  • They should just stay mostly hidden as they are now. I was harassed 3 times while using kbin for my voting habits. When I brought it up to ernest, him and mostly everyone else defended it, even though at the time I was actively being annoyed by someone.

    It’ll make less people vote in the long run and will scare people off.

    Nothing worse than hopping on something I do for leisure to realize that thread I voted on a week ago has now come back to bite me in the ass because the OP decided to go on a crusade and harass everyone that downvoted them.









  • cost of fuel, insurance and car maintenance have increased

    As someone who drives for one of these companies, cost of fuel is only really an issue sometimes. When it gets closer to $4 a gallon, it stops being worth it. I do my own car maintenance so this really isn’t too much of an issue either. Car insurance though? You bet those fuckers have made plays to try and jack driver’s prices up. Some companies outright won’t insure you if you’re a driver without getting commercial insurance, which, from when I was shopping was over a grand a month in my state. (Mid-size sedan.)

    Acer has had this policy for over 20 years. I bought a laptop long ago from a vendor that I had issues with and they refused to give me support because I was running Linux at the time. (I forget what distro. Probably either Mandrake or early Ubuntu.) That laptop went right back to the vendor.

    Never bought anything from them since.
