Work harder for the right to be paid less! CEOs are literally just seeing what rate and severity of impoverishment they can inflict on people without QUITE causing anyone to commit to a successful assassination attempt on them. In other words, they are engaging in capitalism.

lol, it's a stealth wage cut via pitting drivers against each other the "priority" drivers get more rides because the algorithm offers rides to them first, but it's not like the number of rides increases (especially since there's no mention of passing that rate cut to the customer in the form of a cheaper ride). so the more people enter the "priority" program, the fewer rides are available for the drivers who didn't take the wage cut. ultimately, almost all drivers end up forced to accept the wage cut because they don't get any riders otherwise guess Lyft is feeling good about their recent union-busting successes

Entorwellian posted:That looks depressing as gently caress. 1.) It's a dog. 2.) They're being left there for an hour, not their entire life. 3.) It keeps strangers pestering them, and more than likely makes them feel safer. What do you think is going to happen? The dog becomes terminally depressed and exits the thing with a two pack a day habit and bottle of whisky in it's hand, writing screeds against the cruel hand of man?

https://www.pcgamer.com/i-cant-stop...diNAmc1HKloSkAg I know this is tame in comparison but Murder simulator speed run feels like it belongs here quote:I took to YouTube to see how the professionals did it, and soon fell down a rabbithole of Hitman 2 speedrunning videos with 'blink and you'll miss it' assassinations. When I control Agent 47, he's lucky to take out even one target without me panicking and making him hide in a bathroom for half the mission.

Expect it to get fat on crisps & develop alcohol problems though.
