p sure starbucks ran afoul of election law last time around bc they offered free coffee if you voted, it's illegal to compensate someone for voting even if you're not telling them who to vote for

nah a bunch of places invite you to come in with an I voted sticker and get free poo poo. it is legal because the sticker tells you nothing about how you voted. you could have even cast an empty ballot.

they do it but it's still illegal and most places big enough for anyone to notice will open the promo up to anybody

they're totally doing this. this year. and i'm not just talking expansion of fresh either.

i'm sure they're jizzing over the idea of getting that button integrated into your IoT enabled washer so that each time you press it amazon gets a sale and whorlpool gets a cut from unilever.

Hurt Whitey Maybe: Jun 26, 2008; I mean maybe not. Or maybe. Definitely don't kill anyone.

my mom is excited about the Amazon button because she likes to order basic necessities on Amazon and would enjoy the novelty. I could see it being useful if you could combine it with your subscribe and save and then just have the button send your next installment. like I get shampoo mailed to me every month, but it usually lasts me ~25 days if I'm not careful. you can get it sent a little early but just pressing the button would be nice.

it won't ever be a big thing but it's a cool gimmick that makes you feel like it's the future.

Or you could stop freaking the gently caress out and go to the store after you've made a list of the things you need

i will often be in my laundry nook thing and say "hmm i'm getting low on detergent" then absolutely forget that by the time i've actually finished and gone somewhere to write it down

being able to press a button when i notice that is p cool

i mean, i'm not going to pay extra for it or anything, but it's not a bad initial idea and i hope they build on it

or maybe they could put rfid sensors in every box/bottle of consumer products made and then they would communicate with a central amazon wifi thing that constantly polls all products in the house at any given moment.

hmm chips are getting eaten in this household from 9-930pm and the mic can hear that seinfeld re-runs are on, best show the seinfeld dvd box set in their amazon feed next time they go online, and offer a lays subscribe and save or a seinfeld/lays soft bundle.
