  1. True. They are. One thing I have noticed is that the delivery guys aren't usually particularly fat themselves. Being a bit active goes a long way. I am not sure if I have ever seen an obese food delivery guy. They don't seem to get high on their own supply
  2. I am 38 years old. Are you denying completely that there are numbers of ppl sitting at home, getting fat and even more lazy, by paying someone to deliver fast food to them? I remember hearing a news story in the 1990's about a guy who wanted to pay Mcdonalds to deliver Big Macs to his back yard. And everyone thought it was insane. Does anyone else remember this ?Now it is mainstream.
  3. You were going out anyway. It made no sense to get a quarter pounder delivered.
  4. I have less of an issue with ordering from fancy restaurants. But there's some problems with that too. The point of eating out is to you know.... eat out. Get changed and go to the restaurant and enjoy the setting and the experience. Or is that not a thing anymore ? You order lobster and get it delivered on the back of a Honda Click and sit there at your house in your pajama pants and eat ? This is after paying more to get it delivered. Don't you want to put on some better cloths and do some ppl watching and go for a drive and get away a bit ? With food apps, thats all out of the window. I just dont see the point.
  5. Pizza is different because you order the pizza and have to wait for your pizza to be baked. Fast food burgers are made on an assembly line and a pre made and meant to be served asap. And I also said that there's a social aspect to pizza that doesn't exist with burgers and fries. I cant see how ordering Mcdonalds to your door is anything but laziness of the worst kind. You presumably have a stove and/or a microwave at home. You should have a stock of food at home. If you don't feel like making anything, throw a Mac N cheese cup in the microwave. Or a Stouffer crustini in the microwave. The technology has improved with these things. They come out of the microwave crispy. Its not a sloppy hot mess like a pizza pop from 2001. There is lots of different products like this that you should have a stock of for those times when you don't feel like making something. It is right there. It is cheaper , faster and you aren't paying someone to bring it to you. Home economics 101.
  6. Most recent one happened a month ago just from a quick search https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/passenger-falls-10th-deck-royal-caribbean-cruise-ship-rcna91658
  7. It wasn't meant to be a dig at the delivery guys. But some of them could be criminals. And you are inviting these guys to your house because you really needed that Big Mac and large fries ? And again, pizza is just different. Ordering pizza has always been seen as a nice indulgence and social experience. Usually it is being shared by a group of people. Whether that is family or friends.
  8. Sad situation. Women go insane sometimes and if the guy is a bit of a loose cannon himself, this is the result. It happens on cruise ships a lot too.
  9. Yeah. Its not like the delivery is free. Check out this article. It looks like the fees are lower when you spend more. So the whole incentive structure is to get you to eat more. Being almost 40 years old, I order fairly small portions. Because I have heard that you gain wait a lot easier as you hit 40. I usually try and spend under $8 USD for a meal. Plus it is fun to find the best deals. https://www.cnet.com/home/kitchen-and-household/cheapest-delivery-app-for-2023/ Ordering takeout or delivery is an easy habit to fall into. It's also an expensive one, but you can shave a little money off your monthly total by choosing the cheapest food delivery app. Food delivery apps are plentiful in 2023, but each has its own pricing, fees and other nuances that make some cheaper than others. As it turns out, how large or small an order you place might dictate which app is cheapest between the three biggest players: Grubhub, DoorDash and Uber Eats. Grubhub is the cheapest for orders of around $50 For three food orders between $20 and $80, Grubhub had the cheapest average totals. For orders of around $50, it was the lowest cost by a healthy margin.
  10. Fast food at the mall ? How is that not one of the most appropriate places for fast food ? You are away from your dwelling. And I indulge in it when I am at the mall. Plus it gives you the opportunity to walk a meal off.
  11. Well if you already have limited mobility, ordering double quarter pounders to your couch certainly isn't going to help.
  12. Just common sense. It is a fact. Ordering Big Macs to your door is like drinking hard liquor at 8 am. Sure, you can do it. But it is stupidity.
  13. Pizza delivery has always been a custom and has been happening for decades. Nothing new about it. That is because it takes time to make the pizza. So you have to wait 15- 30 minutes minimum. Mcdonalds is not the same as pizza.
  14. Fast food is intended for when you are on the road already. Getting it yourself is the wrong move too. But paying someone to make the wrong move and preventing yourself from at least walking to your car or motorbike and back is even worse
  15. Some veggies just for the hell of it but no. It would really be hilarious if you are implying that fast food delivery is an extension of the agricultural revolution.
  16. Umm I only eat fast food when I am in travel. That is what it is intended for. Ordering fast food to your door is terrible home economics.
  17. Low quality food delivered by low quality people to low quality consumers. Fast food was intended to be when you are in travel. You drive through or stop for something to eat when time was tight. But now people are paying someone to deliver food to them so that they can sit on their behinds and gain more weight. Do you just leave the door unlocked so your grubby delivery guy can just hand it to you when you're on the couch ? Plus now when I am in line at some fast food joint, I have to wait for these delivery idiots with their grubby bags to get out of the way. And they usually take big orders of food with them. There should be a diabetes tax when using these delivery apps. Are these people not aware of the concept of walking a meal off ? I am not a health nut in the slightest. But I probably am compared to the ppl that use these apps. Anyway, who agrees ?
  18. I am just doing some searches about the fathers net worth and estimates are 2-5 million USD. I thought it would be a lot more than that. It could be, he is just good at covering it up. Sometimes these net worth estimates are way off. The dad is only 48. So he aint that old. Someone with a net worth like this could still probably get access to double that. https://www.fresherslive.com/latest/articles/rodolfo-sancho-net-worth-in-2023-how-rich-is-he-now-1555162459
  19. It is never certain how money or fame works in these cases. Sometimes it isn't corruption per se. It is just about finding the most expensive and famous lawyer. A judge who worked his way up the career ladder could lose it all if he takes a simple bribe. The family of the victim could follow it and make a scandal out of it. But I guess they could be compensated too. I guess if you get everyone in a room and start writing big checks, it could be done. 3 million USD for the victims kin, 3 million for the judge, 500k for some underlings that were present.
  20. You should start a Youtube channel. I thought Jomtien was supposed to be higher class than Pattaya beach. Yet they have ladyboy volleyball at 7 am ?
  21. Staying up all night is for idiots. What do you think is keeping them up all night ? Coffee ? I guess if its late shift workers or something its fine. But anyone who's dancing at 7:00 am is on drugs
  22. Where is the footage ? Nothing on Youtube or Twitter .. <deleted> I was going to say, if it was just a private boat letting her buck then whats the harm. But these idiots had passengers and no life jackets ? Common
  23. Work sucks. Imagine being arrested for working.
  24. I just wonder how many get away with it. When I see those sharp dressed NIgerian guys with the fancy motorbikes in Pattaya, I just wonder how they make their $$
  25. But people are ignorant that rip currents exist. They think that the flags are there just to warn novices of the waves. It ain't their first wavy beach. So they go for it. To be cautious , they find a calmer spot to go in. Which is exactly where the rip current is. I swam in beaches in the Mediterranean, Mexico and Canada. Some that get wavy af. But I never heard of rip currents till I got to Phuket. Im not sure about Jomtien or Wongamat but I dont recall seeing anything about them in Pattaya beach either
