My favorite example of this is Joy Division. They’re the band with that cool white-on-black ridge line plot shirt. If you haven’t listened to their music before, go check it out. You probably won’t like it very much. I don’t know how many r

Question for everyone: Are you using delivery services regularly? How many times per week? Do you care about the cost? I understand it’s popular, but I don’t use it and the people around me don’t really use it, so I feel out of touch with r
