It’s cheap and reliable. If I go into a McDonalds, I know exactly what I’m in for in terms of speed, service and taste. And so it’s a known value.
If I go to a restaurant? Results vary, and a high price isn’t a guarantee of high quality.

Yeah, you already know what you're getting yourself into with chain fast food restaurants. My wife and I tried ubereats once and there were a lot of restaurants in the area that it brought up that we had no idea existed. The problem is all we could go off of was their ratings on the app. Safe to say we didn't order from any of them and stopped bothering with ubereats.

it is mental - I remember it being drummed into everyone. Now you get a note on the intranet about being generically careful, like everyone just shrugged shoulders and gave up. I thought for a moment how social media was exploited in the current war int he East would make people pay attention. A few more intranet articles is all and some challenge coins. Nuts.

Now you have MOD and command wondering about security leaks. You would think with what's happening in eastern Europe with disinformation etc, not to mention satellite tracking picking up communications more care would be taken but apparently not.

I seriously prefer walking through a storm before giving racketeering like that so much as a penny - and have done so.
The few times we use doordash or uber eats or whatever the heck, is also the few times we don't get a local mom and pop restaurant. The gakky delivery services can gouge panda express or Chipotle for all I care, but I won't do that to one of our many local eateries.
I'll never understand this take.
You using the "gakky delivery service" on a franchise doesn't magically make it so that the person driving for said delivery service is suddenly getting treated well.
They're just getting screwed by the crummy delivery service instead of a big company.
Basically this: it's well established through many many articles that mom and pop restaurants get a raw deal. One pizza shop actually LOST money per order, depending on what a given customer ordered. . So, by using only mainline big corporate chain restaurants, I'm not screwing over the mom and pop shop. See, IDGAF if Panda Express "loses" money on my order. I DO care if "Yummy Teriyaki and Sushi" makes money off of me ordering the food they offer.
The driver, at the end of the day made the choice to drive for whatever delivery service it is. I have zero sympathy on that specific aspect of it. That said, whenever we do go this route, we DO tip pretty damn well. And if other people's tipping isn't enough for the driver, well. . . it does still have a stigma/view of being a side gig, and I feel I've done my bit for the driver.

Thankfully it’s now payday, so have revived my YouTube premium.
No more adverts for products I have no use for set to obnoxious music.

Another grump?
Not only has Den of Geek really gone downhill when it comes to content? Rather Irritatingly Every Headline Is Fully Capitalised.
No Really It’s All Of Them. Every Single One.
As if they’ve given up pretending it’s not just a collection of click bait hot takes and drivel, with the occasional dash of “insight” which everyone knew anyway. Like “Robocop Is Actually A Satire Aren’t I Clever”.
Time was you could get some fun movie recommendations and articles. But not anymore.

For something different but I guess I have the right people here to get the necessary information
I need a hobby account on facebook as some projects are going to use FB messenger and I don't want to drop out but neither want my real name there
so of course a dedicated email and some kind of name but what else is needed as the first time I tried I just get a "not a real name" notification

FB has shadow accounts of everyone they got data from regardless of if that person has actually FB especially from databrookers.
Meaning they can filter you out pretty accuratly.
