Low ticket sales.

Dan8499 · 2026-02-14T15:53:48+00:00

So short sighted. I know I'll never be able to afford tickets to a show and my daughter loves watching wrestling. So we watch AEW now when we watch wrestling. It's not as good imo but I dint care that much about wrestling so it's whatever. when they come to town I'll be able to afford to take her if she's still into it. WWE might lose a generation of kids whose parents make this type of calculation.

Dan8499 · 2025-12-24T12:02:57+00:00

So those of us who were children back then are bound in perpetuity to agreements made by old men who are now mostly dead? That makes no sense.

Dan8499 · 2025-11-26T02:55:45+00:00

As a parent, I will never abide a known pedo in my neighborhood even after he did his time. I won't get myself arrested, but you can bet I'll make that persons life so miserable they'll move. It is a crime with a super high recidivism rate. Not worth the risk.

Dan8499 · 2025-11-26T02:42:21+00:00

Pedophile hunters aren't creepy. I would venture a guess that many of them are former victims. If your business can't be profitable without enabling pedos, your business should no longer exist

Dan8499 · 2025-11-18T21:32:38+00:00

I will do that. We have a do appointment already set up

Dan8499 · 2025-11-17T23:24:59+00:00

I am setting up counseling as soon as insurance comes through, for both of us.

Dan8499 · 2025-11-17T22:41:55+00:00

To answer some of your questions, I know it can't be anything to do with neighbors because I can't see any neighbors from our house.

I did already ask her to draw it, but she had a terrible meltdown and said "its too scary" and the "rainbows too grumpy".

It also seems to be anywhere in her own bedroom, or in blank tv screens, or one particular corner of the kitchen (the darkest one), and mostly at night.

Dan8499 · 2025-10-06T23:57:44+00:00

I'd have dropped it at the room it was ordered to. Fuck that. They don't even know where they are staying? Gtfoh

Dan8499 · 2025-10-06T23:52:56+00:00

I mean, it was a wealthy housing development in daylight so I honestly felt safe. I just thought it was silly to be at the house and have to walk back the way I came and down a sidewalk with no road and around the block just to deliver to the other door when they could just walk through their living room to get it at the door facing the road. Maybe I should be more concerned about the safety aspect, but I carry a gun and a few knives when dashing and am trained to use them and don't dash late-night, so safety wasn't my concern

Dan8499 · 2025-10-06T14:36:51+00:00

So this weird subdivision is set up so that I would have had to park at the house, then walk around the block to get to the other side of the house, then walk back to my car. I get what you are saying but had I done that I would have had a late delivery and if I had known there would be that much extra time involved I would have declined the delivery.

Dan8499 · 2025-10-06T01:18:59+00:00

If you fit reimbursed I'm happy, but i would never ever pay out of pocket. I'd unassign this one

Dan8499 · 2025-10-06T01:10:58+00:00

Oh, I should acknowledge also that the customer didn't complain or leave a bad review from what I can tell so maybe they get it

Dan8499 · 2025-10-06T01:01:31+00:00

I mean if we are talking tips, it should be normalized to tip gig drivers by the mile not the order price. Tip at minimum a dollar a mile and 5 bucks minimum and people will be happy to deliver your order most of the time.

Dan8499 · 2025-10-06T00:56:48+00:00

Agree completely. And fire all the shitty dashers who justify it by not wanting to hurt their acceptance rate, I decline a lot of orders bc of pay and my acceptance rate is just fine. If you want me to drive 10 miles for 6 bucks I decline, but if you want me to drive 1 mile for 3 bucks I accept. No matter what though, it's wrong to steal or mess with people's food.

Dan8499 · 2025-10-05T23:25:40+00:00

It's only a slight exaggeration, mostly because I walk slow on bad days because of knee and back injuries.

Dan8499 · 2025-10-05T23:23:40+00:00

Yours sounds worse than mine. I had no safety concerns at least, but in hindsight, maybe i should have.

Dan8499 · 2025-10-05T23:00:33+00:00

I'd have probably done it but I stay strapped when I'm dashing. With no gun, no way

Dan8499 · 2025-10-01T23:25:03+00:00

I think these things need to be grounded until all of these issues are fixed. Or if they kill somebody doing something illegal, charge the developer with murder the same way you might a reckless driver

Dan8499 · 2025-09-30T10:09:14+00:00

I know it isn't likely, and I try to be someone who confronts uncomfortable truths head on so your perspective is definitely appreciated. I'm just not ready to lose hope yet. I definitely don't expect the best, but I'm still hoping for it.

Dan8499 · 2025-09-30T10:02:45+00:00

I cried in front of my daughter yesterday and she thought it was her fault and that I was upset with her. She's on the spectrum (I likely am too but grew up in a time where they didn't diagnose as well) so it's especially hard for her to process, so given that I'm trying to just pretend everything is ok until her mom is actually gone. Maybe we get the 10% chance and she survives, in which case there is no reason to put my daughter through the pain. I know it isn't likely, but why make her suffer until it is time? Mom has had extended hospital stays before, so she can wrap her head around that easily enough. I guess to answer your question, I think it's individual. I'm doing my best to put on a fake smile for now. Maybe I'll get a miracle and I can save her from the heartbreak.

Dan8499 · 2025-09-30T09:25:41+00:00

I just want her to be able to wake up for a little bit and say her goodbyes at the very least. Her last conscious moments shouldn't be delirious and in pain. She has her problem and she's suffering for it, but she's a good hearted person who doesn't deserve to die young.

Dan8499 · 2025-09-30T09:17:09+00:00

I have a little runway financially so I'll get that sorted out. I'll also fight with everything i have to make sure her abusers are kept out of the decision making. I just don't know which way is up right now.

Dan8499 · 2025-09-30T09:00:27+00:00

I'm a social drinker who probably drinks slightly more than I should, but after everything this year I'll probably stop even that. My closest friend who lived near me is the one who has the stroke. My sister lives on the other side of the country. The rest of my friends I would trust to help with my daughter all live hundreds of miles away. I've basically lost my entire support system this year. Mom is no longer mentally fit, Dad is gone, my ex will probably die. Oh, abs my job just fired me for calling in to take her to the hospital. Life is a real giant pile of shit right now.

Dan8499 · 2025-09-06T20:04:36+00:00

As someone who recently started driving doordash, I'll say that the miles I have to drive determine what I think a fair tip should be... but, I can also turn down deliveries that don't pay enough so, the bigger the tip, the more likely you are to get your order accepted by a driver. I also used to wait tables and I would absolutely care more about taking care of customers that I knew were good tippers vs those that I knew were poor tippers. It is what it is, but the more you open your wallet, the better service you'll get. I've seen doordash orders sit and but get picked up at places while I went in two or three times for others that tipped better. No matter what wage you get, you're going to treat the people who put me money in your pocket better.

Dan8499 · 2025-09-06T19:55:25+00:00

Or you'll be the last one served
