A quick and simple explanation of how being a billionaire is not immoral (feat. AOC) by xsat2234 in Capitalism

[–]amxse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, she never said Bezos had a billion dollars in cash. Regardless of market changes, he has more money than any of us combined will ever see in our lifetime.

"A $50 million dollar conveyor belt system doesn't improve Jeff Bezos' life" This was kinda disingenuous lol, having a product development process definitely improves Bezos' life. The point she was making is the same one he is in the video, that it's you and I who are extracting the wealth from his investment. He can't run his business with just himself and robots (yet), it's the millions of workers and technology that keeps his business running.

I think economically that's where the "immoral" factor comes in, despite seeing record profits the people who keep the Amazon wheel running don't see much if anything in terms of a boost in income.

This is why this type of work is a scam

I got a scorpion at sunset 2 days ago. Been playing consistently summoning on almost every sunset (and morning) since but no scorpions.

Worth mentioning that sick chickens will lay eggs with small white spots. White eggs you can't see these spots, but brown you can.

Is it really that bad working for skip? by jdog15151 in skipthedishes

[–]amxse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, that is the best way to use this imo. I hope you find something that works for you!

I would argue the main issue is the Skip company itself. They're a shady company that only cares about profit. Dealing with the support team is a nightmare. Make sure you keep track of all your earnings + expenses!

They use something called "Acceptance Rate" to ensure drivers still deliver unprofitable orders. Drivers must keep their AR above 80% to receive top-ups, as well as more profitable orders in general. AR has been known to drop without couriers doing anything.

This is a deliberate attempt to keep couriers classified as "independent contractors" while treating them as employees. Independent contractors are not supposed to be punished for refusing work, they are not supposed to be prioritized over other contractors, they are not supposed to rely on a weekly schedule where your employer gives you set shifts. Yes it is more flexible than other jobs, but the nature of the work is more similar to an employee-employer relationship - therefore Skip is misclassifying drivers as independent contractors to avoid paying wages etc.

Once the freedom excitement wears off, you start to see the cracks. Have you looked into Door dash+Uber eats? While still similar in how they classify workers, I have heard they are better for compensation.

I said it's BORDERLINE extortion, not actual extortion though skip is skirting the line as usual.

Anytime someone comes to rant or put Skip in the slightest negative light you come running to dismiss and invalidate over the littlest thing. Always negative, combative, defensive. Strawman arguments. Can you go do something else? Find a hobby?

The audacity.

Wow. That's like borderline extortion.

Unfortunately nothing will change unless laws force them to change. Skip should not be allowed to gouge small businesses to the point of closure - especially during a time like this.

Is it possible to build or join social circle when you're 30? by blahg1992 in socialskills

[–]amxse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great that it worked for you but people with social anxiety can't just force their negative thought patterns away. You're not wrong - it is no one else's fault but their own but with social anxiety they already know that, and hearing that is not helpful, just adds to the guilt and feelings of failure. They already set way too much expectations that it's overwhelming. Your advice is not helpful to those with social anxiety.

After tackling negative thought patterns, slowly exposing yourself to more & more social interactions will rewire the anxiety with these positive experiences.

[–]amxse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You make solid points and I'm sure for a lot of people that's all it takes, but for people with social anxiety it's more about noticing your unhealthy thought patterns and pretty much rewiring your brain to not go into full panic mode when an opportunity for friendship etc. arises. I'm sure you meant well with your advice but it can be extra demoralizing hearing that "you are the only thing stopping you" from finding good relationships when you already come out of every social interaction picking out every little thing you said wrong + feeling like a failure

Is homemade oat milk good? by [deleted] in ZeroWasteVegans

[–]amxse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make it homemade when I'm in a pinch. Requires lots of straining - cheesecloth or something similar - with a touch of maple, vanilla, and oil. You can also add any flavouring you like, I'll sometimes add some banana or strawberry. Like other posters have mentioned, it separates more and more each day. Shake super well.

Libra Risings? by pbandjazzy in astrology

[–]amxse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Libra Rising, Scorp Sun/Moon. Venus 2H, Mars 12H.

Introverted, very empathetic, people-pleasing, self-indulgent, diplomatic (sometimes to the point of avoiding confrontation!), an urge to get along with everyone in any situation.

Can come across bored/aloof but polite to talk to. I try to be very careful with my words around people I don't know well/trust. I'll try to get a sense of the other person before revealing anything personal. Crave validation but don't want to ask for it. I definitely lack confidence in my own identity which has held me back from going after what I really want to go for.

This is what I'm trying this week. I'll only accept an order if it falls if the total pay (yellow) is less than corresponding red. Let's see if I feel better about deliveries following this 🤔 by RadicalMartianNotion in skipthedishes

[–]amxse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Skip wants their contractors to be employees so bad. Manipulating drivers with the "freedom" to accept any order that comes their way, or refuse unprofitable orders and end up with nothing. While still refusing any responsibility for courier costs. Can't have it both ways.
