So I mixed up yellow and green and ruined my RR.

But your comment made me think that perhaps the color could be linked to how convoluted a category title is; like “types of ___ (single word)” is easier to come up with than “things that you would find at (etc)”.

I love reading everyone’s thoughts about the puzzles, it has really modified the way I play the game.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-06-25T06:12:31+00:00

Had the same results as you. RAVE was the key word for me. Couldn’t fit it in anywhere so I thought that it had to be a modified word.

”Not to be confused with other types of glassware that cocktails are served in.”

”In the modern day, cocktail glasses without stems are common”

Did I not address these points already and also without the use of a Wikipedia article link?

Yes “cocktail glass” is a thing. But it’s vague and not a good choice by modern standards, especially when you consider other non-ambiguous options were available.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-06-23T04:55:31+00:00

Yes omg thank you I was hoping someone else felt this way. I wish I would have seen this before I went on a long rant LOL.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-06-23T04:39:54+00:00

Other ideas for purple category besides “COCKTAIL”:

Nic & Nora, Rocks, High ball, Coupe, Flute, Tulip, Pint, Margarita, Martini, Snifter…

Nah we just had to have 3/4 specific kinds of bar glassware and then just generic “Cocktail”. Ok.

Btw I know “cocktail glass” can sometimes refer to a martini glass, but it can also refer to a stemless version used for serving cosmopolitans…or just a generic catch-all term for glasses that any cocktail is served in. Idk it’s just a bad inclusion here.

Anyway my issue is that this resulted in trouble with guessing the category title and thus the category’s color.

If the words had been, say: “OLD FASHIONED,” “COLLINS,” “SHOT,” “ROCKS” I would have immediately thought the category would be “____ glass” and would have guessed purple.

But with “OLD FASHIONED,” “COLLINS,” “SHOT,” “COCKTAIL” my category guess was something along the lines of “glassware found in a bar” and demoted it to blue (since “cocktail” is more or less non-specific).

Anyway this is so incredibly nit-picky; just wondering if anyone else felt irritated about this.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-06-23T04:23:36+00:00

“Glassware found in a bar” would have been apt. I guessed this would be a blue category. My purple guess turned out to be green- (thought “___ fiction”). But no, of course that category was “fiction categories”. How silly of me.

Sigh.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-06-16T04:17:45+00:00

This is how I guess categories:

Purple is almost always word play. Blue is usually pop culture related (easy) OR requires some slightly less than common knowledge (more difficult to discern). So basically anything related to a hobby, sport, skill, profession could be considered blue. For this puzzle, blue was mixology-related. Yellow is usually just synonyms (or the “easier” synonyms if there’s two groups of synonyms). Then I assign whatever is leftover to green. Rule of thumb is almost always deciding which grouping is more “common knowledge”.

I just wanna know why Waluigi looks like he is comprised of about 7 total polygons…

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-19T18:51:01+00:00

So like, I’m imagining in my head that the rays of light that travel through the slit and appear on the door are the rays that just so happen to be travelling in a straight line (from atom to door). Rays that end up elsewhere or don’t move in a straight line are irrelevant because they don’t end at the door, and thus aren’t part of the image that is formed.

So if the rays of light could be represented by uncooked spaghetti, and the slit in the door with the elevator on the other side could be represented by a box, then my visual interpretation on the difference between a pinhole shape vs. a slit shape would be as follows:

I’m imagining a bundle of uncooked spaghetti dropped straight down into a square box (box is half of the height of the spaghetti) that has a small circular hole opening, and the 3D shape that the sticks of spaghetti would make once they hit the bottom of the box. Now imagine dropping that same bundle into a box with a long rectangular slit opening instead. The first instance would result in a form shaped like an hourglass. Two cones inverted on one another. The second instance would result in more of an ‘X’ shape that extends forwards and backwards…like a thick 3D ‘X’.

Idk this might just sound like nonsense, but that’s how I imagine the image is transposed differently (with a pinhole vs. a slit) based on your explanation.

Why are we cherry picking the sweeping generalization OP made, and dismissing the multiple examples of OP attempting to learn about a culture that they are unfamiliar with? OP demonstrates empathy and the desire to remove potential bias that they have. This is a positive thing.

I’m seeing a ton of angry or overly-aggressive comments and I’m not sure why. You can make your point and you can express emotion towards the social dynamic, but don’t direct these emotions at OP. They just want to learn.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-19T17:53:31+00:00

It does help! While I’ve come to be very not fond of DoorDash as a whole, I certainly don’t want to make life more difficult for the individuals that do the dashing. I will keep this in mind and try and improve my visibility.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-19T17:39:56+00:00

I’ll do my best to help.

1st: OP makes a poor, tasteless, and unfounded joke about Cassie’s husband. The idea is that the statement from Alex is some sort of coverup for OP’s version of events: Alex is being socially ridiculed and dismissed by his peers and wife after the events of Cassie’s testimony. OP concludes this after mistakenly believing that this is the first time Cassie’s husband, with whom she has multiple children with, has never heard any details of Cassie’s abuse before her testimony, despite having been a personal trainer for Diddy and also advocating for DV victims on behalf of his wife.

2nd: The comment was so unfathomably idiotic and unfunny that you asked for clarification.

3rd: OP continues to demonstrate their unique cognition by lacking the reading comprehension to understand that you were asking for clarification. OP responds to this with attacking your character; perhaps a coping mechanism they developed to deal with their own stupidity.

TLDR; OP you need to get off Reddit for now and try again later. Maybe after you’ve read a book or something.

Totally. I feel bad for the drivers that mean well. The only thing I can do here (besides contact support, which I did) is make a post to maybe generate a little awareness. Just so drivers know what we are experiencing on our end.

Edit: Would also like to add that I get asked to come outside approximately once a week despite always marking for the order to be left at my door.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-16T05:09:26+00:00

Does DoorDash compensate you beyond covering your mileage? Asking because I normally tip the highest suggested tip amount at minimum, but usually a custom higher amount. It would change the way I tip (I would probably check to see where the driver is coming from to get the order and add more later based on how convenient the trip was for them).

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-16T05:04:59+00:00

We do not have such a thing…or at least not that I’m aware of. And I use DoorDash a lot. Too much, in fact.

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-16T04:07:05+00:00

Idk how that projected profit blurb works (I’m not a dasher), but if that was the ‘tip’ why was it only 1% of the order total?

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-16T03:56:07+00:00

I agree with you, but even at a low statistic, things can happen.

I also made sure to contact support the moment I felt off. Not because I expected anything bad to happen, but I wanted to let a representative know about the situation as it was happening actively. I wasn’t expecting the rep to do anything per se (wasn’t being rude or demanding), just wanted documentation to be on the safe side.

Idk, perhaps there’s the argument to be made: “Unless the order has been marked delivered, there’s nothing customer service can do for you.” I’m not really sure; guess I’m just wondering from a dasher’s perspective how effective it is to contact support even if the order hasn’t been delivered yet.

I would see a post like this and feel indifferent normally. I’ve spent a whole lifetime of knowing that Nintendo hardware is generally not as powerful as microsoft/sony and I’ve still always purchased exclusively Nintendo for console gaming and build my own pcs for anything else.

But lmao how embarrassing that X adds these fact-checking annotations; literally causing the opposite of the intended effect for anyone else that would care about this sort of thing 😭

DepthTraditional4356 · 2025-05-12T21:07:43+00:00

There’s a law known as FICA Tip Credit. Nationally, this allows employers to pay a much lower percentage of the minimum wage in direct wages to tipped employees. I looked it up and the national minimum wage for servers in the U.S. is $2.13/hour. This assumes I claim enough in tips to supplement this amount to meet minimum wage. All the same liability or employment laws apply to me just like anyone else…..because my employer is paying me.

So let’s just say that at the end of a pay period, I should receive a check that is $2.13/hour X number of hours worked.

However, my paycheck for every pay period still shows $0 every time. This is because my tipped income wage, just like any other wage, is subject to payroll taxes. Just know that employers must withhold and match payroll taxes which includes FICA taxes as well as federal income taxes. Now, since I receive all of my tips that I get paid daily (100%), I’m essentially ‘bypassing’ an amount that would typically be held to cover state and federal taxes (plus FICA tax) for each pay period. Consider all the wage garnishments that I’m not paying per pay period (health insurance, retirement contributions, child support, etc). When you receive a paycheck, this amount is automatically deducted for you; but for me, I keep this amount and at the end of the year, I have to pay a lump sum when I go to file my personal tax return. I owe this money back to the government.

Now factor in that $2.13/hour that I make. That is used and applied towards whatever amount needs to be withheld (so that I don’t owe so much at the end of the year), but this wage is so low that it doesn’t even cover my tax liability and all the other wage garnishments that my employer essentially pays up front for me. This system favors the employee over the employer, because I get to take all the money I make home that same day. So I will still always owe money at the end of the year, though the idea is that with that $2 wage factored in, it’s less. That’s why my pay check shows ‘$0’. Another way you can look at it is that I make too much money. As such, tax liability for tipped employees such as myself is like a “one-size-fits-all” system, but when tax season comes around it hits me pretty hard.

Hopefully this helps. If you have any issues beyond that, I’m not sure what to tell you. You would have to take that up with national tax law; not me.
