Reminds me how people who have been paying much more in rent each month for years, often decades, are constantly refused mortgages for being "high risk" đ¤Ś
That's because if the rates suddenly go up, you won't be able to afford the mortgage and you'll go bankrupt. If your rent goes too high, you can just find a cheaper place.
I think it's Nate Bargatzki who talked about how he bought a refrigerator and then Amazon kept recommending refrigerators to him. He said "I already solved that problem, Amazon. Remember? You were there".
It's always funny to me when someone talks about how awesome the tech behind recommender-systems is and what complex problems had to be solved to make it work but in the end it's still just absolute garbage.
While you're here, allow us to tempt you with this fine selection of unadorned plastic garbage cans that are either too small for your garbage or just barely too big for your garbage bags.
I bought a laptop, from Amazon, something I do at most every 2-3 years.
For months since Amazon has been spamming me with laptop offers. I don't see what the best case scenario here is, I return the one I bought and get a new one?
Let's be honest though... there's been a time in your life that you've gone into a public restroom and wished that you had your own toilet seat with you.
Whenever I would buy rabbit food for a rabbit I was taking care of I would always get ads for chinchilla food and food for other small mammals. Like, I'm not out here collecting animals I just got the one.
