    sure, it’s nice to do something about loneliness. Makes me think of human libraries, where you can borrow a human to have a talk with. But please, let’s do these things voluntarily and not for profit. There’s something nasty about “I’m only willing to speak to you if you pay me”.

      Isn’t that a japanese thing? With cafes where you go to talk with a person?

      But back to the subject at hand.

      I could see this as a way to get someone’s help to take some groceries home or some large object a single person can’t, as it is too akward to hold alone.

      Or as a personal guide or to have company to go to/through somewhere someone does not feel comfortable.
