well it isn't like those with mental illness (or facebook users) are known for thinking clearly.

i just can't think of a more perfect way to gently caress with someone with depression than to systematically and surreptitiously scrub their news source of all good news. like if it were a person doing it to another person it would be pretty textbook emotional abuse and destabilisation.

forget suicides

think murder-suicides

we're now in the area of distinct possibility that one or more of those has happened with a not-insignificant push from this poorly thought-out lovely as gently caress "experiment"

The doorways are inscrutable

the doorways are also horizontal and/or slanted

can we talk about chinese food instead

I had some inscrutable seafood hotpot on friday with my wife and her cousin and aunt, for some reason it was all personal pot setups instead of 1 for the table, so we had 3 spicy hot pots and I picked the traditional medicine broth for variety's sake

I poached the poo poo out of my wife's side of the table for the lobster and stone crab claws tho

then we ended up sharing the traditional medicine pot because it was delicious after I cooked all the herbs and taro roots and scallops and poo poo in it

except that in the story the girlfriend left the store and the cashier still wouldn't sell it to him because she knew he could give her the alcohol when he leaves the store

how far does it go? does the cashier wake up at night in a cold sweat thinking that somebody she sold liquor to might have gotten drunk and had sex

srs q do any other cab/private car services offer an app like uber's? it really wouldn't be hard to mimic and it'd be nice to have actual real drivers

some do but according to this vc market research breakdown (that shits all over uber's "valuation") no single group controls more than like 1%-ish of all cab service in the US

I looked into this last time it came up and I think the $12b figure was the taxi and limo industry revenue last year, not a valuation

total 2013 US revenue for ALL taxi/limo/etc services: $9.7 billion

Yeah Uber's valuation seems to basically be based on the idea that they will take over any and all car-driving everywhere with their vehicles (and driverless vehicles)

and once they have to do that they'd have to actually be accountable to every single thing you'd need to do to operate multiple fleets of (driverless) vehicles

which is counted among one of the many many things they're trying to avoid having to do right now because ~disruption~
