I have fatphobic thoughts, and sometimes stereotype fat people. I'm trying to work on it, but it's hard stopping a particular pattern of thinking. I logically know what's wrong with that, and I don't believe I've actually acted on those thoughts, but it still is something I need to work on.

I think it's mostly because of traffic accidents, not violence.

I deliver groceries for Walmart Spark, and last night I took one last order because it was going towards my house. I had so many problems with shopping for it, and then I get to my car and load the address and the delivery note says, "Bring inside house".

I've had this note before and it's always some asshole who wants to treat me like their butler because they paid $10 for delivery. It's a huge time waste compared to leaving it on the stoop. "Put the milk in the fridge and put this here, and that there". I'm not even supposed to go inside, but when I tell them that I get, "Everyone else does it" and arguing ends up taking more time than just doing it.

Anyway, I get there and it's the sweetest little old lady named Doris. She was leaning on her walker, waiting at the door for me. She just got back from visiting her kids out of state and didn't have any food in the house. Brought her food in and talked to her for a few minutes.

It kind of made me sad because she shouldn't be living alone. I don't know the situation, though. Maybe her kids have tried to get her to move in with them and she doesn't want to.

I had to wait for a toilet to open in a Walmart bathroom and an employee used the urinal and didn't wash his hands. It was full of customers, and he didn't even do a half assed rinse off.

Was the video the one looking into cars4kids? Because that was a legitimately good video. Cumtown is barely mentioned in it.

A vape designed for runners. It looks like a camelbak, but instead of water, its a vape hose.

Osprey is such a cool bird. They live near calm bodies of water because it allows them to see fish below the surface. They basically dive into the water to get them.

Not sure if this needs a CW, but it's what I described above: Youtube Link

The problem is it's not consistent. I'll have some good days and then make $45 being available all day, like today.

Still, I'm really happy with it in comparison to the other options. Yeah, I technically "worked" 10 hours so far for $45, but 8 hours of that has been sitting at home.

My first 3 weeks as an app servant (Walmart Spark gig work) has gone pretty great. I made $1300 last week after expenses. Even factoring in self employment tax, it's way more than I would have made working a full time job. I was getting rejections from shit tier jobs that paid $600(pre-tax) a week.

Even if I end up making less and need to take some time off, I should be able to make this work until I find solid employment.

My only real observation at this point is that I am surprised more people aren't noticing how much bullshit it all is.

I think a lot of people do see that everything is a grift, but they feel like the only thing they can do in response is be a grifter to avoid being the griftee.

It's basically how many of these things work. People buying meme coins know it's just a scam, but people but them thinking they'll dump them on some other sucker. Like the car salesman selling that pyramid scheme, he probably knows by now it's ultimately a con, he's trying to get others in so he can go from being a victim to a perpetrator.
