      There was a time when I thought that was impossible… now I don’t even have an account

      I think my wife keeps one because according to her (and I believe this is true) there are things you just can’t buy elsewhere anymore. So far, I have been fine not buying something if it’s only on Amazon but I can see cases where that would be impossible.

      Other than that, fuck Amazon right off

        thing you just can’t buy elsewhere anymore

        Yes and no. For example I had to buy double-sided tape and went into four different stores in different areas of my city and only found it in the fourth store after researching.

        I checked on Amazon after the fact, and could have had it delivered to my door same-day lol.

        I don’t believe there’s anything you can only buy on Amazon… but it IS so bloody convenient.

        What specifically is this true for?

        Other than their Amazon basic branded trash.

      People send me links to Amazon products and seem bewildered when I just don’t open them and or respond to send me the actual link to the mfr website.
