Seems clever and feasible to me. I suppose you'd need background checks on the passenger-couriers, but after that small hurdle, unless it's an urgent package like a pizza, transit riders could get anything across any city in an hour or so.

Where do I sign up?

Everywhere I go I'm usually the oldest person in the room, and I've been hearing that line since long before I'd ever heard of Donald Trump.

Always, the left has to support whatever bland middle-of-the-road candidate the Democrats put forward, candidates who seem idea-free and utterly without passion, because the Republicans have a terrifying candidate. Gotta take boring over terrifying.

And Bernie's right. I ain't arguing.

Sure is a bucket of swill we're always forced to drink from, though.

"You are viewing this from Firefox on Windows."

I should worry that this info is exposed?

I couldn't stay on Discord even long enough to be treated like shit. It has such an unintuitive and clumsy interface, at least for an old fart like me.

I am grumpy today and also tired of Twilight Zone memes, but this one made me larff. :) Thanks

If that's true, mega congratulations. I don't know much about the way things are in the UK.

If someone said that about my U S of A, though, I'd chuckle.

How utterly ordinary and predictable. The only thing unusual is, such deals usually don't make headlines.

This is why we're doomed.

There's a Firefox add-on that does this, but only for Reddit, of course. Click the line and you're on to the next top-level comment.

One of the few things I miss about Reddit (and of course, it's not even Reddit).

A novel approach. It would slow me down, certainly, if I was driving there, or walking.

Wow, you are the correct person to be a moderater, and I hope your patience holds out. OP has provided an incomprehensible picture with a nonsensical headline, and your response is so very polite. Me, I'd just roll my eyes and scroll away.

I'm from Reddit, so I have to add: I'm serious, not joking.

I've been here a month after 15 years at the other place, and it's an improvement.

Sorry you got clusterbombed, though. You asked a fair question, something I wondered too when I first got here.

Bad bot. OP is a newbie asking an honest question, and for that they get booted by a bot?

It would make sense to notify a human mod when a post is drowning in downvotes like this one, but it's a mistake to trust the bot to hand out suspensions.
