I like ‘fucking turd’, but I generally appreciate an expletive  mixed with the PG version of a different expletive

He’s in Fresno. Of course he’s in bad shape.

I live in the smartest state in the nation, one that does all voting via mailed ballots. My wife and I voted two weeks ago, maybe wearing pants, definitely watching Westworld. I was smoking legal cannabis and my wife was eating ice cream.

Taxi driver here: I do it after 8+ hours of driving so I can stretch my calf. On a busy night, I only leave the cab for bathroom breaks. Gotta use whatever time you can find for body maintenance

But that song IS a country song, and she sings it, so she IS a country singer?

How many years ago did you write that headline, just hoping that maybe, someday, you’d get to use it?

The first part was actually my point. I never was defending dude, I was suggesting that asking for proof was a fool’s errand

I’m pretty sure political think tanks shape their studies to most benefit whoever pays for their study. That’s how they can get paid for future studies. I don’t think anyone would fund any study on the crimes of Group A people, vs 20,000 different Group Bs, especially when there is such overlap between the people in…

OP sure was going out on a limb with that statement, but asking for proof is just opening a statistical black hole.

When comparing a multinational corporation with 1 CEO and 1 board of directors with thousands of locally regulated and independently owned cab companies, your question to me is basically, “are their more criminals in the Catholic Church, or in the Protestant/Lutheran/Baptist/Evangelical/Christian churches in the US?”…

What I’m telling you is that I can confirm his statement, or obliterate it, depending on the parameters used. Is he right? Sure, if you want him to be.

To be a registered professional in my town, you have to pass a 50 state background check which must show no DUIs, reckless driving, or violent felony convictions. You also have a much lower bar as far as tickets go: any three moving violations in a year leads to a suspension of Taxi license. Does any of this stop…

The problem with that question is that you’re comparing a billion dollar, multinational corporation, to thousands of small businesses in the US alone. Does their company have more driver->passenger crime? Absolutely, but they also have (potentially millions) of more drivers. Per capita? Are we just comparing the last…

A taxi is better (in my town) because the city itself has installed cameras in the taxi, which can be viewed after the fact. Could something fucked up still happen? Sure, but the result wouldn’t be a $250 bail

I’ve been a taxi driver for 7 years. A lot of time, it’s because the friends are shit housed themselves. Sometimes it’s because the person being put in the cab has been a dick to everyone for the previous hour. Lots of times it’s done by a bar. However it ends up happening, I’ve always taken them to their houses, and…

I was unfamiliar with her work, but this was a great read. One note: any doctor who prescribed Xanax to an alcoholic should have their license pulled. Xanax works in some pretty similar ways to alcohol: damaging your liver, short term memory loss, and making you feel the best parts of drunk. Not only would this have…

There isn’t a single street in Portland, OR that doesn’t have a directional indicator (w, nw, N, ne, e, se, SW), so that’s always an easy tell

I really assumed the answer would be banging in the back seat on the way home from the pub. Step up your game up, Aussies!

On board.

You won’t regret it! Get a newish one with a front disc, though. The drums are meh
