Dog meat is one of the major proteins in Korean and they even have a dog eating festival, obviously less people are doing it right now in the modern days.
Lmao. Eating dogs is illegal in Korea.
I actually got a rematch at the airport on lux, shit trip that took 30 minutes total for $30, two huge heavy suit cases with no tip, SMH.

That's not true, although I'd say it's definitely uncommon now than it used to, back then people were poor so they didn't have much choice when it comes to meat.

Look, I am not judging and I am simply stating facts, and I believe you have every right to eat whatever you want (as long as it's not human) because of different culture, history back ground etc. There are also fishing villages in Japan hunt and eat dolphins, which most people detest, I won't do it nor support it but I try to understand people who do it for a living.

Americans and many westerns just like to judge others because of "moral high ground", arrogance and racism is what is really behind it. The truth is, what other people eat in their countries is none of your ****ing business nor you are better than anyone.

I remember eating dog soup when I was a little. My mom lied to me saying it's beef. Later when I found out, did not talk to my mom for about a month.

But, not gonna lie. It was really tasty.🤣

Like I said, there is nothing to be ashamed about. Back then Asian countries were piss poor, we ate whatever we could find for protein. If we had a ****ing choice in the first place, you think we wouldn't pick steak and chicken over those mysterious meat? Why do you think there is flank, tendon and tripe in Vietnamese pho? Because meat wasn't enough.

"Dog meat is majority of Korea's protein" is wrong n stupid to say.
Dog eating days are over, but I do believe the older generation still do time to time. It's something Koreans picked up during the korean war when they had nothing to eat. But it is illegal to do nowadays.

Stop talking about another country if you don't have much info about it.

Who would know better, you or me?

😂 …. Yeah **** LA traffic. I got back not too long ago after an LAX drop off since I was ready to eat my lunch and get back to OC, I declined like 4 trips before putting it in destination mode (which I know is mostly useless with Lux, but I didn’t want to get spammed with short trips trying to keep me in LA).

LA will keep you more active than OC and you can make a similar amount of money in each, but in OC more of your income is coming from miles while in LA you got to earn that shit with slow, grueling minutes 😅

I said it in past tense, it was one of the sources of protein for Koreans, there were two breeds of dogs actually raised as meat dogs, and I said it's uncommon now, you need to read more carefully. If any of above comments are false, please feel free to correct me with concrete proof, I am very happy to learn new things that can change my opinion.

As regarding eating dog is illegal now, do you have source on that? Most results showing it's neither legal or illegal, it's just not common because you don't eat pets.

I know a lot more about Asian countries than most of you combined here, whether it's Korea, China or Japan. Would you like to hear stories about the atrocities Koreans committed in China during WWII? Yes, prior to WWII, Korea was under Imperial Japan's occupation and many Koreans actually joined the Imperial Japanese Army invading China, commiting worse crimes than the actual Japanese, and you didn't even get a slap on the wrist after the war.

I don't think it's a good idea because Uber can use their secret black box pay system to skim the tips the way they do with Eats and the same way Doordash, Grubhub, and Instacart do with their black box pay systems.

All of the above companies use tips as a way to reduce their payouts to the drivers.

Do you really think Uber will keep their greedy paws off the tips?
There used to be this option, it was called the multiplier.
The multiplier option is definitely better than tipping in advance. Tipping in advance would give Uber the opportunity to skim the tips and use the "proceeds" to reduce their payouts to the drivers.

Also, pax could engage in tip-baiting.

Yeah, I don’t know if we want Uber to become like Uber Eats where the current fares become “tip included” fares that can get reduced by tip baiting.

Having to worrying about things like this just goes to show what a ****ed up society we live in, there is such a lack of trust because few are left with integrity thanks to greed.

Someone apparently did because the screenshot shows the trip was already taken.
I would agree upfront tips would be great

Well it’s been 6 years or so since I was globe trotting, so things may be different in a lot of areas…but America is generally more of a “rat race” life if you are not middle-upper class or above. The lower class to middle-class are contending with a relatively high cost of living compared to people in the same classes living in many of the poorer countries. Our high GDP should lead to security and prosperity, but we lack the social safety nets that people living in other first-world countries have.

I’ll let the thread go back on topic tho 😅 .
Between oil for heat , gasoline for my car and electricity for everything else middle and lower class In USA are getting sent to the poor house
