I think Amazon search is intentionally “bad”, as it suggests unrelated items that the customer has a high chance of viewing and buying.
So it’s not so much of “search is bad” but “search is suggesting unrelated, but potentially interesting items” which leads to more sales.
Also this is why the item descriptions are such pain in the ass, to show them in as many searches as possible - sellers gaming the system.
The whole platform is designed to sell you as much shit as possible, usually on top of the item you actually wanted. This way you order your shit happily with some extra items in the cart
Thank you for bringing back good memories.
In my case, the abrahamic one. Narcissistic asshole
That there’s a loving God.
Now it seems clear that even if he did exist, he’s just above average asshole

So nothing new here
Pasted the text here so no need to visit r*ddit.
The text covered well for the software related history of Gates, but let’s also not forget the not-so-far past. Dealings with Epstein (which led to divorce with Melinda, sus?) and helping monopolize COVID vaccines come to mind first
Bill Gates *has*, in fact, earned himself the "evil CEO" stereotype in the past. [Microsoft was a notorious monopoly](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft) throughout the 1990s. It was even convicted of anti-trust violation in both the US and EU; both times it paid the fine and went on being a monopoly anyway. Their OEM agreements with hardware vendors actually made it difficult to impossible to get any other operating system onto a PC.
When we talk about "altruism and sustainability" applied to software, most of us should be thinking about Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Starting all the way back in the 1970s with his "[open letter to hobbyists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists)," Gates carried out a decades-long vendetta against all open source software anywhere. This went beyond all common business sense into "now you're just being a dick" territory. See also the pack of frivolous lawsuits Microsoft pressed against the FOSS community and Steve Ballmer referring to FOSS as a "cancer."
Generally, Bill Gates was to nerds what Joe McCarthy was to Socialists for a few decades. So he burned some very heavy bridges, even among his peers in the tech community. And BTW, Gates was born wealthy and managed to muscle Microsoft Windows onto IBM merely through family connections.
NOW, in the present day, Gates has separated himself from all that and become a legendary altruist, especially contributing to fight diseases through the Gates' Foundation. Some might even say he redeemed himself. Microsoft itself buried the open source hatchet finally; partly because the desktop market is now sinking out from under them while Google has taken its place as the monopoly heavyweight.
Anyway, the above is an attempt to provide some context, nothing more. I know that a portion of the public will always say "billionaire = bad!" no matter what. But it's not like you can say Gates did nothing wrong.
Elon, Bezos, Gates and Trump would make a great crew
Arguably ‘russia’s economy’ is a word combination without obvious linguistic problems
There’s shorter queue here for his mom
I’ve enjoyed banana-peanutbutter smoothies past year. They’re just so good, either oat milk or the regular

You’d still be moving some 30km/s around the sun, and need to decelerate from that speed.
Yeah it’s weird it just says ‘mod’ or ‘admin’ instead of the username

It’s not the vegan posts people are down voting, but there’s been a huge amount of “memes” that do not contribute to the vegan discussion but just try to divide the community
Completely fair. They have specific distro they support, and their staff is trained for. Also this seems like you’ve got some OS level issues independent from steam…
