Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Are there any decent alternatives to Amazon? Please don't say Walmart.

Just drive your monster truck to the store 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇲🇺🇲🦅🇺🇲

Edit: Seriously though, cities built around automobiles in the US predate Amazon by many decades. Ordering everything to be delivered to your door may be convenient but it is not essential.

a delivery route can be better for the environment/less total labor than 100 individual trips to a retail store but the math on that gets weird fast depending on the goods, how far out of the way the routes are of where you or the truck were going anyway, and dozens of other factors.

it's probably been over a year since i got anything from jeff.
