I feel bad for this (possibly unpaid?) actor becoming a meme. She was duped the same as all the children and parents that bought tickets to that shitshow.

Thanks, Jeans Balls!

I think he may be the only person on earth that has more of a unibrow when he doesn’t even have eyebrows.

I would be utterly shocked if it wasn’t.

She should probably lay off the Taco Bell.

It happens to me more and more these days as well.

I think your memory might be failing on this, because we’re about the same age and autosave wasn’t really a common feature in the 90s. MacOS didn’t introduce autosave until OSX Lion in 2010, and Microsoft’s auto-recover (which was their only feature even close to autosave until office365) wasn’t introduced until the 2000s and didn’t work properly until 2007.

I didn’t say tipping wasn’t a thing for delivery drivers. I said it was not typical for contract work. But regarding this comparison, tipping was in no way expected for deliveries before the apps. Del drivers back then were given a livable base wage and were reimbursed for mileage and gas on their vehicle, which the apps also do not do. I know because I did deliveries in college before the apps. It was also normal to tip less than 10% of the purchase price for delivery, yet the suggested tip values in app are always 10% or more. And another difference is drivers weren’t allowed to pick deliveries based on the tip value, but that’s how the apps work making your “tip” effectively the payment for delivery speed. That’s not how tipping is supposed to work.

But back to what I originally said, tipping is not typical for contract work. There is no other type of contract work where tipping 10-20% is expected other than delivery, ridehsare, and other similar new apps, so the apps created this trend for contract work, and it’s merely a way to pressure the customer to pay their workers so they don’t have to.

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 the blood of their species for that same perverse incentive.

In the US, there are constant reminders everywhere. Sometimes even lemmy usernames point out our slight stature.

I meant that it copied the premise of FNAF the game that came out in 2014, not the movie from 2023 that the creator of the game insisted on making even after Willy’s Wonderland came out borrowing his entire story including the silent protagonist. Shame that neither movie was very good.

“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.

Not if you choose engineering as your major. I’ve never worked harder or longer hours than when I was in college.

You’re pre-approved! Go directly to printer.

How’d you do this from Mastadon?

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