Today: Nothing but ocean in front of the US west coast.

Back then: Nothing but ocean in front of the US west coast.

And that in-person pickup, by the user or their friend or someone else they paid, is for some reason or another completely out of the question.

I literally don’t ever order delivery so these sort of can’t-do-nothing takes around Doordash are completely foreign to me, but that is just me.

Declining the sidequest invitation, I think that Iran would rather the conflict never have to escalate to that point.

What’s not very realistic?

This is because the reality in the region is that the US is assisting Israel in a war of territorial expansion that involves all of those countries. Iran knows that it’s not enough to merely convince the west to stop attacking just them, because they know that this alone does not cease Israel’s lebenstraum. If Palestine and Lebanon fall then Syria and Iraq are next, and that means doom for Iran.

How much money was 3%?

Your thought-terminating moralizing erases and belittles the restless dissatisfaction of all those who came before you to create the comforts from which you gesture abusively at the destitution they saved you from.

Are they so sure that Kurzgesagt isn’t slop? Isn’t it funded by the Gates Foundation? The charity arm of Bill “I’m totally not a creepy pedophile monopolist” Gate’s PR initiative?

What happens if you don’t mow?

So we’re really Sisyphus dishposting today huh

You can lead a roommate to a washing machine but you can’t make them put their dish into it.

How dare you ever complain about anything, there are children starving in India!

What do you mean you don’t like The Office??

My partner has disabilities and so they do not help lift the sofa. But they are a lot better at driving a manual truck than I am, so with a few pillows and adaptations in the driver’s cab that is what they do when someone needs a sofa moved. Some disabilities prevent you from driving the truck too, but it’s important as a group of sofa movers to make sure that everyone has something they can fulfill, even if that means planning the move. That can be incredibly helpful.

I am also the guy with the truck. But I do not drive 5-speed manual very well. So the truck lives at the house of my friend who is good at driving manual. He’s kind of my Tony, I guess. The truck is indeed a community resource of anyone we are decent friends with.

It’s all because of money, and money is power. But yes we little monkeys have a worrisome preoccupation with that power.

I could write a lengthy essay about how the design of modern western public bathrooms reflects our social hypocrisies, inconsistencies, and social ills. In fact I have been gathering thoughts for a while now with plans to do so.

And I too opt for a stall whenever possible, I’m a cis-presenting man but I still don’t feel safe enough at a urinal for the pee to flow. But this stuff is often invisible to those it doesn’t affect adversely.

I remember when he got arrested trying to buy weed from a cop

Netflix will win the suit. A single producer delivering by hand an unencrypted, unprotected DCP is not standard operating procedure in Hollywood. Netflix would have expected the distributor or studio to deliver a case containing a specialized hardened drive, encrypted files unique to that specific copy, meant in some cases to be played only once directly off the drive. A solo producer rolling up with unencrypted, untracked files is wildly negligent by industry standards. Op-Fortitude is just trying to cover their ass with this suit, and it’s probably too late.

Also as someone who has worked in film I found this line from the Netflix exec humorous: “We’ve been working through this with out security teams to no luck. Our piracy teams are on high alert with the breach and will monitor.” Yeah no, what’s been happening is that the security and piracy teams are dealing with a lot of strung out high-demand verbose producers and then turning around and going about their day as usual, good riddance.
