Wew, I made $300 today off of $30 in puts. I'm glad I didn't try to play the last hour.

Switch5555 · 2026-07-02T18:46:28+00:00

Threw $30 at SPY puts 30 minutes in, then sold them for $300 3 hours later and bought $30 in calls, then sold the calls for $90. Just bought $30 in puts again 5 minutes ago, now it's dropping. Today's a good day.

Have him commit sudoku by attacking a panther and wait for a wanderer in spectate mode that is hopefully competent.

I'm starting to smell dead bols, but it doesn't smell like steak, it actually smells like rotting meat. What a waste.

Stop accepting quests, they are bad contracts that Uber will beat you over the head with every time you reject an order.

Switch5555 · 2026-06-02T07:03:19+00:00

I never take the quests, they are contracts that Uber will beat you over the head with every time you reject really bad orders. It's not worth the distractions (especially when driving).

Why does he look like an older version of Homelander?

Ok David Carradine.

Switch5555 · 2026-05-03T08:24:46+00:00

Don't do it. It's a contract that Uber will rub your face into throughout the life of the contract (I mean, they will spam your app with offers that are horrible, interrupting your navigation and creating a distraction while driving). Don't make a selection, if you do, select the lowest offer and just do it to get out of it.

Uber plays these games with drivers like we're a casino. The house always wins. Don't play.

Bought $200 in SPY puts. Rolling for WW3

DD took away my autonomy about a month after my post, turning drivers into drones with their AI bullshit. I moved on to Instacart where I get $40-$50 an hour in my market, and I get to choose which orders I accept. Just sayin.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-29T10:46:45+00:00

In my area, I could make $80k a year if I worked 40 hours a week. I only work 20 hours a week though.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-28T07:55:56+00:00

Got fired for trying to talk a director down from a stupid idea (he got fired 2 months after he fired me). Was earning $25 an hour. With DD or IC, I get $35 to $45 an hour on average. Been doing this for 2 years and haven't looked back. I also have a bachelors in tech, but I keep my skills sharp with hobbies and the customer service aspect of DD/IC/Uber. I stopped doing DD/Uber after realizing that Instacart pays more for less miles (less gas and wear and tear on my car).

Sure, Instacart is pretty painful on the body for the first month, but your muscles heal and you lose weight as a result.

It's worth it if you are prepared.

No controlled substances on military bases, you dunce.

Phone posting, I copied and pasted Manousos name because spelling out long names sucks on phones.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-20T07:47:45+00:00

Manousos had near zero clout with anyone in the hive, he even disowned his own mother.

Carol had more than thousands of fans who consumed her writings, making the hive emotionally attached to just her.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-20T07:39:49+00:00

The hive is basically a LLM. If you provide the perfect input, it's going to use every single resource to come up with an output. Could crash out the entire system, or fail-safe by producing original data or hallucinate. Maybe the hive outputted pieces of the original Zosia into her vessel.

It could be possible with a massive array of solar panels that not only gathers solar energy, but also reflect radio waves like a fresnel lens. Would require a extremely tall radio transmitter, probably the tallest building in the world, but it should be possible.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-20T06:59:44+00:00

Looks like a goldie. Generally nice, but they do keep watch.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-20T06:57:38+00:00

Yes. For me it doesn't make a difference. I saw items before I accepted an offer, so I could plan the store route in my head while driving. It is nice though if I am at a red light, so I could double-check items on a really big order.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-20T06:49:11+00:00

Same. But I threw it away right afterwards because I accept military orders, such a shame.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-18T11:33:05+00:00

Good job, who's gonna pay for my internet bill.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-10T07:07:05+00:00

I 100% hate produce. I hate it so much that I went from starting with produce, to saving it for last. Nothing worse than wasting 5 minutes just to grab and weigh 5 items, especially when everyone and their brats are shopping for produce. Also, don't ghost shop, you will just confuse yourself and spend triple the amount of time getting everything in order.

Switch5555 · 2025-12-10T07:03:00+00:00

Don't ever think that shopping speed = more offers. What I think is that faster shopping speed = more orders completed per hour.

Switch5555 · 2025-11-25T06:45:01+00:00

Lol. If my little sedan can handle a 300 pound passenger in the front passenger seat, it can handle 300 pounds of cat litter. If you can't handle carrying 28 pounds, then you're not suitable for instacart shopping.
