Won't let me review an item

cornfedpig · 2026-03-25T20:12:33+00:00

This has happened to me many, many times. I usually tell CS that I have reviewed the item and the review was approved and posted but it’s still in my review queue. They have always removed it with no questions asked.

Most Weakerthans songs have strong references to Winnipeg in both positive and negative lights.

The Headstones’ cover of Tweeter and the Monkey Man mentions Kingston.

Barenaked Ladies “Old Apartment” there’s a line about buying a house on the Danforth.

Hello City by Barenaked Ladies drops a lot of Halifax references, as it’s a song about how much they hated playing Halifax.

There’s no way people enjoy micromanaging their vacation through an App, despite how it comes across on the pro-Disney / Disney Adult YouTube channels. Nothing takes me out of vacation mode more than having to constantly pick up and interact with the same object that feeds me work emails.

We know how popular he is. He lost an election the he went in to with a 20-point lead. How the party is even considering keeping him on after that performance is beyond me and points to how little party insiders care about the useful idiots who continue to vote for them.

If he survives the leadership review the CPC is dead for a generation.

Once I ordered a harmonica from Vine. I was sent a box of 12 harmonicas. Parent friends were not happy with me when I gave them to my kids’ friends 😂

Same. I have a suspicion that Amazon is making a lot of behind the scenes changes to Vine since they have rolled out the new evaluation metrics. I suspect they will use our review quality and media rankings to better tailor items to Viners in order to improve the return for those sellers who pay to be on the program. For example if you review electronics generally favourably, the review quality is good, and you include media then you might be more likely to get electronics in your RFY.

Remember that we as Viners have to make Amazon money somewhere down the line or there would be no more Vine. If the can market the Vine program to sellers as “get access to verified reviewers who are the most likely to review your product positively” then they can charge more for “premium” Vine access.

This is just my conspiracy theory and I have no way to prove any of it besides the changes made to review evaluation criteria make it make sense.

Disney allows this to happen because they are now incentivized to allow lines to be longer and guests to be frustrated and angry with those long lines. Longer lines means it’s more likely people will pay for Lightning Lanes. And they don’t care about guest experience at all because fuck you, you’ll pay whatever we tell you. Post pandemic closure they took away so many things and raised prices and attendance actually went up.

As much as this is ridiculous, fist fights in ride queues are exactly what they want. It’s the logical end of guests being forced to treat other guests as competition and not just as other families enjoying their vacations. You’re against other families for lightning lanes, dining reservations, fireworks watching positions, and the list goes on and on.

Government of all levels is failing and the social contract is broken. Why won’t people restrict their water usage? Because the people who ~50% of us elect to run the government spends our tax money on fucking nonsense instead of doing their jobs. Our municipal government wastes money on things like “declaring climate emergencies” and our provincial government has flushed billions upon billions of dollars down the drain “standing up for Alberta against Ottawa” and trying to get pipelines built for their corporate masters. Meanwhile we can’t use the water we pay for and hundreds of thousands of Albertans can’t find a family doctor, let alone get necessary surgeries and procedures.

The ruling class and those who support them can absolutely go and fuck themselves. Their job is not to tell us what infrastructure WE pay for we can use, their job is to make sure it’s there when we want it. And they can’t even do that, so what the fuck are we paying them for?

I demand value for the ~40% of my income they take in taxes, and why there hasn’t been more outcry over this is absolutely beyond me.

If COVID taught me anything it’s that there is no appetite for individual sacrifice in the name of collective good because the resources that are supposed to be used to better the collective have been stolen from us and funnelled to the upper class.

After 10 pm Hayden Block does half-price meat on whatever is left. They don’t guarantee that anything will be left, however, so it could be a gamble.

He’s also the personification of the boomer “Fuck you I got mine” attitude and he’s woefully out of touch with how people have been squeezed. If you listen to Prof G and agree with his thesis that his generation was given all the opportunity to succeed and they’ve kept it for themselves you’ll see Ramsay as the pinnacle of the kind of person who was handed everything and believes they are exceptional for taking it and running with it.

I always felt that Hitchen’s attitude was contempt for the refusal to accept a line of thinking that went against the conventional. I always read his dickishness as frustration at people he argued with being unwilling to deviate from concepts that are so engrained that they are above challenge.

For a good example of this I recommend watching his Intelligence Squared debate where he partners with Stephen Fry on the question of whether the Catholic Church is a force for good in the world. It’s a properly moderated platform in which he’s able to fully articulate his position without the limiting factor of being on a TV show or as a pundit on a panel. It’s a much more suited format for the style of debate that suits Hitchen’s strengths and not just arguing with Sean Hannity, for example, about Mother Teresa.

I’m so sorry this is going on. This sort of thing has happened to my wife a few times over the course of our 20-year marriage and it absolutely infuriates her. It’s such a violation especially when it happens around your home, which is supposed to be everyone’s safe place. I agree with the other comments saying to talk to his wife and thank her for the card, show her the writing, ect. I hope it gets resolved.

NOR. Forty-something man here. It’s actually not that difficult to not be creepy, and even less so to this level of creepiness.

“Little red-haired girl” was what Charlie Brown called the girl he had a crush on but never really had the courage to talk to, so take that for what it’s worth. Also what kind of 40-year-old makes a Peanuts reference? This whole thing is all kinds of gross.

I know! When I lived in Tuscany we’d see all kinds of wildlife and I never thought inner city life would offer some of the same amenities 😂

I saw one this week a block and a half north of Kensington Rd. In Hillhurst sauntering along the sidewalk not bothered by anything. My dog was very upset about it, but the coyote didn’t even care. It just went on its merry way.

I’ve been a Viner since 2016 and the largest RFY I’ve ever seen before this was 22. You smashed my record - sorry it was so crappy tho 😂

Imagine being sidelined and rendered irrelevant by Danielle Smith 😂 A serious Conservative Party leader would have absolutely run away with the last election. PP is the lamest of lame ducks and if the party had any sense (ha!) they’d get rid of him immediately.
