  • In my neck of the (american) woods, it usually is “free delivery! No fees if your meal is $15 or more!” according to their ads, but then they artifically raise the menu prices in the app. A meal might cost you $12 with tax at a burger place near me, but on ubereats / doordash that same meal is $19 because they raised the menu price. That way when you go to pay, it says there was “no extra fee”.




  • Depending on your state they can also purge the voter rolls and just unregister whomever they want at their whim. Ive had family members and friends get purged and, somehow, the notice that they were purged just magically never showed up in the mail, so they would go to vote and be sent away at the polls. As a result I have to manually recheck my registration before every single election. Each state is totally and completely different in this regard, you cant take any assumption from your home state and extrapolate it to others.




  • I agree careers get ruined more often over silly things now, but its not anywhere close to a modern issue. People have been getting some form of “cancelled” for pretty much all of time, sometimes for a good reason and sometimes for a bad reason. If you really live your life in constant terror over the idea, maybe you should become self-sufficient and move off the grid. Thats kinda the only solution to the problem. People are social animals and social animals sometimes make stupid social decisions such as “cancelling” one another and its just kinda unavoidable.



  • Theoretically though, if youre already dead, would it even matter? To me, what youre describing would be the same as if, say, your grandkids or whatever descendants ended up finding a photoalbum filled with pics of you and letters you wrote to friends and family and such. There would be no outside context from you but it could still be a nice heirloom for your grandkids/great grandkids to remember you by and learn a bit about what type of person you were.
