dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I'm shocked we don't see more cases of delivery drivers being shot by the people they're delivering to

Isn't delivery driver in the top 10 most dangerous jobs in the US? I'm pretty sure cop doesn't even make top 10 lmao

Ah fuck I forgot about that, so it's actually just a case of it being so normalized that it barely makes the news agony-deep

[–] context@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

no, it's a dangerous job because of all the long hours driving around. it's the deadly car accidents that are normalized, in this case.

I suspect it's less dangerous now because everything is bought digitally. One reason for delivery drivers getting murdered is they often had large amounts of cash on them, but were in isolated areas. This was especially true if they were making multiple deliveries, going from one location to the next.

I think it's mostly because of traffic accidents, not violence.

Yah. I was talking about historically like back in the '80s. Cab drivers in NYC were constantly getting robbed, too.
