#not getting paid enough

i think there’s something to be said about how the gig economy makes things ostensibly more convenient but also worse. and not just like, doordash guys take too long to get to you so your food is cold. but because the business model is centered around a million people doing work without any familiarity with what theyre doing and decentralized from the businesses they’re working with, you get service that’s being reinvented from scratch every time it’s purchased.

it happens all the time that I’ll order an uber and when they pick me up, they’ll just stop in the middle of the street with their hazards on, making me dodge traffic to get to them and pissing off the cars around them. and then I’ll get in the car and chat with the driver and find out they’re actually from two counties over and they’ve never driven here before, so they don’t know where parking is or whether they’re heading to a wide open parking lot or a busy downtown. and then you start to realize that they’re not being a dick, they’re just given as little information as possible every time they pick up a ride so they have to just guess how and where to pick up a passenger. and since they’re paid by ride, they’re incentivized to pick you up as fast as possible. and all the people who cared about finding a safe place to pick you up quit the app or stopped doing that so all you’re left with is the pissed off cockroach motherfuckers.

and then you see that this happens with every fucking app. doordash sucks because you pay 8 million dollars for delivery and you still have to hike half a mile to find the guy because he got lost in your apartment complex. Instacart sucks because the guy picking your groceries couldn’t care less about getting ripe fruit and replaces your heavy cream with shaving cream. customer support for all this sucks because the guy helping you can’t do anything more than offer you $5 credit, beg for your forgiveness, and hope you get out of the queue fast enough for him to go to the bathroom. because all of them aren’t given enough time to do a good job or enough money to care.

and every time a gig worker makes the experience suck for you, it’s a rational decision. they’re evaluating the money they’re being paid and if it’s worth getting paid less to do a good job, and correctly deciding that it isn’t. so you can’t even get mad, because you’d do it too. and so the company manages to pass on its race to the bottom to its lowest-paid employees.

The family curse.

[arkangelo-7]

Okay, but, how does Batman deal with swear words? The short answer is that he doesn’t. Bruce is the Expert in pretending that he Didn’t Hear That.

Dick knows more curse words in more languages then you can imagine. He grew up in a multinational circus—he has heard it all. For the longest time he could get away with saying some pretty explicit shit simple because Bruce had no idea what the fuck he was saying. By the time Bruce put two and two together, he was a little embarrassed he’d let it go on so long, so he just decided it Wasn’t His Problem and continued to ignore it. Nowadays, Dick has mostly grown out of the swearing, and when he does swear it is most always in English.

Jason… holy shit, Jason can swear. He might not know how to say “motherfucker” in twelve different languages like Dick, but he grew up in Park Row, so he’s learned how to get creative. In his Robin days he was know to distract criminals with his impressively long spiels of insults and curse words—and again, Bruce ignored it because he figured it wasn’t all the different from what he’d left Dick get away with. It was up to Alfred to inform Jason that cursing out a criminal is acceptable but cursing out that annoying lady from the gala is most certainly not. (Steph, who came from a similar background to Jason, has pretty much the same experience.)

Tim knows how to curse but doesn’t do it often. Isaw a post once about how he picked up a bunch of swear words from both Dick and Jason, and I internalized that, so I definitely believe he curses creatively and in multiple different languages—though he’s good at keeping it to himself when Bruce is around. He realized early on that when he cursed it the field, it reminded Bruce of Jason, which was in no way conductive. So he doesn’t curse.

I have a feeling that Talia was like an Almond Mom but on steroids, so she definitely did not allow Damian to curse. Nonetheless he picked some words up, and occasionally will shout something in Arabic or Chinese when he’s particularly irritated.

Cass exclusively flips people off. Why use words when her middle finger can convey the same message?

Bruce: *Watching the news* -a group of two adults, four teenagers and a child were seen wreaking havoc and destruction in-

Bruce: *Feeling a headache coming* Please don't say Gotham, please don't say Gotham. Please don't say they are children, please don't say they are my children

News: -Central city authorities have not yet discovered their identities but are working for-

Bruce: *Completely relieved* Not my circus, not my monkeys.

*Batkids appearing at the bottom of the screen*

Tim: Okay, I don't want to scare anyone but there is an 80% chance this thing will explode.

Dick: Considering everything we did today, this actually seems pretty minor to me.

Jason: Only 80%? Did you hear that, NOT TODAY, SATAN!!

Damian: *Talking on the phone before hanging up and turning to Jason* Satan says he's very offended and would never bother dealing with people like you, Todd.

Duke: I have some questions about the monster trucks we sunk.

Steph: You're talking about the monster trucks we sunk in Gotham harbor? or the monster trucks we crashed in Metropolis?

Duke: I don't remember crashing monster trucks in Metropolis.

Tim: Of course not, you were too busy trying to stop the fire you started a few streets down.

Duke: Oh yes, I remember that. My mistake.

Damian: Honestly Thomas, I would expect this elderly behavior from Grayson, not you.

Dick: *Gasp* Elderly behavior?? Lil'D I'm not that old, plus you're supposed to be on my side!!

Jason: Sorry Dickhead, but demon brat is right.

Cass: *Appearing out of nowhere and pointing at the abandoned building behind they* Boom

Steph: What?

*the building explodes*

Cass: 🙂👍

Dick: Oh my god, Bruce is going to kill us. Run, guys, run.

Jason: You heard the man. WITHDRAWAL!!

*The transmission is cut off*

Bruce: ...

Bruce: *In collapse* My circus, my monkeys. My circus, my monkeys.
