This protest is entering its second day.

These protests have been going on for months in one form or another, actually. The regime is getting increasingly heavy-handed in how they deal with opposition in an attempt to convince the world that everything is fine.

They do. The Indian diaspora (especially the boomers and older millennials) are shockingly rabid in their support for Modi and Hindutva nationalism

And in that event, the cancelation fee is the responsibility of the person that booked it, not the Uber driver’s.

That’s on you if you’re trying to send your kid off in a stranger’s car against both common sense and the company’s terms of service

Weird. I’m on Boost right now and it loads perfectly for me

There is to me. It’s the taste of alcohol and I hate it

Alcohol. I cannot abide the taste (or aftereffects) of alcoholic drinks, that shit ruins everything

I came in here expecting people would want rightwingers and fascists banned. Instead a bunch of y’all are here just going “I block out anything that’s not fun!!!1!!1!1! I don’t want to be reminded of the very real issues that plague the world!!” which I mean, you have every right to do that I guess. Good for you, enjoy your hole in the sand

taking a wireless phone call via an earbud isn’t illegal.

I don’t know why you’re so hell bent on defending someone driving distracted but where she is and where I am it absolutely is illegal

Do you guys remember that before Bluetooth cars, headphones were the only way to drive and take a phone call without getting a ticket

Absolutely. Speakerphones were never a thing, and phone manufacturers never made wired accessories or aux cables to connect to your car stereo.

someone could have hit her car and the mirrors broke

True. Broken mirrors look exactly like they’ve been neatly tucked in.

If you can hear sirens, car horns and whatever else you need

That “if” is doing a LOT of heavy lifting. Also it’s technically illegal in India, where this was taken

No the fuck it isn’t

So those mirrors would have been literally smacking into throngs of pedestrians on all sides if they weren’t folded.

Well no. Even here in India we tend not to drive straight into throngs of pedestrians, nor do said pedestrians throng in the middle of the road. It’s just flat out irresponsible to drive with folded mirrors – even more than you’d think considering how horribly people drive/ride motorbikes here

In a community about the problems that cars pose, we don’t give people a pass for being careless simply based on how shitty their car may be.

(Also this photo was taken in India. That woman is richer than 80% of the population based solely on the fact that she owns a car)

Imagine if they were Satanist

We’d be a hell of a lot better off, considering levelheadedness and rationalism are central tenets of Satanism

kids have plenty of places to play

Like where? Where’s the nearest public access park or football pitch or playground that a kid can wander into any time of day to play with their friends?

No. LMAO! I don’t.

I wasn’t quite expecting you to just come out and admit it but thank you for your honesty. Saves the rest of us a lot of time in trying to decide whether you should be taken seriously

You open the garage door before you rev your engine, do you understand?
