I wrote their support folks, they were not helpful. Test your code!

You can't be British: too much overstatement. ;)

Adverbs, unlike ‘like’, ‘um’, ‘well’ etc., aren’t necessarily filler words, but yes they’re frequently used that way.

Invariably, some white person says ‘my people’ in the comments section of a Jezebel article on race. White people should stop saying ‘my people’. It’s not like we’re united in a common struggle together.

That’s an oldie, but a goodie. I’ve had the card vs. cash conversation many times. “The machine doesn’t work, I need cash.” Not my problem, man, you should have said something; the sign says you accept credit card, and the machine looks fine to me.

That’s your prerogative. Enjoy.

I’m not pretending they’re not skirting regulations. They are. But I think those regulations stifle competition and make transportation unaffordable to consumers, so I enjoy seeing them challenged. I used to work in city government, and my opinion is the red tape you have to go through to take someone to the airport

“[Uber] doesn’t background check at all” is not a true statement. What’s true is that the TLC lobby and municipalities want them to be more extensive. Hence my word choice in regard to scumbags who pass “supposedly more extensive” background checks.

Yes! Very good point about the way they handle complaints. They need to hire a few hundred people to work the phones in the customer service department, which probably has like 10 people right now, if that.

Yeah, Metro is really built for commuting — for getting in and out of, not around the city. Lived in NE Capitol Hill for five years. Hailing a cab was hard enough. Scheduling one for a pickup was even harder. On hold for a minimum of five minutes, and then twenty minutes later they show up...or they don’t...and if

Why is everyone pretending there aren’t a proportional amount of scumbag cabdrivers? And even worse, these fuckers have managed to pass supposedly more extensive background checks.

Now playing

Sorry, I didn’t do it right the first time.

You fucked up the reverse psychology. You should have told him to quit. Then he would have stayed.

Funny, I said just as much to a colleague last week about bigoted lawyers I knew growing up who nevertheless very much believed in fair trials.

Yeah, I grew up in the sort-of-South (southeast Texas). I think it’s a distinctly East Coast and/or naive, middle-school interpretation to deify him as an enlightened, progressive archetype, as opposed to a flawed man predisposed to noble and deplorable tendencies.

I read the first chapter on the The Guardian. I liked it, but yes, I can understand being suspicious of its origins.

I don’t understand why people keep insisting on the false dichotomy that the Civil War was caused by either slavery or states’ rights. Clearly, both played an important part (though slavery was arguably more important) and were in a sense inextricably linked. Just look at the Confederate Constitution: it’s nearly

Kidnapped, duh.
