I drive a delivery truck around the city for a living and watch taxis "drive" all day, ~~I wouldn't piss on them if they were in fire~~ I don't value them.

Where do you live?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

The government is directly controlled by their individual billionaires.

Oh yeah, I don't think either are great, but at least Uber didn't require drivers to submit to some crazy legal Ponzi scheme while paying for special driver's licenses and competing with other drivers for the good shifts on a shared taxi licence. The Taxi mafia lobbied my city pretty hard and now Ubers get the opportunity to lose money to a middle man too! I've seen a bunch of taxis straight up also driving for Uber throughout the city.

Taxi drivers in my city also have something else Uber drivers don't- a licence that was bought decades ago and is limited to a certain number, they never expire and can be bought and sold between private parties and you end up with one asshole who owns a bunch and rents out the licenced car to drivers who pay him a rent. It's a pretty hardcore mafia and predates on immigrants.

They are also fucking maniacs who almost kill people every day with their reckless driving, but Ubers do that too.

Wait my Zoomer buddy definitely has a wallet thicker that George Costanza's. I'm starting to think the internet is just full of lies for making us hate each other.

Hi all, I'm new to this community and this is me attempting to participate.

I've been repairing and building bikes for a good long while now. Mostly I bought parts off of Amazon or my local bike stores but I've run into a bit of an issue finding a bullhorn bar-end brake-lever/shifter combo for a 1x8 road bike. I can't find anything being made currently anywhere. I'm even starting to consider contacting some local machinists I know.

I guess this is the danger of endlessly customizing bikes to the point where you want to do stuff no one else has any interest in doing.

So let me know where you guys get parts and what your favorite procurement methods are for rare stuff.

As a millennial, the only humans I hate are the rich. The rest of you are cool, even if some of you are dumb as rocks.

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 134 points 7 months ago

Are we pretending that millennials are affording apartments alone? Cause I know very few doing that. Moving back in with your parents, though, that shit's common.

Just say ninja, every time. All those songs can be fun songs about ninjas.

Hey can we stop normalizing dying in office? This shouldn't be normal.

All I'm missing is the more niche communities to grow. It's good to see lots of memes and engagement but a man needs more.
