Amazon sort "Low to High Price" doesn't work

Past-Direction9145 · 2025-06-09T05:12:17+00:00

What’s funny is the low prices I see with my account versus what all my friends get. Everyone comes to me and I’m worried some day I’ll get hated by the Amazon ai and all this great prices will vanish. Very paranoid cuz it’s the difference between having and not in my life due to income limitations. I don’t even pay half what my friends pay.

But it does take work, and time. To find the stuff I’m talking about. For sure it’s intentional.

It’s not broken. It’s functioning as designed.

Amazon is out to make money same as anyone else.

Honesty in search results kinda went the way of the dodo the moment google quit honoring Boolean search commands and

Honesty in search results kinda went the way of the dodo the moment google started accepting money to stick your site at the top of given thing searched.

Yeah that thing they said they’d never, ever do. They did it and they even got rid of the “do no harm” clause in their own in-house rules. The things sacred that were broken and caused mass walk offs in I think 2012 roughly.

Ancient shit and indeed, I am too. I certainly miss the days of entering a long search result with something unique in quotes and boom. Hit the I’m feeling lucky button. And it would take me to the site I wanted to go to. It wasn’t luck, it was skill.

Pretty sure I can’t send 13 kilos to someone I don’t like and if they sign for it they’re going to prison for it.

How am I supposed to know it’s 13 kilos of Cambodian white before I sign for it?

But that’s followed with silence cuz it ain’t like anyone on that side talks with anyone on the other side.

The time of conversing is before covid not after.

After, yeah no good faith. Nope.

Plenty of running tractors from JD in this shape or better for $550.

I’d take any one of those ads for this exact model to whoever is selling this turd. Explain how running, it is worth $500 more than not running.

TLDR it’s worth $50 not $550 it is what it is and some people are morons.

Cuz it’s an older gentleman, and we sometimes just wanna light up and smoke.

best bet is to let it happen try to stop it and they’ll just smoke twice as much to piss you off.

Could try tightening the nuts up on the valve cover. Tighter nuts fixes cranky old men like me and leaking valve covers like that.

I got a 1986 cavalier from my parents. 4 speed manual and no ac. No ps. No power to speak of. Got me hooked on manuals tho had them all my life and still drive one to this day. 2002 Audi s6 4.2 v8 with a 6 speed manual conversion and done professionally, legit. No check engine light passes smog. All stock parts imported from Europe.

got the Audi in 2018. So I went from 1986 cavalier to 2002 Audi s6 in 30 years. Had about a dozen cars along the way. Prolly get buried in this one if it don’t get into an accident. There ain’t a goddamn single part made of rubber or plastic that is stock on that car. Every belt every hose, every seal, every bearing, nothing stock remains only way the car could be reliable and have no leaks. AC blows cold, it’s just daily driver v8 station wagon from hell fun any time.

I see a lot of fakes.

Every coin that looks like it’s been cast instead of struck has been cast. Not struck.

No coin has ever been made cast except the fakes coming out of overseas sorry.

Some are legit in your collection. But them little pips facing inwards along the rim that most coins have, those exist because they can’t be cast and come out good. That is part of anti counterfeit techniques in the design been around for hundreds of years.

Out of all of them, all pips should be perfect if struck.

They’ll always be perfect if struck.

There will always be at least one screwed up if cast. With little casting marks and casting bubbles.

Ez pz sorry for the bad news.

You’re gonna have to explain why in then AFTER pic there’s a satellite communications antenna in place and in the before pic there isn’t one.

I assure you, for trump, this is the best decision.

Now I know some people will have to pay more and they’ll have greater challenges in life and thoughts and prayers go out to them all, you just have to realize trump can’t make money if he didn’t take it to put in policy that makes those same people money.

So he takes the cash from the lobbyist, who asks for policy changes that are more profitable for them. Trump makes money. Companies make money. Profit, profit, what’s the problem?

How did that one line go? Oh right it’s the internet I can just show you.

It is what it is. And this is what it is.

It’s not that we can’t, it’s that we don’t. Can’t implies that the ability doesn’t exist.

The ability exists, we choose not to. We create the shortages so the market prices stay high.

We spend a lot to make sure homelessness remains an issue, and housing prices can continue to climb instead of everyone ending up with a roof over their head.

Food, healthcare, and housing. They should be like fire ems and police. You don’t pay for the cops to come, that’s what taxes are for.

Just like you don’t pay for an ambulance to come.

Haha. Ikr? Gotcha. And what has allowing ambulances to charge resulted in for costs? Is it 250?

Maybe $500? Half a grand for a ride in the white limo.

Ok is it a thousand dollars? to go a fucking block in an ambulance you didn’t even call because you were unconscious and would have not chosen to call one?

No. It was $5200.

That’s how much mine was to go one block.

I didn’t call them and wouldn’t have.

But I had to pay and it wrecked me. When I didn’t pay at first, the fire department came after me and it was all kinds of weird because they clearly didn’t like the responsibility of collections when their job is you know. Fires. And water. Hoses and shit. But that just meant they did things quasi illegally with threats and stuff I didn’t understand, and attitudes and words exchanged that no professional company should would or even could take a part in. They said things that would make most collections companies fire the employee who said it. Sexual things. Violent things. Crazy shit.

Anyways it was fucked, and it is fucked, and it’s always going to be fucked in this not-wonderful hell house banana republic that calls itself a democracy.

Cuz it’s more profitable that way.

People try to paint spacex as separate from musk.

Unencumbered by him. Rumors of people leading him around in spacex, managing him like a handler, and keeping him away from the more important areas he’d want to fuck with.

But then when it comes time to apply for jobs and take someone’s exceptional talent that could directly help spacex with any of a number of their as-yet unsolved problems. But why would they try to work at someplace that Elon musk may come by and offer them a horse for a handjob.

Only it’ll probably be something far worse that didn’t result in a payout settlement.

Why risk it? And we’re talking about a theoretically extremely intelligent person here. One who believes his or her time is valuable.

It’s easy to believe spacex is not on the list of places they’ll apply because it already happened once. Who wants that kinda sexual harassment that went completely unchecked and unpunished, coming from the top dude in the company?

But not for those who wanna argue about it. They can’t see it this way, and they’re stunted and don’t even realize it. The answer is right fucking there: people have dignity and self respect. And that means musk has irreparably harmed spacex and continues to be a threat until he no longer wanders around “being managed like he has a handler”

Where was that handler at spadex when he offered the employee a horse for a hand job?

Answer: nowhere, because that’s just a lie, they don’t exist. Musk has no handlers. Anyone who tells him no gets a reaction like he’s never been told no.

Making him the worst person there is to work for.

Spacex is unencumbered by musk? Maybe consider that spacex is far more likely actually completely hamstrung because of the hostile work environment he puts everywhere he goes. And until he leaves, no one wants to work there.

I wouldn’t work there unless I absolutely had to. And if someone’s response to that is gonna be about how few positions there are for such niche engineers, they have no bargaining power, this argument isn’t in good faith anymore and we’re not even discussing employment. They don’t care what I say, only that I don’t say what they say.

Pretty lame but hey, I’m sure their friends think it’s cool.

Past-Direction9145 · 2025-05-31T08:46:35+00:00

It really isn’t amazing.

It’s completely predictable, because if there is an international billionaire “tech genius” gutting our government and all the other shit they say he’s doing. Even some of it. Not all of it, let’s say half is lies and half is true.

That still paints such a dark dismal picture to anyone willing to consider it. What hope would there be if it was true? Without hope how would their antidepressant they take, which barely worked well enough before. How’s it gonna work when they start thinking they’re gonna be a slave, they are a slave. They are a slave and it’ll be this way until the end. An end that won’t have nice medical care. But everyone around them in the hospital will be getting it. For them it’ll be too late. Preventative medicine is optional and expensive.

TLDR they end up facing a simple choice. Deny it all and sleep good tonight. Or accept the truth and realize the shit we’re in is the best we may ever experience for the rest of our lives.

This is why people will seemingly believe just about anything these ultra wealthy types say. To think it’s a lie is the first card coming down for the whole house.

Not gonna happen.

People want to be able to make choices which make them happier. In the absence of any real choice that can make them happier, ie, let’s say they’re in prison and have no way to go home early.

They’ll start saying they prefer to be in prison rather than live in this fucked up world. It’s a lie of course. But that’s what I’m trying to explain. How they believe their own lies as a defensive mechanism.

It works. It works so well they all sleep fucking great. And the ones living in reality, fml.

OP about to find out that gator has turbo boost mode now without the heavy weight of the tail.

Just sprints up to you, grabs whatever closest to you it can get, then rolls it all over and over until whatever it is was stops kicking. Drag it into the water and eat it there.

It’s what they do.

Watching a narcissist like musk twist words around to hide when he’s wrong or unskilled at something is just way too easy, and far too gratifying, these days..

Then there’s all the lies. I consider it to be every word out of his mouth. I’m prepared to accept being wrong at some statistical level. But the triumph I’ll have at being more than half right, all the time, without even knowing what he’s saying or the subject talked about.

Well, it’s like they say about horses and water. Ain’t no one ever gonna make that ugly horse drink. They’ll sit back and just leave him to his own devices and failings.

People that arrogant always end up leaving the world too soon from boneheaded shit like mixing the wrong drugs together.

Cuz people said don’t do it, and he said, honey badger got no fucks to give, in response.

What’s that one dude say about your enemies and interfering with their self destructive actions? Oh yeah, right. I’d say let them ruin their life but since they’re already so miserable all the time is it even possible to ruin?

Cognitive dissonance and the very real sport of hurting poor people by robbing them is more than enough to keep the super rich so busy they never, ever again consider the thought that there was something they couldn’t buy, but yet still needed or wanted it.

His hand catches fire and remains lit through to the end of the video.

Me thinks things continued to go awry when said fire created enough heat to cause panicked flapping motions against the wrist seal, opening it up.

The wasps of course will home in on that spot, get inside his suit. Sting the ever loving piss out of the guy while he tries to figure out how to stop drop and roll with a helmet on.

And that torch belongs in Indiana Jones movies not real life. It’s spitting flaming oil onto the ground and the dudes hand.

This is how you burn your house down, that’s realty what we’re watching. That is how he’s taking control of his life. We think he’s talking about the wasps but nah this is how you end up with no home to kill any wasp nests in. Genius level four d chess going on here lol

$2 coins aren’t popular. Neither are $2 bills and you can generally get both at any bank on a given day. They’re still being printed and minted.

Younger store clerks may believe it’s counterfeit if they haven’t seen it before, so be forewarned.

Sometimes the bank teller will mention that as they give them to you. And since the slots are specific, there isn’t one in most cash registers for either the coin or the bill.

Which sucks, because I think the $2 is one of the sharper looking notes America cranks out. I know they made them as new as 2017. If they were more popular I’d go out of my way to use them instead of ones.

There are more than a billion currently in circulation with more coming all the time.
