i took a ride on @Uber for what should have been a 50 minute trip from the airport
the distracted driver took a wrong turn and ended up on an expressway which added an *additional* 50 minutes to the trip as we were 10 minutes from my destination, leading to a massive overage charge, then took 2 more wrong turns after that
i submitted a support request via the app and it said to expect a response within 6-12 hours
almost 48 hours later and zero response or acknowledgement of the message
absolutely garbage support process at @Uber

Let’s talk about why the isolated Fire Nation Haven is completely ghosting the rest of the map.
Look at the layout, six Havens clustered together in the Earth Kingdom, and one solitary Haven locked away in the Fire Nation. That is textbook Sakoku, the exact same Edo-period isolationist lockdown. Before the cataclysm even hit, the Fire Nation slammed their doors shut.
And it gets worse: that Haven glows indigo. The literal third-eye chakra color, which gets choked out by isolation, cynicism and poor judgment. They didn't just separate themselves geographically, they built a massive spiritual echo chamber.
Is this Fire Nation Haven sitting on classified survival archives or are they just breeding the most toxic isolationist society in the new world?
