never did link my account to an email address. so that’s an email i never got. 🙂

been free for two or three years. i haven’t missed a thing, as far as i can tell.

wow, wtf. what a scam.

this is one reason why i have never had prime. not that i order much from amazon anyway (very rarely, in fact).

i think people think amazon is a lot more indispensable than it actually is.

also, my $15.99 plan went up to $18.99 in the last year or so anyway

probably there is a disclaimer of some sort, and people think they can handle it. but also, even people who worry they can’t may be desperate for a job.

i work with people who have experienced terrible things, but it’s a little easier to manage because i am hearing about it (only to the extent that people want to talk) and not seeing it, so i get a little psychological distance. my environment is very supportive and i’m hearing things sometimes, not watching it hundreds of times in a day. even then, people in my role are at decent risk of burnout.

like, you never know when you’re going to hear a thing that just gets to you.

doing what these mods do for hours and hours a week without support seems like a recipe for secondary trauma and burnout. edit - and yes, i’m pretty sure their environment amounts to “suck it up and keep going.”

the only problem i had when i was driving a small car (i drive a mid-size car now) was my sense of vulnerability when surrounded by stupid massive lifted trucks bearing down on me. it felt really unsafe. and i live in stupid-giant-truck land, they’re not an anomaly here.

eta - plus giant truck owners seem to get off on being scary aggressive drivers.
