yeah or black towncar not all taxi companies are yellow with checkered stripes. they will have all the logos on the outside or in the window. Uber, Lift they run them all. They run fleets with exploited immigrants and take their cut just like the mob is known to do.

yeah as in the same taxi companies and their drivers use the app as drivers on top of taxi rides.
- Comment on Everything old is new again. 5 days ago:
maybe a niche thing to New York and is completely anecdotal from people i know but it’s more those same cab companies moving into the ride share market.
- Comment on Everything old is new again. 5 days ago:
the other issue that Uber helped with in the beginning was mess with Mob controlled taxi cartels that used regulation as a shield that’s why service was so poor. By skating those laws it put some market presure to improve slightly. but now that they got so big it’s back to being cappy again and the mob has moved into that market as well now.

- Comment on Why do we have an internal monologue? 2 months ago:
it depends on if I heard a voice of that character before for example Batman is always Kevin Conroy and the joker is always Mark Hamill. another usecase is if I listened to the audio book then start reading a text book. Ray Potter shows up alot.

it’s even worse than that they write characters that are not in the world of star trek but written like they are fans of the star trek. that might work for a comedy like lower decks but it stunts growth of the franchise.
since we can’t make new stories or ask new questions. They are just stuck in a circle of reference and the bare minimum of a story / scavenger hunt to get to those references. Terry Matalas has said this himself.
But hey at least we have unedited versions of the originals unlike star wars and I hope all the actors got big paydays in their golden years.

- Comment on The world is going to shit. Is there anything I can do about it? No, so I move on. 4 months ago:
I will say that even with all we see the world. It is not going to shit it’s very much improving better than the world my parents lived in. On a long enough timeline we win. When it comes to social political change so the world is great in all but one aspect and that’s the climate and with that I can’t do shit about it.
So I may not be able to save the world but I can be one of the helpers that make someone life just a little bit better.
it could be helping out at a shelter. paying for someones meal at a restaurant. telling someone you like the thing they created. all of it helps while we brace for the hardships of crisis created by men long dead and their undead, unfeeling Corps still impacting our world.
- Comment on the agent's argument in the matrix 4 months ago:
To add to this population decline is just something that happens when people are in developed countries after they industrialize. when you don’t need to farm as much and can have time to do some lezure and entertain yourself and frankly after wormen get more rights and are not seen as properly. population levels out naturally but can decline faster when people are not given the means to support themselves children become a burden rather than the gift they should be. You put unions back to +60% like they were in the 50s and you will see a mini boom of children.
Also the world is wonderful. Most people are good even if some are misguided by fear and impulse. It was just a few dicks that ruined it knowingly for the rest of us everything else. we could have solved if we had more time.
If you want to pull back the curtain read up on the National Association of Manufacturers and a man called James W. Fifield Jr. More than half of our problems were caused by those men and the other by Henry Kissinger’s short sightness.

Primary and secondary dns is not a thing. There is no priority for DNS. Depending on the device it will use ether address and will only try the other on failure.
