My friends and I waited 90 minutes in vain for a cab. We're white girls, we were calling from one of the colleges.

I suspect people in black neighborhoods don't bother calling. That's what jitneys are for.

Thanks for being an authoritarian lunatic about transportation, then.

I am not trying to insult you personally, but you are literally arguing for few options for people and celebrating in the fact that authorities are cracking down on transportation.

I've been living outside the city for the past few years, but I am definitely going to use them one of these days!

I drove around with a really cool Pittsburgh jitney driver once for an article. If he's the type of driver that's out there, that's awesome.

I hope you end up in a city with no taxis, or a God-awful, "fuck you, unless you're taking a 60 dollar cab ride to the airport" company (hi, Pittsburgh). I truly do. Then you might realize that taxis are a fucking monopoly all over the country.

Have you seen "tech" blog Valleywag and their screeds against Uber? They feel very luddite.

I haven't yet had a chance to use Uber, but I have tried to get a cab in Pittsburgh, AND done stories about shameful taxi cab cartels. They need to be broken up, and Uber and Lyft are a good thing.

Surge pricing looks bizarre…

Okay, I have never used Uber, but please explain to me whether customers are warned about surge pricing, and warned about the potential price beforehand.

Oh, she is wonderful.

And "Parks and Recreation" is wonderful. I'm a libertarian, so the fact that the yay-government gal is adorable Amy Poehler, and she is friendly with and respects the crazy libertarian awesome Ron Swanson is just perfect. Neither character is compromised, but they still like each other. It's like…

She was treated like shit in New Jersey, but I also wish she would just cool it with the going out in public thing.

On the other hand, if she doesn't have symptoms, she's not contagious. Just....take that temperature every morning for a month, okay?

Or, we'll get Clinton vs. Bush 2016, and I will cry, and then laugh and say fuck it, who cares anymore, dynasties, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

We'll see.

Does the fact that she's a huge fucking hawk not concern you? Like, way more of one than Rand Paul is, for example?

Can I start with American Horror story on this season? The freakshow plot intrigues me more than what I have heard about the others.*

*assuming I can hack it, cause I bet it is still scary.

She's dancing to a creepy murder ballad right now, and it's sort of working.

Are you on the being passive aggressive about Taylor Swift beat?

And I have another question, do people actually take Valerie Solanas seriously? Almost killing someone just because he was a dick to you is not really something I look for in my feminist heroes.

Look! It's my favorite things! Cosmo being shitty; pandering to female voters/ladies in general; voting Democrat as default and pretending that voting is magic. Barf.

I don't know what happened with the Palins, but sorry, she's right about liberal politicians being treated more delicately by the mainstream press.

That's about the only thing this former homeschooler related to in the movie. But man did I relate.

Nah, I don't think this applies to you. You seem thoughtful and reasonable and non-awful.

A lot of people don't seem to understand the difference between "I wouldn't do that, interesting, what's the appeal?" and "Ewww, you're a freak." Which is very silly.

Conservative, pro-war morons fail to see the difference between a nuke/Hellfire missile at a gun. One is a tool with which you can kill one person, one animal, whatever. One inherently destroys innocent people.
