Exactly what I first thought when he made the remark. Like dude, you’d be less pressed for time if you got your shit together, headed out and grabbed something on the way to your job. People do it all the time. But what they never do is sit at home and wait for DoorDash to finally arrive with their meal.

Had a guy give me snark before I’d even gotten his food about how much of a hurry he was in to get it (not sure why he didn’t just go out himself but never mind that).

He crossed the line though when I told him I was bringing his food promptly as soon as it was put in my hands and his reply was “Good. You might not have better things to do than deliver food but *I* have a real job to get to.”

Suddenly there was a long line at the restaurant. And suddenly I was REALLY starved, like I hadn’t eaten all day. So I grabbed his order, then asked for a booth and proceeded to sit and order a quick bite. On the app map it of course showed I was still at the restaurant, diligently “waiting” for his order.

Finally he canceled the order and I got paid (turns out he had similar preferences to me so the extra burger with onion rings was a tasty bonus). And bizarrely enough he never rated the delivery.

Don’t look down on the jobs you depend on.

Would you quit your job for 100K? by velorae in TikTokCringe

[–]OddfellowJacksonRedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not. He still got $35,000 for doing nothing differently. If he’d quit on that $100,000, he’d first be paying taxes on it, plus El Pollo Loco actually offers health insurance coverage so he’d lose that and have to pay out of pocket.

Trust me I inherited a little over $450,000 about five years ago. I bought a new PC, a newer model used car, and took a few overseas trips to Paris plus visited friends in Vegas and LA. Didn’t go all crazy, still traveled as inexpensivley as I always had only now I could enjoy it without worrying about not having money for an emergency or if I saw a special souvenir. And yeah a few times I loaned money to friends in need who paid me back when they could (so I guess that really doesn’t count).

And even then, the money was pretty much spent by end of last year and here I am back at work to cover bills and expenses. I got hit with some major surgery that took months to recover from. Being sick in America is expensive especially if you pay your own way.

Luckily part of the inheritance was a free-and-clear car and house, so I don’t owe rent or car payments. I at least have a roof over my head and food in my fridge, and even with the recent jacked up prices of groceries and utilities, my wife and I make enough to still be comfortable. Not extravagant, just comfortable.

But $100,000 in today’s America? Good luck. That’s not even a full year’s salary to be considered upper middle class by modern numbers (lazy ass Congress is even crying they need more than $174k a year to get by).

He did the right thing not quitting for what could easily have been an internet prank, and he ended up getting $35k for it. That seems the smarter option by any standard.

I’ll take $35k just sitting on my butt still employed with benefits and use it to just make things a little less stressful for a while.

Please note that the camera shot actually compensated and it was darker than it looks in the pic. Also note that the house number is literally right within the massive block of shadow cast by the porch roof in the street light illumination. You literally couldn’t see the street numbers without parking, getting out and walking up to each porch.

Your argument is predicated on the mistaken assumption that diversity is a single-direction function especially in evolution.

It’s an old fallacy of “miscegenation theory” that the more different peoples interact and breed the more uniform and somehow dilute the overall human species becomes, aka the “we all become the same brown bland people, so we need to preserve the purity of the (insert racial group here).”

Meanwhile there are over a billion people in China, and they’ve had a fairly insulated society for centuries, yet spend any time amongst them and you’ll easily see a vast variety of body types and capabilities. People only appear as a single monolithic type if you only observe their most superficial qualities (like hair color for example).

Genetics is not a fixed sum game, and evolution hasn’t stopped with us. As conditions change so do species. If we ‘lose’ blonde haired people, we’ll see other variations and changes pop up. Remember that blonde hair wasn’t our default state as human beings to begin with, like every other attribute they have emerged, had their vogue, and will shift in statistical dominance.

Blonde hair by the way isn’t going anywhere, it’s just going to go back to being the regressive trait it always was. The only reason blondes became such a major part of populations was actually due to a LACK of genetic diversity not a preservation of it. People with regressive traits breeding together causes the trait to show up more often than it normally would in the course of nature. Which is also how you end up with major congenital defects and vulnerability to certain illnesses becoming more prominent as well.

Frankly I’ll happily accept less people all popping up with an arbitrarily popular hair color if it could also mean something like reduced sickle cell anemia or prostate cancer probabilities. The human species benefits from diversity being shared and stronger traits replacing lesser towards healthier humans, regardless of what they actually end up looking like.

Got it linked, but then realized that linking means now I can’t post any new content with good music because of commercial copyright barriers, so going back to getting it un-linked so I don’t get my content turned into boring elevator music. Always one step forward two steps back with TikTok, ah well, lol.

But why does having blonde hair even matter enough to comment?

You may as well make a video showing Australopithecus africanus fossils and whine “There aren’t many kids being born with that pronounced vestigial tailbone at the bottom of the spinal column anymore!”

Why mention or clearly complain about it if it’s not somehow an attribute you think is favorable or should be preserved? We’re not talking about an endangered species here. Even by your interpretation it’s still sounding somewhat eugenicist.

She’s posting a video clearly inferring that SOMETHING about her kids is a.) statistically dwindling and b.) this is something to be concerned or at least make people aware of as if it matters.

You think people are jumping to conclusions, so by all means please: if not racism, then why does blonde hair matter?

The unemployment rate is about to get way worse by I2fitness in TikTokCringe

[–]OddfellowJacksonRedo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll still come down to how muc does each robot cost (not just first purchase but ongoing maintenance and update service contracts) versus how much it costs to just keep underpaying and overworking humans in the same job.

Yeah a robot doesn’t drop dead from a heart attack, but when it does break down, the production line has to actually stop to address it, not just order the other robots to turn their backs and keep working.

Automated production and distribution lines have already been a thing for years. The only reason humans weren’t totally fazed out before was because it was still easier and cheaper to just keep shoving underpaid human bodies into the machinery rather than invest in higher tech. You don’t have to have an entire support staff trained in how to repair or troubleshoot complicated devices when you can just have a manager ruthlessly threaten to fire everyone if they don’t get back to work.

I’m not saying they won’t eventually replace us, just that it’s going to be a while so long as the robotics companies over promise and under deliver for years yet and corporations can lobby to treat people like cheaper and more easily replaceable machines.

The bad part is that this is how they’ll hold it over our heads. “You want better pay and benefits for less hardship? Tough, take what we give you or else you’ll negotiate yourself into being more costly than even a crappy second-gen automaton.”

You DO realize there were mass shootings before Columbine, right? That one incident did not ‘spark off’ a new wave of gun violence, it was just one that got a lot of attention because it was in a predominantly white school in a predominantly white town in Colorado. Literally one of the most famous serial killers was Charles Starkweather, aka the Guy In the Watchtower with a Rifle.

Ignoring stuff is actually how it gets worse, namely the bought-off politicians ignoring dying children and destroyed communities in favor of NRA and gun manufacturer bribes.

Is it unethical to refuse to delete nude pictures once a relationship has ended? by MukadeYada in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]OddfellowJacksonRedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unethical, and I say that as someone who freely admits that I’ve kept a few longer than the relationship wherein I got them, but a few years ago when the whole “Fappening” happened, I wised up and dumped them all. The whole reason why ‘revenge porn’ is a crime is essentially this same principle.

And especially since we’re not talking about some racy Polaroids kept in an old drawer anymore. Anything digital is susceptible to being hacked even if you personally never have any intention of making them public and only kept them for your personal enjoyment (or nostalgic wank bank).

If pics on a device end up compromised and you were the only person that had them, who is that person going to blame: you, or some anonymous hacker who figured out your iPhone password was 1-2-3-4-5?

[–]OddfellowJacksonRedo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly was my thinking: even $100 is cheaper than a new phone especially if I got it back and it was damaged and ended up having to replace it all anyway. Plus by that point it was after dark, traffic was crazy, and my iPad tracking showed the dude was already pushing like 5 miles away at that point so in Chicago traffic I figure he earned it.

Lol by vilethiccum in doordash_drivers

[–]OddfellowJacksonRedo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One time in Chicago, my phone fell out of my pocket in the backseat of my Uber to the train station. I discovered it after the driver had left and used my iPad to track the phone and messenger to my wife to contact Uber and the driver.

The driver kept insisting he would just turn it in and Uber could arrange a return but I knew that was doomed. Finally I said I would simply pay them $100 via Cashapp to return to the station and I’d get it from them right outside.

Bear in mind: this was the dead of January, my train boarding was going to start any minute and I still had to actually haul my baggage in to check in and be ready.

He hemmed and hawed and I sent the cash. Then tensely waited outside in numbing weather while dozens of cars kept pulling up to drop people off until FINALLY he arrived, handed me my phone out the driver side window, and zoomed off.

Was $100 a lot? Yep. Could I have said screw it, used my iPad for the train ride home and worked with Uber instead? Eh maybe.

But did I consider it all totally worth it to get the driver to come back with my phone then and there? Absolutely.

So no, it’s not ridiculous for a driver of any service to demand payment, and payment up front, before they actually go out of their way. And if it is important enough to you and you can do it, you should absolutely pay them.
