I never felt “guilty” about ordering a pizza for delivery when the driver was some 17 year old paid by the pizza place. But ordering DoorDash or UberEats just feels dirty. Unethically sourced labor.

@tolstoybb sorry but this is dead on and "right wing progressive" is exactly how I would describe you

[pnorm @randy_mossad]

@samswoora They love foreign doctors because foreign doctors don't care which city they end up in. Domestic doctors insist on moving either to a place with great QoL or moving to where their families are as soon as they have enough experience to have any bargaining power

@dr_lugubrious teach me your ways, I have had terrible luck with them, even cotton

when people complain a lot about laundry it's usually because they haven't accepted our lord and savior polyester

Laundry *is* a genuine pain in the ass if you wear nothing but temperamental natural fibers and dyes

@crazybirdredux you didn't notice the odor or you didn't know it was fixable?

[pnorm @randy_mossad]

The "let's rebrand prostitution as a form of therapy" thing is really troubling. These women have a conflict of interest that will discourage them from teaching these hapless nerds how to have ordinary sex with ordinary women. They have financial incentives to get him into weird shit that nobody else is offering so that they have a client for life

[pnorm @randy_mossad]

That guy who commits date rape isn't date raping because his bros endorse it. He knows its not okay. He doesn't tell the bros because the bros would disown him over it

[pnorm @randy_mossad]

I can only speak for white guys but white rapists don't have friends, they're not in the group chat gloating about the girl they raped. This idea that they have male confidants who can police their behavior is a fantasy.

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

Raising boys who won't commit sexual assault is NOT enough. Raise them to be the man in the group chat who texts back: NO, stop this, and I'm calling the cops.

@nonblankslate you're goddamned right

@luke_d_ismas I am not scared of that vertically challenged loser

there's a possibility this says more about Saudis and Emiratis than it does about post-work societies

[LindyMan @PaulSkallas]

What's crazy about socities like Saudi or the Gulf is the native people don't work. It's 50 million people living off oil money.

But it's not like they are creating great art. There's no interesting films. Songs. Literature. Games.

It's just guys hanging out all day

[pnorm @randy_mossad]

I wonder if anyone took it at face value, bought a ticket, and realized halfway through "oh god this is like one of those free vacations where they push timeshares the whole time"

[pnorm @randy_mossad]

reading between the lines of what's being advertised it's pretty clear that that infamous convention in sf that everyone's opining about is a networking even for a niche class of sex worker to market their wares to a newly minted class of multimillionaires, why the obfuscation

[Cairo Smith @cairoasmith]

As incel and femcel are increasingly applied to people who do in fact have sex they seem more and more like they just mean misanthrope.

@GeringerAdam so much alpha in never being specific about anything
