I do avoid them as much as possible, including paying extra to use alternative shipping. Sometimes there is no other option if a vendor will only ship with CP. Even then, I’ll typically try to find a different vendor for what I need.

qaeta@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Recommendations on games in which you don't play as the "good guy".English11·8 days agoTyranny. I mean, you could end up being the good guy, depending on what that means to you, but you start leading an army to conquer part of the world at the behest of Kyros the Overlord. I think I would classify Kyros as a sort of Lawful Evil type. He seems to want to bring peace and order to the world, but chooses to do it through conquest and harshly enforced laws.
qaeta@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada Post is planning to end home delivery. Here's how community mailboxes will workEnglish45·8 days agoWhat do you mean “planning” to. They’ve refused to deliver packages for nearly a decade at this point. Oh sure, they’ll say they’ll deliver, but they never do, just a note telling you to go do their job for them. Literally the only delivery company that has this issue with my place.
If all your neighbors shoot themselves in the face, it’s not your fault they did that.
Right? Like, I love GoG. If I’m able to get something on GoG I typically will, even if it means paying a higher price to do so. But that’s definitely not because it’s a better platform to use. It’s because I appreciate their stance on DRM and support for keeping old games playable on new systems. I buy from them despite GoG Galaxy, not because of it.
qaeta@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictionsEnglish2·15 days agoAs a woman, I think if men have to, we should have to as well. That said, I also don’t think men should have to in the first place. If you can’t generate enough popular support for your war to get people to volunteer, then your war can get fucked.
qaeta@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictionsEnglish1·15 days agoI suspect things would get interesting when you piss a shit ton of people off and then give them automatic weapons and explosives… Where do you think “fragging” came from?
qaeta@lemmy.cato News@lemmy.world•Army raises enlistment age to 42, eases marijuana restrictionsEnglish3·15 days agoOh thank god! Until you said that I was 90% sure the end times were here! Now back down to a comfy 88% :)
Run by, or are downstream of ones run by.
Wait! I know this one!
um… Shel kek nem ron!
qaeta@lemmy.cato You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon, and the mainstream media aren't covering itEnglish1·20 days agoWe try, although I wish more of our national identity was about actually being Canadian vs just not being American.
Cocktail hour with your coworkers would be so much better if it involved molotovs though… A girl can dream.
qaeta@lemmy.cato You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon, and the mainstream media aren't covering itEnglish7·21 days agoMeanwhile, pretty much every Jewish person I’ve met in Canada has been horrified by Israel’s actions and whole-heartedly support the Palestinian people.
If they aren’t talkin’ 151, I don’t wanna hear it.
qaeta@lemmy.cato Science Memes@mander.xyz•It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technologyEnglish2·21 days agoWill they actually devote the resources to try to pierce the anonymity of those handful of people?
Given how rapidly they’ve been trying to tighten their grip lately? Yes. They want to know everything about everyone all the time. And they don’t give two shits if we consent to it.
PETA wants to shame the turkey’s entire bloodline by causing them to dishonourably die of old age. Why does PETA hate turkeys?
qaeta@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Spotify playing ads for paid subscribersEnglish21·22 days agoI will never give YT music money since they killed off Google Play Music (a far superior music app) to make it. I told them during the switchover the only way they would keep getting money from me was to not kill GPM, and so far, I’ve kept my word.
I have. CP’s response was the absolutely absurd “we do not require couriers to deliver packages provided to them for delivery.” My flabbers were legitimately ghasted at that response, and is when I completely gave up on them ever becoming a legitimate or remotely reliable delivery service.
Honestly, to this very day, I still struggle to wrap my head around the idea of a business that, as a matter of policy, do not require their employees to do the work they hired them to do.
