I don’t use DoorDash but occasionally order from Taco Bell. Every time I order I watch the car arrive at Taco Bell and wait about 20 minutes before actually picking up my order and then delivering it.

Additionally I know UberEats used to (and maybe still does) offer cheaper delivery if you pick a restaurant another driver was already heading to. (I haven’t used UberEats in years because I found them less reliable.)

Ironically if a restaurant did all the deliveries themselves they would have all the information about how best to optimize delivery. Maybe all the delivery companies can find a way to share this information to minimize travel and maximize speed of delivery.

I’ve put a lot of hours into this game, but haven’t played in 8+ years so maybe it’s changed a lot. But! There is A LOT to explore and play and I suggest doing that first. But! Unless they’ve added a bunch of explainer gameplay/tips the you’ll need to eventually look up some stuff online.

You’ve basically described late night talk shows.

I bought Forza Horizon 4 on sale for $20 last year. I think it came with all the DLC or whatever. That seemed like a good price. I played a bunch and I’d say it was worth it. The game really pushes you to pay more money to buy more things, but I just ignored it.

Overall $20 felt right.

I’d buy Forza Horizon 6 or whatever for $20 in a few years.

I wish they were fuckin. Right now they’re a wet noodle.

Sure, but is this actually a good idea?

The argument would be that these “short form videos” improve discoverability. I can’t speak for Netflix (since I’m not subscribed), but I am subscribed to Disney+. I completely agree that the discoverability in the Disney+ app is bad. But I’m also subscribed to Hulu, which is now owned (fully) by Disney. The discoverability in Hulu is actually pretty good.

Everything that is “Disney+ Exclusive” is only available using Disney+. Everything that is “Hulu Exclusive” is available on both Hulu and Disney+. So Disney+ has everything I want, but the app sucks.

The plan is by the end of 2026 to turn down the Hulu app and only use the Disney+ app. So, is Disney improving the Disney+ app? Nope, they’re adding “Verts”.

This is what bothers me. If you have an interesting idea to improve your app, do that. If you’re just chasing the current flavor of the week, stop. Spend that time doing something useful.

Disney+ has “Verts”. It’s fucking ridiculous.

It’s wild to watch these companies chase after one another with no thought. Just “TikTok is popular! Can we be TikTok?!?!???”

You have a product. Do that product well. Fuck!
