I feel like it's objectively worse when it's unneeded
Aspirin is a specific thing but there's no need to say "I'm calling an Uber" when an Uber's just a type of taxi or cab
Boomer Poles call all sports shoes Adidas.
Associating a brand with a product is basic marketing.
Americans are subject to marketing heavily and are easily influenced by it.
I don't even know a different word for Aspirin.
Also common here:
Tesa for Duct Tape
Imbus for an Allen Key
Obviously Lego for Lego like there is nothing else propably
Aspirin is literally a generic name, whereas Uber is a specific service that has a significant difference to a regular taxi...
Ibuprofen
Ibuprofen is a different medicament not a different name.
kek
That's because asprins brand name is bayers aspirin
Ibuprofen is:
Methylpropyl)phenyl]propanacid
Aspirin is:
Acetsalicylsacid
These are two very different things actually.
Lets say it like this:
Acetominophen:
C8H9NO2
Aspirin:
C9H8O4
Ibuprofen:
C13H18O2
I've never used Uber nor do I know anyone who has. I thought it was an American only business until I read other anons on Jow Forums referring to catching/calling one.
Weird.
It's banned in most countries due to certain regulations but some other posters here are enormous American cocksuckers that like to inform Americans whatever American stuff is available in their country, see Brits that keep posting about five guys/shake shack.
In terms of effect 2 are alike and interchangeable, 1 is not
Really? Its fucking everywhere in Perth, taxis are pretty much dead.
>see Brits that keep posting about five guys
This is a store I found out about during that whole Gamegate thing, lel.
Maybe it's a city thing, desu.
Why would anyone not do this? These are really specific and original products that don't really have any other names.
>Hmm, I have a headache. I should probably buy some acetylsalicylic acid.
>Oh! Looks like an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network is about to start on an American media-services provider headquartered in Los Gatos, California, founded in 1997. Time to bring out my chocolate sandwich biscuits and flavored tortilla chips.
Ibuprofen I only take when I have some serious shit because it has a very bad effect on the stomage.
Aspirin I take like candies whenever a feel like because its the weakest of them all.
Acetominophen (Paracetamol here) I take when I have some serious fever.
They all are different things for me with different uses.
The worst 2 are kleenex and band aid. Growing up people would confuse me by saying band aid instead of a bandage because I thought that was just the correct pronunciation of bandage. I'm pretty sure it's a marketing strategy.
>Hmm, I have a headache. I should probably buy some acetylsalicylic acid.
We tend to refer to painkillers as paracetamol.
>paracetamol
that just a Brandname for : C8H9NO2
It's Acetominophen in some countriey.
Faggot.
Take your meds, user. Have a lie down.
Faggot
Generally you can take either ibuprofen or aspirin or acetaminophen for pain but acetaminophen is not anti inflammatory
Both ibuprofen and aspirin are prostaglandins antagonist, and upset the stomach
Acetaminophen reacts with alcohol and can damage the liver, overdose of ibuprofen and aspirin hurts the kidneys
Ibuprofen is just a biomechanically safer aspirin
>but not me, my superior intellect renders me immune
He didn't imply that.
Americans really are a bit thick.
Tho is bout that all of them are Brand names and nobody would use the proper term for them.
Peopke do use the generic name
Glad to see I'm not the only person that has problems with ibuprofen
Not even a doctor ever told me to take a isobutylphenylpropionic acid.
I copied this out of the wiki. And I don't think I will ever use this term in speech.
You know what else has pisses me off
The way they use brain in plural
>Wow, he blew his brainS out
>You've got the brainS for this task
humans have a brain, a single brain. we have multiple braincells and two brain parts (left and right) we do NOT have multiple brainS
They are brainwashed by advertisements, that's why
That is the chemical name, when they become discovered as a drug they get a generic name first
And what is the Generic name?
Ibuprofen is a protected tradename.

It's banned because it's fair competition and taxi unions buy/convince politicians to protect them from it at cost to the consumer
It's banned because it's nothing but single paki men undercutting taximen with families to support and taking their business
It's English you tard. British people say that too
>implying you don't say"i need to take an Alvedon/Ipren/Treo" instead of huvudvärkstablett
And we gladly take the cost so we know we get payed well for our labour too. :)
I have literally never heard someone call water "Dasani". Maybe Coke or Sprite but bottled water is water to pretty much everyone.
Hurrr people need to support their families! That's why you shouldn't be allowed to pump your own gas you paki
If ubers are low quality, they get rated, and if you don't like pakis, you can see their pics and names before you buy. Taxis? You get what you get.
Whats wrong with you guys, are you 60 years old or something? I've literally never taken any of these drugs in my life.
Dasani my son.
You man now.
Will you take bitiful Mnevala from friend tribe
or that 60 year old white tourist lady with cash
....
KARA BOGA
But it makes no sense grammatically
>for our labor too :)
Hahaha do you think the economy revolves around making sure people get paid well? It doesn't, and without the productivity of the real economy, nobody would get paid. In any case you can have a minimum wage with Uber
You can see the pics and names of taxi drivers too if you use their app. Uber is literally nothing but pakis mate. There's a reason pakis are working for Uber and taximen aren't, they can't afford to settle for what single young immigrants can. They have responsibilities rooted in this country
So if you don't like pakis take a taxi or find a huwhite uber driver and if you want a high minimum wage then vote for it
Doesn't mean you should be able to just ban a busoness because muh protectionism you luddite
People in every country do this
>foreigners lecturing people on English language.
Just fuck off you annoying little cunt.
Because you get your impressions of americans from media with paid product placement
We don't subscribe to your free market meme in the Old World mate
where do you live
Sure it does, brains plural just means the same thing as brain or smarts in some cases
>he played his heartS out
makes zero fucking sense
>free market meme
>hurr ban businesses because muh pakis!
Commie kike. Move to Portugal you shitter
tesa for duct tape
tippex for the thing that "erases" written text
those are the only things i can think of here
What a wonderfully colourful map with no source. Thanks for sharing sweetie x
"Aspirin" is a lot easier to say than "Acetylsalicylic acid"
"Kleenex" is easier to say than "facial tissue"
"Oreo" is easier to say than "chocolate and cream sandwich cookie"
"Dorito" is easier to say than "deep fried flavored corn chip"
"Xerox" is easier to say than "multifunctional printer/scanner office machine"
Different chemical compound
>posters here are enormous American cocksuckers that like to inform Americans whatever American stuff is available in their country
Jow Forums literally thinks Americans are subhuman demons, what the fuck are you talking about?
All English speakers do that, you can't just be pissed at us about it.
That still doesn't make it an American thing.
>He puked his gutS out
>Spill your gutS!
see in that case it actually somewhat makes sense because the 'gut' is composed of several different organs or 'guts' can refer to the contents inside the gut, it makes absolutely zero fucking sense talking about the brain since there absolutely is only one
>Jow Forums literally thinks Americans are subhuman demons, what the fuck are you talking about?
I'm talking about that loud annoying minority of Brits and Poles that can't shut up about their visit to the Taco Bell or Pizza Hut.
>Woah I live in London did you know we have this REAL GENUINE AMERICAN BBQ place I go there a lot I'm just like you!
Also I don't think Americans are subhuman demons I just feel like 20% of the posters should have a ban outside of Jow Forums and Jow Forums.
I'm not opposed to Uber but I do believe that in it's current form it's just a rat race to the bottom with no winners but the company itself.
Taxi people had to pay big money to have their license so you either make these licenses compulsory for Uber drivers too or you pay them back their investment.
Wouldn't matter if I had a source
Your only justification for supporting Uber being banned is "muh pakis" even though uber heathrow has plenty of white drivers
>infers that i'm stupid
>writes posts like these
In the UK Taxi drivers have to take actual tests where they have to name every street in fucking LONDON. I think a huge part of becoming a taxi driver there is driving around London for a full year on a scooter just to learn every street etc.
Once again the idea behind Uber is great but just like Magapedes hate Mexicans for undercutting American workers, Uber undercuts Taxi workers in it's current form.
still literally haven't heard an opposed argument yet other than insults and 'the other guys does it too so it can't be wrong!'
how many brains do brits and americans have in their heads?
>Taxi people had to pay big money to have their license
They shouldn't have to. The license should be near free, there shouldn't be state fundraising in the form of licensing. Protectionist bullshit that benefits established corporations at the cost of new businesses aka competition and the consumer.
>rat race to the bottom
You can have minimum wages if you want
>Jow Forums
There is 0 evidence gun control works and you're much safer with a gun than no gun or running away or knife in a violent confrontation eg robbery
So now I really wonder how ancap geniuses like you feel about Mexicans coming into your country and offering their services cheaper.
>Still noisily trumpeting about his inability to grasp the English language
Well almost all of that knowledge is useless because we have google maps now which is much better than rote memory and guesswork as to how much traffic there is on x street at y time
Undercutting wages is called fair competiton and good for the consumer
God your fucking retarded. Its a common phrase in English. Doesn't Danish have phrases and slang.
>the native speaker can't even argument for his own language
embarrassing
Libertarians are statists
I am unironically a genius, 140 IQ
Illegal and legal immigrants are a different group of people and I don't think they should be here in the first place; if they weren't, those wages would go to native Americans and would have to be higher. Even so our food is cheaper thanks to them.
>your
So unlicensed immigrants undercutting the established working class is bad but unlicensed taxi drivers undercutting the established taxi workers is good.
The difference between the immigration "license" is that they are a completely different group of people, so any wages that go to them represent less for US workers, less producer + consumer surplus
Within the same country and same group of people, undercutting wages preserves and in the case of Uber actually raises producer + consumer surplus because the useless and expensive license process is removed and Uber is generally a better service, google maps, etc--whereas all the taxis in Europe I've taken still use their fucking satellite GPS map built into the cars that has no idea about traffic
Between the immigration "license" and the taxi license*
>what are idioms
You are an utter spastic. You're posturing as some smug, intelligent gimp but apparently you need us to spoon-feed you a very simple linguistical concept.
This is one of the few times I agree with American free market ideology. Uber is the future, busting up the corrupt taxi unions. I personally foresee similar Uber-type services cutting out the middleman in the future when it comes to other basic services too, like plumbing.
>American
Canada has higher economic freedom than the US
you've been posting your hearts out
Funny how the "most free" countries also happpens to be the most cucked countries
>"Look I still don't get it!!!"
Tedious now, lad.
Ireland is more into that meme than we are.
I guess I can't keep up with your multiple brains, don't stand a chance
I firmly believe in economic freedom, I’m mostly referring to the Americans who bumble on about “much free market will fix everything”
>Treo
I remember those! They were in the metal tube thingies, right? That really takes me back... *sip*
"Brains" refers to grey matter.
Like, the amount of brain-making stuff you have. Thus, when you "blow your brains out," all this brain-making bits splatter everywhere. When you "have the brains," you have enough brain bits to think through something.
Words can have multiple meanings, you absolute sperg.
>banning people from driving around other people
OH NONONONO
THE ABSOLUTE "STATE" of YUROPISTAN
A bicep is made up of much muscle tissues, which combine into a single muscle
Now ironically we since we have two biceps, it makes sense to put them plural. A heart is made of a bunch of different valves which again combine to a single unit. A car is made of many different parts which combine into a singlular car.
Having the 'brains to do something' is just a lazy way of saying having 'the brain power to do something', and it's fucking wrong too.
You can blow sombodys lungs out
You can blow somebodys eyes out
You can blow somebodys kidneys out
You can't blow someones livers out
You can't blow someones hearts out
You can't blow someones brains out
In the USA actually it's also banned to drive around schoolbusses without proper papers, you know that?
he kinda did tho you tard
You mean a CDL?
Scotch for duct tape
Xerox for photocopy
Unitas for toilet
Pampers for diapers
All I can remember for now
You shoukdn't take aspirin, it's geberally being sidelined as an antiimflamatory or anti pain medication because it can cause problems with stomach, and also makes blood thinner, which can be dangerous in case of a haemorrhage and strains the heart.
As a rule of thumb you should use ibuprophen when you don't have problems with kidneys or liver, or paracetamol when you do because it's less toxic.
t. medfag
Also paracetamol does not treat inflamation
???
They’re the most common OTC medicines in the world
Disperin, that was a medicine. *gulps*
