I think her issue isn't that she's paying more via fees and tips. It's that the store is charging her more for every individual item. One would expect to pay the shopper and delivery person for their effort. But realizing that the store is capturing most of that AND charging you more for every item on top of it seems to be the problem. The shopper, delivery person and the buyer are all getting shafted.
Yep. We rang the alarm bells 20 years ago. No one listened. I left the state, but the fact that this was going to happen was as plain as the nose on your face. People just didn’t want to see.
People don’t want to do the hard work that it will take to live by a new paradigm. It will break the economy for years, but it’ll likely take that to change things. Eventually, we could build back something more in tune with our ecosystem.
I used to live in Florida 20 years ago. I also went scuba diving off the keys. Back then it was shear worrisome that water temps were getting in the upper 80s and there was some occasional bleaching.
It breaks my heart to see what’s happening now. It’s so much worse than it already was when I lived there.
Ahhh. Good thinking. I hope it’s something that lemmy can figure out so we don’t have to do questions like this. I bet it’ll get easier in time.
I haven’t posted many pics, but the couple of times I did, the orientation was wrong. What did you do to get it to not turn it sideways?
Cute doggo btw.
I just finished watching the first season of Silo. It was good enough to make me get the book series and start reading it. I thought the tv show was a bit slow and got bogged down some. Now that I’m reading the book, yup, I can tell that it really is going much slower than the book.
The only reason for starlink to exist is because telcos were allowed to ignore building out infrastructure to serve more areas. I don't know if incentives were ever provided to get them the capital to be willing to build out the infrastructure in less populates/rural areas.
Realizing that we have turned earth orbit into a garbage pile simply because we refused to step up and do right by our citizens instead of maximizing capitalism certainly stings.
Awesome. thank you so much for helping me navigate the app.
It's now in the same spot on my phone screen that Apollo used to be in. Well done!
Looks good! I’m posting from it now. Excellent job!
Just wondering though… I have an account on another instance. Is there a way to set up more than one in Memmy? It shouldn’t be required, but with all the defederation comments I’ve read, it seems prudent to have more than one account so I don’t end up not seeing posts I’d find interesting.
I tend to mostly just participate by adding comments. But occasionally a create a new post/thread. So I'd say that I'm personally 85% lurk, 14% comment, 1% create/post. I tend to post in more specialized/niche forums versus the big communities. Those have lots of content already.
Shadowverse. I've been looking for a good card/deck game that doesn't require playing online and buying cards. So far, this game looks pretty good. I also got powerwash simulator. I thought it might be a good game for when I just wanna zen out and not think too much. hahahaha!
