Ooh, I like that! I tend to say "no entiendo" but I'm not sure if that's actually correct. No se is a lot easier haha

I've only really learned the Spanish I've picked up by osmosis, living in areas with large Spanish speaking populations. I'm actually genuinely proud of myself for being able to read this simple comic. Lmao

Edit:

My favorite Spanish sentence, and the only one I can say with any real confidence: Lo siento, mi español es muy malo.

Apparently, I say it with a near flawless accent, though, because whenever I say it people machine-gun Spanish back to me and tell me "no, no, it's very good!"

Well, that's absolutely going in my next short story or novel!

The problem with these apps isn't that they're providing the wrong service. The problem is that I am a fucking employee of door dash being treated like I'm an independent contractor. As if I'm a tradesman, a plumber, being brought in on a contract for a plumbing job. I'm not. I'm a delivery driver. Pizza joints the nation over managed to have employee drivers for decades, door dash can manage it too

In order to make that, I have to go to a city 45 minutes away. So that's 15 in gas to get to work. Then I'll spend around 65 on gas for dashing. Then 15 back home. And I'll need to pay taxes out of the remaining, plus wear and tear on the vehicle. It's not as bad as it could be, but it's not as good as it sounds, either. The solution is to make dashers employees with healthcare and everything else.

Honestly, it's funnier if he's genuinely excellent at it.

Neither of them are available in my area. Both are available about 45 minutes away, and I've been considering it. On a good shift, if I make the drive to a nearby city, I can 200 in a night... But I'm getting more and more cynical, to be honest. I'm exhausted of it.

No, genuinely, fuck these apps. I'm dashing to survive right now, and it's a fucking joke. You make just enough to cover your gas and collect a tiny bit for paying whatever pressing, dire thing it is that day, and never make enough to cover the taxes you're going to owe or the maintenance on your vehicle. And guess what? You also can't seem to earn enough to get decent clothes for an interview, or the extra gas to drive to one. I'm lucky I have family support, if I didn't... I don't want to think about it
