My guess is that women don't prefer to pay a higher price to get home safely but that's just reality they live in. Also it's an inconvenience to wait longer for a ride so why would they choose that just to spite men?

Also they (women) can probably decide from experience if they usually get harassed by men or someone else and choose to opt in to this program based on that. If it's nonsense then they won't do it because why would they.

Also only 23% of Lyft's driver are women (based on a super fast search) so this actually happens to also help that issue as well indirectly as their demand grows.

Well getting harassed is also not fair.

Also this probably will have an unintended consequence of letting the popular gender choice(s) earn more, as there is less supply and more demand than if the whole driver pool was available.

What about pissing and shitting?

More likely is that Cyberpunk was that big of game that neither platform wasn't willing to risk losing sales for not being out day 1.

Honestly, I wholeheartedly support this move. For a couple of (obviously subjective) reasons:

• Lemmy/kbin isn't ready. If Beehaw staff were able to fork their own version of the base code with their moderation etc. design preferences in mind, this would be another thing -- though even then it might not be enough to be worth it with the headache of fediverse moderation.
• Closed system/community is more personal, hence more productive and less noisy. At least before it outgrows itself.

What I'd hope but is also more work and potentially creates conflicts, is that the new platform provides good moderation logging etc. Which I think is key feature to ensure trust and self policing.

What's there to play and what's still coming?

Whose money is it laundering?

How is dismissing a correction with a blunt "nope" nice and tacking on etymology when we're talking about modern use of the word?

Yeah what kind of linguistics dweeb doesn't understand that language is fluid and shapes with time and location.

That game seems pretty loved, I wouldn't be that surprised about a remaster. Though it would have to be a pretty barebones if it can't compete with a ten year old release.

Not really an advocate for piracy but I wouldn't have any qualms about recommending that route to you.

Well, civil wars between citizens and cops.

Maybe a bit of context would be in order because I don't know anyone who would even blink if you started your day at work with soda.

Though I think if you started your average morning with drinking a soda first thing would be a bit weird. But it's the same kind of weird that having hamburger meal or a full roast as breakfast is. It's just not customary.

I'm too lazy to do my due diligence but didn't Tucker have him on his Twitter show just recently?

Wii.

Emotions motivate everyone.

It's insulting and counter productive to say this thing is about dumb people following their emotions when education, money and opportunities play such a big part.

Yeah that dude makes enough noise by himself.

At least he puts them to use. I bet he's sad all the time.

While I don't think it's as straight forward calculation as Norgur thinks, you're forgetting that star power has marketing reach beyond just name recognition on a poster. People want to hear from them. They give interviews, promote at events and give status to the movie: It will be featured more in media which in itself means that more people will hear about it (even if they don't choose the movie based on that name) which means they're more likely to consider seeing it at a later date as they recognize it.

If I'm sure about one thing, it's that people are disgusting. I'd much rather avoid touching the door after using the toilet when my hands are clean. And even in the case that the door is disgusting, you can wash your hands both before and after.
