Comment on 1994 white Kevin

I don’t say this much but that is actually a good idea, considering the amount of people that live very lonely and isolated lives. Maybe this can help some people to talk, enjoy another’s company, etc. Maybe. Everything else the effing internet and tech companies tried only managed to push people apart…

  Revamped the concept.

Except that it gives predators an easy way to be alone with drunk women. I wouldn’t trust Uber’s security checks.

  Same risk with a driver, I’d guess.

    Yeah but this is more accessible to those who don’t have good enough credit for a car.

  You don’t have to trust the security checks, but they had to submit their personal information and documents to Uber, and would be easy to find if they did anything. That’s much better than an anonymous stranger, and I doubt a predator would go through all that instead of just, you know, remaining an anonymous person on the street.

sure, it’s nice to do something about loneliness. Makes me think of human libraries, where you can borrow a human to have a talk with. But please, let’s do these things voluntarily and not for profit. There’s something nasty about “I’m only willing to speak to you if you pay me”.

  Isn’t that a japanese thing? With cafes where you go to talk with a person?
  
  But back to the subject at hand.
  
  I could see this as a way to get someone’s help to take some groceries home or some large object a single person can’t, as it is too akward to hold alone.
  
  Or as a personal guide or to have company to go to/through somewhere someone does not feel comfortable.
