I had a bear of a time accessing this article on mobile. I finally accessed it on my iPad and I’m hoping my comment goes through and not too late.

Look I get that you think you’re trying to change things. But you’re not sticking it to the man, you’re sticking it to the servers. The restaurants still get theirs. You’ve done nothing but use some vain ideology to shroud your own greed and selfishness.

2) the study discusses how it creates more aerosolized particles than if no mask were used 

That’s what I thought the study was going to say. But it’s actually worse because they found it breaks up larger particles and creates more aerosolized particles. So the study suggests that it could be literally, scientifically worse

I thought the same, that it was better than nothing. The study shows that they are potentially WORSE than nothing - it showed that the fabric would break up larger particles that would usually fall faster and the result is it creates more aerosolized particles as it passes through 

Nobody has studied whether buffs actually increase the chances that someone might get sick.

You buy into the bullshit every time to patronize a restaurant. You’re not as slick as you think you are. 

But that’s not how it works. VC money keeps these business afloat while they operate at losses. Independent restaurants are expected to fund the costs of their businesses. These third party services would not survive if customers paid for the costs, so they set it up to extract the costs from the restaurants. I know…

Indeed that is the wrong way to run a business. But that’s what delivery apps do. They run in the red - success is measured by market saturation, not profitability. They make it so that everyone expects their service and restaurants are compelled to participate.

No - if you want to buck the system, don’t go out to restaurants.

Meh. “Put it in your Mouth” came out 24 years ago. We’re catching up, and I feel like once we are there, the pearl clutching can re-commence

You’d probably be able to read better if you didn’t have such a long day

Welcome, citizen of the Splinter diaspora. Please enjoy our non-sardonic and apolitical jokes.

Please imagine I photoshopped this quote onto the cartoon of the guy speaking up in a corporate boardroom only to get thrown out the window in the last frame

I mean, they didn’t need anyone to tell them they were a tea country. But identifying the emotional attachment factor as the primary challenge to address was valuable. 

Mutual respect is indeed key.

You can’t compare “being a tease” to a harasser. Power dynamic. Being a “tease” has rarely made a man feel unsafe

I hate the concept of “get something cheap in case they don’t like it”

Some people need it...they need to have that adversarial or haughty attitude about their choices as it validates them.
