  • Correction: The service I referred to was renamed to Ober One.

    Kinda. Basically you pay for occasional coupons and credits on UberEats, and a (5%) discount for every Uber ride.

    For 70 MNX (~3.5 USD) a month there is no delivery fee on anything you order. It’s obvious their business model is to charge an obscene fee to then roll out a “better” option. But hey, it’s been convenient nonetheless.

    I end up ordering from the same few places when I’m on my lowest, so their system usually gives me 100-200 MXN (~5-10 USD) discounts on those specific restaurants. The subtotal almost never exceeds 600 MXN (~30 USD).

    Succinctly, it’s not free free. It’s a 5% discount on Uber rides, and a variable 15-30% discount for two orders a month.


  • Exactly! That, and I can tweak my writing to see if it conveys what I want. I cannot just hit ctrl+z when I’m talking.

    Most times I feel I’m having these galaxy-brain thoughts but they come across as pea-brain sentences when trying to articulate them (how long is long enough for a rant/explanation?). Going meta has also not gone well for me. By that I mean discussing about how we’re discussing the topic at hand. It seems to be shrugged off as a tangent or distraction, when I believe it’s a good baseline for the current and future conversations I might have with the person.

    Discourse online is better suited for the exchanges I like to have with others (such as the folks on this very thread), because arguments can be better fleshed out and people are less afraid to share their rationale. Ideas and perspectives can clash, but it’s not necessarily bad. Just like peer review in science papers.
