Actually, slaves. We are held back by those in power, ignored, taught to hate those different than ourselves, paid just enough to survive and abused. We know this and we’re too scared to do anything about it because any fight we give needs us all, or we risk those in power taking away those few things or placing us in prison.
Uber has criminal background checks too. In fact, they take their policy very seriously. If you find you get into an uber and your driver is Paul, but it should have been Sara… (no this has never happened to me, ever…). You just call the safety line, or i also think there’s an in-app function.
Still supporting cabs first, but i felt it needed to be clarified.
Most taxis have that now too, and you can ask for the flat rate too. most drivers will quote you on longer trips exactly the price.
Way back in 2009 or so… my uber/taxi story. So I land in Newark, NJ and try to catch a cab and it’s $50 to go to the hotel on the other side of airport because we traverse 3 zones (and they charged by zone). Uber was $11. See, when Uber came out it was like a gamified systems and almost always cheaper. Drivers were getting crazy perks too, i swear one guy in seattle said he was banking north of 2k a day just back and forth to the airport. This was the only time in Uber’s history where a normal human could grind and make a nice pay with some added personal risk. I was all for it because in cities like Newark, unions control the politics and the average traveler (in this case, me) gets screwed in the name of “fairness”.
Unions are great, but not when they use that same political power to squeeze regular people for profits by controlling the pricing and forcing zones. I understand why they said they put that in place (fair competition), but in this case we all know it’s about profits first, better working for taxi drivers, second. Does that mean i love uber now? Hell no, they need a union (yep, i agree), but uber broke a broken system and made taxi companies be competitive. I can now open up several apps and see which is cheaper and choose accordingly (and these last 2 years it’s been cabs).
Sorry, SCI level 2 required. Heh

I’m never ashamed of what books I read, especially since they are on a kindle and no one ever looks at the title. Besides, you’re just as likely to find LOTR, Dune, Foundations, pretty much anything from Dumas, among others on my kindle. If i’m reading books that are well written, have a decent plot and make me never want to put the book down, then who the fuck cares that I’m reading hunger games, harry potter or the golden compass… not any friend i’d want to keep.
Its the same with movies, though i find those less compelling overall. But damn if i’m not going to go see any new finding nemo or minions movie.
I have Levis 501 classics, from 1993 that I wear often. I’m tired of fashion dictating what i’m supposed to wear. Though, i do like me some dress chinos, BUT NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE COOL…. Damn comfy.
Let me fix that for you doc: Signs you shouldn’t eat at a restaurant because it’s likely unsafe, getting banned from entering because you’re wearing a mask.
As a recently single guy with a very cute wing dog, I know this conversation well. Though, my pups has been fairly spot on with bad humans, so maybe there’s something there. 2 weeks back I took her on my 3rd date with this lady and my pupper low key growled at her. 8lbs Maltese who loves nearly every human she can lick… growled. I of course chastised her for the behavior, but she stayed clear of the lady all night.
2 dates later my lady friend was showing some red flags and I called it quits right then. The text I got after was toxic.
So listen to your dogs people.
I’d prefer a 70% tax on billionaires, but I’d settle for 50% for anything above 5million. Take Elon for example, the guy makes an estimated $50,000USD per minute. Yes folks, the guy makes more per minute than the average American does in a year.
prove to me that billionaires should exist. Tax them accordingly.
In what area of the USA do you live where the average american knows what a meter is. You’ll get some nonsense like “about 3 feet”, maybe.
Sounds like you are either not the target market or have no idea how to use LinkedIn. Properly used, you as a candidate have an arsenal of info you wouldn’t otherwise have, and the same for the company who can see your posts, your connections, your job history. It’s professional Facebook, all the grownups use it and it’s not just about connecting with people you don’t care about.
This is about building connections you can use later in life. Trust me, connect with that fuckwit John from sales, cause in 5 years he’ll be the guy that can connect you with the recruiter at the company you’ve applied with. You don’t need to like him or be best friends. This is business, not the playground.
I can assure you the jan6 criminals thought they were fighting for the good of the planet. I heard nothing of the changes they “almost” made and how their innocence was going to win out. Coworkers are fuckheads, had zero clue.
It’s all about the story and how it’s told. They chose to believe, poorly.
I’m lucky enough to have a yard, but my dog knows when it’s past time to go for her walk and she’ll stare at me until I move. Morning walks right now mean I get up earlier, so she can have more sniff time.
When I travel with my pups, I use treats. She poops, gets treats. By the 3rd day, she’s heading straight to the same spot to poop real fast so she gets a treat. Give that a go.
My dog does this but also shows me her butt, which is an indicator for “come chase me dad”. Its cute, until its not. Heh
Good catch and I agree. Once my ex wife took care of herself properly, it was a positive experience for us both.
This district is known for its republican voting. There’s a chance the challenger could win, but we would need a very strong turnout in a Trump crazy district.
