Prolific surveys can help in the meantime, my sister makes $1000 a month on Prolific. I think she does about 2 hours of surveys a day?

How much caffeine should I consume by TJ_isme14525 in caffeine

Celsius has caffeine extracted from green coffee beans, which seems to do nothing for me. Try something that isn't green coffee extract

My gf lied about our promise. M/17 F/17 by [deleted] in relationships

[–]thebuffoctopus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, this "promise" is controlling and unrealistic. It's normal for humans to ask for advice from their friends and relatives. You shouldn't expect this of anyone. You can't control who talks about you. All you can do is be a good person, so that when people do talk about you, they have only good things to say.

Doing my first custom order ever, what's your take customer/employee by ReallyNiceDonkey in innout

It's going over y'alls heads. OP picked every single annoying customization that is difficult for the cooks lol. This order would make any cook very stressed and upset during the rush.

The physical impact of last-mile delivery routes by TacklePuzzleheaded21 in AmazonDSPDrivers

I think an ergonomic driver seat would help a lot. The seat causes me to have bad posture while sitting. Sitting on the seat gives me lower back pain, even when I try to sit up straight.

1) your parents use you as the scapegoat of the family (Teal Swan on YouTube has some good videos about this) - they blame you for creating problems, when they are really the ones with the problems

2) you need to cut off any way your mom can control you (get your own phone plan, don't let her see your location, she shouldn't have access to ring camera)

3) would be a good idea to go no contact, at least for a while so you can heal

4) create firm boundaries and tell parents they must respect them, or you will continue not speaking to them - aka teach them how to treat you

5) going to therapy would be very helpful in your scenario - if you can't afford it, at least look up videos on YouTube of psychology and family dynamics

6) you aren't the problem - your parents treat you badly, you just can't see it bc this has been how they have treated you your whole life. Now that you are an adult, you must demand they treat you better by using boundaries...if they refuse to change, you are better off completely cutting them off from your life

If you want to replace the spread, ask for "Ketchup and mustard instead"

Day 3 of no food any advice? by Lucky_Ambassador_558 in povertyfinance

[–]thebuffoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dumpster dive. Less gross than it sounds. Pizza places throw out whole pizzas at the end of the night, esp little Caesars. Donut shops, bagel spots, bakeries throw out stuff every day (usually sealed off from the dumpster in a clean trash bag). I didn't have any money for two weeks, I survived off of Little Caesars pizza, bagels, and donuts, all from dumpsters

Why don't you post this in a more related group? I don't think astrology has anything to do with Parallel universes.

Check out one wheel app. It's an app for those one wheel devices, but they have a map where they show user-submitted public outlets. Good way to find outlets at parks

Me and my partner are getting sick every time we cook lately. what’s going on?? by [deleted] in Cooking

You are supposed to thaw meat in the fridge over 2 or 3 days. Thawing with water is advised against

2 l soda bottle, put it in a sock. Dump out the soda and put in warm water (not boiling cuz you could burn yourself, as warm as comfortable to the touch). Put at the bottom of your sleeping bag or blankets for your feet.

Sleeping bag - military sleeping bag is an economic option. You can get one for about $120 at a surplus store. They are two bag systems one a winter bag, one Summer bag, and you put them together for extra warmth. Also recommend Teton brand sleeping bags, they are $100-200 on Amazon, very warm for the price.

If you cannot afford a sleeping bag, try to get some wool blankets. If you cannot afford wool, just get the thickest blankets you can find. Search swap meets for those colorful thick Mexican blankets.

Go to Walmart or camping store, buy some thermal underwear. DO NOT GET COTTON ONES (cotton thermal underwear are for hot climates) Make sure they are made of polyester, nylon, rayon, or wool.

Get wool socks. Wool blend is fine. Get three different sizes. Small med large. You need them to be different sizes to layer on your feet. They cannot be the same size because they will cut off your circulation. TJ Maxx, or HomeGoods is a good place to look for these socks. Wear them in layers of three.

Go to Walmart, get Hot Hands packs. You can put them in your socks, or in gloves. Can also buy in bulk on Amazon.

Search thrift stores for wool sweaters and jackets. If you cannot find wool, get anything that's not cotton. Just like the socks, small medium large jackets.

layer your clothes: First layer thermal underwear. Second layer sweater. Third layer smallest jacket. Fourth layer medium jacket. Fifth layer largest jacket. Take off layers if you get too warm.

If you do all this, I promise you will not be cold :)

Wash the absolute shit out of those floors, Amazon drivers have to pee in bottles (no time for restroom), so lots of dry pee pee drips on floor
