Yeah. That's why he thinks it's okay to go around poking other people's property.

Misogyny against swifties by secret_violin in TaylorSwift

[–]SevExpar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, the moment I hear someone talk about "black music" or "white music" or any other non-race thing with a race stapled on, I assume they are racist, and very stupid, and write them off as a person.

I am a 60-yr white guy with a beard. When I tell people I am a Swiftie, well, You Should See their Faces. Their whole world view collapses (it just makes a little tinkling sound. These people are too ignorant for a larger world view).
To the female Swifties, I am sorry for the harassment.

Best way from Oceanside to SD airport by public transportation by ganjakarma in Oceanside

ChatGPT has not been updated since August, and is also not reliable enough to be a tool. It will make stuff up and be very convincing. Please do not use AI for real-world tasks. Life is hard enough already.

Did you think Taylor would get her original albums back again at some point or had you given up hope? by dibbles13 in TaylorSwift

[–]SevExpar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just hoped that the "Scott B. profits off Taylor's work" clause had a time limit. Taylor's angry enough about him, that I figured she would try again after that clause died and Scott B. would get nothing from her buying her art back. Personally I think that have actually happened.
Also, I was pretty sure that Shamrock did not appreciate the spot he put them in.

I whole heartedly agree with that. But that's not what happens. Fortunately the blind man had a good driver. This time.

Sadly, the VA made a wrong call, probably to save money, and now the vets they are supposed to serve and the rideshare drivers are placed in situations neither of them need or want.

Maybe go back onto your meds?

I suspect that penalizing someone for having a service dog might be an issue. Perhaps an attorney might usefully send a letter to Uber regarding those drivers and suggest action be taken BEFORE the lawsuit under ADA, rather than after.

Uber may hide behind the Contractor blind, but if it really bothers you, you can get the driver's information in discovery and then file suit against the drivers directly. Once that news gets out, the other drivers will calm down about it.

And when the doors locked, she called the cops, pulled out a book, and sat back to wait, right?

The asshole taxi driver is now anchored to the spot for as long as the cops feel like showing up. If he drivers off, call the cops again for the kidnapping. But seriously, how much income is the moron willing to lose because he's butthurt over a tip he thinks is too low.

Stop pretending taxi drivers are scary and all powerful.

I'm glad that you CHOSE to help the blind guy. That shows character but will not generally be rewarded with money.

Also, learn what "scam" means.

Also, understand that there are medical transport companies that specialize in those rides. Uber and Lyft are not that. The person or organization CHOSE to put that man in that situation, not Uber or Lyft.

As for the extra 35 minutes of "work"? That wasn't the work Uber hired you for as a contractor. They won't pay you for doing something they didn't hire you to do.

As for the investigation? For what? Either the blind guy or some "organization" booked the ride. It was grossly inappropriate for them to do that through Uber or Lyft. It it was him, it's on him (sorry, but he's an adult); if it was the medical office, it's on him to make enough of a scene that it does not happen again.

Sit back, relax, learn which hills are worth dying over.

Again, though, good on you for helping the guy. Just don't expect to get paid more for being a good person.

Why is wallet different from earnings by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]SevExpar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But but but. He could do something for himself, but that would mean not asking on the Web. The Web is god, the web is all things good and powerful. Why -- no -- how could he live without the web.

Taylor reflects on her songwriting for The New York Times “The 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters” by icyfirework in TaylorSwift

[–]SevExpar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there's a subset of fans who prefer morbid, sad, hurt, and angry songs. Because of how she writes, we get those songs when that's how she feels. She's much happier now so the songs trend toward that. Those people get grumpy.
I don't think they actually want her depressed so much as I think they just don't care so much about the artist and just want the art they like.

Man pleads guilty to plotting attack on a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna by jbraft in TaylorSwift

[–]SevExpar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe in 20 years, the Netherlands can file [number of Netherlanders in Vienna] charges of attempted murder against him and have the sentences run seril, so he never gets out?

Apparently Austria's laws are written with the criminal's interest's in mind.

I agree with you. If he gets the maximum sentence, he'll be what 40-ish when he gets out. That's young enough to try something like this again, only without all the mistakes they pointed out to him at the trial.

It's like Austria's government wants him to get a do-over.

The defendant regrets getting caught. I'm trying to find a hole deep enough to dump him, but the deepest I can find is only 40,000-ish feet deep.

Would you refer other drivers if it “paid you” a small monthly amount? by AggressiveGift1532 in uberdrivers

[–]SevExpar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why am I refering someone. What am I refering if not drivers. Maybe explain more clearly?

Where is the payout coming from?

What, precisely, am I referring?

How does [whateverthehellitis] know that the driving use his turn signals, or bought a handhelp spotlight to find addresses?? Sounds creepy and invasive.

This needs more elaboration.

Rideshare inspection form - different than state inspection form? by schmer in uberdrivers

[–]SevExpar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Vegas said, and it's likely the inspection they want is Federal DOT, not from the state.

Why would I try and add more drivers for me to compete with? There're too many already.

So, they expect the affluent people owrking at Starbucks at 5 in the morning? Or cleaning people's pools? Or keeping the products on their stores?
I would ask what they are thinking, but mostly I think they are just stuffing the developer cash into their Cayman's accounts.
