amazon always had taxes in Washington state and anywhere where there was an amazon owned warehouse

It helped Newegg exist for such a long time after it became trash. They had to plead with WA customers to stay when the sales tax change hit, because why would you use them anymore if not to dodge taxes?

makehligh, i need to tell you something. no, i know you know that santa claus isn't real because you found out in the youtube comments section from our 2018 christmas video. its actually a bit more of a bamboozle on the part of ol' dad here. yeah turns out that your entire childhood has been choreographed to maximize the profit that you generate for your mother and I by appearing to interact genuinely with brands. also, none of that money is yours.

it's somehow hilarious to me that this is too dystopian even for sci-fi writers to have predicted: an entire line of robots being lobotimized because their cloud-hosted brains were shut down when the dying company was taken over by a venture capital firm to strip it clean of anything with value

My friends dad had a minor heart attack recently.

Except it wasn't a heart attack, it was his pacemaker wrongly detecting him having a heart attack and trying to "restart" him.

It was fixed after some time on the phone with an overseas tech and a reboot.

Anyway price of art is totally subjective. If someone pays $2.4 mil for it it's worth $2.4 mil. Unfortunately it depreciated, a bad investment but they've still got the exact thing they paid for.
