i can’t wait to see this shithole of a nation burn to the ground!
“A coroner in western Illinois is facing sharp criticism for how he handles poor people who can’t afford to bury their loved ones: He has them sign over their rights to the deceased, leaving them without the death certificate, then cremates the body and keeps the ashes until the family pays $1,000.If they cannot come up with the money, the ashes are eventually buried, along with others, in an unmarked grave. If the family needs the death certificate to access bank accounts or life insurance, the coroner first arranges for the county to recoup its costs from any proceeds.“
my brain cannot wrap itself around the absolute inanity that is “limit schools to only one exit that can both be easily blocked to prevent escape and also create a choke point to allow more easy pickings”
like, not just the idea of blaming an abundance of exits over guns
the idea that “actually, there are too many possibilities for escape from this concrete box!” was a thought that entered this person’s head and then exited his mouth with zero checks in between
I had to spend $300 on a new car key because I left them in an Uber and the driver refuses to return them for some reason. I’m going back to Lyft. It’s more expensive in the moment, but the $3 more I would’ve spent on a Lyft was $296 less than what I ended up spending on the uber that still won’t return my property.
So they holding your keys hostage? What kind of shit is that
You should be able to contact uber directly not just the driver…but the driver shouldn’t just be holding your stuff…
@christinaleannaruth I reached out to uber. They know he has my keys but there apparently isn’t anything they can do about him refusing to return them 🤷🏾♀️
Is the Uber driver giving an explanation for why he won’t return them?
When I called him, he yelled at me that he was driving and hung up right after. Uber told me to give it 24 hours to see if he reaches back out.
@momo-mania I reached back out to uber because the driver is ignoring my calls. They sent him a message. Guess I have to wait another 24 hours.
Update: I just need to give it another 24 hours.
And Uber doesn’t have a fucking call line, so I guess he gets to keep my motherfucking keys
What kinda fuckery is this?
This may be a stupid question but; have you considered contacting the police? Refusing to return your property is as good as theft, surely?
Nopes. Police only recover keys if its an industrial building. I called non emergency today and they said it would be useless to file a police report. I’ve exhausted every measure. Social media, uber support, the police, all of it. And none of it worked. 😭😭😭
dude won’t even mail them?
UPDATE 3/16/18
Uber blocked my access to the “help” and “previous trips” tabs in the app. I can no longer reach out to them through the app and – if I hadn’t already screenshotted his info – I’d have no access to my uber drivers name and license plate.
PLEASE switch over to Lyft guys. Uber has made it ridiculously clear that they do not care about the safety and well-being of their riders
An Uber driver stole my phone. I got in contact with him a day or two after it happened and he just said “you can get it but only if you come by yourself”. I tried contacting Uber again and again and even reported him…but the nigga still has my old phone. It’s cool though, karma will get him.
I went in to try and report him and uber had blocked me soooooo 🤷🏾♀️ I guess they rock w him. I’ve tried to explain that this man has access to my house and car so many times and I guess they were like “we sure are tired of this bitch…… blocked”
Aw hell nah! that’s some bullshit. I would call Al Sharpton, Help Me Howard, Iyanla Fix My Life, TMZ, shit someone to make this publicly known 🤷🏿♀️
I had an uber driver openly solicited me for sex, after I made a clear refusal. So yeah uber drivers are usually trash
I dmed the CEO. Wish me luck on a reply y’all.
Oh hey, my keys are being dropped off at a hub. And all I had to do was reach out for a week straight, contact uber support via social media, have several friends blast them across all of social media, file complaints with the BBB and the AG, dm the CEO, and call their critical emergency number. Thanks for your impeccable customer support, Uber. I will never use your shit service again.
I thought we said Uber could go to hell over Trump AND their drivers raping like a year ago?
Hey guys I just want to give a heads up. The book Adam by Ariel Schrag has been turned into a movie which has been named as one of the most exciting LGBTQ films of this year. I don’t want to spoil anybody’s fun but you should know before watching that the book is about a cis boy who pretends to be a trans man in order to persuade lesbians to sleep with him.
It is deeply deeply transphobic. It is lesbophobic as it features a corrective rape narrative (a lesbian does have sex with him and then decides she does love men after all).
This book gives out incredibly harmful notions about trans men and lesbians that are used to hurt them in real life. It’s so entrenched in the narrative that I don’t see how the film can be any better. You can find more info in this twitter thread
I’d like to tell people to boycott it but I can’t tell you what to do. So instead I’m going to ask that you share this because it being named as an exciting new LGBTQ film is going to make LGBTQ teens want to see it. And they should know before hand how hurtful it could be. They should be able to arm themselves with that knowledge.
