If boiling a kettle or microwaving something is painful so is grabbing your food from the door.
And over 25% of the workers are themselves people with disabilities. Why is it okay to have them go to the grocery store and take those risks for you?
This whole discourse is selfish nonsense.

This is what kicked off the discourse this time around from what I can see. Someone punched down on their delivery person and everyone decided to use PWDs as shields for the exploitation apps, just like every previous time.

It’s also important to note that a quarter or more of the workers who are delivering the food are themselves people with disabilities who are likely to be made more disabled working these apps. Everything from Covid to pulled muscles lugging groceries up the stairs to car accidents.

My grocery store charges the same prices on their app as in store. Delivery is $5 or $10 depending on if you pick a 6 or 2 hour arrival window. They are delivered in a refrigerated company van by an hourly employee. Infinitely better than the DoorDash etc.

They had some amazing macros and buttons in their sheets that would place inventory orders, keep track of cash-outs print out deposit slips, send info to head office, and all kinds of stuff they couldn’t recreate in excel. They ended up buying multiple different software packages to do everything.

I worked for a company that was still using an old version of Lotus 123 in 2010 and it was so much better than any version of excel I have used.

I had this problem like 5 times today. Had to go nuclear and start one of the documents from scratch because the images refused to behave.

The head of the house appropriations committee was missing for 6 fucking months because they were put into memory care. It’s clearly a problem congress is willing to tolerate. Again, 84 yos should be retired not governing.
Why are you so eager to defend this shit?

I didn’t need to a bunch of DC pharmacists came forward to raise the alarm wrt how many congress people are on dementia meds.

Everyone’s cognitive abilities decline with age, especially past 70.

If you need someone to explain why say radical feminism is reactionary there’s no point in engaging with you at all.

Privilege is used as a cudgel to shut down any discussion deeper than the oppression Olympics central to that discourse.
It may have started as a “self reflect before you open your mouth and do a chauvinism” now it’s a weapon to shut down criticism. Gabe employed that technique a dozen times fwiw

Gabe is being willfully obtuse.
Rejecting the idea that men can be, and are, oppressed under patriarchy is stupid and counterproductive. Most men do not actually benefit from patriarchy. To name one issue here.
