Can I ask why you wouldn't?

Personally it kinda bugged me to hear you don't. I drive uber and lyft sometimes, and those short within a mile trips only pay about $3 and some change depending on the time of day. It feels horrible to have to take them out necessity and see that the rider didn't tip a buck or two. I'm in California so it might be different in NY but right now I just checked it's about a $8ride from my home to the donut shop I like. If I was the driver in that situation I'd only be getting $3

What I’d give for an $8 ride. We should work something out on the side

I thought this guy was pretty great. I didn't expect this half-hearted backlash.

Still getting giddy at Christopher Walken impressions though? Must be nice.

I can't speak more than a few sentences without having to catch my breath. Can type no problem between treatments. Still stuck at hospital. May be able to go home and die in peace soon.

In the land of the great river, where the waters flowed endlessly and the forests stretched on for miles, there was a place called Confluence. It was a place where two mighty rivers met, and their currents merged together in a dance of great power and grace.

At Confluence, the people of the land would gather to celebrate the coming together of these two rivers, to marvel at the beauty of their union and to offer up thanks to the spirits of the water. For it was said that at Confluence, the waters were blessed with great magic, and those who drank from them would be granted long life and good fortune.

One day, as the people of Confluence were gathering for their annual celebration, a stranger arrived in their midst. He was a proud man, with a sharp tongue and a quick wit, and he seemed to take pleasure in mocking the traditions and beliefs of the people.

"Xenotitty is dumb!" he declared, as he strode through the crowds, laughing and jeering at those who tried to stop him. "Why waste your time with such foolishness, when there are more important things to worry about?"

But the people of Confluence were not easily swayed by the stranger's words. They knew the power of their river, and they had seen the wonders it could bring. And so they gathered together, and they began to sing a song of thanks to the water, their voices rising up in a joyous chorus that echoed through the trees.

As they sang, the stranger began to feel a strange stirring in his heart. He had never heard such a beautiful sound before, and he found himself drawn to the river's edge, where he watched in wonder as the two currents met and merged together in a swirling dance of blue and green.

And as he watched, he began to understand the power and the beauty of Confluence, and he knew that he would never again mock the traditions and beliefs of these proud and wise people. For in that moment, he had found something that was far greater than himself, something that would stay with him forever, and remind him of the magic that can be found in even the smallest things.

Sure, sure. Are you dead yet?
