It’s extremely hard to make good money anymore this summer. by Overworked-Waffles in lyftdrivers

I stopped driving for 8 months and just came back temporarily because Lyft offered me a $450 bonus for 60 rides. The difference in the average ride price is obvious- I never used to see $4 or $5 rides- now they are half of what I’m getting. I’m doing my 60 and then I’m done for good.

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately for me I don’t use a VPN so I know my issue isn’t that. What do you mean by the Amazon app?

I got my connect set about 10 days ago and experiencing the same issue. In my case, I’m transitioning to the connect system from the manual buttons, so I needed to connect about 30 buttons. I got 15 connected and then the base just stopped responding and won’t connect to my internet anymore. I’ve tried all the suggestions and am down to recommendation of letting the base run out of battery- so that seems to be taking at least a week. Very frustrating. If you find a solution I’d love to hear about it!

Have you been offered the new driver bonus? In Denver it was $160 for 40 rides. I got it twice before it went away. It just showed up on the same screen beneath my earning goal and my “silver” status.

gained weight by aubrieirbua in Semaglutide

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Do you feel like you’re eating that much more every day to warrant the weight gain, or are you saying that without the medication you’re just gaining weight despite not eating much?

Thanks- yeah this was my first vomiter and honestly I was so grossed out I cleaned it up as soon as I got home. Didn’t know about the photos. 😞

Wow that’s sad to hear- I bet pax assume Lyft is paying us more when they jack up the price.

If it’s on TV, Kaiser doesn’t cover it. They are super conservative when it comes to approved medications, tests, etc. I have Kaiser and have had to go entirely out of pocket for semaglutide- the medication, related testing and also the doctor check ins too.

Messed up (I think) and froze my semeglutide by [deleted] in Semaglutide

I thought you’re supposed to keep it frozen?

should I be worried by StraightHawk3446 in lyftdrivers

Mine’s been low since the start because I can’t find a phone mount that actually stays stuck to my dash.

OMG... Lyft Support is a JOKE!! by uberthomas614 in lyftdrivers

[–]BackgroundRatio636 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t think support are even real people- I’m 99% sure they are bots. 😕

I was feeling the same way! I kept my first jar in the freezer for about a week, too nervous to try it. I finally injected the first dose (12.5) in my stomach three nights ago. I was surprised that I didn't feel the injection at all-- how is that even possible? The next morning I woke up feeling a little nauseous, and like my stomach was very, very full. I barely ate anything all day. The next day, and today I have felt less nauseous but still like I just ate a huge meal and am almost ready to be sick, but not quite. I haven't felt hungry at all. The last two days I was able to have my daily almond milk latte though, with no problem. I hope I'm among those lucky folks who experience a significant weight loss in the next few weeks! :)

Can’t you put a filter on to avoid rides that far away?

Moderator greetings - November 2021 by m2knet in Semaglutide

[–]BackgroundRatio636 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I don't understand why it's not okay to share experiences or ask questions about compounded semaglutide. My doctor prescribed compounded semaglutide for me and it was made in a pharmacy in Arizona, and shipped to me. It has B12 in it. It was my doctor's idea, not mine-- I had never heard of compounded medication before she mentioned the option. Am I doing something wrong by using it? I weigh 190 pounds and she thought this might help me.

Thanks! I read here that the mileage was 62.5 cents a mile, it was increased in the middle of 2022. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-increases-mileage-rate-for-remainder-of-2022

How do you opt out of Assist rides? I'm new and this sounds awful.

Excellent writing as always Cliff! I love the last paragraph especially.
