It's not meant to be fair. Unexpected difficulty of the challanges is part of the game. They've said as much in The Layover. Challenges are meant to be completeable, though.
But this one was completeable without the on-demand taxi. Just not at weekends. How is that much different to challenges where they have to wait for a museum or bar to open? The problem really was them just assuming the taxi would run everyday even in March and not checking before travelling there.
The browser fussiness can still be an issue, though, unless it's a really small forum not wanting new users. You don't see the users who get doorslams.
Yeah, wants Firefox not a more cotrollable fork, spits its dummy out at certain adblocker settings, doesn't like privacy lists loaded into chromium, and so on. It seems fussy, probably because it's quite snoopy and sends tracking info back to the server as you read posts.
Petitions are the perfect example, it gives people the illusion that they’re having an effect. But in reality, when those 10k petitions are hit, it’s up to the houses discretion whether they even want to talk about it.
Yes, the way the UK Parliament handles petitions is absolutely terrible. Even though they are required to hear any petition that gets 100k, a House committee basically decides whether it gets treated seriously or not. What's really needed is a national equivalent of public questions to local government. I can understand that there would have to be some sort of signature or support-gathering requirement or ranking because first-come-first-served-with-a-time-limit (which is what happens at local government) would become an unfair fastest-finger-first contest each time the questions queue opened, but it could be better than the petitions.
I had two posts open in different tabs and the comment went to the other tab.
