Zoe Weissman came to Brown from Parkland, Florida,
where she was a student at the middle school adjacent to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
during the mass shooting that occurred there in 2018.
“Because I’ve already processed all the grief and the sadness before,”
says Weissman about surviving a second school shooting in her young life,
“my most predominant emotion right now is, honestly, anger …
because we are the only country where this happens, a…

Am I reading "Being and Nothingness" by Jean-Paul Sartre?
Yes. Because everyone dies. You, me, everyone, and everything we ever cared about. So why should you lose sleep over what happens or what anyone thinks, when the ending is already written?
When nothing has inherent meaning, I might as well understand why.

There exists the concept of "Twin Films".
Movies that were released around the same time with similar theme ("Armageddon"/"Deep Impact" - "Bugs Life"/"Antz")
Sometimes this happens on Youtube as well.
With just a couple days apart, Strange Aeons and Nick Robinson released a video on "Rawr XD" and "XD".
Love it when that happens.

For my birthday today… I deleted the Facebook account I created in September to access Marketplace. It served its purpose. I was going to sell other things but never got around to it. Then friends started requesting to be friends. It was awkward. I didn’t accept any requests and even made one post on my profile that I wouldn’t be friending anyone.. that it was only for Marketplace. People still requested…
Then a colleague/friend passed away and I missed an RSVP because someone sent me the message on FB rather than real life even though we weren’t FB connected and hadn’t communicated on there for years. This is what happens when people treat FB like the entirety of “the internet” and “communication”. I have a website with my name and phone! My address is not hard to search. Email!?
I was angry and sad about that. 😢
So ya… if I do the Marketplace thing again I’ll just make a temp account and delete it after use, like a single use plastic bag to pick up dog poop. 💩 🤣
In the meantime I’ll keep focusing on good people here on the #opensocialweb… and also connecting with people in real life.
Most of the 48 years I have spent on this earth have been without Facebook. I’ll manage :)

Door Dasher Life Fun Facts: This might be useful to think of when you're rating your Dasher.... Who's at fault in this situation?
Let's say I accept an offer for McDonalds.
I head straight there... pull up to the store, and as I walk in the app buzzes again with a 2nd order for the same McDs.
Naturally, I accept. (not accepting reduces my Acceptance rate and potentially my ability to get new offers).
Now I have two orders at the same place! Great! Efficient!
The first order comes up quickly, I put it in my bag, 'pick it up' in the app, and wait for the 2nd order.
Now the fun begins. The restaurant says the 2nd order will be 10 minutes beyond the pickup time. I notify the app, and both customers of the wait... and I wait... and wait... if I remove the 2nd order from my app it affects my completion rate *and* means the customer has to wait for another dasher to come along.
Eventually the 2nd order is ready and I head out to make the deliveries. Both of course now late.. the first potentially cold (even in an insulated bag) *and* late.
In addition, sometimes, often a day or two later, the dasher will receive a “Contract Violation” for the lateness. 3 Contract Violations in a short period and you can be deactivated.
So... there ya go. It happens. I'm never sure what the best course of action is... unless both orders are immediately ready, which you can never predict, someone will end up losing; the store, customer, dasher, or a mix of all three.

P.S. It's worth noting that Door Dash is the only service I know of that is this strict. Uber Eats does not have mechanisms like this (at least in my experience). Never used Skip, so can't say on that.
