    Prime shipping is included with my prime streaming subscription and the streaming subscription pays for itself. Having prime shipping is just an added bonus for me.

      this used to be true. now they’re putting ads on the videos.

      so you have to pay extra to remove the fucking ads. this is intentional shittification in order to drive prices upward.

      FUCK DICK ROCKET JEFF.

        Amazon HQ in Seattle, WA looks like a dick and balls too.

        Source: I live in Bell Town Seattle a few blocks away, yes that is a real picture of their HQ that I took myself.

          fellow seattloid here, thankful I don’t have to see dickrocket jeff’s faceted bollocks often. I used to spend loads of time in SLU but these days it’s kinda a sterile wasteland.

          belltown on the other hand continues to remain Seattle’s finest open air insane asylum!

            Capital Hill has been on a steady decline ever since they removed the mystery soda vending machine.

          I’ve been in the Bezos balls. (Anyone seen the old Woody Allen sex movie?) Neat but no good reason for them to be balls. It’s just a climate controlled botanical garden.

          I’ll also note that the place is jam packed with staff that constantly ask you if you have any questions. Well… I asked questions and no one had any clue. Great job.

          There’s also a not great coffee bar inside. Underwhelming.

      I like the prime gaming service. On the site, there’s this list of games with free stuff if you have a prime account, which is a great way to see a list of MTX games to avoid playing.
