It looks like the Sync app, which is what I use. It does have ads but my VPN blocks them so I never see them unless I turn it off.

Not sure if this is your photo, but what this cat is doing could be a sign of a serious medical problem. If this is your cat, I would get this floofer to the vet ASAP.

When I learned some people can't watch something with subtitles I was so confused, because ADHD auditory processing issues mean I really can't hear without subtitles. If I don't have subtitles on my mind wanders off without me and I have to keep rewinding because I missed something. I remember buying a ticket to Pan's Labyrinth in theatres a long time ago and being baffled when the person in the ticket booth warned me that it had subtitles. Took waaaay too long for me to get diagnosed.

I searched for more information about this picture, and found more from the photo shoot. Classic horror stars with cats. Pretty adorable.

As a former dasher myself, dashers are expecting that because it needs to be worth the time, cost of gas, and wear and tear on their car to even do the order.

Doordash only pays around $2.50 per order. If it's a really bad one (long distance, a slow restaurant that takes up a lot of time, long driving distance) DoorDash might add a dollar or two to get someone to take it. If your food is cold, it's probably because no one wanted to take your order because it wasn't worth it, so you have to wait until a driver who doesn't understand that they're spending more money than they're making takes a bad order. Sometimes the restaurant is slow or says an order is ready when it isn't. The "tip" is pretty much the whole pay for the order. And if the tip is really good, sometimes DoorDash takes part of it without telling anyone.

Also, DoorDash doesn't always show you the whole tip amount. There's a note that says "the actual tip may be higher." Usually it's not, but they leave that "maybe" in there to bait you into acceptimg orders that cost more to deliver than you earn.

There are definitely some shitty drivers. But a lot of people don't have a choice but to do gig jobs. People with disabilities who need to have flexible schedules because they don't qualify for disability assistance and they can't commit to a schedule because of random symptom flare ups. People with criminal records. People with social anxiety. Minorities. People learning English.

DoorDash is to blame here, not the drivers. They need to call it something other than a "tip." The suggested "tip" amount should be based on the driving distance, not a percentage of the order cost. And they should pay drivers more out of the "service fees" they get for sitting back doing nothing and letting the app print money for them.

Let's blame the right people here.

Got this in an email from the Florida Department of Health today. Someone get me out of this crazy state.

Fun fact: When I briefly worked in a funeral home, I learned that dead people just chilling on a table will sometimes look like they're breathing. I'm not talking about actual movement, like fluids settling in the body or anything like that. It's a sort of optical illusion. I guess the brain is used to seeing people breathing so it fills in the blanks. I experienced this illusion myself and so did others working there.

I feel like they did it on purpose for the attention. Otherwise what would a "memorable edge" be? A screenshot of a website? They knew what they were doing.

He always looks like the "pompous buffoon" character in a Jane Austen novel who looks at the main character and says "I shall have her! She will learn to love me!" before she marries the one who doesn't...act like that.

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.

For me, it was when he had a woman on his show who had gained a significant amount of weight, after being sexually assaulted multiple times, in order to appear more unattractive to men. Dr. Phil told her to lose weight, and to stop "letting men use your body as a playground."
