Random Rants #63: These Rants Don't Run

[cardgame]

Will try to force the tip next time to see what happens

rant: if you help people with their computer problems without being an outright business, they expect your help for the smallest thing. I'm not responsible for your incompetence!

 

[Snerk]

Are we still doing phrasing?

 

[Arakhor]

Baby, you can frase if you want to.

My best passengers are a mix of demographcs. My median quality passengers are a mix of demographics. My worst passengers are almost all women. Why is this. Why do I feel like I can't voice this publicly without ensuing a turd typhoon.

I recall back in my youth when my neighborhood had a substitute school bus driver. This was 8th grade or so. There was a near riot to the point of the driver having a breakdown, and the bus, which was new at the time, got trashed. The driver said that the girls were worse than the boys in doing it.

They are probably just wording it incorrectly. The little introductory video I watched when I first signed up said if the passenger tries to to tip, inform them that tipping isn't necessary, and if they still offer the tip it is okay to accept it.

EDIT: Either that, or Uber has changed their policy to completely disallow tipping.

Ask An Uber Driver thread when?

There's a Brazilian joke being spread around social media now: Where do taxi drivers always avoid?

Spoiler :

Uberlândia

Don't know, but it won't be me that starts it since I don't drive for them anymore.

As far as I understand it über drivers in Norway will be shot on sight by the authorities these days.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, we already know that Norway has licensed troll-hunters keeping the Dovrefjell a safe place, so this sounds like an extension of that policy.

Nice, someone caught my phrasing

Shhhh!

Keep moving citizens, nothing to see here!

Almost fell asleep sitting at an unused bus stop at 5am this morning aka a minute ago. I am no longer on the metaphorical rails.

I should burn some containers of gasoline and keep all the lab equipment running this coming Earth Hour. That'll teach Earth not to have one day of sunshine that requires winter jackets followed by a week of snow and rain.

It was 83 degrees three or four days ago, today it's 40.

Why are you out and about at five in the morning?

 

[Takhisis]

That is certainly an ungodly hour.

Rant: It's impossible for me to even download the client that will help me download Armored Warfare. There are no threads on this issue, and the tech support threads are basically ignored, meaning that issues cannot be solved.

Started playing EndWar, but it's not a great fit for me.

I can't really run any new games, can't afford the hardware needed to do so, and have played all my old games to death.

Grr.

Armored Warfare? That's like modern World of Tanks right?

Have you given War Thunder a try? I've heard its highly scale-able for lower end machines, plus I find its tank combat far more enjoyable than the one in World of Tanks.

It's modern, though I don't know how it compares to WoT.

I've heard good things about Warthunder but I'm not really into WW2 armor and in any case, I probably couldn't install it either. So frustrating...
