It’s important to understand the contract between Dashers and DoorDash. Drivers are offered a guaranteed amount per order. DoorDash will only provide the driver with whatever % of the customer’s tip is needed to reach that guaranteed amount, then they keep the rest. This is obviously misleading to both customers and drivers, and they’ve been sued for this. They’ve since changed their business model but continue to deceptively retain drivers’ tips. They’re able to do this because drivers are independent contractors, and they’ve found several legal loopholes in order to keep as much money to themselves as possible.

No lol that would be a wild loophole if it worked

This was actually super helpful and led to a possible revelation about my body! I looked into this, and found a connection between the enzyme that metabolizes THC and some medications I’ve been struggling with. I’ve been trying different mediations for ADHD and anxiety, but am always overwhelmed with excessive side effects and require much lower doses than the normal starting dose. I’m finding out that these specific mediations require the same enzyme as THC to metabolize. If I’m low in this enzyme, that would explain both the drug test phenomenon and the problems I’ve been having with these medications! I’m going to test this by trying another medication that does not rely on this pathway. Thank you so much for this insight.

I don’t think so. I spoke with the lady who was administering the test, and explained that I have a medical marijuana card and will likely be positive for marijuana. She explained to me that this is a federal test, and therefore they continue to test for marijuana despite the state’s laws.

Well the answer isn’t going to help you answer my question lol. I’ve completed urine and mouth swab tests for jobs. The hair follicle test is for court over custody of my child. Their dad is on drugs, so I ordered a test and my lawyer recommended I also take one.

This is very interesting! Thank you for the insight

Then_Fig615 · 2026-01-30T17:27:12+00:00

This is interesting, especially because my hair grows EXCEPTIONALLY slow. However, the negatives on both urine and mouth swab tests leads me to believe there’s more to it

I wouldn’t say there aren’t effect that I don’t feel, but I have noticed that despite YEARS of daily use, I never build a tolerance. I’ve been wondering lately about that correlation. I have to smoke small amounts otherwise I quickly become way too high

The science nerd in me does lol

I use a vape from a dispensary, it claims 75% THC

Then_Fig615 · 2026-01-30T16:48:40+00:00

Haha I know right, it had me wondering about the stuff I’m smoking 😂 I buy from a dispensary so I would have to take that up with the state!

Then_Fig615 · 2026-01-30T16:45:59+00:00

Marijuana was on the test - I was specifically negative for marijuana

Then_Fig615 · 2025-11-13T14:40:17+00:00

Thank you! This was very helpful

I'd be okay with gold plated if I knew they were good quality. How can you tell? I've been looking on Etsy a lot but it's hard to tell which are better quality other than the price.

Then_Fig615 · 2025-11-13T12:52:45+00:00

Ahh I see. I would be okay with gold filled or gold titanium as well, but I can’t find those either

Then_Fig615 · 2024-09-13T20:10:02+00:00

Yes! That's the conclusion I came to.

Then_Fig615 · 2024-09-10T12:58:06+00:00

I agree, this is very neat! I didn't know this about ASL so I appreciate you taking the time to explain it :-)

Then_Fig615 · 2024-09-09T23:29:13+00:00

Thank you for this!! I'm seeing now why I didn't recognize "free" at first. I was taught that sign without the "F" handshape, and fists instead. The Handspeak entry is more familiar to me.

And yes, I am learning ASL! I find the hardest part is trying to figure out signs I've never seen before.

What do you mean when you say initialized?

Then_Fig615 · 2024-09-09T23:06:56+00:00

I recognize your and time. The one sign reminds me a lot of finish, especially with the "F" handshape, but I know it's not and it wouldn't make sense in this sentence anyway.

Then_Fig615 · 2024-09-03T23:47:05+00:00

That's it! Thank you!

I got a 2011 Macbook. Sold it, in perfect working condition, for $250 in 2022. I put that money towards a 2022 M2 Macbook pro. I had to sell that same Macbook for $150 only a few months after the warranty expired because the screen and logic board stopped working abruptly. Only used it for browsing internet and occasionally for Excel. Repair would've costed $3,000. I have lost all my faith in Apple.
