Observing American politics feels really strange at the moment (lemm.ee)

As an outsider (I live in Belgium) it feels very weird and dystopian to see everything happening in American politics with Trump and Musk.

On one side, it's very interesting and almost entertaining; on the other side, it's scary. I can't imagine what it must be like to live in the USA.

Americans, how do you cope? What's your take on the situation?

Amazon is just straight up bad. I have to be super desperate to buy something from there. Even when it was "good" i mainly used it to find something and compare it, and read reviews. If you do that now, you're an insane person. Amazon video or what it's called is really really bad. They show a lot of shows that you have to click on, to tell you that it's not available in your region. It would be hilarious to just stop using amazon and see Jeffrey losing his shit. But not gonna happen.

    Yeah, now all of the reviews are bought and paid for anyway. So it’s not even good for that anymore. I really wish people could put in literally the smallest amount of effort to change bad habits. It’s crazy that people just seem addicted to it

    Amazon is what I use when the original company doesn't ship to me but I still want their product. Used it like a year ago for a Tribit speaker.

    Took over a week to take my payment out which was wild. If ive been through the purchase process the money should already be gone like it is for literally every single other online transaction I have ever done in my entire life.
