Toyota didn’t start out making cars. Does that mean they shouldn’t have started making cars?

Yes, DoorDash got its start delivering food, but that doesn’t mean they are restricted to that permanently.

And yes, I recognize that electronics are expensive, but that’s why I said to press charges on the delivery driver. DoorDash & BestBuy didn’t steal the package, even if they are being lazy about their delivery protocol.

But…

If we have enough evidence of instances where DoorDash drivers steal with impunity… we should be able to start a class action lawsuit against DoorDash since they are basically being negligent.

Well BestBuy would be like 95% off the hook. You’re gonna just let Rick & the boys off the hook? Unless BestBuy is running an op with Rick & the boys, it’s Rick & the boys that stole your shit.

If it keeps happening, and BestBuy keeps using Rick & the boys, then they’d be 100% liable because of negligence.

I think it’s a balancing act. We definitely do it to an unhealthy degree currently, but we need to do it to some degree. It would be just as unhealthy for anyone to come into your house at any time because why not?

Kinda missed my point. It’s the driver’s choice to steal.

Some people are gonna be thieves even if you give them that help. Still others will take advantage of you for having the heart to help.

Some people are thieves no matter the socioeconomic factors.

You guys weren’t supposed to find my animal form.

Yeah, I definitely agree that they should be required to do the due diligence when it comes to hiring their delivery personnel.

I can definitely agree that BestBuy & DoorDash are on the chopping block for negligence, but they aren’t the ones who stole your laptop.

In a better, and perhaps idealistic, world DoorDash would be a perfectly acceptable & respectable option for BestBuy to contract for deliveries. And even in that better world, the driver is still the real criminal; fellow working class or not.

Justice should fuck everyone that needs to get fucked; whether they are a big fish or a small fish.

Yup. If I want to turn off my controller I have to hit what would be the Xbox button on an Xbox controller, and that also opens BPM. Really annoying.

I used to do Postmates, and I used to get these kinds of deliveries. I’m not trying to defend BestBuy or DoorDash. This is entirely on the driver. I never even thought about stealing people’s expensive electronics, and I would text or call the customer to ask where they wanted me to leave the package.

I would send the evidence to the police & file criminal charges against the driver.

Still, you should hassle the corpos, but don’t forget that the driver is the real criminal here.

The ones that created the government had to actually fight for their freedom. People became complacent afterwards, and seem to think that freedom is a given.

It reminds me of some quote “freedom isn’t owned, it’s rented, and rent is due everyday.”

Oops, my bad. Thanks. It’s been corrected.

Federated social media is decentralized, so one single jackass can’t control it completely.

Like, maybe Elon Musk buys pawb.social, he now controls pawb.social & can be a tyrant in pawb.social just like he has been with Twitter.

He still can’t control quokk.au, or lemmy.world, or feddit.org, or lemmy.ca, or lemmy.dbzer0.com, or lemmy.blahaj.zone, etc.

And in the extremely unlikely event that if Elon does manage to buy pawb.social, it is extremely likely that many lemmy servers would just defederate from pawb.social & leave pawb.social isolated from the rest of the fediverse.

Respect. But we don’t know each other, ok?

Well radio was originally mostly about advertising, and when TV came around it was just gonna be radio but with moving pictures! So yeah, it was about spreading more advertisements around to more people.

I wasn’t talking about the kidneys that time, more generally about others deciding who dies

Is there a Best of Lemmy community? Cause this belongs there.

Being social is being social. While I do think we’re not rats, lol, I do think we are both bound by the same laws of social dynamics. That’s why I’m seeing the similarities.

No, I think whenever it’s up to someone else, without my permission, it’s always bad.

Edit: as in I’d rather not have someone else choose when I die. That’s between me & physics or god or the universe or something that isn’t some other person.
