Advise on someone who want to try Rideshares for money

It's a good challenge for 1 month. The sign up challenge was for a thousand dollars, but I reckon it changes from time to time. If you can clear the sign-up bonus quest, then you are good enough to make it your 2nd job. If you can't then it's not for you. Simple as that.
Start with airports, it always will have a passenger waiting for you. You can also find someone who is nice enough to give you heads up there as well.

  • must have
  1. A lot of states require hands-free set for your phone. Get the kind that has clamps for it, the magnetic / glue / suction cup ones don't last worth shit.
  2. Insurance: don't ever drive dirty.

  • highly recommended but not required
  1. an iphone and android charger(usb type c): because faggots will give you shit review for it
  2. a leather seat cover or seat cushion: way easier to clean car seat with these
  3. all weather(plastic) feet dust catcher: the stock upholstery is going to smell like shit and hard to clean
  4. a detachable plastic sign holder: assholes feel invited to damage your car for having a uber/lyft sign on. You should have a detachable sign and take off the sign when you're not using the car.

  • fucking meme bait
  1. camera: don't fish for passengers in shit neighborhood and you don't need to worry about being robbed. I've seen Uber Man push for it, guess what, he's paid to do it.
  2. water and candy: these are only important to kids but kids are the stingiest reviewers anyway, candy and water are not worth the money
  3. newspapers, magazines, tablets: to be honest if you can get them free from local library there's no reason not to. But they're not worth spending money on.

  • should you buy a car for it
fuck no, do yourself a favor and get into the rental program offered by the rideshare company. I've seen guys who share the rental cars to cut the rental fee as well although it's officially forbidden.
  • what car is best for it
ev or hybrid. Those cars make twice the money for it with half the cost. chevy "b"olt not volt is supposedly the best one.
  • should you do food deliveries
yes, get a sealable thermal bag for it to prevent odorizing your car
  • should you work for multiple rideshare
not the first month, you want to get that sign up bonus and then if you feel confident sign up for the other
  • Where to pick up: 
airports, sports arena, and theme parks. these are generous with parking structures and have great rate as well. beaches and bars are win-or-lose, they make horrible passengers and almost always fill your car out by trying to have 7 people fit in a small sedan.

advise on joining US military

  • go reservist or state
Same amount deployment missions, much better treatment and safer bases. You can go full time reserve and enjoy a better benefit than regular army shmucks.
  • look into MOS identifier training
bug your recruiter for this. In my case(vehicle mechanic), the MOS identifier was '-H8'. You are above your peers because you got trained to do more stuff. Any and all training you can take, take. It all adds up in paycheck and nobody will fuck with you just because you have little extra pin on your chest. It's stupid, but people in general are stupid.
  • fuck the top 25 job
Your recruiter will push you for these MOS, they are in demand, thus they get more points for shipping you in such job. What this means is that you're stuck. You will never be able to change MOS until you re up.
  • look into sign up bonus
Some of this shit can be tens of thousands of dollars. Also, if you got friend who wants to come, you get a bonus for signing someone else. Get that bonus and split with your friends.
  • learn the creeds and coc
In every unit you'll be at, you must know your job creed, soldier's creed, infantryman's creed, and your chain of command(boss names). There will be a lot of shit you need to memorize, don't be the one to get caught not knowing stuff you should.
  • do research on what banks your basic/ait has
You should have a bank account for banks in your training base. No, Chase or Bank of America or US Bank are not in all of the bases.
It's bullshit, but get it set up online so you can close those account later. I couldn't close my account in fort jackson until years later I decided to cave in and buy a plane ticket there to be physically there to close it.
  • Army Knowledge Online
make sure you pick an easy username and password to remember. Fuck the recruiters who tells you to make a secure un/pw. Fuck, put your last four ssn. There are ton of shits you will have to know, don't make more than you need to. Also, put their help hotline number on your phone. You will need it. You can change all that shit later after you get assigned to your unit.
  • Armystudyguide.com be familiar with your regulation
Your success is 100% based on your knowledge of your references, not your actual skill. This is a problem, but not something you can fix. Know your army regulation numbers and memorize them. Shit, I'll tell you right now. AR 670-1 (uniform standard), FM 21-20 (PT), and FM 3-22.9 (M16). Know at least those three regulations back to back. Trust me on this.
  • don't bring electronics
In training, they'll be taken away. Some training facilities are allowing them, but do yourself a favor and save the headaches. It will be a headache trying to get your shit back should anything out of the ordinary happen to you.
  • stationary
Stationary were allowed when I was in training, which I admit was 10 years ago. Bring notebooks and pencil, so you can draw/write and not be bored out of your mind. Religious books such as bible is also okay.
  • your recruiter is not the most knowledgeable person about military
Take what he tells you with a grain of a salt. Take what I tell you here with a grain of a salt. Every unit has their own standards, things are gonna be different. which leads to...
  • BASIC and AIT life
some places will put your entire platoon in a wide ass open room and you might end up living with the dankest stank ass mother fucker, with two working laundry machine for 2.5k troops. some place will let you stay in a private apartment room. Don't expect nice shit to happen to you, nothing is guaranteed.
  • mail
your family and friends are allowed to send you sweets. please have them do. You don't know it,
but you need them.

Breaking free from curse

Everyone who spends any time on the Internet frequently has at least one site to settle in. That could be anything, really, from a simple news site, to social network sites to forums to image boards. It may be an exaggeration, but I feel it isn't wrong to say that anyone who isn't doing work, but still on Internet is bored. It is natural human behavior to find a place to pass time, and other people who share a common interest. I was no different, and I had a need to set my home, if you will,  down somewhere.

That site for me was 4Chan. Not the first place, mind you. I guess now is a good time to talk about how I got there. When I first learned of Internet, I thought it was only made up of commercial and informational sites. I enjoyed reading updates of various anime and game sites very much-because 90's Japanese cultures were phenomenal-but I disliked how long I had to wait for new contents. Soon after, I discovered message boards, and my mind was blown away. Instead of waiting for days to get contents, messages popped up by hours! I begin searching through subjects that interested me immediately after. I started my internet no-life on Final Fantasy Worlds Apart, a miniature messageboard that was ran by some British guy who knew Japanese, and it was about the FF game series which was really big at the time. Then, around Final Fantasy Tactics or 8's release, I lost my interest, because of the drastic change the series has gone through. So, I moved to a few messageboards that were of my remaining interests, like fighting games. Sites like Orochinagi, Shoryuken, and SNK-Capcom still holds my user IDs, I'm sure. The problem is that Fighting game sites are competitive by nature, and so are the forum goers of fighting games. Although I was eventually able to adopt to the way things work down there, the path was hurtful and forum hierarchy annoyed me greatly. Around this time I found imageboards as I have been actively looking for porns. Then I got to old 5chan which, I liked, but eventually closed down for the Admin's personal reasons, and I followed the mass migration into 4chan alongside other users. I felt that being anonymous, I got to speak freely about my opinions.

It took me a decade, but I now see how untrue that is. Continue on another part due to post limit.

"Why do when I play videogames I feel like I am wasting my life?"[sic]

You would if you produced nothing on the way:
 ripping soundtrack
 writing/filming walkthrough
 hunting for glitches and exploits
 speedrunning and recording replay
 learning back story of the game and how it was created
 fanwork i.e. comics and stories
 mod
 making unique controllers to fit the game
etc etc
such things would not only heighten the experience, but also helps you learn skills other than gaming.
Hard core gaming breathes new meaning to it all. If you are just a passive person, which is mostly fine, then you really don't distinguish yourself between the rest of mindless TV viewing public.

The General People who don't get it will give gamers a lot of shit just for being a gamer. That doesn't mean there isn't any meaning to it at all. As I grew, I still enjoy the same thing I did when I was decades younger, but I do it in a different light. When viewing a comic, I now know how it was made, what planning went through for the story and how it was colored. When watching a cartoon, I am now blessed to be able to marvel at the techniques employed to save or exaggerate key frames. When I play a Platformer A, I can see the decision behind why the developer chose to make jump certain way, how s/he gave momentum of player character. With this in depth look, these mediums only really grow more wonderful over time. Thus, I can only conclude that people who chose to keep their passion on have more in critical thinking in mind, than the soulless rest.

Tips about dealing with homosexuality

Treat private lives as illusion that it is. You know it doesn't matter what race someone is when it comes to the true character of that person. It's the same thing with sexual orientation, or the town they're from, or the type of blood they have, or their horoscope.

Note all those things I mentioned, there were time when people seriously judged someone else because of those traits. Not very fair right? You aren't being fair if you can't get over it.

Just know that they are 100% same people like you outside of their sexual life. Know that they're not into you, just because of orientation. You don't worry about straight people and what they do with their bf/gf so why should you care about someone else's?

Games

If you enjoy storytelling, adventures and text adventures are better than RPGs. Rougelikes are better role playing than wrpg/jrpgs, and for combat and resource management you should go for Strategy or tower defense games.
RPGs are just introductory games with big contents.

Easy to learn, hard to master, lack in variety tier
-Puzzle
-Music
-Shmup

Has depth, but too difficult to learn properly
-Fighting
-RTS / TBS
-FPS
-Rougelikes
-Management Simulation

Best enjoyed as a social means in short bursts
-Sports
-Racing
-Party / Traditional
-arcade simulation
-arcade ticket

Charming, but gets old fast:
-Rail Shooter
-Platformer
-Adventure
-Tower Defense

Cheaper than Lego:
-Sandbox

For people with elementary reading comprehension:
-Visual Novel
-Interactive Video
-Dating Sim
-Edutainment

-I only do chores in digital forms:
RPG

This word does not categorize gameplay:
MMO

Condoms is too hard a word to say, I guess

>be a foreigner
>work in a gas station through my high school years
>douche faggot comes in
>it's pretty apparent that he's too embarrassed to be able to say comdom while looking for it
>pretend to not understand what he says when he refers condom to any other words he can
>finally assume my normal accent back and tell him that it's right by him

I love it when people are too embarrassed about anything.
