My old boss says she rather risk her life riding a weemo taxi than take a Uber.
When asked why, she said that an Uber driver dropped her off at home, after about 15 minutes, then Uber driver was still messaging her. She ignored it. After 15 minutes later, the APP asked her if anything is wrong because the driver was still parked at her front door.
She called the police and they showed up 30 minutes later and made him leave. Dude was at her house messaging her for 45 minutes.
Ya, I'm a dude and I would also choose bear.
It's also wild to me that I've been told multiple times by experienced outdoorsmen that the most dangerous animal you can encounter in the woods is another human, but that's entirely forgotten as soon as the culture war revs up.
yup. all kinds of people in this thread equating "encountering a bear" to "being mauled by a bear"
clearly they haven't met a moose
but yeah, animals mostly just want to be left alone. usually it is pretty easy to do that when you come across one
Yeah, a bear lives in the fucking woods. That's his house, and presumably if you're not fucking with the bear, the bear most likely won't fuck with you.
But another person? With unclear intentions for being in the woods? Not everyone is out to get you, but it's a higher risk than a damn bear. Especially if you're a woman, by yourself
goes to show how hiring unvetted people for a service like that really isn't a great way to do it
*fuck you autocorrect
I hate it when my Uber driver shows up with their skin on the inside and bones on the outside.
I fucking hate autocorrect. gets worse every year somehow.
I love it when it mangles other peoples' comments in funny ways and loathe it when it also has the audacity to change my words in a totally imperceptible way.
I will make no attempt to rectify this hypocrisy.
Just turn it off. That's what I do whenever I see software "correct" something in a way I didn't intend. I'd rather have a typo or incorrect spelling than an unintended word. Hell, even the generally helpful ones like "auto capitalize" I'll turn off on desktops because they mess with typing out code blurbs for an email or document.
Though swipe typing is in its own little zone where the ~~plasticine province~~ predictions can be frustrating but make ~~of~~ it usable. Otherwise I'd want a physical keyboard back.
misread this as "skirt on the inside and bones on the outside"
inverted people
oh I'm sorry, did you think that that was a good person to hire for a service like this ‽
