Yes, this is where I come to bitch and moan.
If you don't like it,
please feel free to take a spiky dildo and stick it up your ass
(I was originally going to say "nice, spiky cactus" but the cactus is innocent in all of this,
unlike you).
It's been so long since I've last written,
and my brain is in a fog again.
To make matters worse,
I haven't even been working
out regularly and my stamina has gone to shit.
Can barely lift up
the Littlest Dictator for more than
a few minutes at a time.
I'm fucking anxious.
Between the GrabHitch fuck-up (the app still doesn't work for me),
and Uber (with Grab soon to follow, more likely than not)
rating passengers now,
not to mention the low opportunities for next year,
I really need to not only launch my own small side business and write comics again,
but also begin fundraising for my major project, Momo Ride.
Somebody needs to stand up to these large motherfuckers.
I mean, rating passengers?
THEY ARE NOT YOUR FUCKING EMPLOYEES.
What this looks like to me,
is another step towards policing behaviour
by large corporations directly,
instead of via manipulating governments.
Nobody disputes denying service
to passengers who behave poorly,
but these sorts of behaviour are well-established.
From racist verbal abuse to actual violence.
But a ranking system basically
is basically telling passengers (who may not have an alternative)
to behave according to their own narrow set of rules.
And these can be arbitrary as well.
Do you need to be super friendly?
Smile all the time?
Never get annoyed?
Is there way to respond to questions from the fucking driver
that is acceptable and non-acceptable?
Do you always need to say "please" and "thank you"
or risk a low rating?
I mean, what the fuck is this?
Who the fuck are you to tell passengers, customers what to do?
You are providing a motherfucking service,
but because you've become so large due to government corruption,
that you feel emboldened to fucking police your customers' behaviour?
No.
Go fuck yourselves.
Even if I do fail,
at the very least I know I tried.
Well enough of that.
