  • I believe it. Doesn’t mean Amazon does.

  • Those urban routes are often the ones with the most packages. No way Amazon hires four people to do the job of one.

  • The Uvalde shooter walked into a gun store, and they let him walk out with an AR-15, which he immediately used to shoot up a school.

    Unless we severely restrict who can and can’t legally purchase a firearm, nothing will change. There needs to be background checks, licensing for everyone wanting to buy with a requirement to renew every year (with a test), and mandatory waiting periods. Toss anyone not following these rules in jail for a bit, double if they’re selling firearms outside of the rules.

    I’m not saying nobody should have guns. I’m saying people should have to prove they’re capable of safely using one, and that they’re of sound mind when they purchase one. That’s it.

  • Having been a driver for Amazon in the past for around a year and a half, I’ll tell you right now that these bikes wouldn’t work in a lot of places Amazon delivers. In dense urban areas? Sure, but certainly not out in the ‘burbs or rural areas.

    Package counts on those routes can top out around 500. There’s no way Amazon would purposely reduce the amount of work they lay onto one driver.

    Now that being said, if they loosened their iron grip over the drivers then I can absolutely see this happening in downtowns and some apartment complexes. Outside of really densely packed areas, it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

    Some routes have drivers going well over 100 miles in a day. No way anyone’s gonna do that on a bike. And in the middle of summer in southern cities? Forget about it. Amazon doesn’t even give drivers enough time to find a bathroom, no way they’ll allow drivers to take breaks to cool off.

  • This isn’t Reddit. Stop linking to there.

  • Guess how I’ve been playing Starfield on my Xbox One? I’ll give you a hint, it starts with a C and ends with Loud.

  • Meanwhile I haven’t bought a physical game in like, a decade.

  • But it is. It just didn’t come from slaughtering anything.

  • And yet the governments whose officials we’ve elected into office, having no better options, aren’t doing anything about it because the companies they’ve enabled to cause the problems we face keep taking them out to a fancy dinner every now and then.

  • I’m 36 and I feel the same way. My wife and I decided a decade ago we weren’t having kids because there’s just no way we’ll ever be able to afford it. A house is a pipe dream, something I’d love to have but nothing I’d ever be able to afford. Hell, I can barely afford my apartment.

  • MAKE PORTAL 3 COWARDS. YOU WONT.

  • Yes, actually. By $50. And it required me to move into a different unit of the same floor plan. Then they raised rent by $200 the next year.

  • Not in Texas, at least. Our government here is in the habit of actively making everything worse, not better.

  • You nailed it. People’ve been using it for so long they don’t want to use any number of paid or free services to automatically move all their playlists and whatnot over to a different service.

  • Am I the only one that’s never had any issue with Siri understanding me? The thing does what little I tell it to with no issues.

  • They don’t exist. Not in politics, at least. All we get are crooks and 80 year olds.

  • Donde esta la biblioteca?
