I just use the same combination that I have on my luggage

Because the techbros are pushing AI (really LLMs, but that is too many letters) for everything to justify their insane stock valuations

Sorry, but discrimination is discrimination, even if the people doing the discriminating are doing it for reasons they think are just. If stuff like this gets normalized, it’s only a matter of time before it’s weaponized against others, and the trans community in particular.

There’s a direct line between things like anti-trans bathroom bills and this. Surely I can’t be the only one that sees it this way?

There’s always money in the banana stand

The more I think about it, though, the more I think this is a genuine discrimination case. If Uber had rolled this out and said “White drivers can choose to pick up only white passengers”, would that be OK? Or even “Male drivers can choose to only pick up male passengers”?

Heck, I even think if they rolled this out and said “female users can choose a preference for only female drivers”, that might be able to fly, because it’s the buyer of the service expressing that view.

But to me, for the people offering the service, there is no difference between this and someone who doesn’t want to make a cake for a gay wedding. When you are offering a service to the general public, you can’t really discriminate like that. Yes, I understand the safety thing. But a store that catered to women wouldn’t be able to bar men from entering at all. Why is a car service any different? Yes, drivers are using their own cars, but it is still a car service.

You know what sucks the most about this? They’re probably gonna get sued over it, either by the Trump DOJ or some shitty Red State AG, who is probably gonna win.

Right, but is this the best way to address this, by telling women “All men are the same, they will harass you, they can’t help themselves. So here, click this button and you will never have to pick one up?”

Well, yeah, this is the same type of shit that is used to denigrate Muslims, or trans people, or any other marginalized group. “Some of them are violent, so we won’t trust all of them!”. I don’t think we really want to go there, much less with half the human race.

Is there a technical definition of “large” that justifies this? If not, then this is all based on feelings.

I think it’s bad news to generalize entire large groups like this, no matter how good the intentions are.

I wonder who he pissed off in order to actually have to face consequences as a Republican…

Sigh.

Donald Trump did not get elected President (Twice!) by listening to experts…

I understand why women feel this is necessary, but I also understands that a policy like this paints all men with the same brush. It’s like they are saying “Since a small number of men are creeps, we give you the option to avoid all men”. Which seems to be counterproductive.

Meanwhile, Uber has invasive tracking, where they know everyone’s history. They know how many drives a customer has provisioned without incident. And I have always considered these rideshare things to be particularly safe, because all parties are consenting to the tracking. That’s not guarantee nothing will happen, of course, but it is more unlikely when all parties know Big Uber is watching you.

If Uber had rolled this out and said “you have the option to avoid rides with the opposite gender without an established history in our files”, then I think I would have less of a problem with it. But it seems like I can do everything right, and be respectful of everyone, and give Uber shitloads of money, and still be potentially waiting longer for a ride, just because of my parts. How is that OK?

No worries, the SecDef knows he is “clean on OPSEC”…

He looks like a slightly older, depressed and bloated, Caillou…

Karoline Leavitt refusing to rule out a Draft,” Nilsson wrote Sunday in a social media post on X. “Once the Congressman’s and Ivy League parent’s children get drafted it’ll be a whole other ballgame.”

Whoever this “Nilsson” is, we know they’re a moron. Because those kids are getting the best deferments money can buy.

I think the crosspost has issues, this links only to the pic for me. But the original post links to the article: https://thegrayzone.com/2026/03/06/israel-fbi-assassination-plots-trump-iran-war/

¿Por qué no todas?

Back in the day, there was no drag-and-drop, and everything was done through a keyboard with arrow keys that needed the shift key to switch between directions.

I see someone never used GEOS back in the day…

Yeah, but have you considered what Joe and Eileen Bailey think?

It’s frustrating how they’re “really focused” on the thing that is not the war they started on a “feeling”…
