Ha they sent me the same message, and while I was not booted as a. I’d, I led the protest effort in a few subs that I modded in and helped out over in Save3rdPartyApps. I didn’t delete my account, just went silent after resigning when other mods got cold feet as soon as it started to get real.

- Comment on Are Instacart tipping reccomendations insane or am I being miserly? 8 months ago:
I didn’t say tipping wasn’t a thing for delivery drivers before apps, but it was in no way expected. Del drivers back then were also given a livable base wage and were reimbursed for mileage and gas on their vehicle, which the apps do not do. It was also normal to tip less than 10% of the purchase price for delivery, but the suggested tip values in app are always 10% or more.
What I originally said was tipping is not topical for contract work. There is no other type of contract work where tipping 10-20% is expected other than these types of apps.
- Comment on Are Instacart tipping reccomendations insane or am I being miserly? 9 months ago:
This is simply a company using legal distinctions to shift the blame. These delivery drivers should be employees of the company. Besides, tipping is not topical for traditional contractors. Any payment is agreed upon ahead of time in the contract, and payment is made in accordance with said contract. Tips never enter into it.

Those may be examples of temperate winds, but despite looking up each one of them up and trying to find anything tying them to the word “temperate,” I came up empty.
So more specifically… do you intend “temperate winds” to mean winds that change the temperature of the surrounding area? Or are you calling them that simply because they are winds that are geographically located within the temperate zone?

What are temperate winds?

Yeah, I know a few humans that also trade their blood with humans for that same perverse incentive.

I meant that it copied FNAF the game, not the movie.

“Autism” seems to be the new accepted term to bastardize into a pejorative, but we haven’t reached the point where the scientific community has to abandon it yet.

I had that film recommended highly to me, but I found it to be a pretty poorly executed copy of Five Night’s at Freddie’s that even Cage couldn’t save it for me.

And Huffman’s programming skills weren’t even that great because they quickly brought in Aaron Schwartz to make it all work, yet they always conveniently leave him off of the founders’ list.

The fact that it doesn’t work the same in every browser sounds a lot like anti-competitive fuckery.

He’s been a meme for over 20 years, and I’m a member of society.

Same. Are you from 82, 83, or 84?
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 10 months ago:
Steve wasn’t the finale of Blue’s Clues, so I don’t think it has to be a series finale. For me in the 90s, I can’t think of any tv shows that made me cry, but i can think of quite a few movies. Over all, My Girl is probably the only one that completely destroyed me emotionally.
- Comment on Goodbye MatPat, thanks for everything 10 months ago:
I’m a millennial but too old to have ever watched Blue’s Clues, so I couldn’t give two shits when Steve left.
Also, it’s hilarious that this meme completely ignores Gen X.

I do, but I was writing from the perspective that it was invented for the Hunger Games.
- Comment on local hunger games construction almost complete 10 months ago:
The shipping containers make it so much more dystopian, and calling it “The People’s Park” is just bad writing, even for schlocky YA fiction.
