelle® products lead-free?

… Corelle was first introduced by Corning over 50 years ago and in 2000 started to be manufactured by the company known today as Instant Brands.

… Before 2000, and before tighter lead content safety regulations, a small amount of lead was an ingredient in the decorating process of many household products.

There are other sources, but most of them are websites ive never heard of. Figured corelle was the easiest source to link. Ill point you towards this one because its closer to what I stated and remembered happening I almost wonder if corell has changed their FAQ because i remember it being more specific at one point in time.

just a PSA for those of you unaware; these plates up until 2004 contained lead paint. If you’re using these plates, uh. dont. Use them as decorations or get rid of them immediately.

Source (check the FAQ for the question about lead)

Picture this; A stereotypical couple in their mid to late fifties. Their fridge just broke, and they need a new one ASAP before their food goes bad. They go to the closest appliance store and browse. The salesperson gets commission on sales and really tries to sell them on the most expensive fridge. This couple does not keep up with the latest consumer rights violations, same as most people. The salesman convinces one of them that the Smart fridge is exactly what they need. It keeps track of when their food will expire, gives reminders to use up ingredients, has timers for cooking, and comes with an app for recipes. The other person is not convinced but they agree to buy it anyway to make their partner happy.

They get it home and it’s okay at first. It does what it’s supposed to. Then one day, they get an ad for Apple+ which they canceled a few months ago. It mentions one of their names. How were they supposed to know this would happen? Did the salesman inform them of the advertising capabilities? Did it say it on the box? Realistically, this happens way more often than you would think. It’s punishing your friends and family to insult them for not knowing better. We should be pre-emptively teaching them about these practices, not bullying them. Bullying them will only reinforce their purchase because thats how human psychology works.
