I understand the idea of reclaiming a slur. But general audiences might not recognize what you're saying for what it is. And nothing stops a bad actor from making the same claims and using the terms in bad faith, hence why it's generally easier from all sides to use different verbiage.
Does anybody happen to have contact with Ernest outside of Kbin? It's a little concerning that his last update over a month ago was that he was going in for a medical procedure and that he'd only be gone for a few days. I hope he's doing alright.
Therein lies the problem. They're self-employed. Unless Atlanta is specifically different, rideshare drivers are almost always considered independent contractors, so they don't actually work for Uber/Lyft/whoever. It's hard to make demands for better pay when your boss is you.
I imagine this is an intentional design choice by gig employers, as well.
Agreed, 100%. There needs to be some sort of system in place for this, because just letting people get away with such egregious violations does nothing but hurt people who actually need service animals.
Honestly, this feels like an even worse name, in my opinion. I really disliked the trend of removing the "e" from "er" at the end of website names during the Web 2.0 days, and it feels just as goofy today.
I can't complain too much, though. I'm mostly just using it for cat pictures and silly memes, and the Tiff app works just the same as it did before.
Hopefully that doesn't last for long. A LOT of attitudes changed overnight in Uvalde after the shooting happened. I've never seen a community turn on their police force with such unity before. I really hope they carry that momentum to the ballot boxes.
Very well said, thank you. Too many people see this and think "Tough, but them's the rules" without consideration to the damage this family suffered, and that others in this state will also suffer unless things change.
