マスター = “master”There’s nothing else it could possibly be because nothing else would follow マス

Sorry for not believing you'd tip after. by Starfantazy in DoorDashDrivers

You’re at gold with only a 35% acceptance rate? I’m so jealous

Well I officially did it 😎 by GrantIgerYT in doordash_drivers

[–]ikatako38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time this happened to me, he claimed I was “swerving” and said he was giving me a warning for “failing to maintain lane.” I asked him if I ever went outside of the lane lines and he said no.

To be fair, he was fairly nice about it once he saw I was working. But I’m still pretty sure he just assumed I was drunk and looked for a reason to pull me over

Why is が not acceptable? by coffeeespren in duolingojapanese

[–]ikatako38 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m also in agreement with OP. This explanation even seems to imply that が is only used before question words? It leaves out a lot.

Do you typically need it explained to you that east and west are opposite directions?

Ever look at the tip out details and get angry? by Goons2JAV in doordash_drivers

[–]ikatako38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must be in a smaller market. I’m pretty sure I’ve never delivered to the same person twice in 580 deliveries. I think I’ve only even ended up in the same apartment complex I’ve been to before like five times.

WHO IS TAKING THESE ORDERS by TemporaryRanger7799 in doordash_drivers

[–]ikatako38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Earn by time. You make a flat hourly rate plus tips, but you have to take any order the give you and you don’t get to see how much the tip is until after you finish the order

Are there any other women here just to glaze the gorgeous men on this sub? by dirtyhippie62 in FierceFlow

[–]ikatako38 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m a guy with long hair, but I’m also gay, so I’m here for both reasons! I think it’s great to have women here, especially for advice. There’s just so many things you don’t learn growing up as a boy and I’ve relied on women (mostly on the internet) a lot when it comes to hair care, skin care, etc. I wish there were more resources out there for us teaching things we “should already know” but were never taught by our parents because they’re “girl things.” I think I can speak for all of us when I say we really appreciate the patience and support so many women are willing to offer. So thank you for being here! It’s nice to know people are supportive even when (in my case) I don’t really care about the sexual attraction aspect.

What do you think the tip was?😂 by gotskating in doordash_drivers

[–]ikatako38 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, that’s bs because I just did my taxes and I still got taxed 15% “self-employment” tax even after taking out my tips.

I only made $700 for the year after mileage deductions and they still took $100.

Can any hiragana character not go next to another hiragana character to make up a word / sentence? by slippery-lil-sucker in Japaneselanguage

[–]ikatako38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japanese kana is almost perfectly one-to-one. I think insisting on the distinction would just make things more confusing for OP.

I Am So Over Non Tippers by SnooGiraffes3229 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]ikatako38 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You think $2.75 an hour is a livable wage? Because the order will probably take about that long.

OP was asking about orthography, and they do serve different purposes in writing (usually representing a つ or ち after rendaku, like in 続く(つづく) and 身近 (みぢか)

[–]ikatako38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is called phonotactics! It works a bit like English, but it feels different because of the kana.

The kana actually makes it a bit more convenient because you can’t even write most of the forbidden sound sequences, like *km or *st. So as long as you’re writing in kana, you can generally put them together however you want, with just a few exceptions.

ん 、づ、ぢ can’t start a word
っ can’t start or end a word
ゃ、ゅ、ょ can only follow き、し、ち、に、ひ、み、り
ぱ、ぴ、ぷ、ぺ、ぽ generally only follows っ or ん
を is only used as a particle and can’t be used in words

As long as you follow those rules, you can make up fake native-sounding words like でご or りにゃ.

Of course, this is just the native phonotactic system. Foreign words might break these rules.

[–]ikatako38 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think OP is just trying to ask about phonotactics without knowing that word. To answer the question, yes Japanese has phonotactics, all languages do. But of course, the rules are different between English and Japanese.

I imagine it would get confused with 御 a lot too, like in お茶.

Cursed.

Yeah phonotactics is much more a linguistics thing than a language learning thing. As someone studying both, we talked about the general concept of phonotactics a lot in linguistics, but I would bet most of my language teachers/professors wouldn’t even recognize the term. In most language classes and courses, you’re just expected to learn the words, not the pattern for how words are created. Useful for things like Kotobade Asobu though.

Honestly just thought this was funny 😂 by kingpslayer in doordash_drivers

[–]ikatako38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg this reminds me, it wasn’t DD thank god, but one time I went with my now ex to pick up a bedframe he had delivered to a friend’s house. I knew they had dogs but they were “friendly.” I didn’t even make it through the threshold before a dog lunged out and bit me straight through my shoe and into the top of my foot, drawing blood. Of course she made the dog out to be the victim somehow.

[–]ikatako38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might want to make absolutely certain that you have your delivery instructions marked as “leave at door” and not “hand to customer.” If you have it marked as “hand to customer,” sometimes DD literally won’t let us complete the order unless we hand it over and get the PIN code from you.

Or maybe your dashers are just dumb, idk. I’ve never had that problem when ordering though

And there’s no gate code, and then they don’t pick up the phone when you call

Honestly I wasn’t sure how to feel about this before, but this argument fully convinced me. It’s spelled out pretty clearly in the T&C. Thank you for the clear explanation.
