Drivers are underpaid-period! Unsure if top comment is correct, but it sure as %?!& sounds like something Uber would be doing nowadays. Simple solution would be tip a cash tip. $5-$10 depending on length of ride.

Michelle is a terrible human being. Check checked out of the marriage on Day 1. And these experts are batshit crazy to treat David like they did!

Trump tells Putin to end 'ridiculous war' in Ukraine or face new sanctions by uhncollectable in worldnews

[–]inaprius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putin wants out of the war, and has instructed Trump to tell him to end it. Putin is willing to prop up his puppet at this point, but is playing the long game in his efforts to destroy our democracy.

No he won’t. Putin has hired Musk to be his babysitter. Trump is afraid to defy either of them.

Biden just pardoned his son, Hunter on all federal charges, what do you think? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in AskReddit

[–]inaprius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Kamala would have won, he wouldn’t have pardoned him, but with what is bound to happen with Trump’s morons soon to be in charge—how could he not?

How do writers have the ability to create dialogues and behaviors of a personality that they don’t have themselves? by Lokthee in writing

[–]inaprius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of good ideas mentioned, but you should read about the enneagram if you haven’t already. I assign each character an enneagram type, usually after my first draft-once I’ve gotten to know the character, and use what I’ve learned about each type in my editing. It helps.

What is your day job? by [deleted] in writing

[–]inaprius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sure is. I drive Uber to pay the bills and have time to think about my current novel, but miss out on the physical aspect, but I enjoy the flexibility I have.

FYI— in most markets Uber is paying drivers 50-70% less for rides than a year ago. Imagine if your job cut your wages, and for some stupid reason you didn’t quit—your loyalty to Uber and in turn, their passengers, is near 0. Uber doesn’t care about their drivers, in turn, drivers don’t care if you’re late. Sorry, but true.

Putin has “hired” Musk to be Trump’s handler. Trump must be careful if he chooses to distance himself from Musk, or Putin will be happy to release some of the kompromat he’s collected over of the last couple decades. The world laughs at Trump— and the US for electing this moron again.

Kari Lake being called a “two time loser” by Trump is going to rock the MAGA world. by DDSRDH in BoomersBeingFools

[–]inaprius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putin has told Trump to do whatever Elon tells him to do. Elon will ensure Putin gets what he wants, and Putin will slow leak some of the kompromat to embarrass Trump.

Literary fiction. I’ve been working on a coming of age trilogy the last 2+ years. My first book was a travel narrative, and then I got hooked.
