    same. i feel gross using it but it’s literally figuratively magic being able to lie in bed, realize i need a specific cable for something, order it on my phone, and have it the next morning

    sometimes i’ll try to go to an actual store instead, but then often they won’t have the specific thing, or it’ll be out of stock, or they’ll only have expensive ones, and either way i have to drive there and back and talk to the guy which is a pain

      What things do you all need so fast? The convenience is undeniable, but once I forced myself to stop using them i found I don’t actually need to sacrifice my morals and the planet to get something the next morning
