I feel bad for this (possibly unpaid?) actor becoming a meme. She was duped the same as all the children and parents that bought tickets to that shitshow.

Thanks, Jeans Balls!

I think he may be the only person on earth that has more of a unibrow when he doesn’t even have eyebrows.

I didn’t say tipping wasn’t a thing for delivery drivers. I said it was not typical for contract work. But regarding this comparison, tipping was in no way expected for deliveries before the apps. Del drivers back then were given a livable base wage and were reimbursed for mileage and gas on their vehicle, which the apps also do not do. I know because I did deliveries in college before the apps. It was also normal to tip less than 10% of the purchase price for delivery, yet the suggested tip values in app are always 10% or more. And another difference is drivers weren’t allowed to pick deliveries based on the tip value, but that’s how the apps work making your “tip” effectively the payment for delivery speed. That’s not how tipping is supposed to work.

But back to what I originally said, tipping is not typical for contract work. There is no other type of contract work where tipping 10-20% is expected other than delivery, ridehsare, and other similar new apps, so the apps created this trend for contract work, and it’s merely a way to pressure the customer to pay their workers so they don’t have to.

This is simply a company using legal distinctions to shift the blame. These delivery drivers should be employees of the company. Besides, tipping is not topical for traditional contractors. Any payment is agreed upon ahead of time in the contract, and payment is made in accordance with said contract. Tips never enter into it.

Dog’s like “Why’d you do this to me?”

This. Like ten years ago, when Samsungs had swappable batteries, they were super proud of it. They would advertise it as a feature that Apple doesn’t have.

When I was at a festival, Samsung had an activation where you could tweet at them with your phone model and location and they would send someone with a full battery to trade you for yours. It was an amazing free service that I used so many times, and every time, the jealousy on the faces of all the iPhone people was palpable. Then one year, they quietly removed the swappability from their new phones.

Swappable batteries are such a huge feature that most people don’t even know that they want.

If I walk around, then human see me. This way more sneaky, what could go wrong?

You joke, but as a kid in Texas, we would catch anoles like this little guy and hold them up to our ear lobe until they bit down so they’d become little earrings. They’d hang on for what seemed like ages, and we thought it was hilarious.

It’s really a fun joke, but since I usually just assume most people are terrible, if I saw this sticker, I’d immediately conclude it was placed by some entitled parent that felt like this public pole belonged to them. And if someone made this sticker of my son’s bike, I’d be afraid it would attract a troll who would purposefully lock their bike on top of it or otherwise fuck with the bike simply because of the picture.

Damn, linked right to the dev’s comments on git. Thanks you so much for that.

I never realized how hairy hairless cats are.
