It’d be a fairer comparison if we could see Trump without all his makeup

Does this really deserve a post instead of a DM?

All that sounds great. I’m not pro-Uber so much as I’m anti-Taxi (as they exist where I live), lol

In my country, Uber fixed a lot of problems that existed with Taxis.

• Sometimes taxis wouldn’t show up.
• Sometimes taxis wouldn’t pick up certain people because of how they look
• There was no app that’d show you where the nearest taxi was and when it’d arrive. I’m not aware of any taxi company that has such an app now…yet there’s an app that’ll show you where the busses are (even across different transit agencies)
• You wouldn’t know how much your trip would cost until you arrived at your destination.
• Drivers would take longer routes or otherwise drive in “favourable ways” to increase the fare meter.
• In my experience, taxi drivers have been more rude than Uber drivers
• Taxi drivers would occasionally not accept certain methods of payment upon trip completion (and some would even try to use this trick to scam their passengers and likely their companies or the government by not reporting fares).

These all could’ve been solved by a regular taxi company, but I guess there was no incentive to make the product any better to the customers.

Going after the material is one thing.

Going after someone selling it is another. If the guy sold stuff and included pirated games in those sales, then he’s the problem.

Depending on the state and one’s farming capabilities, some people could already be halfway there! At least part of the year

Depends on the area (maybe), but I think it can do either.

Turning Red is very much a time piece for the 90’s, and many Canadians who lived in multicultural cities back then could probably identify with it or at least recognize the cultural references.

This doesn’t seem to hold true for native English speakers. The number of old white North Americans on Facebook who haven’t figured out punctuation, capitalization, or things like their/there/they’re is astounding.

Most Gen Z aren’t children though

And be weary of folks doing the same to you, especially here on Lemmy with all the ‘genocide Joe’ shit or encouraging apathy because of the shit debate.

I’m already quite weary of that!

(“Weary” means tired; you probably meant “wary” which means cautious)

Usually Twinings, but I’ll accept store brand for black tea. Lipton or Tetley for green teas.

I didn’t discount your personal experiences or suggest that your feelings are invalid.

What I said was that I think it’s unwarranted to extend your hatred to an entire group of people around the entire world (many of whom seek out the profession specifically out of a desire to help people) because of your experiences.

So they added an off-topic whataboutism so they could get up on their soapbox? Lol

Was WW1 preceded by many countries electing right-wing or “”“strong”“” leaders?

I’d imagine the people wouldn’t want to destroy their own infrastructure to stop the train. Though they could rebuild, maybe the people felt that it’d hurt them more than the Japanese?

And maybe the Korean people were taking pot shots at trains before they were armoured (which again, wouldn’t damage their infrastructure).

All just speculation here though.

I’m sorry to have infuriated you, and I sympathize with your experiences.

I know for a fact that your experience is not normal, at least where I live, and I think your hatred of all mental health professionals around the world is unwarranted. I know I won’t be the person to change your mind though.

The reason I suggested it wasn’t “negative emotions” or being an “unhappy worker”, but the part of your original post that (it seems you’ve edited out) suggested potential suicidal ideation.

There are some free or low cost talk therapy services, and not all of them will be “officially approved” by your government, which I think would be a selling point in your case. If you ever need help and don’t know where to turn, some of those might be of assistance. And I haven’t heard of any of them demanding your medical records before offering to help. I’m sure some of them are even anonymous.

Thank you! It was a few steps removed and I didn’t know it was there, but it was worth it!

Thank you. I tried to read the article, got two pop ups (for notifications and cookies requests, I think), then saw it ended in a paywall maybe a paragraph in. So, I was reminded why I don’t usually read articles, lol

I remember hearing that big box stores killed malls. I thought they killed malls, and Amazon killed big box stores, but Amazon can also kill malls, so it was a bit of a double-whammy for malls
