People that order doordash/uber eats from places that do their own delivery, like a local pizza place.

My daughter works at one of the local pizza places, and they employ their own delivery people and do not charge extra for delivery, but for the added exposure, they also deliver through doordash and uber eats.

She says the amount of people that order through delivery services is staggering.

Are people THAT adverse to making a phone call that they're willing to pay upwards of an extra $20 just to order through an app instead?

In Denmark McDonalds workers make $22/hour
In Denmark, a Big Mac costs only a little more than it does here.

Weird how that works, and weird how you people never seem to bring that up. Oh right, it's not. You're just bitching about people making more money because you want to keep people poor because you think you're better than them.

While I get the point you're trying to make, you can't compare the economic breakdown of a country with 330+ Million people with one that's approximately the size of Wisconsin.

Allison Hanigan (Band Chick) and Jennifer Coolidge (Stiflers Mom) had much better careers than Sean William Scott has.

Also, Eugene Levy (Jims Dad) was a well regarded comedic actor for a decade before he got this role. Also went on to be in Schitts Creek.

Truly we were experiencing a preview of Biden's dictatorship. Republicans said it was basically Nazi Germany or North Korea.
Ill only disagree with that part, because people legit got fired for not complying to vaccine mandates. Especially if you had a government job.

So to say nothing will happen is kinda disingenuous. I understand your point, but I dont necessarily agree with it.

Its kinda a case by case basis for me.

Like, I played through Spider-Man 2 and still enjoyed playing as Miles despite being a 46 year old playing a Black/Puerto Rican teenager.

But (and I get a ton of shit for it, but whatever) I tend to not find a lot of female comics funny, especially ones that do a lot of relationship/dating humor, because Ive never experienced what its like being a single female in the dating scene.

I think a big part of it was that the interview mechanics never really clicked with me, and I kind of stumbled through those portions of the game, just randomly shouting at suspects.

TopicIt's kinda weird how fitness is obsessed with scientific research, right
bigblu89
03/20/24 4:49:13 PM

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that the "average" person can reach peak physical performance in something like weightlifting if they stick to a strict, science base regimen.

Whereas, no matter how much research you do, so matter how many formulas and numbers you crunch, the "average" person either can or can't hit a baseball at an elite level.

I just think of myself. If I had the time and the means, I could turn myself into the physical peak of what someone my age could be. Good enough to rival anyone my age. Simply because the only thing holding me back is actually doing it.

But no level of training and scientific research will make me an MLB caliber baseball player, simply based on my physical limitations at 46 years old. So instead I'm just a pickup/beer league player.

NES games were routinely $35 to $45 in the late 1980's

$40 in 1989 is $101.42 in 2024.

So, when compared to inflation, $70-80 for a game is a decent value.

Uh... yeah. I would tell them to move on. What do you expect them to do? Call the police? That will likely escalate the situation to dangerous levels and they probably won't be able to help you anyway.

In a hypothetical universe in which all cops aren't bastards? Yeah, go ahead. Either way, the person should face some consequences. But we are talking about practice vs ideal

Got it. Petty theft is just a "get over it" situation, where the person doing the crime is the actual victim.

Makes sense.

Who said anything about not punishing someone? I think they should be punished but I also think punishments should be proportional to the damage done and in relation to the need of the person doing the crime.

Well, when your reaction to someone getting their watch stolen is "I would say that sucks for that person and then move on.", it doesn't sound like you want the person doing the crime to be punished. Sounds more like you're telling the victim to just get over it.

Uh-huh. I would say that sucks for that person and then move on.

But what if it's isn't a watch? What if their car is broken into? Does the narrative then become "Don't want your car stolen? Sell it and take the bus!"

Eventually the people ACTUALLY DOING THE CRIME are the one that should be punished.

Why do people act like squatters are all poor and disenfranchised people when it's typically people who are just abusing the system?

Because it's easier to make it a "Poor vs Rich" thing. It's easier for people to understand "Fuck the Rich".

Kinda like how people think everyone on disability is poor and "living off my tax dollars" when a lot are actually middle and upper class people milking the system with injuries they don't really have.

Lots of misdirected anger here. If you want to be mad at how slow bureaucracy is, or the state of houselessness, fine. But being mad at a person who is just trying to survive till tomorrow is pointless. You might not like the laws and they can suck for people, but it prevents a much greater injustice

You sound like the kind of person reads about someone getting their watch stolen by a poor person and says "Why do you need a $100 watch when your phone tells time for you?"
