@llama: Ehh most people are not aware of how they come off or how selfish they really are. I think if you are heating up a metaphorical crack pipe of convenience filled with gluttony and sloth, the majority of the people you attract are going to be like that. I hope RFK bans doordash/grubhub/uber eats etc. I have good stories from when I did that shit and I have the worst. The biking DC guy honestly gets average people. The average person just sucks.
