It's almost like the entire thing is performative bullshit

Is there a "go woke, go broke" but for nazis?
Same thing with tinnitus ... your brain just filters it out
Can't relate.
too real
Years ago — late 90s — I used to travel to Vermont from the UK on business. Because of the time difference I'd often wake up at ~3:30 in the morning and since there was very little to do in a hotel room in Burlington, I'd put The Weather Channel on.
Quite often they'd report on "snow coming down from Canada", or "frigid air coming down from Canada", and I always thought it was weird how they seemed to be subtly blaming another country for weather phenomena.
Dunno why I thought of that.
Anyway, electric vans. Cool.
First time I ever went there (1997) I landed at Boston Logan Airport, and a guy in plain clothes, but with a gun, stopped everyone who was departing the plane and repeatedly yelled out "American citizens this way, foreigners line up against the wall!".
I never once felt safe going there, and was always relieved when I got out alive. Decided a few years ago that I'll never set foot in the US again.
That seems like a good move.

I dread to think how much energy and effort is wasted shipping these items back and forth when someone buys something online and then returns it.
It's worse than that — a lot of returned stuff ends up in landfill because it's not worth the cost of re-stocking it.
Agreed!
Not the first time I've read through one of these scam-baiting articles and I'm sure it won't be the last. It's quite fascinating how they work.

I watched Watchmen (2009) last night, thereby answering the question and the meta-question.
