I'm not salty

I did use my goodboy points, so I paid slightly less than that too

yeah I ran out of mine, apparently if you review the app and tell them you did it they sometimes give you 500 points free

I might try that

oh, app

if you sell your soul*

hey, 500 points is $10 off, no bad

right? I got mixed up with Banggood

50 points = $1

How do you guys resist buying chink phones when your pay check arrives

already have a chink phone

i bought an op3t once, hard to beat that now

also left my job so i don't get paychecks anymore

tbh I've bought almost everything chinky I'd ever want so I just look around charity shops or on ebay/gumtree now

should i buy eachine ev100 beginner to quadcopter just bought my first racing drone

or get something better like aomways

i'm noob

do u buy stuff from these sites cause it's cheaper AND better or mostly cause cheaper?

i can't imagine most being better than idk an Amazon alternative

Amazon mostly sells rebadged chink shit now

often times the "amazon" alternative is chink shit anyway

as comfy said

it's cheaper and often of good/acceptable quality

especially when I first got into it, I'd never have been able to do certain things affordably without chink shit

and some goods are hard to get anywhere else

^

like what things

>tfw looking for alternative brands of yak jerky is futile

i imagine some specific hardware things are just way better from like AliExpress or whatever than Amazon but like what

hi-fi stuff I see often

but are phones good too? like idk i have an s7 edge right now, are there alternatives as good/better than the s8/s8 plus right now?

it let me start a youtube channel and get equipment way better than I could afford locally

the mi6 beats the S8 in most tests from what I've seen

my rule is, if I can wait 3 weeks for it then I get it from China, if it's urgent I get it locally/Amazon

@refinery for example: try and find a better/cheaper duck roaster

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Best-quality-Commercial-GAS-duck-roaster-Chicken-furnace-Oven-roasted-beef-jerky-very-delicious/32271511508.html

idk how much those things are supposed to cost

unironically

i dont either, but they are probably more than that locally

i trust the chinks in that regard
