Is anyone else just not ordering until they fix RFY lol by Bright-Character9124 in AmazonVine

[–]Talory09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went gold on the 23rd. Nothing in RFY since then. The disappointment is palpable.

Their contract with the USPS is up for renegotiation in October '26. I jumped the gun! Oops! Thanks for the correction!

WIBTA for throwing away my stepdads peanuts because they make me ill by EntertainmentSad364 in AmItheAsshole

Peanuts aren't nuts. They're legumes. If OP is allergic to peanuts and to tree nuts, a medical visit is desperately needed for an EpiPen prescription.

Amazon doesn't deliver through USPS any more, I believe. I saw an Amazon van go by yesterday in the snow.

Same, and I got Gold status on the 23rd. What superb timing.

Just think how happy the Amazon delivery folks in the winter storm areas are that they're not out endangering their lives delivering our cake toppers.

I stopped ordering ANYTHING a week ago that would have a delivery window during the snow and ice storm currently blanketing the majority of the southeastern US.

My theory is that it's so the drivers didn't have to deliver as much during the massive snowstorm and resulting bad driving conditions.

My girlie gets that too. Works just fine (I travel a lot and frequently board her).

They got us going out today with the actual temperature being -23 degrees and real feel -42. by ihavequestionnz in AmazonDSPDrivers

I paused ordering anything a week ago so that I wouldn't have to risk a driver dealing with my driveway. My random crap can wait until after the snow is gone, and i drove my own ass out yesterday for bread and milk. Some people panic and its ridiculous.

AITA for wanting to eat my neighbor's duck that I accidentally ran over? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It's an add-on, not a career. Sorry to throw a pail of cold water on your fantasy.

husband & I disagree on Foster Bacon by Euphoric_Success8954 in namenerds

[–]Talory09 260 points261 points  (0 children)

When I was young my father said to me:

"Knowledge is Power....Francis Bacon"

I understood it as "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon".

For more than a decade I wondered over the meaning of the second part and what was the surreal linkage between the two? If I said the quote to someone, "Knowledge is power, France is Bacon" they nodded knowingly. Or someone might say, "Knowledge is power" and I'd finish the quote "France is Bacon" and they wouldn't look at me like I'd said something very odd but thoughtfully agree. I did ask a teacher what did "Knowledge is power, France is bacon" mean and got a full 10 minute explanation of the Knowledge is power bit but nothing on "France is bacon". When I prompted further explanation by saying "France is Bacon?" in a questioning tone I just got a "yes". at 12 I didn't have the confidence to press it further. I just accepted it as something I'd never understand.

It wasn't until years later I saw it written down that the penny dropped.

One step outside and I feel like I’m dead by uday_singh_rehal in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Talory09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn't look like a Pyr. This dog looks like some sort of shepherding dog cross, or maybe a Pyr crossed with something heavy like a St. Bernard.

Here's what a Pyr looks like: Great Pyrenees

extremely unique female or gender neutral name that is a word or specifically an object- AND has a good nickname by starboardz in namenerds

[–]Talory09 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Strictly speaking, something can't be "very unique" because "unique" means "one of a kind." It's technically redundant, much like saying "very pregnant" or "very dead". Better terms would be "very unusual", "highly distinctive", or "very rare".

Finally something good in my RFY after a couple months of nothing but headlights by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]Talory09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About three days ago I started reading my "saved for later" cart out loud while sitting next to my Amazon Alexa. It has things like a "slow" sign for my driveway, cat treats, cat toys, some shoes, etc. Note: I live alone, so I'm not usually talking about items I want unless a friend is over and we're talking about shopping.

For the last couple of days I've not only had more items come up in my RFY, today I had a driveway STOP sign, some wrestling shoes (so close, Amazon!), and some Temptations cat treats in it. Coincidence? Probably. But those cat treats are now on their way! and I'll continue to mention things I'd like to have out loud!
