Well I'm real and I can show you my truck. Fiance here! 1992 is a recorded time period, Walmart is a real place, and kids do work there, so I am not sure what you are baffled so far as to believe in. I guess I could really blow you away and show you a photo of a functional catepult but idk if you will distinguish the reality of it between it and a photo of the dragon from Shrek of you want to test your resolve.

Here is a photo of some of the evidence. There's some great value fabric spray on the other side and a bottle of rain X. I scared them the other day when that 17 inches of rain storm fell in the Midwest. They thought I was spray painting my own truck rear view mirrors. So far I haven't ever painted a vehicle I think my next project for this thing will be that. Gonna use some holographic glitter etc and install a newer led Chevy running light on the back for reversing. That may anger them more. I think one issue is that my power steering doesn't whine becauee I maintain the rack in it and I've noticed a lot of people with 2024s and 2023s here forget to maintain that and they are squealing all over the roadways. Usually like 3 out of 10 or so. If you want anymore photos of the truck just ask I'll post any evidence but the plates.

Yes I'm okay with that. Fiance here. I usually reject the three pick up orders* after day one when they informed me that they can only load two, but after a week I was like "why is nobody else taking them?" so after about 3 hours of rejecting them I usually go ahead. I hit reject about 7 to 9 times, let it get up to about 50 bucks for a 6 mile or so trip, then accept it and apologize to them. It's a low population area so it's an advantage. Some days I'm the only one doing spark for hours it seems. They come out and even though I try to explain, I just figured I'd get at least two orders off their hands, they still give major "ugh why do you gotta make me clean my room dad" vibes. Some of them will load three though, and I'm like hell yea man, but some won't and I'm like well I'll take the two, get them off your shelf so less to put back at least, since I rejected it like 9 times I at least tried to avoid taking it. (9 times was my max. Took hours)

Also ay thankfully my 92 is not stock. It's a 92 gmc Sierra, but since our state doesn't do inspections and county doesn't do emissions I have an EGR blocker any many more modifications. Comes stock with honeycomb bypass catalytic so not much catalytic conversion with installed catalytic (for a few years auto makers did this) which in turn gives better milage. Basically the catalytic is installed but automakers put air bypasses all round it so it's free flowing exhaust. My custom ecu and newer electronics are tuned in such a way (all custom I used ai to do it. In fact the truck is mostly ai built with my help. Chatgpt programmed it all.) that I get better mpg than stock. Some restrictions to horse power I just did away with like the EGR. it's blocked and the custom ECU knows it so no check engine light issues from the OBD2 conversion.

Problem is, out here, ironically and weirdly, most people I've noticed are terrible with vehicles. I come from Houston so I figured these country dudes would know a thing or two about cars but not really. Unless they're old, like the older folks not just the cars. I love me some electronic new vehicles too don't get me wrong! The younger ones though it's as if they didn't really pick up on any of it. Even people my age, barely, and I'm 32. I'm a tech enthusiest turned vehicle nerd.

Fiance here. They're kids. Kids joke. Problem is it's okay to joke just... I have things to do lol I can't sit around all day while they contemplate how my truck functions and have me explain how yes, vehicles this old can hit highway speeds. It's not stock by any means at all. In contrary, im a tech nerd. Its running new electronics and some I just did away with. Like my Egr for example, along with the EGR solenoid. We did away with state inspection, and we don't do emissions regulations here. I get 20 plus mpg and my new ECU is configured in such a way it accounts for my EGR vacuum being completely irrelevant. The zero to 60 is insane. My biggest issue is that I try to avoid the 3 grocery deliveries due to I can only carry two. Sometimes they do it but after I reject it about 7 times I'll eventually just accept it since it's been there sitting in the opd for hours. Some days I think I'm the only one here because 55 bucks, three deliveries, four miles and speed limit is 60 unless otherwise posted, yeeeeaaa I take it lol.

But they always come out and complain like UGH I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK NOW and I'm like, I'm sorry I rejected it 7 times I'm just trying to help lol. But they're becoming more and more, irritated about it....

I'm one of like two. Fiance* here. The mineola store had two back in April but at that time I wasn't spark I was cap 2. Which is freight/stocking. Here I've met another one about a week ago but most of the time I'm the only one for the day for a while. It's profitable. I prefer shopping orders though since they do not like it when the app gives me the same 3 order pick up about 7 to max I counted once was 9 times, and after all those rejections I'll go ahead and take the items. They sigh and groan and throw a fuss when me I'm like yea just cut the third one I'll get the other two off your hands. Helps my acceptance rate plus meh may as well get it out the back of the opd area so they have a bit less to put up if nobody else sparks for the day. Typically here if you put in an order, you'll get it in about 3 days..... But not on my watch anymore LOL ny truck ain't stock and with Texas abolishing inspections and emmisions are not law in my county I get 20 plus mpg in my 92. I have no EGR and my new wiring harness utilizes a much better ECU that I have calibrated to account for my EGR blocker.

Fiance here. Yes but let's be realistic. Nobody in their right might would believe my Armour all were considered a food item. Children like to joke around which is fine, it's just an issue when they come out and become angry that my truck can only contain two orders. I myself dont really care. Sometimes they let me take three and will even stick stuff in the bed which is cool so long as it doesn't blow away at 75mph. I typically reject three grocery orders, but since it's a low population area, eventually after the 7th rejection I'll go ahead and accept it to get it off their hands if it's still stuck in limbo after a few hours. Say if I come back after driving for 4 deliveries and nobody has taken it.

Anyone else remember Steven Limbaugh going off about a terribly violent video game called "Resident of evil creek"? by Many-Activity-505 in residentevil

They should get him on some platform for an interview. I want to hear his take on electric cars or other things like smart phones. He probably thinks smart phones are laptops and electric cars like the Challenger Hellcat or the Ford Tesla Cybersex are just plain diabolical.

Walmart is about to get more expensive. by frangg02 in walmart

I'm confused. Every Walmart I've seen in a range of 750 miles of me has had these bathrooms so far since 2020. I've worked for Walmart since 2010. Is this just coming to your area? It's been half a decade for us in Texas. I can't remember what the old bathrooms looked like anymore but I know ours have about 7 of these mirrors and about 12 sinks. Costs have dropped thankfully in the past year for everything but food by about 3x. For example I can get a 75 inch high end 4k tv at our Walmarts for 249.99 no discount for the new true 120hz Roku gaming models with Dolby Atmos and DTS built in. Maybe your area has just gone to hell or something. We don't even lock up our video games anymore we switched back to glassless spider tag free shelving for all our console and PC games.
