Mastadon has good stuff too and a mirror for war translates, but substack has some great deep dives.

Phillips O’Brien, Andrew, and future doctrine all on there

I’m so glad there are still decent people who try to do the right thing. Then there are the people who run Reddit.

Aww, that makes me so happy for both of you. I hope you have many cuddles this weekend. Loves doxies, those eyes.

That’s absurd. If I can recall from my marketing classes from looooong ago, in order to say it’s a discount the item needs to at least have a higher sticker price on sale before so this is their manipulation of that. I notice this mostly in book publishing/Amazon but that’s likely because that 95% of what I buy. Though I still argue I’m better at saving money grocery shopping my spouse doesn’t agree, and since they cook I don’t argue.

That’s seems like reasonable.

I’m sure I’m not telling you anything new, but if you use them for marketing I’d always try to include your self hosted link. Before retiring for health reasons I worked in mfr and I know when we would have shortages from our existing suppliers for actual parts we’d also start just googling that part directly and occasionally would find new suppliers that way though that involved more risks and extra testing of the parts ordered so it wasn’t a regular thing.

For consumer stuff I enjoyed a lot of reddits comics and am glad I bookmarked those artists site so I can give them clicks directly. Plus I won’t miss out on limited sales of merch for some of them. There was a dragon plushie I regret missing. Good luck on your business.

I think we need more competition and anti trust enforcement on the big conglomerates that own majority’s of any said market. Sometimes feel like we are going through another robber baron stage in the US.

That’s a very scritchable belly. I hope doggy is enjoying their day to shine.
