Trump literally has Protagonist armor. A major trope in fiction is that there's this guy that's too good that the evil people with power pull all the dirty tricks int he book to take him down, only for them to backfire and get them in deep shit and fired, when they had been using those tricks just fine for a long time and would've been able to sue them long after if it wasn't for this one guy. Hell they literally tried to shoot him in the head and it made him a hero.

In fiction it's referred to as plot armor, when it happens in real life it's a divine mandate.

I suppose it's better than just him tossing it on some random doorstep on that street and claiming he handed it directly to me. When we had a batch of Indians doing delivery for a while that's what they'd do, because they had your money and fuck you.

There was a time in my life when I used GrubHub regularly. When the brownoids started doing shit like this (mostly Indian, East African, and Arabs), I complained to corporate. Every time, I got my money back. One time, a company rep leveled with me and said that this was a serious problem with deliverers. I told the company rep "maybe you should hire people with a command of English?" She stammered a little bit and gave me an awkward chuckle since she was not expecting a comment like that, but did not try to correct me because she knew what I meant.

Now I go and get my food, but I still see delivery drivers go down my street, fail to read house numbers, leave the food somewhere random, and leave. Sometimes these drivers go up my street, which is a clearly marked one-way. They are always several shades darker than a brown paper bag and speak some commie gobbledegook language. The smart ones notice that I'm watching their struggle and have the courage to ask a mean-looking white guy with a cigar which house is 125 Fake Street, and I tell them (because that's the right thing to do). It's just fucking wild to me how such a simple concept is made complicated by idiots.

believe that the majority of Trump voters want to see him engage in the same sort of political prosecutions that were levied against him.

I would argue the majority just want trump economy back more than anything else.

now me personally I want to see fauci on live television with a gun in his mouth screaming "PWEEESE DONNY DON'T HURT MEEEEEE" but that isn't the majority of the electorate. Most of them forgot who fauci was already.

women love shopping, so it's almost always white or rarely latino women, and honestly going through the store picking things out according to a list is probably too hard for the dumb fucking niggers at the immigration center.

UberEats has an option for drivers to shop too.

I forget when it started exactly, but around 2023 (probably late 2022) they started adding all this new crap to give drivers more options to make money
  • Shopping - basically you go to the grocery store and pick the shit out for these lazy fucks. i think there's some rewards card as well that's linked to this every time you shop for someone, but I couldn't be fucked to read more into it because I refuse to do this.
  • You can pick up random packages from random places and deliver them. The alert you get will just say "package" and how far it is, but no specific name or address of where you're picking up or dropping off unless you hit accept. Totally not fucking shady at all /scarcasm
  • Alcohol deliveries - self explanatory.
  • Teen deliveries. So the idea here is that teens between the ages of 13-17 have a separate UberEats account that they can order shit from that the parents are SUPPOSED to monitor since it would also be linked to their account or something along those lines. The problem with this is that parents these days are fucking morons that just allow their kids to have an 18+ account and just do whatever the fuck they want with it, so the teen accounts go unused, and if they do, it's rare. I have this option turned off because I want absolutely nothing to do with teens, but I still wind up delivering to schools and half of the school deliveries are for teens (the other half being teachers) and each school has their own set of rules where they're either super strict to where the security guard will flex their shit at you, or they just tell you to leave it on the table outside/inside and fuck off.
Thankfully all of these are opt-out options, but I wouldn't be surprised if they one day make all of these things mandatory. Everytime they update the app, they are always breaking/removing shit and adding things no one asked for. For example, area bonuses (which is you get an increase in your trip amount by a certain percentage if you deliver in a higlighted area of the town) are completely gone, and in it's place is a forced alert system for the fucking idiots that can't be fucked to read the delivery notes at the bottom of the screen, so now the app yells at you when you get to the delivery spot that says the same fucking thing the note says. It's so fucking annoying and it's only there to cater to dumbasses.

Do people legitimately use that feature? I had to use it once because for some fucking reason the package service worked at my last apartment building but normal Uber service didn't go out that far up the mountain. In order to catch a train I had to pay a nice tip to the driver to deliver the package (me) to the train station.

So our doorbell rang at 4am, turns out that Amazon now has 24 hour delivery service using Über drivers. You've been warned.

Well that answered my question. On an unrelated note does Bezos take strolls around Midtown Manhattan?

I'm starting to discriminate against companies that do NOT use UPS, USPS, or FedEx for "final delivery".

They may have their problems but these courier services are absolutely shite.

Or it suggests the pool of possible voters is smaller in congressional races and the same number of fraudulent votes has more impact because of it.

Makes sense. I bet the ballot harvesters make damn sure all the down ticked dems are marked too before submitting them. Also that shit in California where the seat got flipped after WEEKS of counting completely flew under the radar dispite how blatant it was. Please don't fuck up election reforms Republicans. I know it's a big ask not to be cucks, but just this once do something useful.

Amazon does not even ring my doorbell. They just drop off the package and I get a text with a picture.

in my case I don't have a bell and don't have texting on for it, but yeah I might get a thump on the door in passing as they drop it and keep walking, but that's about it outside of keeping an eye on the "your orders" page

This is the new meta porch pirates have been using for stealing packages.

Maybe where you live. Where I live, there was a Hispanic couple going around in an unmarked, windowless white van and they straight up went into people's yards and open garages to steal stuff. Local police are on the lookout now, but we have 100 officers in a city of 50,000 that bumps up against a bigger city that has been a dumping ground for illegals for the past 30 years.

I think that largely no one tried to steal the Presidential election. Kamala has no support even in her own party and after 4 years of Biden, Trump didn't seem like such a Nazi to the general public anymore. It's hard to take the hysterical "this could be the end of democracy!!" screeches seriously when the candidate saying it didn't even run a primary.

Now down-ballot races? The dems have motivation to flip as many of those as possible. Especially in California where no one will investigate it.

All they're doing is turning more and more people against them and putting bigger targets on themselves (in minecraft of course) which means that they have to spend more money to rig elections and considering the fact that they have just burned through $1.5 billion that's going to be hard especially since they're losing control over the money printers.
