Uber was supposed to help traffic. It didn’t. Robotaxis will be even worse

Reply in thread

The original concept of Uber was ride-sharing, where it would match up riders going to a similar destination, like the airport. But I haven’t seen that option pop up in quite a while.

Wrong, it started as "Ubercab" and you could request a black luxury cab. It eventually turned into the app we have now with people trying to make ends meet. It was and is a taxi service.

Straight from Wikipedia.

We don't have the money

Whats the actual worth of a competent CEO? Do you think you can calculate his value after reading two articles and some arbitrary numbers?

I know I am stupid but not that stupid to think I can judge a persons salary within minutes.

French state schools turn away dozens of girls wearing Muslim abaya dress

It’s a loose dress. How is a generic loose dress preventing people from integrating? My american grandma has dresses like this

I think its the headscarf thingy most people have a problem with. Nobody cares about the dress part. But you likely knew that already.

I dont care either way about the subject at hand (Not Canadian) but it would be nice if we could leave these bad faith arguments on Reddit so nobody wastes their time arguing about nonsense if its a dress or a burka.

Please use "I N G E P O L D E R D" as its not quite as racist as "GEKOLONISEERD".

For the people not in the know, the Dutch like to meme about the warcrimes in Indonesia and Africa and when they speak dutch in a comment section they make joking gestures to the time of colonization, like its a good thing, or something to take lightly. Quite frankly colonizing isnt funny in any shape or form and I, another dutch person feel ashamed and sorry for whoever took offense to the comment above. Not of all of us are like this.

Our history books mostly skip over the warcrimes done in indonesia and how bad the slave trade is, but its luckily improving.

For the guy above me;

Warcrimes of the Dutch in Indonesia:

How the dutch turned south africa into a racist country:

Over half a million people got ripped away from their families and traded by the Dutch in the 1800s;

This is why I think it shouldnt be taken lightly. Its like a german joking about the time their ancestors murdered millions of jews and bringing it up whenever they see another German in a comment thread.

Funniest story you have about removing a tenant?

Ill start, I once paid my cousin to honk a car horn multiple times at night at a tenants house because I had to get them out (In my country you are only allowed to raise the rent with a certain % and kicking them out allows you to set a market conform price).

Took three whole months before they gave up.

I got a stream of emails with them complaining and video links they posted to Tiktok.

It was a hard time for me but the end results were positive and looking back I can laugh about it.
