Presenting opinions as facts irks me. But when something is clearly an opinion do we have to state it as so? I'm fucked If I'm going to add "...in my opinion" every time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with just saying "I'm not really into that, but it's nice you're passionate about something"? Why do folk go out of their way to let everyone know how much they hate it? Why can't we all just get along? ...and therefore ending this thread! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fucked If I'm going to add "...in my opinion" every time. Obviously context is important and sometimes we're clearly expressing our opinions, but I also think that ownership is important too. It is only three words, and if it's that much of an issue then perhaps your expressing your opinion a bit too often and could do with developing a more open mind . In my experience people expressing their opinions as facts tend to be doing so to take control of the framing of a particular issue. In my opinion, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 I've posted here before about amazon's consistent failure to deliver correct or undamaged books. I stopped using them because of that but relapsed after being tricked into signing up for a trial of prime.This is what I was sent today. Raging. My own fault for misplaced faith. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Contact them and demand a replacement.I've done that, but it's a pain in the arse going out of my way to send it back and then wait the extra time to receive the replacement.Probably one in three of the books I've ordered from amazon the last few years have been damaged or incorrect. I've had very few issues with other providers. It's strange to think that the thing they started off doing twenty years ago is now what the do the worst. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
