yeah I haven’t personally looked into computer components on aliex but considering where they’re all made I’m sure there are good sellers with good stuff.

China is famous for cheaply produced junk. But most of the good stuff on the market these days is also made in China, and those factories are probably also on AliExpress. You have to do a lot of the same research you’d have to do with Amazon purchases (a lot of it is just the same stuff) but you can almost always find cheaper prices at AliEx.

Will you find a specific brand-name thing you’re looking for? No (unless it’s a Chinese or AliExpress-native brand, which is a thing these days). Will you find something in a product category that will probably solve the problem you’re having? Yeah, good chance (again, pretty much the same way that Amazon works now).

I’ve had good luck with: t-shirts, costume pieces, USB cables, audio cables, watches and watch accessories (bands, boxes, etc.), guitar pedals and other guitar accessories, sunglasses, photo accessories.

sorry it’s actually “the long and winding road”

exhibit A:

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear, I’ve seen that road before
It always leads me here, lead me to your door

the prosecution rests

Amazon is already just AliExpress with a middlebezos, I’m not sure what this realistically changes

hell AliEx can get stuff to me in Colombia faster than Amazon can these days

Koreatown

Korean Besatzungszone

uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied (far, far) West Korea from the genocidal American empire

useful for future space stations

only if they share it with the Chinese lol

not even strapped down?? in awe of superior communist road surfaces without potholes or bumps

they’re gonna crash this whole thing so hard they’ll make Liz Truss and Javier Milei look like fuckin’ amateurs

the death to America speedrun executive team just keeps stepping on the gas

love the crack team of toilet hands, dog killer, little marco, and apartheid pakled that is shaping up around trump

it’s more ‘death to america speedrun’ than I could have hoped for in my wildest dreams

attritional warfare is industrial warfare and Russia is massively outproducing the hilariously corrupt western military-industrial complex

the tide really started to turn in Russia’s favor when they started getting guided FAB (simple guidance kits strapped onto big cheap dumb bombs, like how the US JDAM works) in quantity. they can liquefy a Ukrainian position from a stand-off distance before moving into the rubble, and they have the productive capacity to do it all across the front. since that time any talk of it being a ‘stalemate war’ has been 100% western cope

polywerking

they call because the online inventory isn’t reliable, which is in fact pretty annoying? would you rather they came to find out in person?

these fuckers really gotta stop living to ripe old ages

in bad country, government services are riddled with corruption
