Because other companies actually run thorough background checks, have an actual hiring process, require actual experience and qualifications?

You get to determine price, sale, and shipping method when you sell on eBay. eBay is also transparent about costs to the seller. The only thing eBay has in common with Uber is that they both use software. 

But they aren’t employees at all, are they? They are people that use the app to make money. If I sell crap on eBay to make money, am I an eBay employee?

Today’s teens: “I’d like very much to not burn to death and the drown because of the harsh, out of control climate you’re introducing to Earth’s future.”

Republicans (with a thick, Foghorn Leghorn-like drawl): “But I say, ma’am, I say... what about the MONEY? Did y’all young folks stop to think about MONEY?! I say now,…

I never said the end results were particularly good, I just implied there are actual end results when both sides work to actually pass something through Congress. When they don’t work together, nothing makes it to the president’s desk.

This latest dodge on climate responsibility is as pernicious as it is shallow and it’s been weird to read it put forth so often even by people who should know better. Just because someone else is doing a bad thing doesn’t mean you have license to also do the bad thing.

Well, no.  See, the way things should work would be the Democrats introduce a bill for universal medical care, the Republicans disagree, and they figure out something that both agree on.  The way it presently works is one side introduces a bill, the other side says “that’s too extreme”, and then both sides say “Oh…

Apologies on spoiling that for you. But no, Woody doesn’t stay with Bonnie. He ends up helping Bo Peep find children for other lost toys, which seems like a pretty noble thing, but it is done in a way that feels very counter to the other films.

Like, the other toys are basically calling him out on obsessing over…

No kidding.

Most people would rather not end relationships over politics. The bigger problem arises when you consider what someone’s political views mean when it comes to who they actually are.

What really sucks is that, unless Congress becomes a super majority for Democrats, nothing is actually going to get done anyway.  That’s probably more true of Bernie and Warren; their more progressive policies are going to stop dead in their tracks at Congress’s doorstep.  Hell, we can’t get Democrat and Republicans…

Eh... it was a fun movie, but it was very pointless. Everything about it seemed like a theme they already explored, or something that went counter to the endings of previous stories.

Yep, I was going to say the same thing. I think HBO is really failing to grasp just how much season 8 killed the series for a lot of viewers. From episode 3 onward, the season was just such a let down, it brought each and every storyline to a screeching, unsatisfying halt.

I’m not a union man, so I’m a bit confused by the situation.... but at this point in time, why exactly is GM even concerning themselves with union workers? They are almost certainly looking to outsource and automate as much as possible, so why not just let the union workers know Mexico and UnionBot-127b will be…

Lyft is not a business, it is a service that allows users to get into a car with a stranger looking for some side cash.  We need to stop treating Uber and Lyft like there are actual standards, like there are corporate offices for drivers to take training, like there is anything resembling an actual hiring process...

They’d have to be pretty sheltered to not encounter the fact that it’s an extremely popular code among white supremacists.

So if I take a picture of Hitler, put a noose on it, and say “This is what happens to evil people”, that’s racist?

“At one time”? They still offer hanging in New Hampshire. They still hang people in other countries; maybe some sick fucks in America admire that shit? I don’t know.

So how about if I post an image of that fella in Colorado that killed his pregnant wife and suffocated his two daughters, then crammed them into oil…

Optics. If you don’t intend to be racist by posting the image of a noose, then you should at least understand a noose is piss-poor fucking optics. If you are unaware of the fact that a noose is shit optics, then you deserve to get dragged for being a moron.

A 14 in someone’s username alone doesn’t necessarily indicate they’re racist. An 88 alone in someone’s username does not necessarily indicate they’re racist. The number 1488 in someone’s username is absolutely an indicator that they’re racist.
