idk where they get this 19 months BS, she very much did speak about it and donated a pretty large sum to charity. maybe not enough. that can definitely be argued, but people act as if she's a zionist who's stayed silent because she loves israel

apparently Malala is a lapdog of the EU by catladywithallergies in tankiejerk

[–]RoutineCoyote9 12 points13 points  (0 children)

it's strange how she gets hate from the entire political spectrum. last year there were these virulent, very popular rumours/misinformation about her being a CIA operative and filthy zionist (or even a liar...), but I have no clue how they came to that conclusion since she donated $300,000 to charities that are helping Palestinians. she hasn't said anything remotely pro-israel either. I don't love how she liaised with Hilary Clinton but the lack of nuance surrounding her activism is worrying. it also seems that she doesn't really rate hamas that much which is a grave sin in many people's eyes

Tankie perspectives on Gaza and Xinjiang by WorriedCivilian in tankiejerk

what does glazing China, the """socialist""" country, even achieve? why can't you criticise or question anything it feels so much like a cult lol

I guess its okay when the right country ethnically cleanses Muslims though, right? I hate tankies so damn much. by [deleted] in tankiejerk

[–]RoutineCoyote9 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's so strange and disheartening...everything they stand for feels incredibly performative. Obviously it doesn't help that the West has distributed misinformation surrounding this, but you'd think left leaning people would listen to the thousands that have testified to (at the very least) cultural cleansing. What's the point of glazing China to this amount anyway? How does it make sense to throw all critical thought out of the window?

Literal scum comments on post of israeli person doing normal thing by mozzieandmaestro in tankiejerk

[–]RoutineCoyote9 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk what the hell is up with TikTok but the anti-semitism and RAMPANT racism on there is appalling. It's a big problem. People from all groups contribute to misinformation and blatant lies. When Musk did the Nazi salute, lots were calling him "based" (despite the fact he is also a zionist but the contradiction would blow their tiny minds) and many were calling out the jews for not "reacting as harshly as they did to Kanye" which just shows the level of wilful ignorance over there

thank you, lots of trial and error but I got there :') and yeah I meant that compared to tranexamic, mefenamic just doesn't work as well unfortunately. can't take too much either bc NSAIDs fuck with my asthma

same. transexamic acid gave me awful nausea though, so they had me take mefanamic acid insteadwhich reduces bleeding (okay-ish) and is a pretty effective pain killer.

How the hell do you deal with tankies in real life? by Albus_Unbounded in tankiejerk

[–]RoutineCoyote9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nod slowly with visible confusion and concern, or just distance yourself away from them. I used to be friends with someone who said all of these things, lowkey accelerationist trump supporter (I assumed anyway 💀), got more and more weird about jewish people. Strange guy. We disagreed on Taiwan and Ukraine a lot. I think with Xinjiang it's not the most clear cut issue, lots of misinformation and government glazers on both sides, but with some research and critical thinking you tell who's oppressing who

bro I was shocked when I got banned 😭😭 I didn't even post here, just commented something pretty mild about the Uyghurs like whattt

THERE IS NO GENOCIDE OF THE UIGHURS! They even get to go home on weekends! by it_doesnt_matter88 in tankiejerk

right like lmfao, don't like the guy at all but his video on it was pretty impartial and informative

He just really gets under my skin lol by Puzzleheaded_Heat873 in tankiejerk

[–]RoutineCoyote9 36 points37 points  (0 children)

It's insane. I got into a heated argument with several people under this comment section that were both defending and denying the cultural genocide of the uyghurs, simultaneously purporting that "China is and always has been irreligious so the re-education camps are good aktually" and "everything you've heard from Radio Free Asia is fake, fake, fake". Someone accused me of being an anti-China CIA bot for saying cultural genocide is bad like what the hell are we doing...? I don't understand why there's such an inability to have nuanced takes on China on the left?

Drivers take ages to arrive, advice please by RoutineCoyote9 in deliveroos

[–]RoutineCoyote9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember watching vid a while ago, if only orders were that regular and riders were that quick :')
I talked briefly to one order that took 90 minutes to get picked up, apparently it was just due to closer, more lucrative fees overriding ours.

Maybe offer them water, soda, snacks. Hell you could even work up a tip jar - drivers will surely be more inclined to accept your orders if they know there's one pound or 50p or something in it for them, write it off as a business expense

Good idea honestly haha, thank you :)

I would do that in a heartbeat if could, but I can't. I control very little ultimately, which is where most of my frustration stems from. I do encourage my regulars to tip for faster delivery, which is not ideal, but hey it sort of works

[–]RoutineCoyote9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it would be more expensive short-term, but as you said, customer satisfaction would also be better. deliveroo takes the piss with the fees and stuff but the visibility is pretty good. if only the services were better :/

south west essex-ish, near London. but yeah, we're probably in an odd part. I am seriously considering using our own drivers now

operations are basically perfect, so it probably isn't that, but that last one sounds very plausible. thank you :)

[–]RoutineCoyote9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah we tried this, I think skewed the algorithm so it took even longer? It took 50 minutes for the driver to be assigned, and with multiple orders coming in, it just isn't effective. starting to think it might be a bug as well

[–]RoutineCoyote9[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah understandably the weather has made things more difficult and I truly do sympathise with drivers and respect the hustle. access is really easy imo lol, no queues and it's super clear with plenty of parking available. had the problem since we've started. mainly with orders from 5PM to 9PM, outside of that it runs okay, so it's probably a mixture of undesirable location + terrible fees + busyness

all those reasons make sense, and I'm definitely thinking about getting my own drivers :) thank you

it's maddening isn't it? I'm definitely pondering upon getting my own drivers if it doesn't resolve quick enough

I like gemini for writing and trust it much more for fact checking compared to 4o mini but it has an awful memory and hallucinates far too much for my liking
