  • The fact that they would actually show up.

    unless you see the uber car circling around you on the map, then canceling the ride and cashing in the “cancelation fee”

    The dispatcher would tell you someone will be there in 20 minutes and, if you were lucky, somebody might show up in 45. Before Uber, there was more than one occasion where I ended up stranded downtown until 4 or 5am after the bars had closed at 3:00.

    yeah, but this is not an invention of uber. it is just that we got the to point where technology allowed what was not possible before. yes, uber was faster to adapt it than traditional taxi industry, but they are not doing it for your blue eyes, they are doing it for profit and they do lot of shady stuff to achieve it.








  • the truth must be told: Firefox is not as optimized as Chrome

    what are you talking about? my desktop pc is amd fx4300. definition of old and subpar - https://i.imgur.com/WBm5Ub1.png - and i have 313 open tabs right now.

    granted, that is slightly more affected by memory, before i updated from 8 to 32 gb recently, it was admittedly slightly more sluggish.

    but at the same time normal people don’t really have 300 open tabs at once and also you have to ask what is the threshold where you are willing to sacrifice your privacy for slight speed increase.

    do you have some numbers to support that speed difference, or is it just your feeling, or anecdote that is being passed around and everyone repeats it and everyone believes it, because everyone says so?



  • Do you seriously believe it is reasonable for someone to get 20 years in prison for a few flecks of weed

    i don’t.

    where is this happening? and was harris prosecuting in place where this is happening? and why did you chose her as the “primary reason”? why not the arresting officers or judge? and why not the stupid decision to carry a weed when it is punishable by 20 years in prison?

    That also doesn’t cover the police’s long standing tradition of making up shit.

    and how is that the prosecutor’s fault?

    Also also legality =/= morality

    yeah… and?

    you are just cherry-picking random unconnected trivia that doesn’t even support your conclusion.
