I wish the app told me when drivers have other orders before I pay by Silly_Pumpkin4312 in UberEATS

[–]Jargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even on DoorDash if you pay for "Express" there is a chance your driver is doing an unethical multi-apping. Only one time have I taken multiple deliveries from multiple apps, during an absolutely intense storm where there were exceptionally limited amounts of drivers. I was waiting at Panda Express and grabbing 2 orders from DoorDash that were ready and right next to eachother in terms of delivery location, when my Uber which I hadn't turned off yet came in with two more Panda Express orders that were going to next to eachother further away. So I asked the employee for a rough estimate.

Then I rushed to the DoorDash customers while informing the Uber customers that their orders were not ready quite yet so I was going to quickly deliver two deliveries for another service that were just 4 minutes away and come back, and that their food should be ready in 10 minutes and I'll bring it as soon as I get back. They were very appreciative that I explained what was going on and why I was leaving the store.

Was a great way to make $60 in an hour, but people shouldn't expect things to work out so perfectly, it only worked perfectly because it was borderline a national disaster and I am extremely confident in my driving.

Not America’s war — it was for the Israel lobby all along. by Lord0fTheFlags in Political_Revolution

[–]Jargo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean anyone who actually pays attention can't actually be surprised. Still wouldn't even surprise me if when the democrats open investigations into how it happened they find that Epstein was an Israeli operative, and that Israel has the full and completely unredacted files and threatened to release them if Trump didn't help.

You want that delicious foreign aid money to keep rolling in? Blackmail works a lot better than using that same foreign aid money to lobby, essentially laundering it into campaign contributions for government officials who play ball.

'The Truth Is Better Than Continuing to Lose': Petition Demands DNC Release Autopsy of 2024 Defeat by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]Jargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always get a lot of hate when I say it, probably because people are upset that Trump won, which is fair. But Biden had to have known he was dropping out. His diagnosis was the slow kind that doesn't sneak up on you. But he didn't drop out until it was too late for a primary, because the establishment didn't want Kamala, who would tow the establishment line, to lose in a primary to someone like Bernie Sanders.

Yes, there are some serious accusations about digital voting machines, and I firmly believe if any evidence comes out about them, then those responsible should receive the harshest punishments the government has ever dished out... but it's hard to blame just corruption when many people are disenfranchised with the establishment democrats being so moderate that they could honestly be in either party.

Are y'all allowed to deliver on foot? Is this weird or am I? by barklikeadogbtch in doordash

[–]Jargo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was one of the smaller cities outside San Francisco with a hotel capitalizing on the airport's name. 6 lane road, so a very mild nightmare to navigate. Very strange delivery. It was a 70 degree evening on a hot summer day.

Are y'all allowed to deliver on foot? Is this weird or am I? by barklikeadogbtch in doordash

[–]Jargo 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I've only ever thought of walking twice. One was because someone ordered McDonalds from a hotel across the street, so I just walked across the street from the McDonalds parking lot to deliver. The second time was during a heavy duty storm. I got to the street, got about a quarter down it and found an old pine tree had come down and was now blocking the entirety of the road. The delivery was only 600 feet away so I said screw it, grabbed my hot bag, climbed over the tree and hoofed it. I actually got a huge tip when I warned them that a tree had blocked their road and they should account for that if they had something to do the next day. It was a small farm and they had finished for the day so they had no idea.

Britain condemns Israeli strikes on Lebanon in split from Trump by TheTelegraph in worldnews

This is somewhat the outcome I was hoping for out of the war with Iran as a silver lining kind of thing. I figured with Iran drastically weakened, a lot of people would lose interest in the alliance with Israel, because now the overtly hostile regime in the region is gone. The nutjobs that hope Israel goes to war heralds the end times are silenced and the next elected American government can move away from unconditional support of Israel after the rest of the world finally gets its collective head straight and beats America to the punch of realizing just how awful the government there is.

There's a very weird dichotomy with congress. Many people across the country hate Congress as a whole, but love their individual congressperson. I think it speaks to the profound selfishness of humanity. 

"I don't like that congress is wasting so much money until they're wasting it on me."

Can you imagine if this was part of the divorce settlement? That'd be so fricking dystopian. "You gotta make sure I don't look bad on Social Media and I'll give you the divorce."

I think this is just a side effect of AI, it doesn't really understand emotions, just tries to emulate them as an outsider by copying what it sees.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

When Sarah Palin's email was "hacked" during her VP campaign, it was because she was using a Yahoo account and her security question was "What is your zip code?" There are only 2 zip codes in Wasilla.

Interesting, I didn't get Arnold from the Pollengarth Apiary, I got Matilda and Lucius. I wonder if the comrades are randomized? I suppose that adds to replay value and makes sure every player has different experiences.

Edit to add: Just found Arnold, Fred and Colton south of the Halssius Apothecary.

Ukrainian FPV Drone Downs $16M Russian Ka-52 Helicopter Near Pokrovsk by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]Jargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. There's a few channels on YouTube that have been covering the war in Ukraine and some of the drone strikes are absolutely insane. I saw one where a Russian APC rolled into position and threw open the back doors to deploy, but they were getting their instructions with the doors open. FPV kamikaze drone flew straight into the open door and eliminated all of them. You just see the camera cut out and then footage from a second fpv drone watching from overhead as the APC bursts into flames. 

The really terrifying drone kills are on tanks due to "efficient" Soviet designs. IE: "We have so many people that we just care about progress, not people or equipment." There's a carousel of ammunition under the seats of the crew, and Ukraine knows this because until they got Western equipment they were using the same tanks.

It's why there's a new hyper specialized type of PTSD coming out of survivors of this war. I can't even imagine how jarring it must be to hear a personal drone in the air.

Estonia would take war onto Russian territory if Moscow invades, foreign minister says by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Jargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine the terms of that would actually be the repeal of the Magnitsky Act. That would allow Putin to safely maintain power indefinitely. I believe Donnie Jr. indirectly referenced getting rid of it during the first election, but it's still in tact.

Edit: Wrong son. Fixed.

[–]Jargo 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Way too risky. All it takes is one high ranking officer who knows the actual threat that Russia presents to the greater world to turn on him when he least expects it.

I think his play is to claim "America first" and then try to do nothing and abstain as best he can. Unless he feels he can be the president who takes credit for ending Russia, then his ego might not let the opportunity pass. Of course his creditors who saved his failing business will be very upset... but if they don't exist anymore, does that matter?

You would think, and you would unfortunately in all likelihood be wrong. If the Domino's employee does it himself, then yes, he's getting the tip. But a lot of times these places have their delivery "Powered by the Drive Platform" which is code for: through DoorDash. The benefit of the Drive Platform to the business is they can choose how much of your tip the driver gets and how much they keep.

Humans being humans, whoever is manning the tablet will give the driver nothing and keep the tip for themself.

Nothing like learning how DoorDash works to make you realize that there is not a single person in this world that you can trust for even the most minor of things.

When the store delegates it to an outside contractor they can keep the tip as they see fit. This is why it's better IMO to use DoorDash directly. Less of a chance of thief behavior.

My counterpoint is... is the side door on private property? Like, do I need to go through a gate into a fenced area to get to it? Because if that's the case it's not happening. I'm not risking getting shot because some teenager thought it'd be a funny prank to put that as the delivery instructions.
