I can’t tell if these are meant as messages or just observations

Edit: I had not considered the third possibility: shitposts

I suppose this makes sense, since 3rd party delivery opened up delivery options that couldn’t/wouldn’t provide delivery on their own—because before you could get anything delivered, it didn’t seem like a realistic or necessary service line. Now that we’ve seen how quickly 3rd party goes to shit and how important delivery actually is, the dream would be for some restaurant chain to evolve its own delivery service and use their size to gain traction, somehow slowing down the 3rd parties enough to allow smaller restaurants to slide in with their own private or cooperative delivery. And a dream it shall remain…

Surprisingly, that’s not the case! Violence is the answer something like 25% of the time, nonviolence like 50% of the time, and I guess the rest of the time the answer is to sit there and take it (source: Harvard research by Erica Chenowith). I bet the stats are very different for rugby though

What does fix it?

Freddie is the source. He described himself as bisexual and had relationships with both men and women. The world, however, continues to debate it.

That sounds like it probably has a lot to do with your problem! Does it happen regardless of how you drink? Straw, cup, bottle, etc.?

This is a great start. You can even fill a glass before bed so it’s waiting on your nightstand when you open your eyes, like sizzling bacon on a bedroom Foreman grill.

(This should be fine as long as you’re not immunocompromised, in which case you may need to stick to temperature-controlled water.)

That’s such a widely accepted and familiar way of expressing this that I can’t even see the poor and bad parts. What do you mean?

You’re right, but also, why did someone use AI to make this image look worse??

Looking closer at the plant and random background object (door? cabinet? bulletin board?) it seems you’re probably right, well spotted :(

That’s the line they feed us, for sure. But if you ever actually added up federal income tax, state income tax, state and local sales tax, Social Security tax, property tax and assorted taxes for any instance in which you might come into additional money (capital gains, interest, prize winnings, inheritance, etc. etc. etc.) most Americans would probably be shocked to learn what real percentage of our income we actually pay to the government.

I wonder what that kind of quick response from Uber ends up costing restaurants and drivers in the long run. There are fraudulent claims to consider, but even when real mistakes are made, Uber has no way of knowing whether the order was complete when it was picked up. Probably makes it hard for restaurants to troubleshoot if there’s been a real error, because they don’t know that driver, so they can assume the driver is at fault and move on. I wonder jf Uber takes the refund out of its own slice or punishes both the restaurant and the driver?

(This is in no way about you and your refund, I’m just interested in how the policy ultimately affects quality in restaurant delivery.)

Isn’t that because of customers choosing to rely on third party apps instead of taking advantage of local delivery? This seems like it requires a conscious resistance on our part. If everyone keeps doordashing everything, local restaurants have no choice but to get on board, fire their drivers, and let us pay more for app delivery via underpaid gig workers.

1947 was a long time ago, so I think they consider themselves Pakistani.

And the “conservatives” are liberal as hell. The only thing they “conserve” is value for the ultra rich and some cherry-picked Biblical social order. Restrictions on capitalism? Let freedom ring.

Where I live, the libraries have regular sales, but then also the whole library system together will have semiannual book sales at the civic center. Everything is cheap to begin with but then on the last day, you can fill a box for $10 or $20—and the box can be as big as you like, as long as you can get it out of the building. They really need to get rid of the books. You should check with your library and see how they get rid of their culled books.

Yup but they aren’t profitable so we can’t have them

Unfortunately that’s not an option for most people living in the US
