The apps mention that higher tips incentivize faster delivery from drivers to encourage users to do it. That would only make sense if you got a preview of the tip when the order is placed. If the tip gets changed to something lower after you’ve done the legwork under the assumption of a higher reward, I can see that being frustrating. I’ve also seen “If the tip is below $X per mile, I’m not taking the order” and similar comments online from driver communities. Haven’t done it myself, but maybe things have changed

Not them but

My guess is Barron. If he’s trying to imitate NK, establishing a dynasty and getting rid of elections would be the starting point. And with all the talk of a 3rd term… my guess is that’s the goal. No dictator lasts forever, so ensuring a favorable transfer of power is vital. And if trying to deify yourself, the next closest thing is your progeny.

Oh, no, they’ll list the ones not falling in line behind the cheeto taco. The last “wave” probably won’t ever be released. Make the orange baby cry, congrats you’re in the next one

I’m part of this as well. I read a ton as a kid to the point my parents took away my books as punishment. Gaming definitely did (and does) take up more and more time I could be reading with. But it’s honestly been give and take. Recent games reignited a desire to read sci fi, so I got 3 books into the Dune series and read Neuromancer and some of Gibsons other short stories just this year.

I hope that we see a resurgence similar to vinyl, where physical media gets a revival. I’ll admit, i read quite a few books on my phone. Maybe I’m getting old, but having the actual books is becoming more and more appealing by the day. It might be coming back guys!

He learned the line, he was gonna say it dammit. If he’d wanted learnin’ he’d have gone to school

I mean, I’m surprised our economy hasn’t crumbled, so it’s not technically untrue

Nope. At that point, you’re new money with no way to sustain it. You’re part of The Poors but with the added step of funneling that money into “better, more capable” hands, and a poor investment for a pardon.

As far as I know, everyone who has been cryogenically frozen and thawed out has had to have their soup-ified remains be scraped out of the vat into a barrel. I cannot imagine voluntarily paying to sign my child up for that fate.

You know why
