Amazon. I'm not about to go on some farfetched adventure to a random bookstore 10 miles away to find out if they have the obscure memoirs of a 19th century Prussian statesman when I know all they have is the latest atrocious best sellers. Nor am I inclined to order from some shoddy book seller site with second rate and unreliable delivery services that takes 5 times longer to arrive if it ever does.
Amazon has built the most efficient and effective commercial service on the market and solves a problem that I value being solved satisfactorily. It has earned its market share in this regard. It's not like it's some predatory hedge fund that makes all its money through asset stripping . The reasoning may be socially darwinian but it is also sound.

>The vast majority of people keep pressing the pain button because they think it will eventually dispense a cupcake.

>I think that Bukowski was a hack and that John Martin's edits to Bukowski's poems make the poems sound way better, yet Martin--a patient, accommodating editor--has been unfairly maligned.
>BUKOWSKI: if you're going to try it, go all the way. otherwise, don't get into it.
>MARTIN: if you're going to try, go all the way. otherwise, don't even start.
>BUKOWSKI: all the other is a test of your guts.
>MARTIN: all the others are a test of your endurance.
>BUKOWSKI: against total rejection and the highest of odds.
>MARTIN: despite rejection and the worst odds.
>BUKOWSKI: but it will be better than doing anything else you can think of.
>MARTIN: and it will be better than anything else you can imagine.

>This. The mainstream hates Catholics because they are angry leftist women, and the idea of giving birth to healthy children instead of aborting them, or submitting to a devoted
>and exclusive husband - are considered the greatest possible horror to these creatures, as it impedes their girlboss grindset of answering emails all day.
>Moreover, this is not even ideological, but genetic. The same Puritans that had their moral panics in early America about French Catholic villages engaging in "dancing," and would subsequently burn down your Catholic village if they suspected you of dancing. These same Puritans had kids, and their n-th great grandchildren inherited this moral mass movement psychology (progressive leftist doctrine), but they also probably inherited a gene-deep hatred of Catholicism.
>As an Italian-American, I just have to let you Protestants know - Yes, I am loyal to the Pope. Yes, I am going to replace your democracy with a hereditary Latin monarchy. Yes, I am going to force your daughters back in the home. Yes, I am going to criminalize homosexuality. Yes, you were right to fear me and burn down my villages. I will burn down your homo-democracy.

Based, I'm glad my Dad passed his Italian genes through a nordic women. They are spiritually repugnant individuals and should be destroyed
