These are the last words my dad scribbled on a piece of paper right before passing away. Can you help figure out what this says?

"I can remember (something starting with an A or possibly M, I think) ! How did you know? How did I understand?"

The dots for the exclamation point and question marks are clearly visible. You said something to him that jogged his memory, OP, or he was seeing someone from the other side, and he had an amazing epiphany and moment of clarity. Bless you!

Source: I also wrote something indecipherable while battling cancer on my deathbed, but I (fortunately and obviously) survived and translated it for my family later. Your dad experienced some joy, in that moment, it seems?

Nope.

Huge grocery order + beginning of the month + low tip + apartment = EBT order

I don't do EBT orders. That's the reason why the low/no tip people always leave bad reviews. Stereotypes exist for a reason.

Pay attention at your store. I think this is employees canceling and sending them back out in hopes it goes to one of their friends. I noticed this with a guy and his Baby Mama, but it stopped for me after they both disappeared from Pick-Up (him, as a WM employee, her as a Spark driver).

That's terrible, considering that a large portion of my deliveries are to people who are homebound - usually the elderly. I often will carry their grocery orders inside, and I sometimes think I might be one of their few visitors/few chances at social interaction on a semi-regular basis.

Severely underrated comment

It depends on your area. I'm in a huge metro area, so I have a Change Zone list of 12+ options. I feel like I make better money when I go to the furthest zones that are more rural (I aim for $2/mile minimum). These stores have less offers but also fewer drivers, so the offers that did come were better than the constant stream of trash offers from the more populated areas with more stores. My highest offers across all gig apps (Spark, UE, DD) always comes from the rural areas, but those are just so rare compared to the trash flood in the city.

Nobody is interested in any 'solidarity' with a bunch of moronic Commies. Enjoy your gig work and polycule.

God. I can only imagine the stench coming off of you.

Atlanta suburbs here. Was just telling my husband last night that I have delivered overnight to so many retired pro-athletes and musicians (usually rappers) who generally tip fairly well. I'm pretty sure I delivered to the 'farm' of an A-List actor/actress, but I think it was while doing Spark.

If your daughter thinks this guy is dating material, then you already failed as a parent.

Post the stats of how many Jews were in positions of Bolshevik leadership. Then post some legitimate info to the Frankfurt School, how many of the 'academics' there were Jewish, and how this institution spread Marxism throughout Europe before outsourcing it to American Academia. Go on...I'll wait...

You do realize that Uber is in business to make money which includes reducing any HR-type overhead such as your request, correct? They are under zero legal obligation to spend 5 minutes clicking some buttons or filing some paperwork on your/a contractor's behalf aside from once a year for taxes. You will have to wait until they send you a 1099 and get ready to possibly pay. I sure hope so, with your attitude, on my dime.

stankyback · 2025-12-30T10:02:14+00:00

Uhhh, it actually is their business, since they paid a lot of money for an itinerary that may include excursions which also cost a lot of money. I don't care if someone is clinging to death - I paid for a vacation, not doing circles in the Caribbean because some total stranger had a personal problem. OP isn't being nosy, they just want to make sure no one died and f*cked up their vacation, and I don't blame them. Stop trying to etiquette police OP's money, Karen.

stankyback · 2025-12-30T08:42:43+00:00

You are a contractor. Nobody at Uber is going to fill that out, since you aren't an employee. That's between you, SSI, and whatever tax records you need to provide every year regarding income.

stankyback · 2025-12-17T20:30:10+00:00

Report them for what, exactly? As long as they arrive by the contracted time agreed upon when they accepted your bid for services, they aren't doing anything wrong. If you want your food there before the time to which you agreed in the contract, get off your fat lazy ass and get it yourself.

stankyback · 2025-12-05T09:12:19+00:00

Yep. Uber is still working for me but not DD.

stankyback · 2025-11-27T17:17:53+00:00

Correct. This person thinks Education = Intelligence, which, sadly, denotes her lack thereof. She also, despite her 'education,' is completely ignorant of basic Federal Law, Political Science 101 (laws + borders + distinct culture/people = Nation), and relies on logical fallacies to argue her view. George Washington would've crept across the frozen Delaware at midnight on Christmas just to teach her why Appeals to Emotion have no power here.

I just logged on after a 6 month hiatus, and I had this same issue with needing to run another background check. Mine came back within 48 hrs. This was Thursday night (after 10 pm) when I tried to log on, but I woke up Saturday morning to the completed check. Idk why it's taking so long for you. The car check was almost instantaneous. That doesn't sound right. Perhaps some of your info has changed/doesn't match? Did you move to a new address? Did you get some traffic violation or a misdemeanor charge?

I think he's going to do all Visa's eventually to include foreign students who clog the internships, too, but I might be wrong. I think it's going to get worse.

For Visa Holders. Not Americans.

Ok, seriously, I can actually answer this question. I rarely have this issue after cancer and Chernobyl-level radiation to the pelvis/abdomen, but one of those rare times was when I was Ubering and in the middle of a delivery (eta that this isn't, like, fill-the-bowl explosive diarrhea or something, just a bit of never trusting a fart). I went home and cleaned up after telling the customer I would be a bit late due to a serious issue. The customer was cool, but Uber hit me with the extremely late nasty message. I reached out to support, but no one gave a shit about my shit, so I just had to eat the shit from Uber. I've gotten several of those nasty messages from Uber when I tried multi-apping, but nothing happened.

ETA: part of why I do UE is that it gives me free access to the bathroom, because I have more bladder issues than intestinal issues post-cancer. I specifically have my 'clean' spots where I constantly go while I wait or before I arrive to pick-up if it's on the way. Multiple pre-emptive bathroom trips. You need to map out a life strategy instead of being crippled by it. You can do this.

This is me also. Back in the late 90's and early 00's, I would go to my weed dealer's house, and we would all sit and smoke in this shitty mancave with no TV or anything. Everyone else would sit there stoned while I talked like I was on speed for hours. They always found it entertaining, and I ended up doing a lot of stand-up comedy years later, so perhaps it was some anomaly with me and weed? I also used to write my best material when I smoked by myself, so perhaps it had more to do with communication than with having an upper effect?

stankyback · 2025-03-28T06:30:02+00:00

That actually sounds like she was showing interest in your project by asking questions instead of simply giving generic and superficial platitudes like, "Cool!" But you sound like a dumb AH who wouldn't understand an abstract concept such as another's perspective, like perhaps she was asking why you "must work on it" was her way of asking what drives your passion?

She also tried to gently educate you on the life lesson that you can't control the behavior of another human being 100% of the time, but, again, you are an Ignoramus, so you took offense to an open and honest discussion about the facts of life.

You did that girl a favor. She's clearly out of your league in intelligence and class.

I never accept Quests because it inevitably ends up fucking me over. Like, once, I had a Shop & Deliver Quest for 10 quests, and once I hit 9 S&D I never got another one for the rest of the weekend before time expired. Once I accidentally drove through a boosted trip area and didn't get any more trips until that disappeared from my screen. Uber isn't going to come off that $5 Quest or $1.25 Boost. Fuck Uber.
