- Comment on If a question is downvoted on !nostupidquestions, is the question too stupid or was it not stupid enough? 3 months ago:
I've been on the internet since '98, I've had worse in mine so here ya go rofl (mind the wikipedia notations, I wanna inform but I'm also *lazy):
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (Russian: Протоколы сионских мудрецов), or The Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion (Протоколы собраний ученых сионских мудрецов), is a fabricated text purporting to detail a Jewish plot for global domination. Largely plagiarized from several earlier sources, it was first published in Imperial Russia in 1903, translated into multiple languages, and disseminated internationally in the early part of the 20th century. It played a key part in popularizing belief in an international Jewish conspiracy.
Beginning in 1933, distillations of the work were assigned by some German teachers, as if they were factual, to be read by German schoolchildren throughout Nazi Germany,[1] although the text had been exposed as fraudulent by the British newspaper The Times in 1921 and by the German newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung in 1924. Today, it remains widely available in numerous languages, in print and on the Internet, and continues to be presented by antisemitic groups as a genuine document. It has been described as "probably the most influential work of antisemitism ever written" since it emerged from Russia shortly before World War I.[2]

- Comment on I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now? 5 months ago:
Exactly.
And please don't anyone get me wrong, I'm in no way saying "Lol fuck these struggling cunts, fuck the poors!" or "Lol minimum wage is enough just do your jobs", I am not. I am 100% behind Fuck-you-I-ain't-going-above-and-beyond-for-a-pittance*. If you get paid $15/h, give your boss not a single fucking penny more than $15/h's worth. If you're in the US and get whatever $7/h bullshit arsed shit you all haven't rioted about yet, then by all means give your boss not a single penny's worth of labour above $7/h.
But there's a difference between 'doing 125% when you're being paid dogshit wages and the company gets extra labor out of you for free' and 'well I don't care about this job so I'm not even going to attempt the literal minimum.' If you're getting paid $7/$15 per hour, you do need to at least give $7/$15 worth of labour, not $3.5/$7 worth.

I don't expect perfection, nor did I ever state that I did. I expect the literal bare minimum of service which in the realm of delivering something means as I said to the other person, taking it from point A to point B. If you take it to anywhere but point B, you have failed the basic task your job revolves around.
- Comment on I hate that I am become this person but: are delivery drivers just allowed to call and say 'please come and meet me' now? 5 months ago:
I do empathize with them. I make shit money. I work like a dog to feed entitled brats (well I don't consider my kids entitled but lol..). But if I stopped doing the literal most basic functions of my employment then I'll be making no money, and not working like a dog to feed entitled brats, because I'd be fucking fired from that job.
If your job is to deliver anything from point A to point B, you need to take it from point A, to point B. Taking it from point A to point C is called "fucking up your job".
Have a good day.

#1: They probably should as customer satisfaction is a huge part of any business involving customers.
#2: I'm not necessarily talking about UberEats, I stopped using their services during the pandemic when a $15 meal magically turned into $43 by virtue of pure unadulterated magic.
#3: I don't care if anybody involved doesn't give a shit about my customer satisfaction. I care about people doing their job. I don't get to hang up on people who call me for help on the phones when their being twats because part of my job is handling those twats. If part of your job is delivering food to a specified address, then do your job and deliver the food to the specified address. Failure to do so means you aren't doing your job lol.

Not in my world lol.
I order it for delivery, you're arse comes to my door. I don't care if it's a house, I don't care if I live 400 floors up in a space elevator. If the apartment number is on the order, buckle the fuck up, sunshine.
Delivery guys ring my buzzer, I don't talk to em I just hit the button to open the front door and they can figure their lives out from there. If they call me from their cell phone, sorry kemosabe but I don't know your number and don't answer phone calls from random numbers I don't know.
Food at my door, period. Don't even have to look at me, you can drop it and run for the hills to make up time for all I care. But it's at my door or your boss gets a phone call lol.

- Comment on Archer | S14 Finale Event - Into The Cold | FX 7 months ago:
They did 7 seasons of mixed adventures (amazing, but declining as time went on, still good tho), then Archer was in a coma for 3 seasons for plot reasons so we had the Coma Years™ which weren't great.., then it was back to 'normal' when Archer woke up (but obviously not as great as the original few seasons), but a return to form. Final season just finished days ago (haven't watched it yet myself).

I definitely recommend it. The 3 coma seasons were low points (tho imo, they got better [season by season] as they went on), but the post-coma seasons, while not as good as S01-S04, are still really good and it's great to see how people have developed (or not) over those years. Only downside is not much Ray in the later seasons as Adam Reed clocked out mostly.

Indeed. S01-S04 are on a near-constant loop round these parts (the rest splattered in as desired lol).
