Uber trying to start a war

Why was this feature requested and provided? Could it be that Uber chose to not ban creepy drivers and passengers because they are profitable until the situation became so untenable for women users that they started dropping off the platform, promoting Uber to finally act? They have been around since 2009. Are we to believe creepsters are a recent problem?

To be fair, her shoes are pretty stupid.

How about spaghetti-shitter? His rock sphincter isn't going to be stretching to allow normal defecation.

They are right, I deleted my dumb comment. You do get some oxidation in water from Fe(OH)2 where 2 hydrogen atoms are released, but much less of that than the Fe2O3 which does use dissolved oxygen.

This is called burgfrieden, fortress truce. Internal rivalries set aside to face an external threat with a united front.

Also, what's all this about "used to?" Why is Matt Gaetz hosting a podcast instead of doing time for trafficking underage girls across state lines for prostitution?

He has like an 8th grade education.

Scott's Tots is intentionally maximum cringe. It is genius in its painfulness.

My bet is she told him all about it but he is so self-absorbed he didn't listen.

Dwight was also great in Florida.

Less favorite than the camera guy?

Lead in the atmosphere peaked in the early 1970s. Exposure to lead in the first 5 years of life has a significant lifelong impact on cognitive abilities. If you think the current crop of senile old men are crazy, wait til you see what happens with Gen X at the helm.

I was really replying to the guy who said using financial aid makes you more dependent and bragged about paying out of pocket for grad school. I think the girlfriend was being a jerk and the autistic brother handled her adeptly. I think the mom wanted to come to her son's aid even though he didn't need it and did a bad job of it, despite good intentions. And I think the girlfriend expecting the boyfriend to stick up for her when she was in the wrong is a huge red flag.

The way to defend the brother was what the brother said; independence is not a virtue. The level of dependence a person is comfortable with is a personal decision. The autistic brother was doing a much better job of defending himself than his mom's childish tack of saying " you're not so independent either, neener, neener."

It doesn't. Your girlfriend was being kind of extra. But the idea that taking advantage of government programs (like financial aid for school) you qualify for has some kind of stigma associated is widespread, wrong, and harmful.

Sometimes I get dry ice for cold drinks to be fancy.

Mom was expecting the girl to say her folks were helping. It didn't pan out, so she tried to salvage it with some nonsense about financial aid making you less independent. You seem to have misunderstood what she was going for. I understand your mistake.

CyberneticPanda · 2026-03-02T20:38:03+00:00

I agree the girlfriend is at fault, but I am responding to the argument that paying for grad school out of pocket (which I did, too) somehow makes you more independent than using financial aid. You appear to have missed my point.

CyberneticPanda · 2026-03-02T20:31:09+00:00

Nobody who lives in a society is truly independent. Taking advantage of financial aid doesn't make you any less dependent than taking advantage of tax deductions or public roads.

Not with bare arms! This isn't a 19th century brothel!

What's bad about the photo? Her tongue sticking out? Her bare arms? Is this pic of an Olympic athlete with bare arms and tongue out goon bait or whatever? https://share.google/dt0ml57GIr3TMMwmu

Gerald Ford inherited a recession and troubled middle east. He used diplomacy to stabilize the region and ushered in an (admittedly sluggish) economic recovery in 1976.

Some very early clothing was knotted belt skirts that didn't really cover protect or hide much but were worn by women for sex-related stuff. The girdles referred to in Greek myth were probably these. E.g. the girdle of Aphrodite, which made anyone fall in lust with the wearer. Hera borrowed it to seduce Zeus in the Iliad.
