he sounds like one of those guys who doesn’t wear socks

I teach college, and I’ve started giving trigger warnings about material that is perhaps unexpectedly dark. (One piece I teach in my intro class features suicide, another sexual assault.) I mention it orally at the end of class on, say, a Tuesday, and then we watch the thing on Thursday.

Hm, if these third-party delivery guys are so numerous and constantly present, wouldn’t it make sense to just have their own delivery guy? Is there some GrubHub rule that (in the suburbs) you CAN’T use your own guy?

The war for clicks debases us all, there can be no winners.

Yeah, looking at the vid it does look like she is the one who fucked up. They haven’t really started to turn yet and she is pointed into his path.

many locals like myself prefer the cost and ease of ridesharing apps like Lyft

hahahahahahaha, the “geographic majority.”

650,000 folks, approximately the number of people who live in Boston Metropolitan

But when 14 of 26 seats at a bar are being occupied by tap water drinkers it is a problem.

I mean, that’s the obvious solution to this problem, right?

I mean, why in the world can't you set it to wipe everything after each day, if that's your preference?  Maybe it's voice recognition ability will stay shitty but you should be able to make that tradeoff if you want.

This was basically him saying there’s nothing more to do, and everything sucks.
