      When someone hands you cash or coins and it's sticky. Hopefully not related to the strip club situation.

        OK, I've got a gear-grinder. Everyone on the internet starting statements with "speaking as a ___________". FFS, it's the internet, you could be anybody or anything. I don't care to hear how you think you're so specially qualified to give an opinion on something. People are so full of themselves anymore, it's nuts. And the way this late-stage capitalism has us so compartmentalized, we guard the little fiefdoms that are our jobs like it's the only thing we have. I long for the days of "renaissance men" taking on whatever catches their interest. Look at the founding fathers; some of them were statesmen, lawyers, farmers, publishers, and inventors, all at the same time.

            speaking as OS's official resident village idiot, back in the olden days, it really wasn't that big accomplishment, or very hard to do any one of those things, or even all of those things.

            really, how hard is to be a farmer, you dig a hole, roll a watermelon into it, 9 months later, you have a watermelon tree.

            definitely wasn't hard to be a lawyer back then, what were there, like 10 laws you had to know?
            heck nowadays you can't even remove the tag from your mattress w/o the IRS coming down on you for that.

            and ''publishing'' lol, don't even get me started on that one. 90% of the population had less than a 4th grade education. Publishers could publish gibberish, who was gonna know?
            (SIDEBAR: that's why they started that TV show ''are you smarter than a 5th grader'' 200 years ago. and see how easy it was for me to use that ''sidebar''? lawyering t'aint hard at all)

            and inventoring? any fool could ''invent'' anything, at any time, just by rolling out of bed, because 99% of products weren't already invented. ketchup? I could have invented that with just a hammer and a tomato. and if a hammer hadn't already been invented, all I would have needed was a tomato and another tomato

            greatest generation my ***. 2000 years and they couldn't even come up with one idea to improve something as simple as toilet paper

            yep, my four fathers grinding my gears to this very day.

                    I kept reading it as "ecclesiastic," but that word is way way different in meaning.

                        Made me think of ecdysone, an insect hormone, which (as I found out when looking up 'ecydiast') is released by the ecdysial glands. The main function of ecdysone is to promote moulting or literally shedding of the skin so the use of the word rooot in the descrption of what strippers do makes sense.

                            Food delivery apps are getting worse and worse. They're basically the ticketmaster of food service.

                            It's already bad enough items need to be raised in prices, but then they also charge a service fee on top of that, and delivery fees are getting ridiculous, all while you're expected to tip on top of that.

                            I'll use a recent example. I have a 40% off promo on my account. It's only for delivery orders. I looked everywhere and everyone seems to charge at least $2 for delivery fees, even a place a block away. So if I order something as simple as a $7 sub, it costs $9 on the app, plus $2 service fee, plus $2 delivery, plus tip.

                            So if a 40% coupon leads to a $7 item a block away still costing $10.50 without tip, that seems real pointless.

                            During the lockdowns I loved using food delivery services. You actually got deals and it helped to stay in while still getting the food you wanted.

                            Now, I've deleted almost every food delivery app I have, and the one I do have I use maybe once a month at most. More and more food places need to ditch these services and just have their own, even if delivery isn't an option, if I could see your menu online and order at the same price as if I were in person, that would be helpful. Somehow in 2023 that isn't a thing for many restaurants still (more so local ones whose idea of posting a menu is a blurry pic on their phone from 2 years ago)

                                I've never used an Uber, but someone sent my a screenshot of how much it cost to go about 4 miles and I was amazed lol.

                                But I guess we just have to get past the point of thinking about the value of money the way we did 10 years ago, or longer.
