Uber and Lyft in Waterloo

Which drivers are more active? I work at 3AM in healthcare in Waterloo but I live in Traer, which is a 30-minute drive, so I usually leave the house at 2:30AM. My sister who usually drives me is not available for tomorrow, so I’m looking into Uber and Lyft. Which one should i use? Uber is cheaper for me since there are discounts for new users of the app but I heard there aren’t many drivers. Do people even drive around that time? Or should I just call in to say I can’t come to work? Please help me!

Hey Yall I'm a full time (not famous) comedian coming to Octopus this Thursday on a 17 day tour. I'm fully DIY by choice and have spent the last 13 years zig zagging the country headlining shows in 37 states (and Canada!). Come have fun and AMA.

Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.

It’s hard to find a friend

Hi. I’m a 55 yo married white male from Iowa. I am posting this because I have no friends. In fact, I struggle with making friends and maintaining friendships. The main culprits would be my autism, anxiety, depression, and low self esteem.

All my life I have struggled with friendship. I never had any true friends, just people I went to school with or work with. No one invited me to hang out or come to their parties. If I wanted to do something, I had to do it alone.

I’m 5’11, 250 pounds, usually have a 5 o’clock shadow, losing my hair up on top, and would have what many would say a dad bod. I am kind, compassionate, empathetic, intelligent, and love learning new things. I suffer for mental health issues, but I am currently working on making myself the best person I can be. I am passionate about Star Wars, Lego, music, feeding the hungry, helping the homeless, and taking care of stray animals.

I am open to talk about anything. I am very honest. I am a logical thinker, and can come across and dry. Because I lack social skills, I often say things that may seem odd or inappropriate. I struggle with small talk and often don’t know what to say. I will only communicate via texting.

Looking for someone who is understanding of all my issues and can be a true friend. Looking for someone who is going to stick around and not ghost me after 1 day. Would also like someone who is capable of helping moving the conversation along if I get stuck or get focused on one topic.

I can be a great friend if you give me a chance. I’m open to all ages. Hope to hear from you.
