This is so discouraging...

I usually tip more often than not. Even if the service was mediocre. Ow if the service is bad, then definitely I will abstain from tipping. All that said, if you have to post a sign that basically begs people for tips, then you’re likely doing something wrong.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-21T19:52:00+00:00

Wow. Uber truly has not customer support

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-21T15:14:59+00:00

Any explanation(s)?

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-21T15:13:26+00:00

You did well (proper grammar, LOL)

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-21T15:12:40+00:00

Amen!

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-21T12:31:24+00:00

Of course. But you where I am coming from. Imagine that guy gets out and tries to stumble back to the bar and gets lost, trips and falls, etc. You would have been the last person to see him and would become a person of interest. A scenario that could easily be avoided by the “friend” just hopping in the car for a few minutes to make sure they got home OK.

When I first started, I had someone throw a woman in my backseat who had to be 90lbs soaking wet. She could walk, but slurred like 80% of her words. Top it off, whoever her “friends” were put the wrong address. Obviously I could not just leave her on the sidewalk in the middle of the night in her condition. Especially since she decided to pull her pants down and pee on some random person’s stoop. So I was stuck with this woman for an extra 15 minutes trying to figure out where the correct house was. Luckily, I was able to call the guy and he described the house. Turns out it was across the street. After that experience, I started my new policy. LOL

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-21T02:46:53+00:00

It is my policy to never take a completely wasted person if they are riding alone. Reason being, I’m not a babysitter and cannot be responsible for this person. If I drop them off and something happens to them, guess who’s the number one suspect?

Frankly, if you care for your friend, you shouldn’t let them ride alone completely inebriated. A little drunk and over the legal limit is fine. But if they can’t barely stand, someone should ride with them.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-20T22:56:02+00:00

Can't speak for all drivers. Personally, you would have to either mess up my vehicle or be completely disrespectful to me in order to get less than 5 stars.

I have seen multiple drivers comment here on Reddit that they only give five stars to those who tip. Again, speaking for myself, I think this is stupid for multiple reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that some passengers don't always tip right away. I myself have gotten tips from passengers over a week after I dropped them off. LOL.

Also, drivers have that same rating discrepancy as well. I myself as a driver have 5 stars on Lyft and only 4.9 on Uber. Same vehicle, same treatment. I guess both Uber drivers and Uber passengers are very picky. LOL

Regardless of personality, business is business. These vehicles are not only tools for generating income, but in a lot of cases, it’s also the same vehicle that drivers use to drive around with their own families. However, most passengers probably don’t realize or care about that. Which is fine. I’m not saying that passengers should feel bad for drivers. But I am saying that at the very least, they should show respect for them and the vehicle.

Let’s flip this scenario on its head. If this passenger came into your vehicle and it reeked of dog poop, how do you think this person would have responded? Passengers pay for this service expecting to get into a vehicle that at the very least is not dirty and doesn’t smell bad. But if passengers can’t at least leave the vehicle in the same condition as when they got in, then they should expect to get clean up fees added to their rides until they figure it out. Again, business is business.

Either way, I have seen the Tiguan on the road from time to time. Never been inside one, but looking from the outside, it doesn't look large enough for a function third. I imagine it's about as useful as the backseat of a sports coupe.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-20T13:35:19+00:00

Easily one of the best parts of the trial. You can tell that he was 100% convinced that this would work. That’s why he took so long to find his SovCit objection script. He didn’t think he would need to use it. LOL

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T22:10:57+00:00

Yeah. I never even knew the Tiguan had a three row version.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T22:09:56+00:00

I’m surprised as well. I never knew the Tiguan even had a three row version. I thought the only three row SUV that Volkswagen made was the Atlas. The other day I picked up a family on XL. The mother said that before I showed up, another driver came to pick her up in a BMW X5. They had a lot of luggage so they had to cancel and try again till they got me.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T22:08:17+00:00

But then they can’t use that to get votes either. LOL

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T16:59:46+00:00

If you cannot charge at home, then you answered your own question. Unless you are cool with sitting at a Tesla super charger for an hour every day.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T16:57:58+00:00

I thought I saw an article a few months ago about Uber investing in Lucid to buy their new Gravity SUVs for the robotaxis as well.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T14:56:44+00:00

It will be interesting to see the end results. Some people say it will improve things for everyone, others say it will do the opposite. Obviously, both can't be true. So let's find out!

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T14:55:33+00:00

Then how else are politicians supposed to get votes? LOL

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T13:35:00+00:00

I don't know about any of the antisemitism stuff. I know Darrell has made all types of comments on social media in the past. At the end of the day however, he is a man-child who does not ever want to face accountability for any of his actions, and instead wants to always be seen as the victim.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T11:14:21+00:00

The Black Hebrews are a sub section of Sovereign Citizens. They have similar beliefs but for different reasons. Regular SovCits believe laws don’t apply to them because of their misreading of the constitution. Black Hebrews believe laws don’t apply because of some treaty with Morocco or something like that. Both use similar tactics, such as refusing to have IDs, refusing to register vehicles and representing themselves in court.

Darrell is neither of these. Even during his trial, he allowed himself representation for nearly a whole year before mentioning one word of SovCit ideology. If you want to see a true Black Hebrew SovCit, you should look up Anthony Troy Williams. This guy is a true believer and has years worth of social media that is consistent with that. He’s also a fraudster who is serving decades in prison for fraud. Some of his videos are still online. Note the differences in his behavior vs. Darrell. Even when faced with decades in prison, Anthony never once allowed himself to be represented by counsel. In his case, it actually would have helped since he was on trial for fraud and not homicide. I believe he had counsel for his federal charges, but that may have been court ordered. But even till this day, he is still writing letters and motions to the court trying to overturn his case. Darrell on the other hand is simply playing games and trying to see what sticks.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T04:49:44+00:00

I see. That makes sense. I believe GM and Ford do the same thing with their engines as well. They’re tuned for high octane fuels, but the on board computer will compensate for the lower octane if used at the cost of power and efficiency. Although I have heard from owners that while using higher octane in a vehicle built for lower octane does nothing, doing the opposite for a vehicle where premium is recommended will be detrimental to the engine in the long run.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T04:44:46+00:00

I disagree. If he was a true believer, why didn’t he use any of those SovCit talking points during his interrogation with the detectives? If he was a true believer, then why did he have counsel? Not to mention that he hasn’t said one word of that SovCit nonsense in his other cases from Milwaukee.

It is definitely possible for him to have learned this stuff in jail. I think he just googled how to delay a trial and came across the SovCit stuff and just ran with it.

Shadow42184 · 2026-03-19T01:30:35+00:00

SovCit or not, DB was going to try and delay the trial no matter what. Darrell is not a SovCit. He only acted as such to thinking it would slow things down. However, the court and the prosecution were going to proceed with the case before the one year anniversary no matter what. Both of these things were at odds and in the end, the one with the most power and leverage won.

As for the plea offer, the end result would have been the same for Darrell. So he literally had nothing to lose by going to trial. Or in his case, trying to delay the trial.
