Someone trying to sell you a job, that’s interesting. I wonder if they do that at certain times of the year places. I imagine you need a lot more Uber drivers in specific areas for events. Like if Comicon is happening, you suddenly have hundreds of thousands of people coming to the area that will spike the number of people needing rides. I assume the same happens with the Superbowl, Mardi Gras, soon to be the World Cup, etc.

Some people just want to believe I guess. Like they could start pushing lies that trump cured cancer and there would be some people that believed it with no credible evidence even as they died from cancer. The media would spin words to make it not sound like complete fabrication but rather everyone being misdiagnosed, and then appease some moderates by stating cancers are all different issues really, so they don’t really have cancer but a more acutely defined illness and at the end of the day 30% of Americans would answer polls that Trump cured cancer, 30% say he didn’t cure cancer and 40% didn’t know how they felt or if their head was infact in their ass at that very moment. Because yes, several of them look around and only see shit.

White? Or is it the background for the time left in the quarter you meant? The scores appear to be white on blue and white on black. Not sure why they did the WNBA logo to be on orange though. The shot clock being on red makes sense to me as it is the “imminent danger”. (Probably could just do black on white for it though)

Not to mention what good does it do. China is moving to electric vehicles, and solar power. Sure you’ll want to use gas powered ships for now, but half of the ships traversing oceans are simply moving fuel around, which won’t be needed as the electricity doesn’t need to be shipped if it comes from solar. Will large shipments still be needed, of course, but wouldn’t it be against the U.S. own interest to have high oil costs for the country shipping them items. As in every item would cost more for American consumers to have it shipped, it would be like putting a tariff on Chinese goods… Oh… I forgot making the American worker pay more to line the pockets of the oil companies is what they want, got it.

I don’t even know what regulations they are skirting. You can’t just sign up to become a driver without submitting information just like any other job. Background checks are required, licenses and what not. People are also supposed to leave feedback if they had a bad experience so I could only imagine that the complaints are surrounding the idea that Uber isn’t following up on the feedback enough. That said if 500 people ride with that driver and rate them well, and 1 person says they were a perv, and Uber looks at it and finds that person has called several male drivers pervs while they get good ratings from everyone else, there could be a problem that those people have a type, or Uber could be thinking the issue is the rider at that point

Instead of try to renovate or upkeep nuclear sites Ukraine gave them to Russia for assurances of protection by the Russia, the U.K, and U.S. Then Russia attacked them twice since then. It isn’t a “west” thing.

I mean both Iran and the U.S. seem to agree it was near a naval base. Most logical conclusion is that they just missed, whether it be from someone thinking they had the coordinates right from outdated information, someone being dumb and picking the wrong side of the compound, or simply the missile not being as accurate as people want to admit.

At best it was negligence, at worst it was sending a message by intentionally doing it to strike fear.

Well the way I view it is it’s all useless. If a 10 year old goes to buy a phone, they can’t do so without getting money from an adult who therefore approved of it. If a 15 year old buys a cell phone they can’t… Because they need an adult to have a credit card/bank that allows monthly payments. Only offered to an adult. If you are a minor you can only get one with an adults co-sign. Thus the idea that a child has access to the Internet without an adults consent is just untrue 99.9 percent of the time. schools monitor the traffic . So every situation comes down to negligence on the parent. Who will sign their account in, or their credit card on the kids phone… bypassing all reason for the laws

I hate the idea of age checks, but OS is the next best thing if they don’t share the information beyond. In truth it is pointless other than tracking people.

Look, instant messages were instant, but getting the computer to boot up, connecting to the Internet and logging in were not.

I’m on the younger end but I remember so Many people having routines like prep the coffee machine the night before, when the alarm went off you would get up youd hit the power button on the computer, turn on the coffee machine, then hop in the shower. When you got out of the shower you would log in, and go grab a cup of coffee, then come back and connect to the Internet. Drink your coffee and you could check the 2 items and emails you needed before running out the door

If they did that they would have a lot more paperwork to forge. The U.S. was claiming that they were running cocaine, but there were reports after one of the bombings that a lot of weed washed up on shore. With a large part of the U.S. population believing weed shouldn’t be illegal, and clearly making it legal would take away any reason for someone to smuggle weed into our country selling the idea of attacking their country for it would have been harder. So they would have had to dispose of all the weed, bag up fake cocaine or acquire real cocaine and submit it all to evidence and fake all the paperwork.

Instead they just bomb them and don’t have to lie anymore, the evidence was supposed to gone and they could tell the media whatver story they wanted.

Pretty easy for them to claim. They went to war with Afghanistan with a deck of cards and Bin Laden as the Ace of Spades. 48/52 of those cards were executed or in custody.

This time Israel and the U.S. started the war by killing who they would claim is the Ace of Spades.

The U.S. isn’t going to try to colonize Iran, they could back out tomorrow and already call the war a win. They won’t though, because people aren’t the reason they are there, they are their to funnel money, and Israel is there so they can expand their borders, not into Iran, down through Gaza and into the West Bank, maybe part of Lebanon who knows what with Jordan… but when the Iran war ends they will hold more land and the world will say they lost.

It’s like if Russia and Ukraine reached peace tomorrow, people will say Russia lost because they dont control Ukraine. But Russia will have expanded its borders, and Ukraine would have shrunk a lot. Russia will have “won” all of that land, and wouldn’t give a shit that all those people died. (Because Putin got what he wanted, to keep appearing strong to his people, which he only cares about because it keeps his head on his neck, and stays rich beyond imagine)

From the GOPs point of view they won all of them. This war will be no different. The world will call it a loss because the U.S. won’t take control of Iran and hold it permanently, which the U.S. never has any intent of holding these countries permanently. They don’t care how many soldiers die, they don’t even really care who ends up controlling that area when they leave. Did they destabilize the region and get approval to funnel mass amounts of money into defense company contracts. Yes and yes. U.S. oil comes from the U.S. yet gas prices are rising in the U.S., why… Because wars with countries that control oil elsewhere help line the pockets of oil companies who fund these politicians campaigns. If you have oil, lift it at costs less than the U.S. and don’t have nuclear weapons, you are a target to exploit. It’ll raise costs for every working class sod in the world, but they couldn’t give a shit about us. They are winning. We are losing.

damn, I knew there was an alterior motive to the knee pads, no one liked those things.

Yeah meanwhile I was over in the corner trying to figure out how all my laces are tangled in the Velcro of my roller blades. I swear whoever designed Velcro and laces to exist on the same contraption was just trying to be a dick

Not much, just the part where it helped clear small companies out of the market if their margins were thin and had to raise their prices they may have just went under in the last year. I wonder if companies that declared bankruptcy in the last 12 months can also start lawsuits separately

I have to deduct a merit for myself, as I now see I spelled meritable with a typo.

Honestly I find it worse if I say sir or ma’am or such and someone gets upset. “My mother was ma’am don’t call me that!”

For years I avoided TNT for just this reason, always figured it would explode my life

Which cleanup tool do you use, I’ve got 10 things flashing hundreds of dollars in subscriptions I’m fairly certain someone got access to all my accounts after the last person I called asked to do a screen share when he sent me a text saying all my photos would be deleted!?
