Oh, I mean, power tripping moderators has always been a thing, even in my phpBB forum days when I was a teenager. I’m sure some of us older than I will have similar stories about it happening on certain BBSes. But the user base and therefore impact of that moderation going to shit was much more limited in most cases.

I’d love to believe this, but cynical me is thinking about those conservatives that look at Milei in Argentina and legitimately think it’s going great.

Isn’t Shopify Canadian? Did they/the CEO do something?

We haven’t used Amazon in a good month over here, and we don’t miss it even a little bit. We’re cancelling Prime and will turn to alternatives. Fuck these fascist bootlickers.

You managed to describe a feeling I’ve had for a while but never managed to articulate correctly. Thanks.

Yeah, indeed. On the other hand I’m also painfully aware that the reason it’s so cheap for me over there is that I’m the richer guy in a poorer country… 😬

I keep hearing this, but man was it not my experience. I may have just been unlucky, or maybe it was just our specific resort, but the food we ate on the resort was extremely disappointing. The best meal I ate whole week was a random lunch I ate in a disposable plate (the cochinita pibil was out of this world) before leaving Tulum. Meanwhile most food in Cuba was perfectly fine. On average not the best I ate in my life, but nothing terrible.
