Pizza delivery
(lemmy.world)
kevlar body armor was developed by a pizza delivery guy
Well yeah, but he was also an ex marine lol
Though he did get the idea after successfully defending himself in an armed robbery attempt while delivering pizza.
Yes it was
Indeed
Have you heard of the High Elves?
I saw a mud crab the other day, horrible creatures
well now, how about that
It's also really, really easy to lose your job as a pizza delivery person.
Not to mention the risk of being frozen for a thousand years.
I. C. Weiner?
Here's to another lousy millennium.
Fuck if he wasn't right too
Crud.
Pizza delivery people have to get out of their car in any weather. Cops only have to get out of their car if they feel like it. Also, cops don't have to buy their own gas.
I feel like "The thin crust line" would work better than "The thin bread crust".
And it really does contribute to society
A pizza can feed a family of four. A cop could feed his family of four if his wife and kids hadn't left him for the domestic abuse reported amongst 40%* of all American cops.
- 40% is the self-reported figure. Unreported instances presumably would make the actual number much higher.
Eat a pizza and you're fed for a day. Be shot by a cop and you will never be hungry again
I was robbed a lot when I delivered pizza.
Driving a car is why both are dangerous.
Edit: look up the most dangerous jobs BLS stats, and most common cause of death for almost all jobs is transportation related.
Other people driving is the dangerous part, hence garbage collection and postal delivery being near the top of the list.
And soon to be you will find them employed by the Mafia betting their own whole life upon the success of a 30 minute delivery.
And don't touch the Snow Crash.
Except at that point the Mafia are somehow supposedly the good guys?
No one is "good" just "good at" anyone saying otherwise is literally using religion to lie to you about being the very delusion of anyone that is "good."
Found the morality relativist.
I am not a relativist. Though there is something specific to which I relate my development of skills towards.
kinda hard to be worse than the police …
Uncle Enzo isn't going to let you down unless you let him down first.
The best franchise!

You have to define danger and timeframe. Here are some calculations.
Indeed. Iirc I contributed heavily to that thread with sources and it's simply not true almost any way you slice it.
The closest proximity is using accidental vehicle deaths but it completely discounts the fact delivery drivers mostly deliver in town where speeds are low.
Unfortunately there's no good data tracking for gig work yet which would be the nearest parable.
E: I was not lazy and found my old comment for sauce.
Police were more likely to be killed by violence than most other positions (which are almost always accident/negligence related), although somewhat ironically their most likely cause of death in 2021 was covid
Just...WOW. In case anyone was wondering about how fucked the US police are.
Yeah I'm just exhausted tolerating you cop hating retards. You're so far gone you're arguing in bad faith and using literally any bottom of the barrel numbers to say the dumbest bullshit.
