I tried to order Grubhub tonight after two attempts but they cancelled for no reason.

Robots are taking over the world I guess, but they can't deliver to suburban NJ at 9pm despite being open, so in the meantime I'll cook some ground beef, spices, and greens. It's healthier than the Indian curry I ordered on the first try and Chipotle I ordred on the second.

Somewhat relatedly; I use the word "retard" in my sci fi manuscript one time. There's one character that uses that term, while others do not.

Because decades in the future, I do think someone who is impatient will look around and be like, "this is kind of retarded."

Enjoy your meal Lyn 😋

Oh, we aren't supposed to do that now? 🤭

Sounds like a good dinner anyway

Ground beef was your destiny. Can’t fight fate.

I canceled every delivery service out of this same frustration over a year ago. Definitely a net positive.

There will be one person that does that, and that person would be me.

it’s like the old saying, if at first you don’t succeed, ground beef

DoorDash works great

Driving in jersey is ALMOST worse than Massachusetts

Take back the words... retard just means slow.

The character is immature and doesn’t realize this. She uses it inappropriately.

And yet if she found this out, she would make sure to say it twice. 😈

I'm happy to see you writing... I can tell you enjoy it and are passionate about it. Peace to you.

the whole concept of banned words is so annoying. It gets even worse when it depends on the identity of the speaker. I can’t figure out what the problem is with sentences like: „People are offended when they are called retarded faggot nigger nazi kike“

Semi-related

Food delivery went to shit with grubhub, DoorDash etc

Was much better when places did deliveries themselves. Now there always a scapegoat if there’s a mistake. “Wasn’t us, was DoorDash.” “Wasn’t us, restaurant made your food wrong”

watched eurotrip again today.

someone said "retardo".

so refreshing

I'm using this word also from time to time and i need to get rid of it. But calling a machine retarded, might be good for us (humans). Don't know, need to think longer if we need a behavior codex what to say and what not to say to AI (robots, agents) at the end they will end up copying our language, and call all of us retarded (they most likely think that already).

GrubHub is retarded.

My recipe for lazy meatballs:

1. set oven to 350F

2. to 1lb grass fed ground beef add sea salt, pepper, onion powder

3. scoop and roll into little balls (I use a melon baller)

4. bake for around 20 mins

I like em with ketchup (if you want to get fancy top with quality tomato sauce, EVO, and grated parmigiano)

Yes they also probably won’t be so politically correct then either
