These pedestrians are way too deferential
I’m not even saying they should do anything to it. But the sidewalk is theirs. Make it maneuver around you

Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:
Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

79. Boba Fett was always a chump. The first time we see him, Vader yells at him for being bad at his job, and the last time we see him (in the original trilogy), he’s knocked into a man-eating sandpit by a fully Mr. Magooed Han Solo. The funny thing about him is he’s a guy in cool armor who sucks.
