Lyft, DiDi, Bolt difference is about 0 in most locales. KakaoT is by definition 0. Your list is wildly outdated in the first place because half of them don't have Uber as competitor anymore because it left the market. In the above case

> all that will be left, right That assumption is wildly different from you losing your cushy software job. The large majority of US jobs are neither cushy software jobs, nor grueling manual labor.

You're gonna stop here, being responding only the least relevant part of my comment, because the rest can't be argued with.

No, that's not how the DOJ picks what to work on. They did not work on indictments of James Comey and Letitia James because someone wrote district attorneys.

Ah yes, such nutball countries who have apparently been on the cusp for 30 years. Wild definition of cusp for sure.

I wonder if this depends a lot on location? Or a Facebook thing rather than Meta-wide, though I think they don't actually let you distinguish when running ads? Until last year I used Instagram and most of the ads I got were actually re

I'm not the person you were replying to, but yes. Let me show you the issue. "Why is half the site blue now? I asked you to change one button."; half the site isn't blue, why would you say that? What would "half the

The annoying there here isn't Claude, it's the "human". "It's not X but Y"-satire not intended. It was annoying to be forced to send such dumb replies. Half the site isn't blue, why would I say that?

No. These companies have correctly figured out that it's much cheaper to buy out governments so they won't actually punish them for all the regulations they break or institute new such regulations. That's the weird timeline w

What's your point? If someone murders your family in cold blood "with an ideal" and they "see themselves as good", for example because they believe your family consists of infidels, does that make a difference? In a

Any reasonable person would interpret the original comment as the "generic you" rather than the "second person you", but nice save.

If I don't get accepted into art school, I might as well exterminate a few ethnicities. Actually, yours seems worse. Bringing about "the end of all professions" sounds like you're talking about ending humanity.

This too isn't true. Most of the services you listed only operate in one (or at most a small few) countries. I know for a fact that in some of them, Uber is not the highest price. Instead, in some of them, Uber and the ones you liste
