Literally the only thing I know about Shane Dawson is he jerked off on his cat.

Is he a politician? A Canadian SoundCloud rapper? A TikTok influencer? A youtube gamer?

Don't know. Don't care. Dude honked off all over his cat.

I can't shake my belief that food delivery for able bodied people is a bad thing for everyone involved
I know there are reasons why it's beneficial for some people and it's probably just my lovely conservative opinion but I hate it

On one hand I totally get being blackout drunk or high as giraffe balls and "dude I can press a button and there will be gyoza and crab rangoons here" is basically dark wizardry. Like if this existed when I was 21 I definitely would have used it a few times.

And it goes without saying how useful it is for people with disabilities.

But it's so alien to me to want to pay obscene prices for food I can just... get. Like if you're sober and able-bodied, etc., nothing is restricting you, it's loving bizarre to me that you would use food delivery or grocery delivery or whatever. Just as a concept I don't mesh at all with "why walk a few blocks/drive 3 or 4 miles when I can have a worse experience for far more money".

The issue is the folks (namely my in-laws) who basically become dependent on it. They will order Doordash from a restaurant that's not even a ten minute drive away, then complain when it's over-priced, half-cold, or incorrect. :rolleyes: They are perfectly capable of driving to pick it up (they did it for years!), they just...don't want to.

Like this. This is what I can't wrap my head around and why I've never used it.

"My car is in the shop. I'll call a cab." This I get. "I'm watching the kids and everything is in chaos right now and I'm too tired to cook. I'll just order pizza." This I get.

Combining the two and deliberately paying $45 for a sandwich dumped on my doorstep like I'm shunned from society is way out of my wheelhouse.

lol didnt Ellis get a minor taste of the twitter mob when she said stupid stuff about some cartoon that was faux Asia and ripping off Avatar The Last Airbender?

Would think she would learn to mod those thoughts better but social media and being online tooo much is brain poison.

Ellis was cancelled because she's a racist for very gently making fun of a Disney movie made by white people for Chinese audiences that bombed hard in China because it was insulting.

Naturally it was all women and right wing bad actors behind the cancelling because the internet is dumb and the circular fire squad must go on forever until one person is determined to be the only one with correct opinions.

If you actually care about stupid internet drama, here's a video breaking down the cancelling of notorious transphobe Lindsay Ellis (she's a transphobe because she made fun of Disney)

https://youtu.be/C7aWz8q_IM4

That was the video published immediately after her video in collaboration with a trans YouTuber about the history of transphobia in film

https://youtu.be/cHTMidTLO60

You know. Which she made because she definitely hates those darn trans folk (you can tell because she said a Disney movie was bad)

Anyways, back to discussing the purely authentic psychotic hatred of Martin Scorsese on twitter. Which is totally normal and not astroturfed to hell.

The important thing to remember here is that an objectively good and progressive person who is extremely into intersectional feminism was correct in 99.99% of their takes but inarticulately worded one thought in a kinda weird way so we must now interpret it in the worst possible way and stone them and feast on their flesh so that the harvest will be bountiful.

Food stamps. In America, we can't just feed poor people or give them money. We have to give them a card that can be lost or stolen, that they can only use on specific items at specific stores.

And in true American fashion when you break down how the system works it's taxes going to poor people spending the money at Walmart and Walmart spending that money to bribe politicians to keep the program alive but still keep the threat of it being taken away to keep the poor oppressed and fearful of making waves so everyone's life is shittier except for the ruling class.

I've lost count of the number of times I've had to watch someone take food off their total and "put it back" because the final price exceeds their limit, and put it on my tab because because I despise this barbarism.

Stores don't "restock" refrigerated stuff like sour cream or raw meat, because policy is it was not held at proper temperature so it's spoiled now in that trip from the refrigerator case to the checkout.

So the chicken legs and milk are just going to be thrown out as a corporate write-off they claim on their taxes while poor people go without in a country where half the food produced ends up as food waste. And the margins on the food waste end up being reflected in the store prices.

My grocery cart would cost half as much and we'd pay lower taxes if we just let poor people have food. But this is America, and we believe in the Christian teaching of gently caress the poor, let them starve.

I hate this god damned country so loving much.

No, I'm not American. I live in a place that has food safety laws instead of just a "lol if you get sick" warning. What in the world????

Quick crash course on America:

- everyone is dumb as poo poo

- you can sue people for mountains of cash if you do something stupid and they didn't warn you

That's why bleach has "don't drink" labels, oven cleaner has "don't use as contact lens solution" warnings, and knives have "don't insert into peehole" warnings

And in this case "don't eat raw pork" is there so the store can't be sued when some dipshit who has very strong opinions on vaccines and why teachers shouldn't exist eats the pork raw and shits their guts out after demanding it raw.

I think people admitting they didn't know something, and being happy to learn about it, is an excellent quality that shouldn't be discouraged. :kiddo: I just brought it up in case anyone would remember who I'm talking about.

It infuriates the poo poo out of me when people mock genuine curiosity.

Like it's one thing to be a belligerent rear end in a top hat yelling that vaccines contain radio transmitters because you're stupid as poo poo.

But someone being like "wait, how does the sun know to go to sleep at night" is, yes, amazingly naive. But you shouldn't laugh at them. Doing that discourages curiosity and then they end up in cults and yelling about how vaccines contain radio transmitters.
