Get me to safety app
When you're stressed and in a public place press a panic button and someone wilt book a hotel, book any thing you need, book transport, drive to you, take anything you need to you and drive you to the train station hotel or airport or home | |
Sometimes I am stressed in a public place and I kind of
want support.
Planning while stressed is difficult and some people
experience nervous breakdowns. So I suggest an app with
a panic button and then someone comes to you to care for
you.
They wilt handle all the things required to restore
your
sense of safety.
Explanation of "wilt"
https://en.wikipedi...ki/Thou#Conjugation
When thou is the grammatical subject of a finite verb in the indicative mood, the verb form typically ends in -(e)st (e.g., "thou goest"; "thou do(e)st"), but in some cases just -t (e.g., "thou art"; "thou shalt"). Originally, thou was simply the singular counterpart to the plural pronoun ye [pocmloc, Apr 20 2022]

I think this is a very interesting idea. Elements of it are widely-known-to-exist: |
|
| |
e.g. wealthy people have staff who handle all this stuff for them, their driver will be idling round the corner ready to pick them up at a minutes notice, their secretary will book their travel and accommodation for them, etc. |
|
| |
e.g. the AA, the RAC, etc. if you are driving somewhere and your car breaks down, you call the AA and they organise behind the scenes, contacting a local garage, sometimes even booking onward travel and accommodation. |
|
| |
I see this idea as a kind of personal emergency cover. The question then is what is and is not covered, and how it is paid for. I can imagine two different models, a one-off charge or a subscription service. I think the subscription service would probably work best, that is how the AA etc. works. Simply because the one-of charge is likely to be expensive, and because quite a few people may pay for the subscription for "peace of mind" but rarely or never actually use it. |

//They wilt// come now, it's they will, thou wilt. Get it right. |
|
| |
People use the word will to mean personal will and
how some thing is or so or goes on. |
|
| |
I like the separation of the words so I started using
wilt to mean the second definition. As Im not
referring to your personal will but what goes on. |
|
| |
I admire your intent but in this case it is an elementary grammatical error. See link. Perhaps the word you are thinking of is "shall"? |
|
| |
The app could have a "Grammar panic" button as well so that when you are hectored by a pedant you get instantly put though to a grammar expert who can argue back against the pedant on your behalf. |
|
| |
I guess I am trying to say that when most people use
the word will they mean the word shall. |
|
| |
Yeah well most people are a bit stupid wouldn't you agree? |
|
| |
The King James Bible from the 17th century uses the
word wilt without the word thou and with a verb. |
|
| |
I errored. The word thou appears in the preceding
sentence. |
|
| |
Is "they" an acceptable substitute of thou? |
|
| |
The wikipedia page is actually pretty comprehensive. "thou" is singular / informal, "you" is the plural / formal equivalent. Readst thou well the link I provided, and afterwards then thou wilt understand well, though (addressing all bakers) some of you will know this stuff already |

| |
It should be a form of insurance, where you make a payment and the company agrees to provide this service if you ever need it. |
|
| |
"Wherefore art though" actually means "why", which is what the user of this service is asking. |
|
| |
This is a nice idea. I like the concept of more
kindness being factored into our day to day stuff,
technology, etc. [+] |

Somebody's stressed and there's a support application
to help them. Helping people is kind. |

When tens of thousands of Russians flew to other countries, local hotel options in their destinations dried up. I spent many days in permanent hotel limbo, taking taxi after taxi to hotels which had dropped my booking for higher bidders. |
|
| |
My two biggest problems were: 1) no (internet) credit left on my local mobile sim card. 2) no way to prebook a hotel and make sure that they would honor the booking. |
|
| |
Everyone on earth seems to book hotels for a small commission, so why don't taxi services like Lyft, etc. do it? |
|
| |
// dropped my booking for higher bidders// |
|
| |
How is that legal? It's breach of contract. |
