  • It’s significantly different in America. I think doordash has different payment structures in Europe bcos of laws whereas, in most of America, drivers are paid next to nothing. It’s like tipping culture with American service workers, except way worse.

    So like, inflated prices (set by the restaurant and optional, but often done to make up for doordash’s cut) + delivery fee (pocketed by doordash of course!) + ridiculous tip bcos now I gotta pay this driver’s livable wage.

    Door dash really is an unsustainable business. It’s probably gonna tank in the next 5 years, I’d bet.






  • Yeah bro, because hating Trump means I want to gargle Biden’s balls. You’re a waste of time.

    But, for the sake of others reading this:

    Trump said that if hostages weren’t released, there would be hell to pay in the middle-east. In other words, he applied pressure to HAMAS- but not, you know, the genociders.

    Additionally, if you click on the source noting Trump’s incoming envoy’s vague “involvement”, you will note that he had no direct involvement in the negotiations. 🤔

    Edit: I take it back, tentatively. There was a second reference in the following sentence that elaborated on the Trump admin’s involvement. Interesting. Okay. So it seems that they did pressure Israel to agree to a ceasefire.

    We’ll see how long that lasts, considering the last ceasefire lasted 6 days and all.




  • I guess it depends on how they identify themself. If they consider themselves cis, then they almost certainly are cis? So the trans label does not apply. If they don’t identify with the gender they were assigned at birth, then they are not cis. Therefore they are trans. No?

    I’m not sure that “casting a net” of any size matters. Sure, you can say that there is a spectrum or gradient of gender. But I don’t see how that changes anything. Being trans isn’t a gender. It means that you no longer identify with the gender you were assigned at birth.

    Of course, there might be some social stigma associated with being trans that may encourage some people to be offended by this take? Like if you’re a non-binary person you might not really think of yourself as trans due to preconceived ideas and internalized transphobia. Of course I’m not going to go around calling someone trans if they don’t identify themselves as trans anyway, but in my mind I was more answering the question in an attempt to be inclusionary towards people who may want to claim the label but aren’t sure if they fit it.












  • Well, the problem with this line of thinking is that we do have empirical evidence that depressed people DO get better by making a huge effort to get better.

    Drag had anecdotal evidence, which is incredibly weak evidence.

    Drag may have had baseless belief in something and it worked out, but my point is, the evidence WAS available to support that point.
