The other guy didn't say it was OK though, you're adding that part and then getting mad about it.
Fair point, the person I replied to didn’t explicitly say it was okay or that they said they felt it was ok. I took their comment as a kind of indirect victim blaming, similar to how you hear people say things like “I wonder if that would have happened if she was wearing something more conservative” — that’s a bad assumption on my part, and I appreciate your calling me out on it.
Um, okay? It isn't unreasonable for @anotherandrew@lemmy.mixdown.ca or anyone else to perceive it that way. "Maybe X wouldn't Y if Z wouldn't A" is always a classic logic chain putting the most blame on Z.
It could be a commentary on the type of people who gravitate towards jobs that don't provide enough compensation, Lyft certainly doesn't have that market cornered.
