For the first time, I saw a car with Uber stickers in my country. Wanted to peel them off, but I also don't wanna get in a fight over it. Pretty sure it'll mostly be used by foreigners because the local alternative has several years of advantage and is also a multinational now.
friend, if i gotta burn down shit while facing forced disappearance to el salvador, you'd better be peeling the corporatists' stickers off cars to protect your local alternative
Why?
so that you can google map together?
i assume, if this were real, which it isn't, the idea would be that everyone on the app has to pass a background check, so if you're walking through an unfamiliar neighborhood and you're a class of person who has reason to fear walking alone, you'd have someone there with you to help you be just a little more safe. obviously not as good as an actual trusted friend, but for certain people in certain situations, better than nothing
So they can't hire anyone in the class of people who'd have reason to fear walking around in certain neighborhoods?
Women, trans men, and certain minority groups would be discriminated against in their hiring? Or would using this service come with the risk of someone that's more likely to get you targeted?
I feel like this wouldn't work for many reasons.
A lot of people can pass a background check that you wouldn't want to escort your daughter.
No different than getting in an Uber or taxi for that matter, except it's harder to escape a car on the highway.
no for sure. it's just we live in hell and there's gonna be times you're gonna be somewhere and you're like "even a pretend friendly stranger who sucks will be better than nothing"
Even more so, a pretend friendly stranger that’s documented as being in your location.
Honestly this is a great joke but also could legitimately be a good service for someone who didn't feel safe walking alone, or needs help navigating
how can it be this cheap though? sure it doesn't require gas but it takes longer so the guy would need more pay for the service right?
Especially if they'd help carry your bags and whatnot; that could be very helpful for someone who has mobility issues or just has a lot of things they need to bring. Well worth $7.50
A lot of university campuses have this. It's a good idea.
John Mulaney has a joke about how his parents knew Bill Clinton that way, from all going to undergrad together at Georgetown. Apparently all the women loved being escorted by Bill Clinton, and the men were all jealous.
They probably don't charge money for that service though, and that's a better idea.
It's at least 5 years old and it seems every single year the news outlets "fact check" it and declare it false.
Meanwhile we have actual conspiracy theories on official government websites and those same outlets say nothing.
I hate this timeline.
This would be legitimately amazing.
