Have none of y'all heard of rental cars? Just a few weeks ago, I missed my morning flight from SF to LA and was told the next one wasn't until later that night, so I opened my phone, booked a rental car, took a Lyft to the pickup

I was his second girlfriend, and he'd just gotten out of a multi-year relationship. We met while interning in SV. We broke up soon after I went back to school, and I think he just ended up getting back with his ex, so...

I dated a guy once who, after a couple of weeks, asked me to marry him--citing this problem as his reasoning. I said no. Butt he's all I ever think about whenever I hear it mentioned, so.

Howard specifically tries to brand itself as a school that has a large amount of economic diversity, and a high percentage of students who are first generation college grads (around 38% for the class of 2014 [1]). Its a pretty well-known&#x

As a former Howard student, I think the school's just hella cheap, but also doesn't like getting negative attention from the outside. Students (myself included) have been complaining for years about the quality of the buildings, a

Its probably more complicated than that. In areas that don't have bike lanes, people tend to just bike on the sidewalks, and pedestrians just put up with having to move out of the way. The reason is likely a mix between being historica

Yeah, at this point, it might just be lingering feelings of luxury, even if its no longer the reality for the most part.

Probably because coffee shops tend to charge two to four times more for a cup than a diner would. Like, you could buy a bag of coffee grounds for the amount some people pay

I think another way it could have been put: no one cared enough about bike riders to put in bike lanes until wealthier riders moved in. Like, yeah, totally agree that bike lanes are an important part of any city's street planning. The

Hey there! Could you send more deets to support@voteplz.org ? There are a number of reason why this could have failed on our end that users have run into in the past: anything from maybe entering your name incorrectly (people who type in &q

Making it simpler for people to vote isn't prodding. "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink."

This is actually false. Most states require you to either mail-in your registration form (which requires access to a printer, knowledge of how to use the postal service/where to get stamps [which, let's be honest, a lot of young p

I think the way that we're taught to view elections is fundamentally flawed. People see the Presidential election as the most important election that you can participate in, because its the vote for the highest office in the country. B

I feel like photo voter id reqs wouldn't be that controversial if there were a "free" (paid with taxes, obz) state-issued id that everyone had access to. You can get passports and state ids made, but they defs cost money.

I also disagree with electronic voting, but am a huge supporter of: - automatic registration - election days as (paid!) holidays - national no-restrictions on requesting absentee (some states require you to vote in-person unless you have a

I doubt any means of simplifying the registration process will ever be enough to make people who don't want to vote vote.

There are a wide variety of reasons as to why registering to vote should be as easy as possible, and most of them have nothing to do with convincing people who don't want to vote to vote (I mean, ideally, we should live in a society th

OP: "Shouldn't YC be as friendly to not-for-profit startup founders as they claim to be to for-profit founders?" Made it sound like they thought VotePlz was a for-profit/getting more promotion because of that (which it i

How is this splitting voters if you have more than one place to register? That's like saying having multiple DMVs in a state would make it harder for people to get a driver's license
