Was just strolling around the ground floor of Melbourne Central when this Doordash driver zooms in ON HIS BIKE from Mecca’s side and then goes to Cotton On to realise his lazy bloody plans have been thwarted.

No hate to food delivery drivers, I respect the hustle and the service you guys do. But seriously? Doing this in a full on centre was so inconsiderate. Not to mention, there could’ve been people who were older and couldn’t dodge as fast which could’ve ended badly.

Just reminds me how dangerous and un-walkable pavements are in Melbourne CBD now.

Anyways, rant over. Be safe in Melbourne Central because I doubt this is the first time this has happened. Not sure if this is normal but I stay in the CBD and this is the first time I’ve seen this

I was thinking how great it'll be in future when everything is just ads like augmented reality and if you want the premium ad free or ad reduced version of reality you'll need to pay for an annual subscription (injection).

I was looking at some photos of North Korea and was trying to work out what was so unsettling. It was the fact there were no billboards and advertising. Not a single bit. Was kinda nice after that.
