You talk about commitment but OP didn’t.

Someone willing to put up with your shit and commit to you is a bullet to be dodged? Mmmk…

Until they leave you and find someone else who is ready to commit.

Sometimes if you expect the worst; you make the worst. Get out of your own way.

-Life is too short for bad coffee, bad wine, bad shoes and bad people.

-spend the required money in a good bed and a good chair. When it comes down to it later, it is not negotiable for your back.

-you will have to have a lawyer involved sometimes such as drafting up a will. It’s worth it. Also: do your will and sort out your stuff even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

-clean like you’re moving house once a year. Cut down on the hoarding.

-‘no’ Is a complete sentence.

-sometimes acceptance of a situation is what it is is the only closure you’re ever going to get.

-acknowledge your stuff <—//—> other people’s stuff. Others might not work on their own stuff but they aren’t your job.

-resentment isn’t always something someone gives you nor is it the reality of the situation. Sometimes a person invites it along. Eg: assuming such things as someone being late to dinner is a personalized slight to your energy and time.

-try not to confuse misunderstanding with malice.

-remember the good ones. It’s so easy to just count the nasty people in your life and have them as your comparison for things. Spending your energy this way overlooks all the good people in your life and that’s not fair to them and the effort they put in with you.

Yes just reaffirming that it’s just another law not enforced.

Don’t tread on me.

don’t tell me what to do. That’s all.

Go huff farts.

What: representing minorities where they are ignored? No. You won’t silence me. All experiences matter. Even ones you don’t share in. It’s a far cry on ordering other people around “Shop local” on what to do with their life as if they all fit the same standard experience. Not even the same planet of existence. So you can go huff your farts through your empty comparisons for a shitty red herring argument. That is some bad actor Bullshit to try to silence me as if they are even remotely compared that I shouldnt reply to an absent minded direct order like that. Neglect minorities and order me around. Nope. Fuck that. Not on my watch. You get the full brunt of this argument if you think you can order me around. Fuck that poorly thought out action all the way up a mountain.

I will remind you the title of the post ‘it’s surprisingly easy to live’ - no. It isn’t. Representation matters. when people start speaking their experiences for application: Other experiences should count too. You don’t silence me just on unapproval or ‘not shared experiences’ alone. Stop the ableism.

The main trick is checking the seller. Certain ones are very reliable for used-but-good things like dvds/books. And you just use amazon for the shipping part.

But even these days they use another shipping company.

They also halted doing returns when the product is faulty. I guess there was some sort of scam going on over Christmas where a bunch of shitheads claimed items didn’t arrive so they could get money back but it’s no reason for Amazon to take it out on legit customers when it’s a simple return entry. It’s like they suddenly forgot they were online and can simply remove a line of code to avoid the scam entirely.

Then stop with the public lecturing.

Must be nice if you can leave the house without need for concern while receiving home treatment for disease/injury and your local brick and mortars actually do hold the products you need.

How nice for you. you must live near a metropolis and have much time on your hands and not living with something impacting your ability to leave the house. You must have multiple sources for products are already in your area because in many parts of the world amazon is supplying many things that are not sold even at local brick and mortars. And many people who live in disabilities/injuries/disease to not be able to go very far without passing out while they receive home treatment.

What is the non paywall version of this

Careful. Boeing already tried the “but it’s not our job” excuse on a few major incidences with an executive now locked behind bars after pushing bribes to cover it up . They’d be best backing off on taking an attitude about where to assign blame. They got a lot of red spots that will never come out.

“My business model is making everyone else responsible to make my business successful”

Defending scamming as a business model is not a business model.
