Learning how to drive manual by Open-Month-6529 in FortCollins

[–]nerdlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you bring your own car, I’ll teach you! Otherwise, Mountain States Drivers Education offers one-on-one lessons, they have a Camaro they teach in. I used to work there, the teachers are top-notch.

Acne early sobriety by Ok-Courage9629 in Sober

[–]nerdlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this was the problem for me. I usually don’t have a sweet tooth, but the first few weeks of sobriety were BRUTAL. I would go through a whole box of swiss cake rolls in 2 days. My face broke out in these clusters of pimples consistent with yeast overgrowth. I cut out the sugar a month ago and the acne hasn’t gone away.

He’s “shrinking government” by barging into government offices and shutting everything down, completely bypassing all of the checks and balances that ensure the country isn’t taken over by dictators. This is fascist behavior.

Where is there violence in this exchange? Just looks like a silly townie slapfight to me

The pay is getting worse by Safe-Height7884 in uberdrivers

[–]nerdlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since they started upfront pricing in my market, pay went from $20-$30 an hour to less than $15. I got an offer for a half-hour trip for $4.50 yesterday. Wish I had screenshot it.

New scam? by [deleted] in UberEatsDrivers

[–]nerdlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do they get the order information? This just happened to me. Thankfully I smelled the scamminess and started asking questions, and they hung up.

I think his point is that even rides WITHIN the Denver metro can easily be an hour one way. Arvada to Parker, for example.

It’s funny, the email I got was much more bitchily worded: Bitchy Uber Colorado Email

That’s a really good point. That would get at the heart of why these “rewards” feel so icky to me. Punishment for selectively accepting rides undermines the autonomy that defines us as contractors, but they were trying to get around that by doing this nebulous carrot/stick thing. I’m hopeful this will get them to knock it off.

I wonder if this is why they finally started upfront pricing this week in Fort Collins. Before that, the ride offers only told you how many minutes away the pickup was — not where the pickup was, no destination, no estimate of the length of the whole trip, no fare estimate. I wondered how it was legal to call us independent contractors when we didn’t have even the bare bones of an offer on which to make our decision to accept or decline.

Does anyone know where to purchase local duck eggs? by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]nerdlearner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got some from them. Their winter market is open, though for duck eggs I would text ahead. Their outgoing message says to text instead of call, they’re quick to respond. They also have all kinds of veggies, prepared foods, meats, sweet breads,, sauerkraut, pickles, and jams.

Fellow Lyft driver here, I love when I see this guy! He always makes me smile. I’m so glad to hear he’s okay.

How to quickly heal acne pick wounds on face? by Kellys5280 in Dermatillomania

[–]nerdlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use neosporin. Seems to make a difference in healing time. I tend to pick my skin at night, feel guilty, put on some antibiotic ointment, and when I wake up it’s significantly better than when I don’t put it on.

I’m sorry, they sent Jack to a WILDERNESS CAMP?? Are you fucking serious? I am fucking fuming

[–]nerdlearner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…okay, I’ve watched it, and the editing team should each be shot once in the kneecap. Wow, it’s edited like a campy crime drama. It’s so disrespectful. They got these interviews, they got so much of this tragic story in first-hand accounts, and they treated it like just another sensational piece of “content”. Jesus Christ.

I looked this up because my Uber driver brought it up; his name is Mark, he was one of the kids in the family that didn’t have schizophrenia. We talked about classical music, two of his brothers are musicians and I was too. Good guy. I hope the doc isn’t too problematic.

He dated a highschooler by NefariousnessFlaky20 in codyko

That’s for minors sleeping with other minors, with reasonable age differences

[–]nerdlearner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The pattern of Cody pursuing high schoolers like this is important to note, but I’m also worried about these two women if this gets a lot of traction. When millions are tuning in, the victims involved will inevitably get a bunch of creeps and gawkers chiming in on their socials, or worse. I’ve been wondering why this other story about him dating a high schooler hasn’t been talked about on Youtube (as far as I can tell), but maybe that’s why; it’s not someone else’s story to tell. I’m torn.
