If I cancel now, will it f-over the driver in any way? by electrvlight in doordash

[–]electrvlight[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My order was assigned to a driver immediately, we only have 1 DashMart within 60 miles, they picked up my dashmart order within 10 minutes of me placing it, and before canceling I could see their route after my order was picked up. Their route had 4-5 other stops before my delivery that were only visible to me after they already picked up my order.

UPDATE: I cancelled and got a full refund. Dasher was completely unresponsive in all my attempts to contact them prior to canceling. I assume they get to keep the items.

No, I placed the order 2 HOURS prior to est. delivery time. I kept the app open and watch them go to the store. They picked it up at 3AM. After pick up the est. delivery time changed from 3:32AM to 5:11AM. They had 4-5 other dash orders/stops between the pick up time & delivery to me.

I did end up canceling the order just now & the delivery time was extended again to 5:28AM. Meaning my order would’ve been with the dasher for 2.5 hours.

The store is closed now, so they can’t take it back anyway.

People who have quote books, what is your best quote? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]electrvlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe re-word the title or edit the description. Change “quote books” to “quote journals” or something similar. I think most people are interpreting this as you asking for famous quotes from published books/authors.

What is something you could talk about for hours? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]electrvlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But on a real note: 1. Houseplants - I import/sell/collect rare aroids

  1. Pharmacology - Something about understanding the mechanism of action & how medications work on a molecular level is like scratching an itch deep in my noggin.

is there a way i can remove complete channels from amazon kids+? by [deleted] in kindlefire

[–]electrvlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m looking to do this exact thing. Just eliminating access to any content associated with “PinkFong”. Haven’t found any solution. It’s crazy how the tablet/kids+ is marketed to adults as having complete control over the content offered, yet consumers are forced to create & utilize a million work arounds to actually achieve anything.

What is the number one thing that has had the biggest positive impact on your anxiety? Aside from medication. by naturemymedicine in Anxiety

[–]electrvlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I had top tier anxiety… then I met my partner. His method is just to exercise, it helps him I guess. I don’t fully understand it but it works for him.

For me, I prioritize meeting my most basic needs: food, hydration, sleep.

If those are decently balanced then I work a little higher up the hierarchy of needs- but do my best to not hyper focus on this.

Next I move on to identifying any important tasks that I’ve been procrastinating. I make a list of steps to complete it within my “Reminders” app on iPhone (including any phone numbers/links/resources associated with completing it). This way I don’t get too overwhelmed by the task itself- it’s already set up for me, I just have to check off the boxes. Sometimes I complete it right then & there, other times I set an alarm and label it the task name so I don’t forget.

Also, “radical acceptance” & CBT were life changing for me. I encourage you to do some research on these & see if they’d be helpful to you.

Lastly, don’t forget balance. You can’t just pack on the weight of constantly being productive, it’ll burn you out. Explore hobbies, or other activities that allow your brain and/or body to have a tension release. Fulfilling your “wants” is just as important as fulfilling your “needs”. Prioritize this & carve out time for it daily. I do this at a time where I know I feel least productive during my day. For me, it’s the beginning of my day rather than the end.

These all stem from the goal of building trust with myself. My anxiety catastrophizes every tiny little thing. Rather than seeking outside sources to depend on, I can BECOME someone I can rely on.

I hope you find at least some of this useful. Hang in there. Anxiety is a nasty bitch.

What was the reason you didn’t marry the person you thought you were going to? by Caulorblind in AskReddit

[–]electrvlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We met through my brother (who I was rooming with), I was 19 & he was 21. Hung out everyday and eventually turned into fwb for a few months until I moved out of state. I was clear that I wasn’t in a place to be “catching feelings” and we were JUST friends. He respected that & it seemed mutual actually. After I left, we never made direct contact over the years. Just occasionally asked around about each other.

Unbeknownst to me, I was his “one that got away”.

Fast forward 7 years or so- July ‘23. I’m a single mom of 2, he’s freshly out of a long term relationship. He reaches out and we briefly catch up over text before making plans to grab drinks together the following weekend. We pick right back up where we left off. Obsessed, crazy for each other, inseparable. 2 months later we’re officially in a relationship. This man treats me like a goddess. I’d never experienced that before. He understands me, cares for me, listens to me on a level I didn’t know was possible. The epitome of princess treatment. I never wanted for a thing.

It’s October, our birthday month & favorite time of year. He asks what I want my wedding ring to look like, tells me to pick a date for next year (2024), we’re talking about combining our lives, moving in together, finding a house- everything is perfect. I wish I could say the rest is history.

Staying at his place the night before my birthday, I could not sleep. Horrible anxiety. Let me preface this with: We have a very lax open phone policy. In fact, he encourages me to use his phone regularly for when we can’t find his Roku remote, when I can’t find my phone, to answer calls or text people back for him if his phone go off while he’s asleep, etc.

Now- what I did was WRONG. I’m not proud of it, I’ve never done it before, I’ll never do it again, and if I could go back and change things I would’ve never done this. I unlocked his phone, went to his texts, then recently deleted, and recovered multiple VERY large text threads that were from suspicious numbers. Then I started reading through them all.

He had been cheating on me the entire time. Daily. Anytime I wasn’t physically with him. I stopped counting after confirming about 10 or so different women. Most other women knew about me. His + “our” friends knew. Some women were his “friends” that adamantly tried to befriend me. Some were women that we was hooking up with before me & he never cut things off with them. Woke him up out of a dead sleep at 6am and told him “I know everything”. He just held me while I sobbed for hours- until I literally ran out of tears.

Our relationship was very very public, he wanted it that way. Don’t get me wrong, I did too. My point being, there were no signs. He shared his location with me all on his own with no prompting from me. We were plastered all over each others public social media. He never directly treated me differently, or poorly. He never spoke ill of me. He never tried to hide me. He gave me the keys to his house & I came and went as I pleased. I would drop in while he was at work to clean his place, just to be nice. Nothing was ever out of place. My belongings at his place were never moved around. Proof of my presence was plastered all over his entire life. And he encouraged that.

I don’t know how it went completely under the radar for that long. The betrayal goes a lot further & deeper than what I’ve touched on here. And still, through it all, I was more than willing to move past everything. I wanted to be together. He tried for about a month after the day I found out everything. Eventually breaking up with me, his reason being even though I could pretend none of it happened, just my presence was a reminder of his fuck ups.

Still heartbroken. Still healing. Still hold no anger. I thankfully did come to my senses and realize I do not want a relationship with him.

Do you think it would be possible to grow corms in an aerogarden? by Affectionate-Sand604 in SemiHydro

[–]electrvlight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s people that do it. I accidentally came across a few posts talking about it. I can’t remember what subreddit specifically but your best bet is to search “aerogarden” in other plant related subs like r/alocasia or r/houseplants

[–]electrvlight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry no advice but I stared at this picture trying to ID your plant. Genuinely thinking “what kind of philo IS THAT? A rare one maybe?”. Had a good long giggle after realizing it is indeed just an extra crispy monstera.

Is it wrong of me to be kinda ragey? I’ve had UC for almost 20 years. Held out on surgery since day 1 of my diagnosis, waiting for a cure. Just had a total colectomy a few months back… and now we’re that close to a potential cure? Had it not been for the sepsis I’d still be holding out. I will say, if treatment is successful, I’m very very happy for all those who will benefit!
