So, I'm still doing GrubHub delivery, which remains as exhausting and soul-crushing as usual (if not moreso sometimes, given the way their tech will now take jobs away while I'm stuck in traffic with no options!)

Fuck it. Here’s a thesis in two parts that literally nobody will like, ‘cause y’all fucking cowards.
