Science somehow proves the existence of an afterlife, beyond any doubt. They don’t know exactly what happens, but it’s definitely neither Holy judgment nor oblivion. The leading theory is some type of reincarnation or “parallel universe” scenario.
What do you do?
That’s nice to know, but irrelevant to me right now. I’ll live out my life.
Screw you guys, I’m outta here. Suicide!
This is going to be world-changing in ways we can’t possibly foresee, most of them probably bad. I’ll wait and see how it pans out.
That’s kind of disturbing. I might just prefer oblivion.
A spin-off of earlier poll: At what age do you think you could be considered reliable/mature enough to handle having $100 million dropped into your lap, all on your own, and not make any major mistakes with the $$$?
I would have been mature enough before age 20.
Age 20 to 30
Age 30 to 40
Beyond 40
Honestly, I don’t think I’d ever be mature enough to handle it well.
American Airlines is planning to offer a bus service between its Philadelphia hub and a a couple of smaller, nearby cities. Of course an airline utilizing a bus on some of its routes is providing lots of fodder for the late night comedians and the panelists on Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me (Even though IIRC it’s not the first time an airline has offered a bus connection). But I could see some advantages of the service, at least for people originating in one of the smaller cities, especially since a lot of people simply drive to the hub airport a couple of hours away rather than taking a flight from their local airport.
Passengers would clear security at the smaller, local airport before boarding the bus. At Philadelphia they’d be dropped off at the secure side of the terminal and can head straight to their connecting flight.
You wouldn’t need to pay for fuel, tolls, and parking versus driving to PHL.
So, if you were traveling to or from a smaller city that was say a 2-3 hours driving distance from a major hub airport, and one of the airlines was offering a bus service like this, and a competing flight to the smaller city had pretty much the same door to door time (Say it has a longer layover) would you take it?
Sure, I’d try the bus service
Maybe, if it was a lot cheaper than the flight
No, I’d still take the actual flight to/from the smaller airport
