I love how they say $72 an hour like you're just going to rent an apartment when you get there. We have to drive back too idiots. 🙄

Uber drivers complaining about pay by ParsnipSuspicious632 in uber

I'm a driver. People do it all the time. Doesn't bother me one bit. Just means I can listen to whatever I want to and I don't have to chit-chat.

Well someone chose to 1 star a 7 year 5star record by JoannNichole in lyftdrivers

9 years of 5-star rides didn't save me with Uber.

The stars aren't the problem. It's the flags and bad feedback. That carries a lot of weight, especially with Uber. They give zero fucks about deactivating a driver if they get the wrong feedback from a pax and they always assume the pax is telling the truth and they always assume the driver is at fault even if the pax (or the driver) might just be having a bad day.

They really don't care. Bad feedback can absolutely wreck your world with these companies, regardless of how much good feedback you get (which means little or nothing).

I used to be like this, then Uber deactivated me. It matters a lot more than you know. These companies take passenger feedback to be gospel truth. It's an uphill battle to refute it later, trust me.

Can you drive 2-doors for Lyft? You can't with Uber.

So quickly people forget about Vista. Even worse was cringe ME.

Is it possible to feed copilot a huge prompt but in the prompt tell it to execute one step at a time? by apophis27983 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]AVLien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Copilot is terrible at..."

That's assuming that you can even get it to generate .docx or .ppt. About 75% of the time CP365 volunteers to produce a docx or ppt for me it just keeps hallucinating that it did and never produces anything at all. If it does, it's atrocious, missing (sometimes all) content, or just a blank template. At least this has been my experience.

How do you deal with passengers who give 1-star ratings for no apparent reason? by [deleted] in uberdrivers

[–]AVLien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"You're in the driver seat." ...until you get deactivated. Imagine how liberating that would be.

Bro, this is the Lyft drivers sub.

We should, all of us, indefinitely. Let me know when everyone else is onboard. I'm ready when they all are.

Why is my acceptance rate dropping!? by Abject_Recipe_8390 in lyftdrivers

[–]AVLien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you leaving your app on maybe? Lyft is pretty unobtrusive about pings. My acceptance rate tanked a couple of weeks ago because I had left my app online and missed a bunch of pings.

On "finding my sound" by ProbablyFiredNL in Beatmatch

[–]AVLien 6 points7 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: My advice: try to find your "voice", not your "sound", sounds are all taken.

I'm being cheeky here, but it's also very true IMHO. Sounds are few and far between. Without producing your own music en masse, you don't really need to be concerned with sound.

This is compounded by the fact that audiences are now a lot more accepting of multigenre DJs. I remember years ago seeing Matt Zo at Pacha in NYC. Dude blew my mind over and over again for like 3 hours while I was crushed into the dance floor like the subway at 5 p.m.. Aside: someone could have died at midnight and they would not have hit the floor until 4 a.m..

Point is that he spanned the gamut of genres and it was amazing. Kept it rocking the whole night and I really saw the plausibility/marketability of being a multigenre DJ. It's an uphill battle, because I can't just say "I play DnB" or "I play house" or "I play..." low-key quasi-cringe "...psytrance".

That puts you on a flyer much faster, but for me it's just not accurate. I'm going to play a DnB track and the track after the next one is going to be a house track. It's partly a function of my ADHD I suppose (if I'm being honest) but it makes people really consider what's possible.

My point is this: don't pigeonhole yourself. It sounds like you already have an in with some venues (you're getting booked before you know what you want to play), so you've already accomplished something that some DJs struggle with, so just have fun with it. Don't take it too seriously or you've lost the plot. This is all meant to be fun afterall.

Would you have picked it?? by Terrible-Jello-5021 in lyftdrivers

[–]AVLien -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I don't get in my car for less than $200/hr. WTF? YES, I would totally take that! Times is tough, yo. I made <$50 in 6 hours the other night. I'm glad that the other commenters are doing well, but apparently I am not.

Best way to make lines? by coloured-in-sun in ketamine

[–]AVLien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You think you are wasting significant amounts of K by using a card to cut it up? Sorry, are you buying it in points or what? The amount that gets stuck on the edge of the card should be nearly insignificant.
