Sure thing, pimp.

I used to do that but I figured out it was a bit easier for me to just avoid them altogether, which I know is not possible for a lot of people.

Maybe cost is a better word. Although there are risks to allowing companies to use your data, especially since right now they are selling the data to companies that are trying to make money off of you, like say car insurance.

I will say thats more an argument for blocking out all types of tracking possible, rather than saying a single one is bad on its own. One place selling your data isnt actually that bad, its when those single nodes are so numerous that you can actually map out what someone does if you chain them together.

Its up to you if you are okay with that in your life though.

Lol you accept the risks, all is well!

8ts not about being mad its about where you spend your money. I don’t give businesses my money if they participate in deceptive practices. Its possible dominoes doesn’t sell data though so you maybe got me there.

Its not the tip they wouldn’t like, its the pity. You don’t need to pity random strangers, you have no idea how their life is going.

That’s a good point, thanks for adding!

Its just awfully hard to make assumptions either way, I think is where I’m getting hung up. I could even see some people being upset that you pity them without actual reason to.

I’m not sure if its better to assume nothing or to pick a path really though.

I am a parent and have a toddler and a preteen, and yes you let your daughter boss you around in this instance. They won’t starve to death and you don’t need to punish them either. Its their choice to participate with the family in meal times. Its not reasonable that everyone gets exactly what they want when they want it and its wrong to give in to those types of attitudes. Kids can compromise, and its funny how the food becomes magically appetizing an hour later when their stomach is growling.

Yes parenting is hard, they are emotional terrorists, but you are implying you have no choice in the matter. I’m not saying you made a bad decision either, just blaming the kid for it is problematic.

I’m not so sure we should lump in the pizza driver with all the other delivery drivers. Generally being a pizza delivery person is a decent first job and they usually work in the store too, and receive an hourly wage.

Not to say you shouldnt tip them, just not out of guilt.

Just another company thats created two price levels:

1. Pay full price and dont use the app
2. Use the app and always ALWAYS get a discount, but we will partner with amazon and google to gather and sell your data to make up the costs of the discounts.

I know 2 is preferable to some but I’m against it purely because of how deceptive it is, so I’m stuck with option 1.

I dont think thats what happened to the OP here, but just wanted to add why the cheaper option isnt always better.

I agree with this, they made some pretty poor choices and then explained them away by saying they had no choice. The bread was unnecessary, and yes I have kids too. A very picky toddler in fact. You never have to spend a ton on food, they brow beat you because it works, not because they won’t actually eat anything else.

Its still funny to me that kids are still tricking their parents into thinking they will starve to death if they don’t get exactly the food they ask for.

This poster wanted pizza, and had expectations of it that weren’t met, but she didn’t have to do it, it wasn’t forced. I think even your example via delivery with little ceasars would make more sense. Or just don’t buy pizza if there’s only expensive pizza near you. Pizza has always been a pricey dinner, only offset by the quantity of food just barely.

Around us, taco bell can be a great deal (and offers a vegan menu to an extent) as well but really this is more about not having enough time or know-how to reduce costs by cooking simple foods at home. A pack of taco tortillas, rice, beans, and vegetables to mix in is not expensive and makes a ton of food.

Bringing up gamers telling each other to kill themselves (sometimes genuinely, although they wouldn’t admit they were actually that angry) is not the gotcha you think it is.

Why dont you engage with what the person you are replying to is actually saying instead of grasping at straws.

Good to know, thank you for sharing!

Closest I ever got to construction work like that was working for about a year as a residential painter, and sometimes would work alongside other contractors.

I really need to make woodworking/carpentry my next thing to learn about, plenty of places in my house could use the work.

I dont really have a leg in this race, it does seem like throughout this thread you do showcase a lot of working knowledge.

Gotta say its confusing figuring out what the actual issue here is in coming to an understanding.

Can I just ask for clarification?

You: here is furring strips being used as support, with a screenshot

Other Poster: the things you are referring to as furring strips, are actually not furring strips

You: Thats what I said in the first post!

Aren’t you agreeing here that you are mistaken on what a furring strip is?
