A good user experience doesn’t pardon Uber’s excessive corruption. > Uber didn’t even start out cheaper than taxis. When Uber came to my city about a decade ago all rides were free to the passenger. So much cheaper than a taxi.

> There is nothing wrong with food delivery when used in moderation. This can be said about any addiction. The problem is addiction. If your not an addictive person that’s great, for you, but others are susceptible to addiction.

I’m sure this is a very cool thing. I would hate to drop it. What I mean to say is that I would inevitably drop it and at least a third of its screens will break as it bounces around. I’d rather save $290 and get a rubics cube.

Western states consume vastly more meat and animal products that poor nations that receive our aid. This is a trash take that will only hurt people.
