    I have to laugh at myself, I seem to vacillate from being over trusting to being extremely suspicious.. I do find it really weird that a joke would be thrown into a legal document of terms and conditions. Still doesn't make sense to me. Can you imagine buy a house and the legal work having something like that thrown in there. Logically, that would invalidate the whole document.
    With the world the way it is now, everything makes sense somehow

    It was a PR stunt back in 2016

    Quote That’s the wry bit of fun buried deep in the Terms and Conditions for Amazon’s Web-hosting service as it pertains to Lumberyard, the company’s newly-released video-game development software.
    Thanks Mashika!
    But you know, perhaps Amazon may want to rethink its idea of "humor" in light of the events occurring worldwide since 2020.
    I always felt like Amazon doesn't have a great idea of what is appropriate, or is in general in touch with people, the management people are totally disconnected from our reality

    Remember the "crying booths"?
