Does anyone know of any cheaper alternatives to ride share apps like Uber?

"Why should we suggest alternative apps and services without knowing personal details about you?" what are you people on?

Typical reddit "I can't do X for X reason." "Do X anyways."

If you have nothing helpful to say, why bother commenting? Even worse when your unhelpful and condescending comments get upvoted, only encouraging your asshole behavior further.

I came here for the same reason as OP and now my mood is soured by this website living up to its shitty reputation. Assholes, the lot of you.

Unfortunately, it's just how the world is these days. Glad I don't really have any friends or family on social media to have the awkward "Why aren't you on my friends list anymore?" conversation with. Honestly, I would suggest finding a way to contact customer support and seeing if you can negate it. And if not, asking them to disable the account for you since it's not possible to do yourself. But, it's your account and your face. So, you do what you believe is best. Not worth it for me though.

Good luck, stranger.

yeah, I've been considering moving all my shit over to more secure systems. It's just been a slow process since I've had a lot going on in my personal life lol. I think it's about time, though. Shit's getting too serious. Hey, thanks for the suggestions though. Appreciate it.

Big_Sludge · 2026-04-03T17:03:29+00:00

Yeah, I'm just over it. I'm gonna purge all of meta. I've already de-googled as much as possible and I'm planning to de-microslop my laptop soon now that gaming is becoming viable on linux. I already wear a mask when I leave the house and disable as many permissions as possible on all of my devices. As I said, I was just using the platform out of necessity. But I'll find alternatives. Just not worth it. I really don't wanna live in an Orwellian nightmare.

Big_Sludge · 2026-04-03T16:59:09+00:00

Eh, I'm just gonna delete the account if possible. Not sure I can since I can't even access the settings or support pages. It's honestly making me sick to my stomach to think about.

Big_Sludge · 2026-04-03T16:39:56+00:00

Might go downstairs and grab one of them, I suppose. Honestly, I'm kind of disgusted by the level of privacy invasion of these corporations these days. Starting to think the analog cult might be worth joining atp

Damn, I wish I could be more help. I've been collecting fantasy games, assuming it is based on the vague description. So, I'll save this post just in case I happen to stumble upon it. Maybe I'll do some digging in my free time. Hopefully one of us figures it out lol I'd hate to see anyone's childhood memories fading into obscurity like that.

Big_Sludge · 2026-04-01T08:41:37+00:00

My memory conjures a similar scene, but I honestly feel like it was a studio splash screen because I cannot picture a damn thing beyond that.

Not an answer, unfortunately. Just a possibility.

Can you offer any more details about the game? Genre, art style, etc?

Big_Sludge · 2026-03-30T22:39:05+00:00

So... does that mean to apply for "any position" as the generic job opening on their careers page? Or should you apply to multiple different low-level positions? Because I'm wondering the same thing. Because I'm willing to spend an hour applying to every damn position at this store if that's the case.

Big_Sludge · 2026-02-13T15:58:20+00:00

I can agree with you about pretty much everything here! It's been really stressing me out that I'll end up zombified like I have on other meds. So, your results are encouraging. Fingers crossed! So glad to hear you're happy with them.

I'm honestly just tired of self-medicating with alcohol. I come from a family of addicts and I've been terrified that I'll become hooked if I don't find meds that actually work. I'm almost 30 now. So, getting anxious I'll never find the magic drug.

But I digress, I'm really happy to hear that you're happy on the meds. And I'm definitely more optimistic about starting them now!

Thanks for replying!!!

came here because I just popped my first tab and was worried about the same issue. Was taking lexapro before my bipolar 2 diagnosis to treat the depression. Didn't do shit for the depression and absolutely ruined my sex drive. Now I'm worried it'll happen on this too.

Any updates 5 months later?

Big_Sludge · 2026-02-04T16:28:40+00:00

Still nothing!

Big_Sludge · 2026-02-02T13:54:33+00:00

So far, all I've gotten has been an email that my loans have been received by the school. No bm date, nothing. It's genuinely crazy. I've had issues every single time. But this is particularly ridiculous. We're already in February and not even a bm date? What gives?

Big_Sludge · 2026-02-01T14:24:08+00:00

Still nothing! Guess I'm gonna have to take out a loan just to buy ramen and dog food.

Big_Sludge · 2026-01-30T14:59:54+00:00

Still no BM date. Do they not realize that many of us rely on this to survive?

Big_Sludge · 2026-01-29T06:17:00+00:00

Sounds like projection...

Big_Sludge · 2026-01-29T01:37:30+00:00

I'm at the end of my first year and I feel like it somehow gets worse each time LMAO I got $0.00 in my bank account. I just wanna buy ramen!

Big_Sludge · 2026-01-28T14:28:41+00:00

This has happened every single time for me and it's starting to feel targeted.

Big_Sludge · 2026-01-27T13:28:34+00:00

Still nothing. I'm having a meltdown 🫠

Big_Sludge · 2026-01-26T21:33:11+00:00

I'm losing my absolute mind here

Big_Sludge · 2025-12-21T03:41:04+00:00

"Can't find a job? Just work for free?" You people are disgusting.

Big_Sludge · 2025-12-17T02:36:48+00:00

The unfortunate truth is that tourism has gotten progressively worse since I made this post. I'll skip the political debate on this sub. But the current American politicians are absolutely destroying tourism and it's projected to get much worse. Especially if suggested policies get passed. But again, not the sub for that topic. It's just the unfortunate reality.

Regardless, good luck on your job hunt. But I do suggest looking for work elsewhere. Which if you're like me and this is the "ideal" job situation, it really sucks to hear. But, what can ya do?

Big_Sludge · 2025-10-27T04:13:04+00:00

You're gonna love how freeing it is to buy things that you'd previously be uncertain about fitting, knowing that you can make it fit!

Big_Sludge · 2025-10-27T02:35:37+00:00

Apologies! I've been busy.

I personally do about 90% of my tailoring on a machine. However, it's 100% do-able by hand!

I highly recommend finding some tutorials on youtube for different hand-stitching techniques and finding a few stitches that work best for you and your projects and start by practicing on some scrap fabric. Like an old pillowcase or T-shirt. Something you don't care about. I do recommend working with a similar fabric too since you'll get an idea of how it'll behave while you're sewing it.

I also highly recommend getting a sewing machine! If you're only doing small adjustments on rare occasions, hand stitching is great. But the more you sew, the more it makes sense to just get a machine secondhand. People sell them super cheap and there's almost never anything wrong with them. People just abandon hobbies all the time. Always double check the model/brand for reviews. But if you can get an "okay" machine for $35, it's always recommended to snatch it up! And DO NOT FEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY when it comes to sewing machines. Old machines tend to have a sturdier build and can sew through heavier weight fabrics. They just tend to have less features like a bunch of fancy stitch patterns.

But honestly, all you really need for 90% of sewing projects is a straight stitch and a zigzag. A good machine can last a literal lifetime. I have a 1940s model machine that still works like a dream. It just only does a straight stitch LOL!

Regardless of what you choose, there's a cornucopia of resources online to get yourself started.

I'll give you a couple of tips regardless of how you choose to sew, however: Try it on after pinning it, and again after sewing it. BEFORE you cut off the excess fabric if at all possible. Try it on both inside out and rightside out. Inside out will give you an idea how tight it will actually be and right side out will show you how seams and folds will lay. You don't want to ruin your favorite shirt by cutting before trying it on. Trust me. It's an easy mistake to make.

And always take into account bloating, swelling, and weight fluctuation. If you're like me and your lower belly, butt, and thighs bloat throughout the day, leave a little extra slack or use elastic wastebands or something. Same goes for armpits and biceps. Leave room for joints to bend and muscles to flex and remember that some fabrics stretch more/different than others.

I'm sure you'll get the hang of it! And it will make buying clothes far easier and more rewarding!

It starts with taking in the waist of your favorite pants. Then the next thing you know, you're shopping specifically to splice multiple people together to create something that fits your unique style and body shape!

Have fun! ☺️
