i hate amazon

[rae121452]

i mean, i really fucking HATE amazon. i like the fact that i can find things on there that aren't available locally but, my god!, does their website suck. put something in the search bar and you get 5000 results, maybe 50 of them what you searched for. and always the most expensive items first. not only that, if you save a search, the next time you pull it up it's a bunch of different shit than the page you saved. i hate amazon.

Amazon has been a lifeline for me in this year of sheltering. I can remember when there was no such option available, and I'm damn glad that isn't now. Same thing with the Internet.

This "year" you speak of, where you used Amazon to shop through, now means that Amazon/Google owns your ass.

They know what deodorant you use, what toothpaste, socks, underwear, clothing sizes, your address, when your preferred delivery time is and what options there are. They know the demographics of your neighborhood and its residents, how much money you make, what your creditworthiness is, whether you own your house or not, and so on.

And don't even think they don't. Your biometric data is valuable and you just give it away, repeatedly, every time you shop with Amazon.

I love Amazon.

I have a Prime Membership and love the Free 1 Day Shipping...and the included Amazon Prime video streaming that's included.

Amazon is way better than eBay ever was.

I buy all kinds of things, from Nespresso pods to gifts...they're great for gifts...I bought all my USA-bound Christmas gifts on amazon.com, so there was none of the customs/duties crap and everything reached my relatives when Amazon said it would, gift-wrapped, even.

Amazon is great!

I agree

I totally agree. Amazon is like a jungle of things. I wonder why they called it Amazon? It seems like they should have named it after a jungle.

Boy, you'd think they'd put that in some type of long and endless user agreement that people would never read!

They can have all that, as long as my DOP San Marzanos are here by Friday!

It's marketing success story. Nothing less. Including all the crap that goes with good marketing. unfortunately.

Yeah, I get your beef but I bet when you really need something and want it now, you will go there. Get over it.

I have zero desire to let Google into my life on an intimate/ personal level because I let it know everything about me by shopping with them.

No thank you, I'll keep my secrets secret. YMMV but it if does you're a fool.

By using Amazon, what exactly do you think will happen to you?

The point is that I'm not comfortable letting the minimum wage idjits at Amazon know that I bought something. It doesn't matter what gets bought, underwear, deodorant, Cheerios, every time someone buys a product from Amazon or shops with Google, that gets tracked as something they bought.

Eventually they have a financial and domestic picture of you, your life, and lifestyle. Buy Ammo? You gots guns. Buy airfare or bus tickets to DC (or a hotel booking) to return on Jan 7th? You're an insurrectionist.

And if you believe that in your new nirvana world that it isn't, or won't be, used against you, you're crazy. Your best interests are NOT the Corporation's best interests. In fact, their best interests are exactly opposite yours.

Unless you've used unix/linux and alternative browsers behind a VPN since early days I suspect you're secrets are quite clearly mapped out. What ads are you getting on your FaceBook feed?

So you buy or purchase EVERYTHING with cash, in-person locally and refuse to present ID any time? No bank account? No credit cards? No garbage pickup? No electricity? No other accounts? Any and all of those have enough information to build a basic model of you and your life.

So what if they track my underwear purchases? Find out that I bought the generic brand rather than a name brand? If the Feds want to know what kind of material is covering my ass I'll pull my pants down and show them.

If I bought a ticket to or hotel room in DC and went home on January 7th why should I worry or get spun up IF I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING NEFARIOUS? As long as this country is still ruled by law, still uses the "innocent until proven guilty" standard, I ain't gonna worry about it. And if I do, I can always let the voices in my head take over, pull a Ted (Kaczynski not Bundy) and disappear into the crowd.

I don't HAVE a Facebook account. Why? Because that allows Google to know what the fuck I'm doing all the time.

Apparently you didn't know that the Feds are investigating ANYONE who pinged a cell phone tower in DC on Jan 6th. The fucking phone company voluntarily gave the FBI that data. YOUR data.

Yes, I have a phone. Yes I have utility bills, an ISP, a bank account, and so on. Unless you're a hermit living in a cave, and maybe even then, you have to have those things.

That doesn't mean you give more of your private data away willy nilly for others to profit from.

The closest grocery store to my home is Whole Foods in addition to ransoming our firstborn grandson for a box of pasta, my wife also has to fight her way down the aisles against all of the “blue shirts”—the Amazon workers who fill orders in the store all day. On any given day, there are more blue shirts than customers and yes, their behavior is very robotic.

Metadata has nothing to do with the topic. It is not personal in nature. Thats just plain data.
You are clueless but thats expected.

You seem to have missed or completely and conveniently ignored the point of my previous comment. Let me repeat it for you: If I didn't do anything nefarious why should I worry about them investigating me?

Besides, if I was planning to, I damn sure wouldn't storm in there like a herd of buffalo leaving a track a mile wide for them to follow. The only ones stupid enough to do that are those who are arrogant enough to think they can't be caught or those stupid enough to think they won't be no matter what.

And if you do any business on the net at all, you've already given away your "private" data. If you believe that when you do the former you are not doing the latter, there is no reason for me to argue a point you've already erroneously made your mind up to so I won't.

I don't HAVE a Facebook account. Why? Because that allows Google to know what the fuck I'm doing all the time.

Not really. There are other ways besides not using Facebook to prevent that. It's just that most are either ignorant of them, too lazy to use them or just don't care.
