Beware confirmation bias, one bad review a bad choice does not make.

Reply to LPT: turn off "auto display images" in your email to stop hidden read receipt trackers by flutterbyasaurus
This is a big deal in certain industries. I work in Legal, and trackers sent to attorneys and forwarded to clients and insurance companies often reveal key patterns like an intent to settle. Knowing what patterns to look for can make trackers a big deal and cause all sorts of ethical issues.

Reply to LPT: Flying Southwest Airlines, always go straight to the very back of the plane. Even if you’re C group boarding, you’ll probably get a decent seat. by [deleted]
Forgot to check in on time and ended up with C59. Standing in line as the C 1 through 30 boarded, turned to the guy behind me and said, “Looser”. He cracked up.

Reply to comment by willingzenith in LPT: When shopping on Amazon, look at the reviews and Always sort by most recent. It will be more accurate to the product and you won't get influenced by tons of fake 5 Star reviews by [deleted]
Less common. Typically 5 star reviews are bought in bunches, usually to kick-start the popularity and credibility of something. If the reviews have been suffering lately, then more might be bought though, and you might catch it at that time.

Or just use MS Outlook with default settings.

Amazon has also hacked up the "sponsored" offerings so when you search, the first few listing are paid ads followed by 3 or 4 real results and then more paid results. Watch out for "sponsored" when searching.
It amazes me how a product than have 71% 5 star ratings and 5% 1 star ratings and yet still be a 4.5 star product overall. Shows you they skew it to sell more stuff.

“Old beat up” need not apply to a mid 2000s vehicle. I bought a 2006 Toyota in 2015 for $6k and it’s still looking just fine and is not beat up or rusty.

Reply to LPT: want to learn a new language, but have no money? Check out your local university library by cuevadanos
If they are reading this LPT then they have the internet and it would be a massive waste of time to go to a library instead of using the infinitely more powerful resource that they are already using.
Libraries are useful for people who can't afford the internet. For everyone else they are redundant when it comes to training new skills.

Funny, I just look at the 3-star reviews. 1s have a chip on their shoulder, and 5s are mostly fake. 3s have a nice mix of pros and cons.

I was with you, couldn't figure out why this is a problem. But then I'm tall and have a queen size bed so it's pretty easy for me to figure out which is the short end. Haven't had a king in a long time so I can't even remember

I love horror/thrillers. But that one is just disturbing on so many levels. I was not expecting it. It wasn't bad, I just would have liked a warning. And it wasn't the gore. I have seen far worse gore on Walking Dead.
