go away
For me it’s just the character limit.
I like reddit because people could write in paragraphs. Twitter never had any appeal to me because it could never be more than slogan-slinging and when i briefly used it it just seemed utterly stupid to be limited to like 10 words.
he’s a comedian. not a politician.
Depends on the university. Some of them are still like that, some of them are totally ideologically captured such that they have encoded being anti-free speech into their conduct codes, and/or they simple would not want to deal with the fallout of bad actors would/could do to their servers.
A lot of university’s slide towards authoritarian centralizing of power post COVID along with internalizing their student bodies. Sadly. They themselves aren’t the bastions of freedom and truth they once were, because those things don’t make the bottom line go up. Many also closed off spaces and programs that were previous open to the public to further isolate themselves from the rest of the world. MIT had libraries and other facilities anyone could use, and now they shut them all off from public access post COVID.
i have no issues with delivery app service. it works fantastic for me. i’ve placed 100s of orders.
cool. i live in a house and they leave it on my porch and it’s great. I’d rather not waste an hour of my day to pick up food, that’s not very convenient. it’s pretty convenient to toss it in the oven for 5m to heat it up after it’s delivered though.
in the 90s and 2000s delivery didn’t exist for me. I grew up in a poor rural area we ate out like once every 3-4 months usually during a major shopping trip or family event. so i guess i never had the privilege of any of what you are talking about where restaurants would deliver food.
I only started using food delivery during the pandemic because it was the only way to eat out at the time.
good for your sister. my experience using food apps has been nothing but positive. on rare occasion something is missing and i report it and i get refunded.
also i think anyone who expects delivered food to be hot and ready to eat is entitled AF. you should expect to re-heat anything that takes more than 5 minutes to deliver, which would be most anything unless you’re like 5 blocks from the restaurant.
i don’t know what universe people are living in where their take out doesn’t have to be re-heated. mine always does. the only food that i don’t have to re-heat is when i’m in the restaurant. my burritos that i walk to to get take out are always cold when I get home less it’s like 80 degrees out.
I don’t want to interact with delivery people. I want them to leave my food on the porch.
yeah same. i used it a lot when i’m sick or injured.
but there are people who over-use it. I had a roommate 5 years ago who made about 40K a year, who was spending $500 a month in delivery food… and another $200 in delivery weed. And he talked a lot about how broke he was… this was a guy who also drove to work when his workplace was 10m walk away.
because it’s convenient and time is more valuable to them than money.
the extra 10 bucks for delivery via app saves me 30-45m of my own personal time.
that’s not true.
the delivery and tip is usually about 20-30% of the cost, the same as you’d pay in a sit down restaurant.
when i order from places, my bill is the same pretty much as it would be if I went there and sat down to eat.
i love these replies saying every order is $50 or something… these people have never used a delivery app. vast majority of my orders it’s a 5 bucks in fees and a 5 buck tip on a 25 dollar food order. most of my orders are 30-35 dollars.
That tracks. You pissed off someone who had a connection with a mod and/or admin. Been there!
I got banned once for dunking on IG travel trends and the mod involved was dumb enough to PM me threatening me.
It’s just pathetic how emotional and over reactive people saying crap on the internet they don’t like. I don’t agree with a lot of stuff but I see no reason to censor people for enjoying musicals or whatever else I hate.
right, and if it doesn’t happen to you it happens to nobdoy else right?
literally any game that requires a GPU for me. across several PCs. I am too old to waste time with that shit anymore. Console gaming is way better for me, it just works.
and if PC gaming was so ‘cheap’ y’all wouldn’t be screaming and crying on here everyday about component prices going up
i was trying to game on my pc a few months ago and just gave up due to the constant crashes on top of hours of wasted time trying to ‘resolve the issue’.
you can keep telling me how stupid and wrong i am, but my experience of PC gaming is it’s the same as it was in the 90s. the only games i don’t have tehcnical issues with are the indie ones, that don’t even need gpu to run.
my ps5… just works. everytime.
You need a standing desk that way can be a standup whatever
what were they to her then? government tracking chips?
because pc gaming is a huge pain in the ass.
console gaming is not.
some of us just want to play games. we don’t care about 120 fps bragging rights or spending hours resolving driver issues. console is superior experience for that.
doesn’t matter where you live, the people living in hell will force it down your throat because they want everyone else to be as miserable as they are.
yeah but more pictures of cats and dogs.
And that’s why California is considered ‘anti business’.
Driving everywhere and not walking makes you obese.
Using AI and never using your brain makes you stupid.
For people who are used to driving everywhere, and people who use AI all the time, they think walking/thinking is an impossible task that’s only done by superhumans.
I mean, I’m not a teacher, but I’ve seen a massive decline in people’s basic cognitive abilities and social skills the past 5 years in particular. I used to be able to get along and have a conversation with a relative stranger for alike an hour or two. Now they check out after 10 minutes and can’t seem to have a stained conversation about anything without rapidly switching topics, or just flying into an ignorance rage/rant about something they clearly know nothing about. I’ve also seen a massive uptick in straight up hostility toward me for reading paper books and using paper and pen…
the thing that is massively increased is people’s confidence that they are correct no matter what and there isn’t anything they don’t know, and if there is, it’s stupid and not worth learning. I’ve seen this attitude in online spaces and in real life conversations. A massive difference to like 10 years ago when that attitude was far less frequent and people were far more curious and open to new information. I used to volunteer a lot, and I quit because it became so awful to deal with ignorant and aggressive people, whereas previously people were far more amendable and grateful.
I miss people being able to rant about things they did know about and able to acknowledge the limits of their knowledge. AI is basically next gen social media in that all it does is bias-confirm people’s ignorance and tell them what geniuses they are and they get addicted to that cognitive junk food and think good food tastes disgusting.
