Yeah!. It should be “BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS”.

This only works if you are a white male.

If you’re a Black male you wouldn’t get to the high score cause the cop would just shoot you.

Unless the high score is the punishment of death without trial.

I don’t trust Uber either.

That’s cool. Where at? I mean, I haven’t seen any taxi in a place I’ve ever visited with an app.

And then there’s the issue of knowing what app before you get there, or just trusting the sign on the side of the taxi, and subsequently the app to not farm your data.

Anymore the military fodder is the happy coincidence, it’s the capitalists who need people willing to work hard, for shit wages, and then spend all those wages on rent and food.

Thinking about this… I wonder if the fediverse could be used for an “open source” app, to then hail and track a taxi in whatever area you’re in…

Of course adoption would be the hardest part, but any taxi service could host their own server (even single driver operations) and anyone with an app that interfaces with the system could hail a taxi.

Privacy would be difficult, as, inherently you need to somehow inform the taxi where you are and possibly who to expect. And anyone in the system could potentially monitor anyone else.

I’d say that payments should be outright blocked from the system. Taxi should have to do that separately.

The only thing it has “over” taxis is an app instead of a phone call to dispatch.

Missing the last box where the hand still is controlled by dude and starts firing the gun, just can’t point it.

Anyone who is so outgoing/extroverted to think it’s normal to just go up to anyone and interrupt their day with whatever they feel like, probably sees this as just another topic about which to converse.

Everyone else doesn’t particularly like strangers interrupting their day, and especially when it’s just to take their money.

So. You mean forcing people who: May not want the child; Have a barely viable fetus; Have health complications; May not be able to afford food; Etc; to go through the entire pregnancy and birth a child, results in a greater number of born children dying? Whodathunk?

Second note, the metal pipe has to be continuously metal from at minimum where it enters the house, don’t trust that if you see a metal water pipe (or drain pipe) that it’s grounded.

Definitely realistic, just not as profitable for rich billionaires.

Yeah, make them out of metal, that rolls on metal roads. And those metal tires can carry a ton more weight, so put a lot of people in them who are going the same way.

Oh right, we already have those.

I’ve “heard” of the opposite more often than I’ve heard of this case, (outside of porn of course). Where someone figures out their partner is cheating, contacts the person the partner is cheating with, and they both devise to “dump” the cheater.

Yes, but you see, those cost money.

Not the notities!!!

Holy shit, they failed hard.

I’m sure they could have come up with a witty thing with Haim and Harm.

But people better at writing have an advantage, we should only use language, that’s a level playing field. /s

Though I agree that it’s likely not how they were designed, but capitalists must do a capitalism.

When the fine for doing exactly this, is a small portion of the increased profits (and only after it’s discovered, and prosecuted), then it’s just another way to do said capitalism.
