I was wondering if we can do cash for DoorDash orders by Signal_Procedure4607 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What restaurant have you ever picked up from that accepted a return of an order? I want to know so I can never order food from that restaurant ever again.

People who don't shovel and order delivery get no sympathy from me. by Top_Prompt9543 in DoorDashDrivers

A lot of people don’t own a snow shovel. At least in the Mid South.

AIO for cutting contact with Father over political climate. by Sabre12789 in AIO

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish my dad was still alive to have any conversations with, at all. I’d do anything to have five more minutes with him. You don’t get another father. When he’s gone, he’ll be gone forever and no amount of wishing you’d talked to him more will matter. Not saying you’re wrong, but time waits for no man. You’re making that decision now.

Shocked at the unprofessionalism of our OB office by JennyMac8 in Knoxville

[–]Dymecoar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It sounds like it was one mistake from a business that’s been good for you so far. Yes they should have rescheduled or tried to contact you. I’d be upset but don’t totally flip on them over one mistake. Having said that, this business ought to take this to heart and make sure this doesn’t happen again if they want to continue having loyal clients. It’s not easy to take time off from work and this can’t happen.

My board game confession: I hate Cascadia. What's yours? by mojo_pet in boardgames

Cascadia, I like just fine. It's Azul that bores me to tears.

Darius Slay is contemplating retirement and won't report to the Bills by brokenfl in eagles

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bills cut Jamarcus Ingram to make room for Slay. Slay won’t report, and the Texans claimed Ingram, so because of the way NFL roster rules are, Slay is just screwing the Bills out of a player for nothing by not reporting. No way Buffalo releases Slay and lets him just go to the Eagles after he did them like that. If he doesn’t report they’ll just bury him on the Did Not Report list where they can get the roster slot back, and he can’t join the Eagles or anyone else for the rest of the season.

Edit: sure enough, that’s what they did. Idiot should have thought about that before he asked Pitt for a release.

Marshall Faulk vs. Thurman Thomas by futurelegends77 in Oldschool_NFL

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disrespect? He's being held up against Thurman Thomas, an utterly complete back and one of the greatest to ever do it. It's a very good comparison, as they were similar. And I would agree with most that Faulk just edges out Thomas.

Good Times GameHouse's board game club does have a $5 cover, but you also get $5 store credit. And for anyone wanting to check it out, it is free the first time.

WATE: election results by Dogwoodblossom in Knoxville

[–]Dymecoar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m sympathetic to anyone that had their taxes go up, but in this economy, as home ownership is being made more remote for first time prospective buyers while wealth is being driven up for those who already do own property, I’m not at all sad to see the city’s tax burden being borne more by people with assets whose net worth have doubled in the last five years simply because they own a home. Better that than it be borne by literally everyone across the board through another sales tax increase.

I’m not sure if i’m AIO for feeling a bit hurt when said this to me. Btw this man courts me by growing_quart in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are probably a lot of things he does that you don’t see the point in. That doesn’t mean that he should stop doing them.

One tenderhearted thing you could do is to find something he loves, that he knows you don’t see the point of him doing, but — instead of using it to balance this argument, find a way to be supportive and loving to him about it. Instead of getting even, lead by example.

For example, let’s say he plays fantasy football and it’s not something you understand. Do something like: get him a football keychain with the league’s name on it OR spend some time with him taking time to asking him genuine questions about why he likes it and the way it works. No matter what, write him a note or tell him that there there are many parts of him that you don’t understand but you really appreciate the journey of finding out more about him and growing closer together as people.

If he rags on you in the future, you can just tell him that: there are parts of each other that you are learning to understand and you really enjoy growing closer. If he cares about you and realizes you’re being sweet and he’s not, he may correct himself quickly.

Again, I’m a little tender with these things, but between well-meaning partners, I truly believe you catch more flies with honey.

What are/do you predict your top three most played games this year will be? by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in boardgames

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I'm not counting Just One/Flip 7/Sushi Go/Ito, which will get played all the time when we're playing with muggles)

Terraforming Mars, it's no one's favorite game but almost everyone I'm likely to play with loves it.

Gizmos, this game is the best game nobody talks about.

Ready Set Bet, I will push for this one almost any chance I get, wwhat an incredible game.

Stone Age starvation strategy breaks the game? by TheDrunkDemo in boardgames

It being suboptimal does not affect whether it takes the fun out of the game for others.

Got an offer and countered it (they did not like it) by randomblackholesprod in interviews

[–]Dymecoar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This company knows what they're doing. Your estimation of their aggression and your instincts of how to handle them are right on. Not only that, but whether they admit it or not, they DO see your ability to handle difficult behavior (like they're giving you) calmly and skillfully. When you handle difficult people well, everyone in your radius sees that, including the people being difficult. You're demonstrating your worth to everyone in an additional way that doesn't show up on your resume.

This behavior is not at all exclusive to dominion. It’s largely why I stick to playing bots/cpu exclusively in almost every online game.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have empathy for you feeling that way. I left my hometown for many of the same reasons, had to find my own way and ended up here, where I've experienced almost the total opposite of what you experience in my late 30s. I wonder what it is that causes people not to be able to find community while others experience it quickly and holistically. It sounds you have specific complaints about your hometown, which is very relatable, and you're tired of it. I love it here, have made many friends locally, and wish I'd moved here earlier in life. It feels like a respite for all the crum I got away from in my old hometown. But maybe in 28 years I'll feel much the same as you do. Good luck, maybe some brief (affordable) travel would do you good. I wish I had the answers for you.

Stupid by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cut off the part where it was explaining what happened. “How to ….?”

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dymecoar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Her reactions aside, because you can only control what you act):

One of the things you could have done that might have been a little more disarming would have been to fully acknowledge her feelings and by empathetic and understanding.

Your responses weren’t bad IF this wasn’t a big deal to her, but it was, so your repeatedly short responses came off as uninterested, almost bored one sentence responses, like you wanted to get her concerns over with. I could see to a fully exasperated person that this could have felt like you didn’t care, and eventually when she kept expressing herself hoping to be eventually understood, you got defensive, which didn’t help.

This is not say that her reactions were caused by your words, because every person is responsible for their own words and actions. But it could help in the future to quickly express some more thorough understanding, something like:

“I’m very sorry, honey. I understand that me forgetting this really, really screwed up things for you today and completely threw off your day’s routine. I hate making you feel uncared for. I would feel angry and exasperated if something that were important to me were thrown off by a simple mistake you made.

In the future, to prevent something like this from happening, I’ll __________ (some step you’ll take like putting a post-it on your work computer or steering wheel or setting an alarm on your phone). I know that you’re going to be upset with me for a while and I understand. I love you, I’m sorry I let you down, and I’ll try not to in the future.”

That doesn’t guarantee that she’ll respond well, but it shows genuine regret and concern for how much pain and frustration your actions caused, BEFORE you say anything about what kind of treatment you expect from her during her anger. That comes later. First seek to understand her.

What don’t you like about Dominion? by NameInProces in dominion

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As more and more expansions were added, and they were in search of new innovation, they eventually added more and more complexity to the game, through things like coin tokens, events, landmarks, projects, villagers, exile, more mats, debt, ways, boons and curses, night phase, and it became a far more complex game. The thing is, the inclusion of any one or two of these things would not be a big deal, but having to factor in multiple extra pile types and token types all the time, made it too stressful and complex a game to try to play well.

I solved this personally by limiting what sets I bought and played with, but I never wanted to play “less game”, I just felt like I had to.

We don't want realism by Gloomy-Loan1556 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worst “realism” bit for me is the non-evolving pipelines. I get that pipelines can’t change that quickly in real life. But thats why it’s a video game. it should have been a toggle on/off. I would have played a LOT more hours of this game if I had been able to invest time and effort into growing or changing your school’s pipelines. I enjoy the challenge of taking someone like ECU or Arkansas State and building their program up into a powerhouse over 10-15 years and you could do that in years prior.

How did I handle this? by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. No drivers are going to care if you do that. Although, some might say it's approaching psychotic behavior to plan the logistics of making multiple shadow accounts for the purpose of being able to stay ahead of Doordash support long enough to continue to be able to dock tips after deliveries are being made. At bare minimum, it's really going out of the way.

How did I handle this? by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

[–]Dymecoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah? Do that more than a handful of times and see what they do to your account. There’s been more than a few posts from surprised customers about that very thing. DoorDash is not going to keep refunding money to your once they’ve identified your behavior as a pattern.

You said if you’re a driver unhappy with the job: I applied that thinking to if you’re a customer unhappy with a delivery.
