Isn't OP mocking them?

As β€œsomeone who gets distracted very easily,” he made the change to reclaim his attention span. Ditching his laptop gave him an environment where β€œYouTube isn’t around the corner” and he can focus on his reading.

This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.

Reminds me a lot of fellow classmates at my college who I discovered hate online classes because they say they can't stay focused. So I don't know how these "luddite" students plan to not get distracted when their job will most likely involve sitting in front of a computer.

From my assumptions, the drivers see ahead of time if you use a wheelchair because the app asks you to mark yourself as a wheelchair user.

So you'd only be accepting it if you wanted to.

I don't think the commenter wanted drivers to let people squeeze their wheelchairs into their tiny cars, rather that taxis are convenient because they can probably specifically request one that accommodates them. I'm guessing Uber doesn't let you do that, but I somewhat certain Lyft let's you notify potential drivers that you are wheelchair-bound in case their car cannot fit you.

That's really nice then. I'm wondering if that's why I rarely see any regular taxis. 90% of the ones I spot are the ones that are in between an SUV and minivan.

If a wheelchair is non-stowable (I assume it means not able to fold?), then why is a taxi different? Or are you referring to the large taxi cabs?

Wow, I've only been using Lyft for a good while now and I just assumed Uber took disabled riders as serious as they do.

I'm not disabled or have a service animal, but Lyft makes it very visible on the app that if you are one/have one, the drivers MUST be accommodating. They make it easy to report as well if they are not.

At least one company seems to care (I hope).

It's not even that I prefer grid movement but every video I've seen makes it look nauseating and a guessing game if an entity is on a tile. They took the tile-based art of SS13 instead of making a new one to fit the free movement.

Pixel movement is an abomination though.
