Getting rid of that divider has been one of the innovations with which Uber has disrupted not just the taxi market, but also public health!

I've seen video on Twitter that Didi drivers (Chinese Uber) are taping plastic sheets on their seats to seperated themselves from clients.

Clearly these innovators are now disrupting Didi. Disrupters within disrupters, we're going to reach a disruption singularity soon.

remember folks, death threats are totally ok and normal if youre an elected representative threatening your constituents!

You just have to make sure you don't threaten any specific individuals, and don't imply that you'd be causing any of the harm. So for example, you can totally wish something awful and unfortunate were to happen to a percentage of otherwise unspecified Indiana state legislators. I mean, not because that'd be good, but it'd be the lesser evil, obviously.

Even if we ignore the premise of female servitude, why is it necessary to know all six ways? Is she marrying six men?

You don't know in advance which way your man will like, and if you ain't ready to serve yo man to his wishes from the get go, what use is your life really?

I was lucky enough to take history classes with a lot of professors I really liked during my BA/MA and basically none of them were actually explicitly Marxist, at best they were some tepid flavor of socdem. except the dude who supervised my thesis and I still try to see often (went to a conference w him in February), who encouraged me to focus on Marxist theory for my thesis and has some cranky old man views but still basically believes in killing the rich and redistributing wealth

Marxism is really very uncommon on campuses, I developed a reputation with my seminar cohort for being the only actual communist in the program compared to several neo-confederate scumfucks and oodles of generic privileged liberals. still friends with most of them and they’re being heavily radicalized by current events at least

Also lmao at the dude stanning for Quantic Dream. Y'know, it's totally normal like Quantic Dream, the place run by a piss fetishist who single-handedly ensured that Ellen Page will never ever be in another video game.

No the Hollywood scam specifically is giving you points on the profit rather than the revenue, then using accounting tricks such as claiming the entire production costs of a movie whose trailer is shown previous to the actual loving movie in question as expenses on the actual movie, thus reducing accounting profits to 0 and leaving you with jack poo poo. The way around it is to take points on the gross revenue, which is what Keanu Reeves did with The Matrix and became the best paid actor off of.
