I don't know if you guys get to experience this, but down in Dixie it's a big dick-swingin' thing to just ramp your truck forward over the parking spot block instead of backing out

there is scientific research that the more expensive of a car you drive the less empathy you have towards other drivers not that driving like a dick is exclusive to people with expensive cars

capping fares at the time that supply will be shortest and demand highest absolutely guarantees shortages during an emergency dynamic pricing is only efficient when uber wants to make money, the rest of the time, shortages are fine

Shifty Pony posted:must be a regional thing. the biggest assholes here drive luxury suvs Yeah, when I'm on my motorcycle I make a point of staying far away from any large luxury suvs. Bmw x3/x5 and any Lexus thing especially. They are guaranteed to be the angriest shittiest drivers on the road, every time. Also zipcars. Might as well put a sign on that says "I SELDOM PRACTICE MY DRIVING SKILLS AND I AM PROBABLY NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS VEHICLE"
