Literally don't care. What I don't need is to be evangelised with whatever conspiracy theory or fringe religion my driver just joined the entire way back from JFK.
- dml2135 5mo agoAre you kidding me? That's like my favorite part about landing at JFK. How else am I supposed to keep up with the latest crypto developments?
- JumpCrisscross 5mo agoIn case you’re being serious, sometimes it’s fun. Most of the time, I don’t care. But the reliability advantage of Waymo is usually something I’m willing to pay a bit extra, and wait a bit longer, for.
- dml2135 5mo agoHaha I was obviously being a bit tongue-in-cheek, and it’s not true every time, but yes I do generally appreciate the wacky convos with cabbies when I land, it feels like a warm welcome home. Your comment resonated with me because this doesn’t really happen when just taking ubers around town. I don’t really know what’s special about the drive from JFK — maybe the length? or the drivers being used to picking up tourists, who are more chatty? — that brings out the hustle chat and conspiracy theories, but I guess it’s a thing!
