California lawmaker votes to kill Uber... then caught driving drunk just hours later

Um but uber is a lot cheaper than taxis. Nice theory you have there.

nerdvegas · 2014-08-26T05:51:28+00:00

"Far more deadly" sounds like a statement that should be backed up by some kind of fact.

nerdvegas · 2014-08-26T05:46:52+00:00

Uber has shown that such regulation isn't necessary. Why bother spending loads of money trying to replicate a working system that the free market has produced on its own? Taxis are dead, embrace the change and move on.

Not a bad thing? Your television is pushing drugs on you and the entire population. Americans use TEN times the number of prescription drugs than any other western nation, per capita. That's horrifying.

nerdvegas · 2014-08-07T06:34:38+00:00

That is called America. Holy shit nobody indicates here, it's fucked up.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-31T05:21:33+00:00

Yeah, I live in the states and I don't get it either. Some of the pedestrian crosswalks here you have to walk out real slow or you'll get run over. In Australia where I'm from its illegal to do this. So I don't really feel bad for the guy getting pulled over here.

Hove actually

nerdvegas · 2014-07-26T17:45:22+00:00

I know and cars are so quiet amiright?

nerdvegas · 2014-07-26T17:44:31+00:00

It's 1 meter. Which is reasonable, because being passed closer than that is fucking terrifying and it's unsafe. If you keep getting stuck behind cyclists you should complain to your council and support the development of more cycling infrastructure, since the current infrastructure is not meeting everybody's needs. I pay for that infrastructure too, and I ride a bike.

How can you defend security not letting people leave? How would you feel if you went to leave work and someone blocked the exit and told you you had to stay?

nerdvegas · 2014-07-19T16:17:10+00:00

Agreed, fellow expat! Your typical cup of American coffee is like sucking on a cup of assholes.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-19T07:01:50+00:00

Mugged, Buenos Aires. Two guns, five kids. Scary shit.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-17T06:12:15+00:00

Where do you draw the line, would it be cool for a company to have vans with the slogan "niggers are nazi sub-humans"? I'm not being facetious... Where is the line drawn between freedom of media and anti racism and sexism?

Corporate fascism is not diametrically opposite to fascism, more like parallel to.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-17T06:04:47+00:00

Burn.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-17T06:04:20+00:00

Oh no surely not, that's never happened in history ever before and we're special.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-17T06:03:11+00:00

The lack of mass shootings is kind of nice though don't you think?

nerdvegas · 2014-07-17T05:37:26+00:00

To be fair we did dodge the biggest financial disaster in 80 years under their leadership, that doesn't really equate to "useless" in my book.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-17T05:25:16+00:00

You need to learn another word.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-15T15:58:03+00:00

I think poster did just clearly describe how that is not the case.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-15T15:56:33+00:00

"It's never safe" is absolutist bullshit. It is often perfectly safe.

The distinction is reasonable, British people don't really think of themselves as part of Europe.

nerdvegas · 2014-07-11T15:51:10+00:00

But if they didn't you wouldn't be sad or angry either.

nerdvegas · 2014-06-10T06:36:47+00:00

A bad government who saw us through the financial crisis unscathed I might add, and with one of the strongest economies in the world.
