I guess I should have been more specific, I’m talking the places that literally just dropship from alibaba, aliexpress, etc. an actual middleman for manufacturer is fine to me. They’re actually doing something you can’t do yourself, you know, they’re actually providing a service. The ones I’m referring to are just setting up online “stores” hoping to grab people from SEO to make a profit doing actually nothing
Your local department store has to have a physical location and stock, they’re physical goods in a physical location, adding value to you by way of letting not have to travel to a bunch of different people producing the things you need. Dropshippers literally just order something to your address for a marked up price. They are adding cost with literally no value to you.
Terror tubbies personally
Unless you have a sign saying “You’re paying me to buy this for you from alibaba”, I consider it very dishonest. Perfectly legal, but borderline scammy ethically imo.
How unethical are you ok with being? Dropshipping is an easy way to make money with low effort but it’s a pretty shitty thing to do
I wouldn’t call people playing competetive online games a good representational cross section tbh
Ime people hate russia, not it’s people or the language
Lol we might be doing the speedrun but china already finished the 130% category and is working on challenge runs
I can whip something similar up in blender for you if you want
Yeah, cad software is great for engineering modeling but blender is way better for artistic modeling
That, but I’d also probably put some pins in to make it exact
Dungeon clawler, breachway, cult of the lamb, and cobalt core are in a similar vein and have worked great on my deck
Ah fair, snark begets snark begets snark
Some people find it fun to challenge themselves, and achievements can be fun challenges to do
I don’t, I just drown them with stimulation and then implode when I have to fall asleep
Yeah, a bit. My life is one of those shows where when something’s finally going right it immediately gets undercut and everything falls apart
Tbh some of those incredible downturns in my life couldn’t be better scripted if you tried
That seems like advice on appearance, not depression, which like still kinda eh but not “just feel better duh”
Basically as I understand it sam altman made a deal to buy a majority of the semiconductor wafers needed to make ram from the two biggest manufacturers, and the third biggest saw that and went “oh ok time to make a killing selling tam to businesses” qnd pulled out of the consumer market so now there’s just fucking none being made for consumers because of one giant fucking dickwad
Nah, ubuntus definitely the ankle socks
I don’t have any problems with cheap chinese stuff, I have problems with the people who make storefronts that, when you order off of them, they go buy the thing from a cheap chinese site and put in your shipping address. They are relying on games SEO to direct people to them and make money by literally doing nothing.
