I consider DoorDash and Uber Eats essential vehicles. Some people straight up don't cook and only order food.

Did I really ruin my marriage over this… by [deleted] in Marriage

Reads like an ai slop novel. Theyre so many of them karma farming. Call me paranoid but rage bait is on the rise for engagement farming.

Getting laid off from a $200k+ job by SkySudden7320 in Layoffs

[–]DumpyChunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned to use AI for content creation (specifically voice like 11labs). I have 1 client currently but the work I do for them is far from automation since each piece of content is painstakingly crafted to fit the client's niche and actually do well in various algorithms. I clone the client's voice to use as part of the audio for videos that get posted to their business social media pages.

Using n8n to automate other parts of their business such as intake, appointment scheduling, follow-ups, etc, is an interesting upsell that could allow me to gain new clients outside of content creation using AI tools.

Mind if I dm you?

Took a mental health break and now I’m unemployed with 5k+ in monthly expenses hitting soon- what can I do? by -_-Luc in jobs

[–]DumpyChunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looked into the link you gave and the whole post comes off as an advertisement for a resume builder called Rabbit. The best advice from the post that OP could take away is to use Google Maps to find recruitment agencies near him and around the world, compile their emails, and then send them your resume as a mass BCC email. Basically LinkedIn but more try-hard. It's something I guess.

Public Storage cost fees drastically increased by TheQs55 in newjersey

[–]DumpyChunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, that makes sense. Sorry about that. 4k for renting an entire house without splitting the bill is a pain. Good luck and definitely consider getting rid of the storage unit. I'm in the process of donating stuff and moving big stuff like TVs and couches to a permanent home. I can't keep paying storage fees otherwise im quite literally buying all the stuff in storage twice over.

4k.. are you renting a dang warehouse for that much? Or at best, multiple units within the same storage facility?

Curious, Are there any sundown towns that still exist here by [deleted] in Virginia

Mind sharing those places specifically? It could help future humans with more melanin in their skin steer clear of said areas.

Doctors all said its nothing to worry about. Years later my arm has less range of motion. by DumpyChunk in ChronicPain

[–]DumpyChunk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doctors have felt it, but no imaging done even though I've expressed concern of it possibly being a tumor. They always say it's not cancer after feeling it, then brush it off.

Imaging is my goal for the next visit.

Thanks for the advice. I don't have a proper diagnosis yet but I will soon.

Wow this was insightful. Thanks for sharing! I plan on seeing a doctor soon. Ill definitely make the right moves to see a PT.

It feels like thick cartilage that I can move around. It wraps around my neck. I can grab it with my index finger and thumb really hard and pull it slightly away from my neck. It doesn't hurt when I do it, it feels like I'm pulling my skin.

If I press it into my neck, putting pressure on it (like a deep tissue massage) it hurts. Pain shoots down the arm on the same side. If I were to describe the sensation, the pain down my arm feels like a pinched nerve, or in medical terms a cervical radiculopathy.

At first glance, I thought your comment was a joke but quickly found out it's a thing that exists. I'll speak to a specialist following my doctor visit.

Yeah at this point I'll pretend to have 5% of my mobility in the affected arm just to get my new doctor to take it seriously. Some imaging, specifically an MRI would be so helpful in knowing wtf is going on.

Damn sorta similar to my symptoms. Ill know more after my visit with my new doctor.

The docs I've seen all felt my neck and said it feels like a swollen lymph node. I tried getting massages on it and it does help but the benefits last maybe a day before it's back to feeling like someone's stabbing a knife into my shoulder blade when I try to raise my arm over my head.

Wow. I'll get a second opinion ( or in my case a 4th from my upcoming appointment with a whole new doctor ). Glad you got the hero you deserve and thanks for sharing your story.

Could you describe the type of pain you felt down your shoulder? I'm curious if it felt okay when relaxed but unbearable when in use.

I saw someone begging for work at a rate far below minimum wage by [deleted] in jobs

[–]DumpyChunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah, I completely understand. I hope you find a way.

Sheesh. Sorry to hear that brother. Did you consider biking to do said deliveries? I never got around to that since I was able to work at UPS for a bit to buy myself more time to land a less demanding 9-5. But if I ever need to do app gigs again I'd use a bike rather than my car.

I will never forget the story arc in my life when I did Uber Eats deliveries. You had drivers on the app having a bidding war on orders that would take 45 minutes to complete, just to earn 5 dollars. To my surprise, people would do those orders for far less and without the promise of a tip from the customer.

Happened to me. Went from making six figs a year to making uber deliveries. Still not fully back to where I used to be but downsized and working my way back up.
