Minimum wage? They're not even actual jobs, they're paid per delivery. They need to blow through as many as they can, because at 2 to 10 bucks a delivery the only way they're gonna make anything actually worthwhile is if they do a bunch of them. Anyway, they literally ask the delivery to be put at the front desk, it's placed on the front desk, and then they get mad. Christ.

Dr Christmas posted:It seems to me that the TERF umbrella has spread to anyone outside of the right wing who has it out for trans people specifically. Yes, sometimes I feel that TERF is going the way of RADAR, SCUBA, and other acronyms that crossed over into being lowercase words with little memory of what they originally abbreviated. There's nothing radical or feminist about many people who get that label. On the other hand, we already have a perfectly good word in transphobe that would be a shame to lose. e: vvvvv that's a good point though, "terf" is a satisfyingly visceral word and "transphobe" feels sterile and easily ignored. wizzardstaff has a new favorite as of 18:50 on Jan 10, 2020 |

It's a good use for it because the word "terf" hits people hard and terfs/transphobes hate being called terfs. The word has weight and momentum. Transphobe on the other hand is a word that has zero weight behind it. No one gives a poo poo if you call them a transphobe. It's like calling a racist "Islamophobe" because they are specifically making GBS threads on Muslims at that very moment.

Yeah I worked delivery until last week as an actual employee and disabled or no people get hella loving entitled about "YOUR JOB is to take it TO ME." I mean, true, but I work for tips and make seven bucks an hour otherwise. It seriously fucks me over when I have to spend a full 20-30 minutes on a single order because I need to take it to your store in an indoor mall, or through your office, or take an elevator 15 stories up. And poo poo, being clear and polite as possible is almost better than a tip. "I will need you to do x for me" is way different from realizing at the last minute that this delivery is going to be a pain in the rear end while the irate customer screams at you over the phone. The best is people ordering to their jobs and then making me wait on them to finish doing work. Thanks, yes, you are the only one working here. Glad to know you see me as a fellow human being.

Yeah, I think the only thing the average TERF takes from rad feminism is the idea of "men invading women's spaces" and they literally only care about that concept when it comes to finding a reason to hate and be vile to trans women. The trans hatred is the point, the rest is window dressing.

He's happy to 'invade women's spaces' to tell us which women we should allow in our own space. ^and the only reason I make the distinction here that his also yells over cis-women is to point out his hypocrisy, the focus absolutely should stay on the vile damage he does to trans women (who are women, full stop.) mycatscrimes has a new favorite as of 19:15 on Jan 10, 2020 |

Cirrhosis Johnson posted:Isn’t this somewhat true though? TERFs really do hate men, and they see transwomen as just men trying to occupy their “safe” spaces. If you're restricting TERFs to actual radical feminists, then of course their hatred of transwomen in bound up in their hatred of men. These days terf basically means anyone opposed to transwomen so....

there wolf posted:So the poster is an MRA type who pushes the misandry -greatest struggle of our time crap pretty hard? Because absent that context I assumed it was a feminist pointing out that the real hatred of men is poo poo like TERFism. I don't want to say there's some fell-blown movement to reclaim the term or anything, but I've known feminists to say misandry when they want to make a point about the real problems men face under patriarchy, in contrast to the ones that the misandry-criers harp on. Like you want to talk about hating men, then lets talk about these assholes that hate men so deeply they loath women who were classified as men and consider them the greatest threat to womankind. I like this explanation best because it puts the focus back on me, the cis man.

yeah, it's easier to lash out at the peer wage slave than the uncaring system it would be better to lobby doordash for some kind of "i'm disabled, bring the food directly to me" flag or commentary system instead of dealing with the variable expectations of where food would be delivered to, because it sucks to be a delivery driver and then learn you have to get buzzed in or gated through or otherwise have to deal with access obstacles (ironically) in the middle of your trip of course doordash would then charge a $3 fee for full-trip delivery and not pass any of it along to the driver

Years ago I did maintenance work on rental apartments as an "independent contractor" and my day was pretty much a 50/50 split between the landlord threatening to fire me if I didn't keep the hours and prices down and tenants trying to get me fired by complaining to the landlord and exaggerating in hopes to get more work done.

Speaking as a trans woman who read the TERF bible (spoilered for raw transphobia) The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male there is a legitimate hatred of men you can read out of it and other academic feminist TERF poo poo. It's not a stretch imo to claim TERFs hate men, after all they don't think trans men exist. :V

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Do they? Cig smokers for sure, and people who are so stoned all the time that it turns them non-functional if you count that as addiction. But my experience with booze and H and other real bad poo poo is that it's either fear of withdrawals for the functional and "the gently caress else have I got to live for?" for the non-functional. Somehow I have a relevant experience for this because my last roommate got hooked on heroin and got super into conspiracy theories about the government making it illegal because it stopped them from mind controlling people.

Dr Christmas posted:It seems to me that the TERF umbrella has spread to anyone outside of the right wing who has it out for trans people specifically. TERFs and the religious right have been making sweet bigoted love with with other for over 30 years. If TERF poo poo doesn't seem any different from regular transphobia, or you think the term is becoming broadly applied, it's because at this point there is functionally no difference. Nowadays TERFism is probably best defined as a subset of transphobia that leverages concern about women's safety and other feminist talking points in order to justify their bigotry. See also SWERFism and how Dworkins and the like criticizing the sex industry in the context of pointing out the failures of the sexual revolution in regards to women, got reduced to hating porn and yelling at sex workers for not playing into victim narratives about them. And TERFs hating men is part of that, because the thing is TERFs don't hate men. The radical lesbian separatists of fifty years ago did, and you can see traces of that in modern TERF arguments. But it's really just a skeleton of the old radical ideology that got purged out in order to make a more broadly-appealing movement against trans people. It's really hard to imagine Mary Daly giving Glimmer the time of day regardless of their shared bigotry, but now he's the darling of an ostensibly 'radical' feminist movement.

Also re: parking, even just parking in the fire lane of whatever building bold as you please, you'll get third-party wage slaves whose job it is to tell you (rightfully, fire lanes exist for a reason) gently caress off, you can't park in the fire lane of this building, and so on. It's not as easy as just rolling up and ignoring the law because apartments and offices without convenient parking also tend to be in areas with a bunch of people who will notice. And like I said, parking legally and going on a walk to get to you can ruin my night, income wise, but it's "my job" except otoh, i'm paid poo poo except for making tips and it may as well not be a job, and your food is only the cost it is because i'm allowed to be paid literal leftovers. If I got paid what I were owed, your food would get an instant 30% hike in price. murder owners, imprison the entitled

In Sweden "Parking" and "Stopping" are two separate legal definitions. Where if parking is banned you can still stop to drop off/pick up people or items without it counting as parking. What applies to fire lanes in the US? Edit: a bit of trivia. In Sweden handicap parking spaces count as a "stopping forbidden" zone to cars without a handicap parking permit. So cheeky fuckers who want to park on them quickly because they're so close to the entrance are insta-hosed.
