From what I've read (may be wrong) a lot of people revert back to their old habits once they're off these drugs. Lifestyle changes are the only legitimate way to improve your health without negative long term side effects.

    I used to do food delivery for Uber/DD/Grubhub, etc. so I kind of know how it goes... I also never use Uber personally except for the few times I've been to foreign countries without good public transport, so this is the first time I've seen asshole behavior on the customer side of Uber.

    I'm well aware of how shitty they are to their drivers. I remember getting $4usd orders some days. It just makes me feel ill knowing that he probably got a shitty cut of the full bill, and I can't tip him what I feel is fair.

    Valid solution, but I just checked the app and there's no way for me to contact the driver and there is no Venmo listed on his profile.

    And knowing Uber, I doubt they would even allow drivers to provide links to tip them externally.

    This guy was very helpful and informative, and there was a really bad accident on the other side of the highway he was going to have to deal with on the way back. I was going to tip ~60% but apparently I'm restricted to about ~30%.

    It's very unfair and corrupt that a corporation of Uber's size can limit tips to the workers that are the entire reason they exist.

    Back when people said stuff like "Minecraft has terrible graphics!"... So they downloaded the most uncanny ultra-realistic 2046x2046 resolution texture packs to prove them wrong. 😎

    I only started using it a year or 2 ago, but I do agree with you. Every time I've opened it the past few weeks, it's AI this, AI that. I've basically stopped opening the app because it went from cool tech news with interesting discussions that made me feel like I was learning stuff, to repeated discussions about new AI models.

    Are you eating these unseasoned straight out of the water they boiled in or was this taken during the process of cooking? Because I'd suggest some spices. Can make potatoes & eggs taste a lot of different ways with a few spices.

    Egg or potato salad is decent & cheap if you can get your hands on some extra ingredients. Egg Salad Sandwich used to be one of my go-tos and you can literally make it with just egg and mayo/mustard if you wanted to (but I'd recommend adding spices & pickle)

    Would add beans to your list of things to eat since they're also pretty cheap, filling, and would help you out with protein, which from your post, it sounds like you may be lacking.

    Have been feeling this strongly recently. The people with the most signs are the least appealing to support. The food with the most advertisements seems the most likely to be trying to lure people into eating garbage.

    Surely there is a word for this? Spam doesn't feel like the right term when it's all over the place all the time. It's like you know it's wrong because there's too much money involved trying to convince everyone it's right.

     

    I called my ISP today to set up a static IP because my services keep being taken down from my IP changing. I either need a business plan or a 5-10gbps residential plan to do that...

    I cannot get on the business plan without a valid Business ID so that's not an option. And no way in hell I'm paying for those speeds.

    Anyone have any alternatives to stop this from happening so often? My public IP seems to change regularly every 2-3 weeks and it's getting pretty frustrating having to reconfigure things. I only have 2 ISPs in my area and they are both terrible. I assume I'm out of luck, but maybe there's some tech magic I'm unaware of.

     

    This is partially a rant and partially a cry for help

    I'm just wondering if anyone's got any links to sites to browse housing that don't make you feel like you're a fish in a tank full of sharks...? Like seriously, I hit a button to request a viewing of a house and they auto-created me an account, added the house to my "favorites", and now I'm getting spammed by the site and an unnecessary amount of "Agents". Very overwhelming.

    Like for fucks sake, I'm just trying to see what I can get for my price range in person. I don't have favorites. If it's not outrageously priced and doesn't look like trash, I'd like to see it. But they capitalize on their pretty AI-edited pictures, give you anxiety by spamming you, and send someone to the house with you that tries WAY too fucking hard to make you feel good in any way possible. It all feels wrong. I want to cut out as much bullshit as possible. (Yes, I'm aware somebody has to show me the house... so obviously that part can't be cut out).

    Seriously, if I'm planning to go into debt to secure a place to live, chill the fuck out and let me spend time finding the right place motherfuckers. I'm not trying to be rushed into a decision that ruins my life just so you can make more in commission for that month.

    So back to my question, does anybody know of any websites or services that scrape these disrespectful, mass data-collecting, shithole websites, or are they my only option?

    Alternatively, does anybody have suggestions on the best way to go about house hunting without feeling like you're a target or a "sale to be made"? I'm feeling paranoid about this and really don't want to be taken advantage of in such a major decision.
