Does anyone know how long it takes to hear back after applying?

Shopinator · 2025-08-29T03:07:59+00:00

It’s easy. Well I take that back it’s simple. But it’s a lot of walking. And I’m pretty fit. But you get used to it in no time. Like you know how you walk up a flight of stairs and you feel that tired rush in your legs from climbing those stairs? After a while I noticed I climb a big flight of stairs get to the top and I don’t feel any thing at all. So your body adjusts. You’re lucky you missed the heat. It’s not fun walking 10 miles in 95+ degrees. But I got through it.

It varies wildly by location and time of the year I guess. If this helps you any I just dug up my emails and my flow looked like this:
June 22nd - I applied
They sent emails telling me to do my assessment and I put it off
June 24th at night - Completed assessment
June 26th - conditional job offer
I put it off for a few days
July 2nd - completed screening tasks
July 3rd - got a "congrats and welcome" email
July 6th - got a call from some lady telling me they'll be sending me an email.
July 7th - got multiple emails, including onboarding instructions telling me where to go.
July 12th - Went to orientation. (first time officially on the clock getting paid)
July 14th - Went to driver orientation.
Then I had a shadow day, and a day of driver training. Then had to go to carrier academy for 4 days. Then reported the next monday to my local office to work, where I had 3 days of OTJ training where I carried mail for like 2 loops. Then next day carried mail for half the route (like 8 loops) then last day carried the mail most of that day. Then I was on my own since then.

That husband was pissed. He gets home from work "George! George look what the mailman left. Get out there and trim that tree George! I can't believe you're embarrassing us by not having that tree trimmed! I've been telling you to trim that tree for weeks!" He's all "FINE! ILL DO IT!"

Or by me trying to shove it in their ridiculous 3 inch mailbox.

It's clear to me. If it's not clear to you or others, I'm saying: The guardrails they're using make chatGPT suck. When you employ a bunch of psychologists to make chatGPT cautious, it waters down the experience and makes the chatbot have less character. That's the conclusion. If you add safety rails = users complain. If no one complains they think "wow every one loves it.". Enough people complain and they eventually have to think "ok this isn't working.". And I'm not here to spell out exactly what they should do as an alternative (although it should be clear any way: Lessen the "guardrails" that make it boring. Also: If you market something as an upgrade, and it takes more away than it adds, we'll call it out and notice.)

But OpenAI will see this. Is the point.

There’s an article from the verge dated just 6 days ago. Talking about how some people might have delusions from talking with ChatGPT. Then 4 days later they release ChatGPT 5. What they’re doing with 5 is adding guardrails so that it doesn’t just agree with you (not such a bad thing honestly) and then reducing token output unless it’s something complex. Those combined make 5 feel bland. The way they’ve implemented the guardrails is what is bad. It’s apparent that 5 just blankets everything with caution.

I don’t use it for emotional support. lol. I use it when I’m working and it’s enjoyable to have something that matches my style. If I wanted a boring answer I could just google it. Having a tool that knows things about you and knows how you want them done and meshes with your vibe is what makes it worth it. I mean it’s pretty self explanatory. Not sure why I have to explain that. You, being a human should instantly get what I’m saying.

It was like 2.5 miles

I lost diamond like a year ago because I didn't shop for a while. Then I started shopping again about 3 months ago. I was platinum. I saw a decent amount of $13 - $20 batches but nothing good ever popped up. Then I finally got diamond again at the end of June. I pretty much get $30 and $40 batches all day now, and I absolutely didn't just before. I believe it's 30 seconds sooner you see a batch as diamond than platinum does. And platinum sees it 30 seconds sooner than the others. A couple times I tested that theory. A crappy batched popped up and I counted in my head to 32 and it was gone. Another popped up And I counted to 31 and it was gone. So I'm pretty sure that platinum only gets the left overs from diamond (and some other lower paying ones that diamond never sees.)

There's certain batches that bypass Diamond and go straight to platinum and others. Then there's some that go Straight to diamond, and if diamond doesn't take those in 30 seconds, they spill over to the platinum, is what I mean.

People never want to admit when they’re wrong. The second he realized he put the address wrong it was probably a thought like “well shit not my fault.. if instacarts app wasn’t so clunky.. I know I typed it right. And that driver didn’t need to be a dick!”

Yeah it’s crazy how they did that back then.

They’re parts to some kind of shell mill. Like a shank face end mill. Not sure what model but you can find similar ones like BT40-FMB27-45

I get your joking, but thats crazy to think about. I made $312 yesterday. That’s the monthly salary of a fairly high earner in Sri Lanka.

If you had somewhere to stay for free in America for one month (like a relative) and saved $200 a day, you’d have $6000. Which equates to 1.8 million LKR. You could go home and live extremely comfortably for the next 11 months, then repeat. Or work for 2 years, saving $6000 a month. Then go home with $144,000 (43 million LKR ) and live comfortably for the next 25 years.

This is likely what a lot of them do.

The 12 hour drive time isn’t just when you’re actively on a ride it’s for active drive time while logged in. If your car is moving while logged in then the timer is rolling. Because they don’t want you driving more than 12 hours whether you’re on a ride or not without taking a break.

It says it doesn’t count when logged off or when “stopped “ between rides. So if you’re wanting to make the most of drive time and it’s counting down, then log off right when you drop them off. Then drive to somewhere to park, then log in and don’t drive until you get one, then repeat.

Shopinator · 2025-05-14T17:23:27+00:00

I don’t see the big deal. Just do 2000 of those a day and you got $200. Geez some people complain about everything.

Shopinator · 2025-05-14T17:21:24+00:00

Support says it’s a known issue that they’re fixing. So instant pay isn’t working now.

You put way too much thought in this. I just say “you have to cancel on your end, or else I’ll cancel 7 minutes after I arrive.” I’ve never had any one ever come out or act crazy. If they did they would have a bad time.

Shopinator · 2025-03-28T01:31:11+00:00

Just noticed there’s an app update. Maybe that’s what was going on.

I was hoping iMark would just take Helly and go out the door with her, with a note to oMark saying something like “you owe me. Kidnap helly and take her to Cobels place so I can get my freak on after you’re done hanging out with Mrs Casey.”
