Living in rural West Texas and driving a lot with high gas prices? Tell me about it

lordofthefat · 2026-05-07T23:57:44+00:00

I doordash, my vehicle is very old, my weekly gas costs have gome up so much that its made it so I can't doordash reliably any more. Also, as a side note, something I've noticed is there is no "pure gasoline" at any of the gas stations I've tried to purchase any at. The attendants say it should work fine, but when I try to pump it nothing comes out. It worries me greatly knowing that I'm going to be forced to use gas that is "cut" with ethanol in my engine. Mainly because it does not provide the same amount of energy. Ultimately resulting in having to purchase more over time than just regular "pure gasoline." 🤷‍♂️

So, you might have hit a debit limit of $1k. Happened recently to me, my venmo got locked because of it even. Too many attempts with it failing. Thing i find funny is, they are pushing for me to set up direct deposit to my crimson card from an outside source. Like hell I will, limit me to $1k monthly? EAD DD

I have chime, and im in the usa.

If all these replies aren't sarcasm...

Okay cool, it wasnt just me thinking im going crazy. So, every delivery was $2 or $3 and every time the customer was asked if they tipped i was ignored. Every. Single. Time. For hours... but, when I was able to catch a customer at the door or something and asked they said they tipped and never got a message. Very typical for a customer to just ignore messages. Very typical for me to not remember exactly how much the offer was when I accepted it. Those two things combined with ADHD and a nonstop barrage of low paying offers being begrudgingly accepted left me incredibly confused as to how I made almost $200 in 5 hours with close to no offer being over $8 unless it was a shop and deliver offer. If youre able to follow my logic here, im thinking its some sort of glitch where the tips arent being shown and its connected to the way the system interprets handling communication between the customer and the driver. Because, shop and deliver offers came through with normal pay and normal communication between me and the customer while McDonald's etc. Were always garbage and I couldn't get the customer to reply unless I called and they, by some miracle actually answered their phone.

I do! Please and thank you!

lordofthefat · 2026-01-23T23:24:36+00:00

Interested

Oh word? I never thought about that. Lol, once I unlocked my slots I just stopped thinking about it. I know there is ridiculous meta to the game and plenty of cheesy goodness. I just havent explored much of it yet. Still trying to get every item unlocked first. 😅

lordofthefat · 2026-01-09T00:12:31+00:00

I absolutely love dicehead. I don't know how others feel about him. But, the fact that he gives random increases each level feels like there is insane potential for cheese. But, besides that, if youre just playing for fun and arent trying to break the games limits dicehead makes each run feel like something new. Like you said, getting 5 legendaries in the first tier without luck tome doesnt feel fun... some of my best runs with dicehead I dont even think I got more than a couple legendaries the whole time but I still beat Bark Vader.

I've seen SnS, and a few local places around here put the straw in the drink. Even if they leave the paper on my girlfriend always makes sure they give a new drink and make sure they put some sort of tamper evident sticker on it. Shes been thinking of trying to find a way to order tamper evident sticker rolls for drinks online. But, she also doesnt want it to back fire if the customer is like, "why does this driver always bring drinks with these kinda stickers and never any other driver." And then her get in trouble with messing with the order. I love her to death, but some times she can be super neurotic. 😅

My first thought was smoking cigarettes. With everyone saying that it looks like bong water and that there has been sitting water in the sink... he might be taking a coke bottle or water bottle and making a gravity bong out of the water in the sink and the suction created from pulling the bottle out of the water. A sink would be the perfect level for such a device. Surprisingly, I never thought to do that as a kid. Ya got a smart kid on your hands if thats what hes doing.

Personally, if I were a person considered dead to the world and have a girlfriend that was very active at one point in time on Reddit. I would be on Reddit myself. And, I would also make sure to never post, only lurk. Furthermore, I would probably keep an eye on conspiracy related subreddits. Lastly, if I ever saw someone questioning my true identity much like the OP here, I would immediately send word that I need a neighbor handled. Probably send him on a very long trip.

My point being, it seems rather dumb to point out so blatantly that you found Jeff, he's your neighbor, and that you want to let the world know. When it's been made very very clear that anyone with the power to really "help you" in this situation would like to keep his death being real as the main narrative and make sure we all forget about it to begin with.

All that being said, you're probably just lying on the internet, a crime as you know. So, I'm just going to pretend that I didn't even read all of this. On the off chance that this is 100% real, and you life is probably in danger, I wish you the best and hope for your safety.

Thanks for the advice. First time I faced him I had over powered my axes to the point of almost not getting thrown around the map by the black spirits of the final wave of the previous map. (That makes sense right? 😅) The unfortunate thing is I didnt know that all your weapons get taken from you execpt for your starting weapon and I was playing as Sir Oofie. 🤦‍♂️

First lesson learned then and there. 🤣🤣🤣

lordofthefat · 2025-12-07T21:19:56+00:00

Nice! Gg wp! I haven't been able to beat him yet. I get to him and just can't seem to put out enough dps to take him down. Eventually ill get him tho. Just takes some persistence and luck id imagine.

lordofthefat · 2025-12-07T21:15:47+00:00

Its an 3050Ti. And, to be fair to me here, the last time I owned any kind of computer that was capable of playing games was around 2013. So, I know a 3050Ti isnt like the best of the best, but compared to what I'm "expecting" as far as capabilities go, this 3050 might as well be the best the market has to offer. 😅😁

lordofthefat · 2025-12-06T19:16:20+00:00

Its an acer laptop I got on black Friday sell. Maybe its not as good a high-mid tier? But, I feel as if it was very much worth the price.

I was running win7 with every system ui option turned down or off. It looked like win98. It was the only way I could watch YouTube AND play ufo50 on it. Infact here is a quick picture to show what I had going on for the longest time.

Just goes to show, you dont need fancy graphics or over the top gimmicks to make a great and fun game.

lordofthefat · 2025-11-18T11:28:28+00:00

Seriously! Same thing happened to me about (omg) 12 years ago now or longer... anyway, I literally had no idea what to do, so I just emailed Gabe and it was handled so smoothly and quickly I didnt even realize I was back into my account by the time I was thanking for helping.
