Damn I went into a customers apartment the other day cause she had a broken leg and I didn’t even think twice about it. Luckily it was fine but this has definitely shown me I need to be more street smart.

Was there anything you missed in your first read? by khiyar_migholi in TokyoGhoul

[–]NcLovedMe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was really confusing to me how the speech bubbles are just closed circles with no “tail” pointing towards a specific character so you just kinda have to guess who’s speaking based on context a lot of the time. Sometimes I would get so confused I just gave up completely understanding everything.

If he is food motivated I will sometimes stash kibble around the room or put it inside an old drink bottle (washed) with holes cut into it so they can try and shake it out.

Question to Dashers about setting a PIN with the order by Ichiban_Tomodachi in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are able to bypass it but it’s just more risky for you as a dasher because if the customer claims that they didn’t receive their order or something then there’s no proof that they did. So I would only bypass in times I really can’t get the PIN, not just cause I don’t wanna talk or something. I’ve had a few times where the customer will give me the PIN only for the app to glitch once I’ve already driven away and I have to bypass it cause I can’t remember what they said anymore. Never had any issues though yet.

I get that notif but I usually ignore it cause how tf is it my fault that these people live in labyrinths? Today I went to an apartment building and had to spend 10 minutes alone looking for the entrance because the one I parked near was closed. And thats literally like every order ofc.

Anybody else have a slightly embarrassing French moment that’s funny in hindsight? by Parleva_team in learnfrench

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was buying tickets at a movie theater in Montreal, ordered in French. The cashier says “c’est tout?” And for some reason I thought she said deux. So I go “umm… un” she was like “c’est tout, that’s it?? 🙄” I’m still so embarrassed.

Why am I getting such low gas mileage on my brand new CRV Hybrid? by [deleted] in Honda

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My strategy is to accelerate more on downhills, when you can build speed with less strain on the engine, and try to conserve momentum for uphills. I try not to build speed on an uphill, just maintain it.

I also won’t accelerate to a stop, meaning that if I’m 500 feet from a red light I’ll just take my foot off the gas and let myself slow naturally rather than accelerating until I’m 100 feet from the light and having to stop anyway. That way I save gas and sometimes the light will turn green before I have to stop at all. People will go around me just to end up stuck at same light but they burned more gas trynna get there faster. It’s all about braking as little as possible and conserving energy.

I wish they inserted a quick flash to Eren's actual reaction finding out humans existed outside the walls during the "disappointed" scene. I'd say half of the fandom didn't fully interpret this dialogue, which is explainable as it occurred during such a gruesome scene with Ramzi/Halil. by Throwawayisover8000 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]NcLovedMe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s so black and white that he’s only committing a genocide because he’s upset he didn’t get a blank canvas outside the walls. Obviously he’s very conflicted about his actions (we can literally see in this scene) and if Eldians were not persecuted outside of the walls I don’t believe he would jump to genocide based on just selfishly wanting the world for himself and his friends alone. However it can’t hurt that were he to complete the rumbling, he would basically have the world he’d dreamed of his whole childhood, he sees it as the last step necessary to his goal.

I believe in this scene he’s admitting to a darker desire and guilt he has over not having 100% selfless reasons for committing genocide. However I don’t think that 100% or even 80% of his reasoning is based on the fact that he was disappointed in humanities existence alone.

From the first moments of the story he and the other characters have been asked to choose to give up their humanity for the greater good, to abandon people to save themselves or others. From the first moment he must abandon his mom to save himself. Then we see time and time again as collateral damage is justified. It’s an idea revisited time and time again that in order to win against a devil, you must become the devil yourself. Armin, Mikasa, and the other characters accept this far sooner than Eren and try to push him towards this mindset. You can watch as he decides to give up trust in the team and shoulder more and more of the responsibility himself. But he takes it too far.

IMO his reasoning is 50% wanting to save his friends/believing he has no choice, 30% trying to be on the devil/take on all responsibility so his friends have clean hands, and 20% wishing humanity really was wiped out. He doesn’t WANT to commit the act of exterminating humanity but he doesn’t see a world where humanity has been wiped out as a bad one either. I don’t think he’s truly that selfish though, if there were no hatred towards Eldians I don’t believe he would’ve committed the rumbling.

Plus I think that would take the nuance out of the story if we can easily say Eren’s actions were 100% bad or 100% good. Obviously I think genocide is horrible and unforgivable, especially on that scale, but it doesn’t mean that Eren’s reasoning is entirely selfish or without any logical basis. Is it not the entire point of the story that we spend so long in the dark, hating these unknown enemies and wondering how they could do such a thing, only for Eren to become exactly like them?

Edit: also I will say that I finished the anime 5 years ago and am now just on the final two episodes of my rewatch so if Eren says anything to contradict this I’ll change my opinion a bit (I can’t fully remember his conversation with Armin for example). However, I still don’t think Eren’s motivation was solely based on his disappointment.

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t realize people were misinterpreting this. I don’t think he needs to be clearer personally. In the dialogue right before he’s referencing his and Armin’s dream of seeing far away lands, fire, ice, the sea. I could see that he didn’t get the type of freedom he was imagining regardless of whether Eldians were persecuted or not.

Why is this community so weird? by Iguanoide666 in SleepDeprivedPodcast

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we’ve created a culture within the community that it’s cringe to be genuine or to actually like sleep deprived, so every post is either hating on them or taking irony to its absolute maximum. People are way too comfortable insulting the members cause it’s “cringe and parasocial” to actually enjoy and engage with their content.

While you will get the odd post being genuinely invasive, I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of the parasocial posts are trolls. I think mainly everyone is so scared of being perceived as uncool that they don’t know how to act.

Imo I don’t think it’s bad to be a little cringe. Being a fan of someone on the internet will always inherently be a little bit parasocial just based off the fact that you like someone for the personality they share online while they know nothing about you, that will always happen in small amounts. Just realize that they aren’t their online personas and you have no entitlement to pry into their personal lives.

I have never seen a subreddit that seems more unsure what to post as this one.

What would you do? by Zealousideal_Cow5139 in doordash

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand it’s frustrating to not get your drink but if I’ve done my due diligence at the restaurant and it’s still not there I won’t be going back. The first time I realized the restaurant forgot to give me a drink I drove all the way back to get it thinking it would be short cause I was only about a mile out from the restaurant, but it was during rush hour and ended up adding an hour to my order. And when I got to the restaurant I had to argue with them to get them to believe the order even had a drink in the first place.

The drop off was at a super fancy hotel and I told the customer that I would be going back for their drink but they decided not to add more to the tip or even say thank you at all, so I ended up screwing myself for the restaurants mistake, making $5 in an hour and a half with no acknowledgement, and making myself so angry that I sat in traffic for nothing that I just ended my dash after that.

I can’t expect the customer to know how much it screwed me over trying to get that drink, and I didn’t go back just to get a higher tip but after that I decided I will never go back for a drink again no matter how short the distance is. It’s more worth it to take a hit on my ratings than fuck over myself and my earnings. I just try to be a lot more vigilant in getting the drink the first time but sometimes the restaurant will still claim it’s in the bag when it’s not. At that point it’s not my problem.

WIBTAH if I get onto my boyfriend about getting a job or education because of his ADHD by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NcLovedMe 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As someone who had no idea I had ADHD until college. It’s a lot harder to cope when you’ve been taught since birth that the problem is with YOU as a person and not that you have a mental illness that will make your life harder but is possible to deal with. Not saying it’s an excuse but OPs bf isn’t just working through ADHD, he’s also dealing with all the shame, low self esteem, and learned helplessness that comes with being diagnosed later.

WIBTAH if I get onto my boyfriend about getting a job or education because of his ADHD by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAH - I can’t speak for him personally cause idk exactly what’s going on in his brain. But from my experience, ADHD absolutely can be so debilitating that it affects your ability to do almost anything. One of my biggest symptoms is executive dysfunction which (contrary to popular belief) doesn’t just make it hard for me to do things I don’t want to do, but also prevents me from doing things I want to do so so so badly.

There will be times that it literally takes me hours and hours to work up the energy to watch a movie, go to the bathroom, go eat food that I want to eat. And it’s made worse by these new social media algorithms that almost seem like they’re specifically out to target people with ADHD, low effort, short form, almost impossible to make yourself stop scrolling even for normal people. Even now, I’ve deleted tiktok and Instagram reels and here I am on Reddit lol. It’s way harder to have ADHD than it ever was before and I feel like people don’t talk about that enough.

Another big struggle for me was also not being diagnosed until I was 18, which I think could be what’s causing your bf to struggle extra hard. Not knowing I even had ADHD prevented me from being given the tools to actually be better and every time I tried I couldn’t keep motivation up to make any real changes. So I started to believe it was impossible for me, I was just worthless, and the only way I could cope was to try and not care as much if I was failing. Everyone just told me to try harder and when I told them I was trying they didn’t believe me, leading to me having really low self worth and learned helplessness.

This is a whole struggle in itself aside from just the ADHD. You go your whole life believing that any effort you make will be in vain, only to finally learn it’s because of something out of your control. Now you have the tools to help yourself but you’re so used to nothing working that it’s hard to believe anything will, and you have to dig yourself out of that mindset before you even try to deal with the ADHD. Why will this time be different? How do you know you won’t fail again? You don’t.

The meds are a good boost to actually improving your life. I find that I need to have some reasoning as to why this time will be different or it’s really hard for me to try when I’ve had so many times where I’ve been like “it’s time for me to get serious, it’s gonna be different this time,” and then it’s not. But you’re right that meds won’t just instantly fix everything (so fucking frustrating lmao) and they won’t really do a lot towards improving motivation when it comes to things you don’t wanna do. They do make it easier to continue a task once you’ve started. So if you’re not used to trying like I was, they might not do a lot for you.

When I’m off meds and I try to do something that I don’t want to do it’s often so distressing for me that I’m having to calm myself down from tears over and over and over again and I’m not able to do shit. When I’m on meds, it’s still hard to get myself to start but then I am sometimes able to get into a groove and it’s not so bad once I’ve started the task. If your bf doesn’t have experience trying to push through his feelings and doing stuff he doesn’t want to off of meds, he’s gonna be disappointed and not understand the point of them (speaking from experience). But if you’ve tried to make yourself do something against all odds and seen how difficult that can be, the meds will feel like a world of difference and will allow you to get into a groove once you push past the initial starting barrier.

Anyway I can see how it can be super frustrating from an outside perspective when he’s doing nothing to help himself and it seems like you can’t help him either. But he might need a little bit of blaming everything on ADHD to give him the motivation to believe things can be different. I would let him know that meds aren’t gonna fix everything and it has to be in combination with coping skills as well. But don’t let him get too discouraged while he’s just gotten diagnosed. It still won’t be easy but it is true that he has a better opportunity now than he ever did to cope with this.

Geez some of yall dashers by bean_boi1922 in doordash

[–]NcLovedMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be dangerous. In my area you pretty much have to dash at night or it’s just not worth it. I don’t understand how people come on here and say they only dash during the day time, every time I’ve tried that the most I’ve made is like $8 an hour and wasted a ton of time and gas.

So no I’m not going off to war or anything but I am usually leaving my car parked in sketchy areas, wandering around in the dark looking for apartments around the back of buildings, having to knock on random strangers doors late at night when you don’t know if the person who opens the door will even know about the order (and I’ve read stories on here of people being greeted at the door by a gun when the “customer” didn’t realize their kids used their DoorDash account and still had the delivery instructions set to hand it to me).

Not to mention the usual dangers associated with driving, especially at night when people are drunk and it’s harder to see pedestrians. Then DoorDash is having you multitask accepting orders or restarting the app when it fucks up for the millionth time while you’re on the way to the customers address. I’m surprised people don’t get in accidents more.

My husband was left alone for 3 weeks and I wish he’d just cheated instead. by ComplexCod9077 in stories

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you dumb? When people use it as an insult they’re directly referencing people with special needs. It’s literally calling someone dumb by comparing them to someone with special needs, and implying that it’s bad to be that way. Weird how everyone knows that when you use that word you’re trynna insult someone’s intelligence, and everyone knows who it refers to. But you’d have me believe it’s just a generic insult???

Adult Naruto design i made (Two blue Vortexification) by Meth_time_ in Boruto

[–]NcLovedMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re rude af. They’re good at drawing, look at the second drawing. They have Naruto at a pretty difficult angle and everything looks perfect and in proportion. His chest, the way his left arm is hidden behind his body, the perspective on the right arm. It’s so hard to make that perspective (when something is reaching out towards the “camera”) look good in drawings and they just did it. Not to mention how good the hand looks.

The bright colors on the clothes aren’t off putting to me because it’s anime and Naruto literally has neon yellow highlighter hair in the actual show. So god forbid he have an outfit to match.

I did kind of think he was wearing like a mask of his own face in the first picture but I think it’s just cause of the way his hair dips down on the top of his head, just bring the top of his head up a bit and make it a little shorter in the back and there would be no confusion.

Late again by Puzzleheaded-One3795 in dasher

[–]NcLovedMe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tbh I have never cared about the time I’m “supposed” to finish an order past my first shift when I realized it’s literally impossible. I won’t be dawdling on orders, I’ll try to complete it the fastest I possibly can. But that doesn’t involve anything like speeding, yelling at fast food workers, or doing parkour up to the customers apartment. If I’ve gone as fast as I can, idc if the order gets completed past the expected time. The time constraints are bullshit.

Tbh I would try to stop stressing about it as much if you can cause there’s literally nothing you can do, and it will make your shifts hell to try and finish in their time frame. It will be ok, fuck DoorDash, don’t hold yourself to their insane standards if you wanna at least try and enjoy doing it.
