Here comes a whopping million dollar fine in five years

What the hell are you talking about about? Who is out there “scoffing” at those who save?

Sometimes I wonder how awesome the Internet would be if people didn’t constantly spout some made up bullshit as fact.

Uh, why?

The concept of surge pricing for something that was supposed to be a side job for drivers makes sense. During a blizzard, if driving Uber is my side hustle, there’s no way I’m getting in the car to pick up some schmuck after he drank too much at Applebee’s. But if I can charge more for that ride, I will start to consider it.

But then the “gig” job became people’s full time job and everything, as it must, went to shit.

But for Wendy’s? The meat is there. The employee is there. Everything is already there, ready and waiting to make burgers. So surge pricing isn’t correcting a supply/demand imbalance - it’s just on-demand price gouging.

“why do so many people believe in conspiracies”

This will somehow result in increased bag fees.

“unfortunately”?

You are wrong. “Universal health care” has nothing to do with removing profit motive. It just means everyone has access to health care, be that through public or private (ie profit-driven) insurance.

I think you’re meaning to say “single payer” health care, which is where the government spends a portion of tax revenue to pay for health care for everyone.

I don’t mind in-game ads printed on in-map billboards and stuff

Not ten years ago people were complaining about this very thing.

It’s fascinating to watch the boiling frog in basically real time. Give it another 10 years and ads that interrupt gameplay will be seen as normal too.

This is wild. My family and I just had vaccines done at Walgreens on Friday. The lady who did the vaccination quite nearly fucked up and gave my son an adult dose. She caught herself and pulled it out before injecting, but it was a near thing. It was quite obvious that she was completely rushing everything and was completely overwhelmed.

I moved to the $10 720p plan and haven’t noticed the drip in resolution even once.

Wait what’s Linux, never heard of it
