Your 2nd gig job is demolition cleanup

Massive work order, ppl working double shifts, pissing in bottles, clearing out all the Sacred Inventory after the drone strike, so the Oligarch lady can complain how many billions she's losing.

Tell me

Tell me you would never ever grab a couple high-end wristwatches, stuff 'em in your undies, and not worry about rent for a few months

that may be some of it. but there's also a lot of product on wb that was originally sourced from aliexpress to begin with.. and there's third-party merchants that sell their products on both platforms (and others, like ozon).

Even here in Canada Amazon random junk prices are 2-3x that exact same junk on Aliexpress.

TBF that's cuz you get next day delivery not 10 business days.

Also with Ali there's knockoffs of knockoffs you have to watch out for.

With Aliexpress, I expect cheap crap and I'm never disappointed. The key is to only shop for the kind of stuff where cheap crap is good enough.

[–] ZeroPoke@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

Sometimes you dont even get that. Ive noticed this alot more lately. But atleast its a good tell I can get it on Ali for cheaper.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly, I doubt that even 10% of products on WB are "original". It's all just flipping and dropshipping.

This is what happens when the media suppresses the coverage of the warehouse attacks and other negative news from the war, but the side effects still leak out and affect regular people's lives.

It's perfectly summed up by the girl who doesn't believe drone strikes could burn down a whole warehouse, which seems ridiculous because we've seen videos of it happening 20-some times in the last few weeks, but it's a completely logical conclusion to make if she's gotten vague news reports and an email telling her that she's now bankrupt. Same thing happened with the fuel crisis when people assumed the shortage was made up by someone making money off them.

Why is there censored text on this video? It makes me feel like something is being hidden with interpretation

[–] LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If there's a translation mistake, feel free to correct me.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you for your translation work. I want to make it clear that I don't think you're doing anything malicious, but I'm getting alarm bells from the censored text about a war.

I don't understand Russian, my issue is that I feel like I'm being influenced via my ignorance. The censored text gives the impression that the original caption was substituted for a caption that means something different.

Each of the videos had their own subtitle style, so my guess it that the person that compiled the videos wanted consistency.
