Harassment sure, but not abuse.

I definitely agree with you, but I remember how Digg & then Reddit both went to shit once the masses started to use them. Same with Facebook.

I feel like if we all spread out between multiple platforms, none will become big enough for the enshitification to hit them.

I disagree. Things seem to get worse when the herds move to them. It’s as if things are good precisely because they aren’t there.

They’re trying to get brown people out of the military, because white people will be willing to attack brown civilians at home, cause all white people are racists according to them.

Toyota didn’t start out making cars. Does that mean they shouldn’t have started making cars?

Yes, DoorDash got its start delivering food, but that doesn’t mean they are restricted to that permanently.

And yes, I recognize that electronics are expensive, but that’s why I said to press charges on the delivery driver. DoorDash & BestBuy didn’t steal the package, even if they are being lazy about their delivery protocol.

But…

If we have enough evidence of instances where DoorDash drivers steal with impunity… we should be able to start a class action lawsuit against DoorDash since they are basically being negligent.

They do need to keep inventing new bullshit terminology, don’t they?

Ima be honest & say I didn’t read the whole thing.

By ignore I meant to ignore their bullshit. It feels to me like too many people are drinking the koolaid & paying attention to their misdirections.

We need to ignore their bullshit, and just act in response to their “clandestine” actions. Like, I’m sure the Trump vs Musk fight from like a week ago was a misdirection, and it got too much traction.

That traction tells them that it’s effective to do that bullshit. We need to teach them otherwise.

Absolutely agree. Just saying that they get fired up by it, instead of (edit: no idea how it became “or” because I meant instead of) discouraged.

It might be smarter for us to use different methods.

The biggest offense to them is to be ignored. At least that’s what I’ve noticed.

I honestly think those people think that dissent is a sign that they are doing what’s right. That’s why they invented the term “social justice warrior,” when in most places that’s just how society works: by holding people accountable.

Well BestBuy would be like 95% off the hook. You’re gonna just let Rick & the boys off the hook? Unless BestBuy is running an op with Rick & the boys, it’s Rick & the boys that stole your shit.

If it keeps happening, and BestBuy keeps using Rick & the boys, then they’d be 100% liable because of negligence.

I think it’s a balancing act. We definitely do it to an unhealthy degree currently, but we need to do it to some degree. It would be just as unhealthy for anyone to come into your house at any time because why not?

Kinda missed my point. It’s the driver’s choice to steal.

Some people are gonna be thieves even if you give them that help. Still others will take advantage of you for having the heart to help.

Some people are thieves no matter the socioeconomic factors.

Yeah, I definitely agree that they should be required to do the due diligence when it comes to hiring their delivery personnel.

I can definitely agree that BestBuy & DoorDash are on the chopping block for negligence, but they aren’t the ones who stole your laptop.

In a better, and perhaps idealistic, world DoorDash would be a perfectly acceptable & respectable option for BestBuy to contract for deliveries. And even in that better world, the driver is still the real criminal; fellow working class or not.

Justice should fuck everyone that needs to get fucked; whether they are a big fish or a small fish.

I used to do Postmates, and I used to get these kinds of deliveries. I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver. I never even thought about stealing people’s expensive electronics, and I would text or call the customer to ask where they wanted me to leave the package.

I would send the evidence to the police & file criminal charges against the driver.

Still, you should hassle the corpos, but don’t forget that the driver is the real criminal here.

Well radio was originally mostly about advertising, and when TV came around it was just gonna be radio but with moving pictures! So yeah, it was about spreading more advertisements around to more people.

I wasn’t talking about the kidneys that time, more generally about others deciding who dies

No, I think whenever it’s up to someone else, without my permission, it’s always bad.

Edit: as in I’d rather not have someone else choose when I die. That’s between me & physics or god or the universe or something that isn’t some other person.
