MTA workers, Dept of Sanitation workers, NYCHA workers... So many people who work for the city. All it takes is one hangnail or paper cut.

Marques is right. I'm sorry, for $700 goddamn dollars I refuse to be some random startup's R&D. I can't wait for the DiSrUpToR model to die a painful death.

And to all the people crying because MKBHD was mean, I say: STFU. I watch him for his integrity. Your product is bad and you should feel bad.

I'm waiting for the post-scarcity stuff 😭

I usually try to but here in the Northeast USA almost nothing is in season except mushrooms.

They're just regular red table grapes. I have no idea what's going on with fruit prices near me but they're nauseating. I'm in the northeast; we should still have some late apple varieties left from fall but those are getting outrageous too.

Ordinarily I'd totally agree. But they've been going up in price constantly for the last 2 years and never come down.

I went grocery shopping Saturday. Grapes were $6/pound. It's getting so we can't afford produce anymore.

They did the same thing for UberEats in NYC. "New York Courier Fee" of $2 on every order with the explainer text "Due to new requirements put in place by the City of New York, workers are guaranteed a minimum hourly pay rate while they are delivering orders to customers. Customers will now see an additional fee on all delivery orders to help cover this pay rate. Tipping remains optional."

Every time I see some batshit ruling, I'll mumble to myself "bet it's the 5th circuit" and I'm almost never disappointed.

There's no "algorithm" per se, so you can actually discover new things in your feed, rather than just being fed what they think will keep you scrolling.

Also, you can use whatever app you like (I like Sync personally, but that's because it was my client of choice for Reddit) instead of using their RSS reader stapled to a Wish.com TikTok clone.

Only downside is when you DO finally have an, "Oh, it's you" moment, you'd better hope they're not one of the few people doing the posting.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't see how this should affect her ability to litigate this case.

Now, her reelection prospects? Fulton county voters should definitely keep this in mind.
