Never owned a bird account. Spent 17 years at Reddit.
Be excellent to each other. She/Her. GenX.

I just checked and these bags have no such thing written anywhere on them.
Well my social situation means I have to take a bargain where it becomes available to me. Not just hypothetically, I’ve actually been homeless in the past so I don’t want to end up there again because I was spending more than I need to of my meager income in some desperate attempt to support people who own brick and mortar businesses. That’s a lot more than I’ve ever had.
SDA is the union that represents Amazon workers in Australia.
If you’re buying a branded product and it is shipped by the official brand store on Amazon, then you can be assured it is not counterfeit. If you buy a branded product that is shipped by Amazon it could be co-mingled with counterfeit stock.
the value seems to be entirely in the packaging.
How true and how ridiculous is that?! At least my Pop Vinyls & Star Trek Hot-wheels collectibles are still functional toys if they are ever removed from their packaging.
❤️ Last year I gave the postie a six pack of beer, the year before I gave him a box of Favourites (popular box of mixed chocolates). The postie is delivering rain, hail, or shine. He’s usually already dropped off my delivery while I’m still in bed! It’s a tough job and they don’t get enough praise.
I mean, if it were 20 different items I could probably put it down to that but there were six packets of each of the flavours and types. You’d think all the Alfredo’s could go in one package, for example, not each in their own padded envelope. Does pasta even need padding? It was just ridiculous, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a disgruntled worker engaged in a bit of malicious compliance!
Oh no! I don’t drive, so heavy and bulky is why I need most things delivered. 😅
I put the packages in this box to bring them in, so I can imagine it would’ve been pretty frustrating going back and forth to the truck with handfuls of packages. I sure hope he forgives me. lol.
But anyway, why cat litter? Because it’s heavy, or spills? I’m in Australia so online cat litter offerings are not a cost effective option, but I’ll keep your protest in mind for the future.
There was like 12 packet pastas @ 85 grams each, 12 cans of spaghetti and baked beans. A couple of other odds and ends. All piled on my front porch when I arrived home from work today. The postman must’ve been livid.
They say they are expected to accept contracts that were designed for the old business model while the industry structure and technologies have changed. Here’s some video of the speeches & demonstrations.
I think a time will come in our dystopian future where it will be trendy to have a performance by a real actor or a traditional painting created by a real artist … that will be the gimmick, so to say.
Give 'em an inch and they’ll take a mile.
Same. My little lord needs prescription wet food. It used to be AUD$25 for a box of 12 sachets (which was already expensive for less than a week worth of pet food), creeping up over the last six months, now AUD$37.50.

I’ve been a member of reddit for 17 years and it took almost a decade before it became popular with the masses. People weren’t attracted to the format, didn’t fully understand how reddit worked, or were unaware of it’s existence for a long time, and as such reddit was more popular with the technically minded. I see the same thing here. I fully admit, I am completely lost here, and in fact, this is my first post. So it needs development, for sure, but I do believe that decentralised social networking is going to be the future … we are coming in on the ground floor. It’s just gonna take a long time before the fediverse is even seen by the vast majority, let alone accessible and understood.
Yes. I got a package from Amazon US a week or so after this post and it had that written on it. I pulled it apart to investigate but the padding was not plastic bubbles like the ones in my OP photo. So it must be some sort of corn stuff that can be recycled, but unfortunately I’ve never had Australian Amazon packages in that recyclable padded packaging. We have a stiff cardboard bag that can be recycled but it’s only single layer. My groceries did not even require padded packaging though!
