"unbiased" Amazon reviews
Jul. 29th, 2016 05:13 pmRemember when you could read an Amazon review and it was from a real person? I don't think I've hit a product yet that doesn't have a billion super positive reviews - all from people who managed to get the product for a discount or for free.
Call me a cynic, but I can't be 100% sure they're being honest and they're not just saying what their free product overlords want them to say. The difference between "OMG, this is the best product ever!! I have to tell you I got it for a discount in exchange for my review, but I didn't get paid, so that has nothing to do with my absolute lovity love for this thing!" and "It was just okay." is pretty stark, and that's how they usually go.
All I want to know is if this hose leaks or not, people, can I do it without having to sift through the copious number of bought and paid for reviews?
Also, drove to the city for my (late) dental exam. It was warm enough my car got to 101F by the time I got out. No thanks! I will take "it's a heatwave at 70" coastal life. On the way home, I got stuck behind a slowpoke. Like, seriously slow. We came to the passing lane zone and zip! There he went! I almost caught up (hey, Trix only has 4 cylinders), but couldn't squeak by him. Immediately after the passing zone ended he slowed down to, and I kid you not, 44 MPH. MOTHERPLUCKER!!
