you must live near a metropolis where you have multiple sources for products are already in your area because in many parts of the world amazon is supplying many things that are not sold even at local brick and mortars.

Jesus, they were just saying that they themselves don't miss it, not that no one should ever use it, no need for all the snarky sarcasm.

I will remind you the title of the post ‘it’s surprisingly easy to live’ - no. It isn’t. Representation matters. when people start speaking their experiences for application: Other experiences should count too. You don’t silence me just on unapproval or ‘not shared experiences’ alone. Stop the ableism.

I agree with you that those with disabilities and those in isolated areas rely on it, but you didn't reply to the post - you replied to that comment. I'm not being ableist, but pointing out that you replied to a person who was just stating that they themselves can live without it. The person you replied to wasn't being ableist either.

don’t tell me what to do. That’s all.

I never gave you a directive, just pointed out that there is no need for the snarky sarcasm.
