Sadly it doesn't seem to say why the guy is so irate.
I mean he's obviously blown a fuse and she's clearly trolling him. Her refusal to leave is what keeps him going, but I wanna know what got him started.
Alas, I can't seem to find anything more than what the video shows.
The correct reaction from him would be to remain calm and alert the police, 2 hours and hundreds of dollars in lost fares later, he would still have his job. Sucks to be him?
Bodybuilders generally avoid large doses of soy protein if they can help it (ie, if better sources like whey are available) because anecdotally people experience some issues. Much of that may simply be bro legend, but if you're taking in say, 120g of concentrated soy every day you're in a very different situation to someone who sometimes eats tofu or soy sauce.
What I find interesting is that someone like PJW whose physical condition is mediocre at best thinks they're in a position to talk. I could pretty easily tear that guy's arms off, and I eat soy.
Is it bad that it took almost 40 years and this post to make me realize there was soy in soy sauce and that wasn't just like, a name?
Kinda like how there isn't coffee in coffee cake?
coffee cake is for eating with your coffee obviously, and soy sauce is sauce to put on your soy
Honestly the idea of putting soy sauce on soy beans is...eww.

She probably wanted to be dropped off at the emergency room doors but he dropped her off at the main entrance. Many hospitals are built in such a way that those entrances are different, or are at least confusing enough to look like they are different.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
The thing is if you look up a hospital address it gives you the main entrance. The ER may be a different building entirely. That dude gets paid to take her to the address she gave as her destination which was likely the main entrance, he doesn't get paid to drive her around a 100 building campus looking for the right place, and every minute she sits in the car at her destination he's losing money.

That's actually not true, Uber drivers are paid by the mile and minute. It's in the agreement we sign, and varies from market to market. Even if you use the Pool service the driver still gets paid by the mile and minute (but at a lesser rate).
Passengers can change their destination at any time (on non-Pool rides) so it just keeps track of your GPS position and the ride time until the driver ends the ride.
He definitely has the right to kick her out of the car though, no debating that.
Get out of the car and give him one star. You don’t get to just chill out in a private citizen’s car because you’re mad at them.
Yeah I don't think there's many, if any, scenarios where if someone asks you to get out of their car you can just refuse and not be a massive douchebag for doing so. Unless it's like a highway or something dangerous or life threatening or something like that.
Even as someone who loves bright and absurdist comedy and has no real attachment to YJ, I hated every second I watched of Teen Titans Go!
I feel like it is very hit or miss. I loved the episode in which Robin wanted their show to be educational and settled on the topic of how to become a landlord, as well as the Oregon Trail episode.
There was also an episode in which Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy were captured by a villain and every single one of Robin's plans to escape involved their future selves using a time machine to come back and save them. These future selves included elderly versions, ghost versions, reincarnated-as-animals versions, evolved versions of the reincarnated versions, those versions' ghosts, etc. It was beyond absurd.
I think that Uber video really just demonstrates the contempt that privileged, middle-class people have for service workers.
"This guy didn't drive me exactly where I wanted him to! I'm going to have to walk now! I have the ability to fuck with his livelihood already by giving him a poor rating, but fuck him, I have to remind him that he's a fucking prole and I'm in charge. Why should I leave his car? Why should he get to own property? I'll leave when I fucking feel like it, because the world revolves around privileged, solipsistic fucks like me, not this subhuman piece of shit"
It's not the only time I've seen the camera phone/Youtube threat used against service workers. "I'll publicly humiliate you if you fail to show the proper obeisance" is a hell of a threat.

Yes, the thing that most people understand about the phrase "service industry" is the servitude.
We're not people, just humble servants begging for scraps.

Fucking hell Jim Sterling is intolerable. Like, I was genuinely curious to watch that video because I play Destiny 2 pretty casually with a friend. But just his whole presentation and voices he does and attitude is just so damn obnoxious I couldn't finish the video.
Yes, not making it clear to the player the EXP they were gaining at level cap was bad. No, I don't really think it's a big deal as the EXP was from bright engrams specifically, which are limited to purely cosmetic things like shaders have zero bearing on the games standard loot progression treadmill which is entirely independent of the EXP you are earning. I don't think anyone was ever grinding EXP in Destiny 2 to get those sweet bright engram drops. They were farming public quests get tokens for the main loot progression in the game.
Like, it's a good point to raise and bring to people's attention I just wish Jim Sterling didn't sound like a petulant child.

You should be so lucky to grovel at my feet for a chance at coin to continue your meager existence.
A lot of assholes see the ER staff as service people and try to treat us as they would a walmart employee, acting like giant douchebags. I get to remind them that we don't have corporate overlords who are willing to swoop in to their defense when I don't bend over backwards to appease their every desire, and we do have standards of behavior for when they're on our property. Some have even tried that "i'm going to pull out my phone and post this on facebook!" bullshit only to find their phone being taken away by our in house police.
A loot box only containing cosmetic items != it's not a problem. Turns out people want cosmetic items. People like playing dressup. So it doesn't matter that it doesn't affect "gameplay" it's still pushing a psychological button.

As I said, it's not great, what they were doing. What was happening should have been clear to the player.
But comparing it to the loot boxes in CoD:WW2 is disingenuous at best.
Big game companies are really pushing the limits with in game gambling micro-transactions this year and people are starting to get fed up and lash back. He's just getting a little gloat in before people forget they're mad at this and loot boxes in everything are the norm.
He's not comparing them to the loot boxes in CoD:WWII. He's using the loot boxes in CoD:WWII as an example of what Activision is willing to do if it thinks it can get away with it. He's saying, don't trust this statement or laud them for changing it because they only changed it once it was called out.

Of course but it's also maybe not really effective to make that point the way Jim does consistently which comes across as the whining of a child rather than someone actually concerned with the ethics of exploitative business practices.
He seems to waffle between Consumer Advocate language that often comes across as petulant because of they way it seems to be detached from anything other than entitlement to a better Product to be Consumed by capital G Gamers but sometimes slips in some more convincing language about how yeah, these systems are shitty and exploitative without really exploring the idea that maybe gamedev at the highest levels is unsustainable, probably because that starts to hew close to a critique of capitalism and no one in his position wants to touch that subject too closely.

I'm going to disagree, loot boxes are a problem, sure they're not malaria, but they are still a problem.

You're agreeing. Aistan is saying loot boxes, even cosmetic only ones, are a problem.

I blame Ivan Pavlov, him and his damn responses.
Everytime loot boxes come up, someone usually pipes up about how cosmetic items are not a problem.
Comsetic items in loot boxes are not a problem for me personally. Because I don't give a toss about cosmetics and loot boxes are dumb and not worth engaging in.
I understand that comsetics are a big deal for some folks and locking them behind loot boxes sucks a lot for them. I'm excited to see what comes out of some nations in the EU investigating loot boxes as gambling produces, as I'd love to see loot boxes stripped out of games forever.

Still, it's kinda his fault for being so easily antagonized.
If she won't get out of the car just roll on up to the nearest police station and have her escorted out.

It’s just not funny. Clever at times yes, but never funny.
Weird Al as Darkseid came close though.

To be fair though she is a psychopath.

He can make a good point when he isn't undercutting it with his shitty attitude and dumb skits to be honest.
