Didn’t you hear? He’s too tall for a tugboat

The more I think about it, though, the more I think this is a genuine discrimination case. If Uber had rolled this out and said “White drivers can choose to pick up only white passengers”, would that be OK? Or even “Male drivers can choose to only pick up male passengers”?

Heck, I even think if they rolled this out and said “female users can choose a preference for only female drivers”, that might be able to fly, because it’s the buyer of the service expressing that view.

But to me, for the people offering the service, there is no difference between this and someone who doesn’t want to make a cake for a gay wedding. When you are offering a service to the general public, you can’t really discriminate like that. Yes, I understand the safety thing. But a store that catered to women wouldn’t be able to bar men from entering at all. Why is a car service any different? Yes, drivers are using their own cars, but it is still a car service.

You know what sucks the most about this? They’re probably gonna get sued over it, either by the Trump DOJ or some shitty Red State AG, who is probably gonna win.

No joke, electricity is getting so expensive that I was just about break even on running my PHEV on gas vs. electric… Then this happens to make the choice easy again

Right, but is this the best way to address this, by telling women “All men are the same, they will harass you, they can’t help themselves. So here, click this button and you will never have to pick one up?”

Well, yeah, this is the same type of shit that is used to denigrate Muslims, or trans people, or any other marginalized group. “Some of them are violent, so we won’t trust all of them!”. I don’t think we really want to go there, much less with half the human race.

Is there a technical definition of “large” that justifies this? If not, then this is all based on feelings.

I think it’s bad news to generalize entire large groups like this, no matter how good the intentions are.

I wonder who he pissed off in order to actually have to face consequences as a Republican…

Sigh.

Donald Trump did not get elected President (Twice!) by listening to experts…

I understand why women feel this is necessary, but I also understands that a policy like this paints all men with the same brush. It’s like they are saying “Since a small number of men are creeps, we give you the option to avoid all men”. Which seems to be counterproductive.

Meanwhile, Uber has invasive tracking, where they know everyone’s history. They know how many drives a customer has provisioned without incident. And I have always considered these rideshare things to be particularly safe, because all parties are consenting to the tracking. That’s not guarantee nothing will happen, of course, but it is more unlikely when all parties know Big Uber is watching you.

If Uber had rolled this out and said “you have the option to avoid rides with the opposite gender without an established history in our files”, then I think I would have less of a problem with it. But it seems like I can do everything right, and be respectful of everyone, and give Uber shitloads of money, and still be potentially waiting longer for a ride, just because of my parts. How is that OK?

which I’m more than confident that he’s good for

lol

“They’ve shot everything they have to shoot, and they better not try anything cute or it’s going to be the end of that country.”

He’s gonna nuke them, isn’t he?

No, Harris didn’t only lose because she was a woman. But it didn’t help. I think Americans hold the Presidency in a different regard than other offices. Some Americans who would be perfectly fine with women in other offices will draw the line at President.

The thing is, they may not even be conscious of it. They might just have that nagging concern that they can’t quite out their finger on, leading them to dismiss the female candidates out of hand, without even realizing their lizard brain won’t let them fairly consider them.

It’s because enough people in the swing states just couldn’t bring themselves to vote for a President with the wrong genitals.

No worries, the SecDef knows he is “clean on OPSEC”…

He looks like a slightly older, depressed and bloated, Caillou…

No gold star, you can’t vote.

Wait, they won’t take a passport? That’s nuts. I can see them requiring a DL in addition to the passport, because your passport doesn’t prove where you live, while a DL does. But not accepting the passport as proof of citizenship at all is bonkers.

Which backwards state is this?

When is the last time that fat fuck bought gas? I don’t mean in some golf course budget, I mean when was the last time he got his own fat ass out of a car he was driving to pump his own gas?

How do you get your ID document? Does it cost a lot to get? Does any official look at perfectly valid ID and say “I don’t think that’s real, so you don’t get to vote”?

We have no national ID here, the closest thing to prove citizenship is a passport but people are not required to have one, and it is expensive. For most people, the only definitive proof of citizenship they have is their original birth certificate.

That is why here, in the US, when politicians push Voter ID laws it’s mainly to disenfranchise poor people.

Karoline Leavitt refusing to rule out a Draft,” Nilsson wrote Sunday in a social media post on X. “Once the Congressman’s and Ivy League parent’s children get drafted it’ll be a whole other ballgame.”

Whoever this “Nilsson” is, we know they’re a moron. Because those kids are getting the best deferments money can buy.

But what happens if the UN designates the stench coming from his diaper as a noxious chemical weapon?
