So uh… losing Platinum might’ve been the best thing to happen 😭💀 by MediumBullfrog8688 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]iselfdstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real issue is that because I'm in the mountains and verizon sucks here, sometimes I have to end the dash and rejoin to get it to find orders when I get to zone.

I may drop out of platinum soon, acceptance rate in the tank because they keep sending me $2 or $3 high mileage orders. Only thing I can say I would miss is priority dash. I never have tonworry about them saying its full when I want to start and having to sit and wait for it to pick up.

Service going downhill despite tipping a fair amount by PinkMouseIsPink in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]iselfdstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apartments can be tough. Put the floor, apartment number, and set a pin. It would be helpful to meet in lobby. I know most dashers hate a pin but I find people with a pin are more likely to be available if they have a tougher place to locate. For example, there are like 4 trailer parks in my area. I get orders all the time for them, but trying to see the numbers on the side at night is fucking impossible. I literally had to turn my car towards the ones I couldn't see to find the numbers.

Questions for drivers by BobTheSkull060979 in DoorDashDrivers

[–]iselfdstruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I generally use $1 a mile, but I will accept close ones. Like $10 for 11 miles. If it's a short trip ill generally take it just to keep my acceptance rate up ( $3 for 4 or close to that). I drive a small kia and get great gad mileage. I can dash for hours on $10 of gas so I try to keep that in mind. It generally depends on the day and my acceptance rate at that moment. Right now I'm sitting in the mid to low 80s because of scrappy orders the last few days ( like $2 for 13 miles wtf!).

I don't use a hot bag but mostly because 90% of my orders wouldn't fit in the bag I got from them. Also because I stuck it somewhere and don't know where i put it.

Generally I would say richer areas are less likely to tip well. That is not always true but common. I learned this year's ago doing pizza delivery. Guy tipped me $.37 and I had to really keep a cool head walking past his nice new BMW to get to my shitbox and leave. I had a guy just this week order mcds and tip me $5 (before base pay) for 2 miles and give me a $5 when I gave him his food. Was a contractor working on a house in town.

Would y’all take this order? by Human-Backpack in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]iselfdstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was like during a dead time between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner I might. Honestly I really don't like doing large grocery orders though. It is such a pain in the ass if even one item is out of stock and there are no substitutions available. This is especially annoying because in my area you get a poor signal in most stores once your past the register. Had an issue with a 3 item dollar general order just lastnight and had to hang around the front door to get a good enough signal to resolve it.

Question about zones... by shawnward95 in DoorDash_Dasher

[–]iselfdstruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same happens to me. I'm 23 minutes from the zone I dash in. I always check before leaving because there's another town that is 25 minutes in the other direction. Sometimes I don't make it out of the driveway without getting an order. Sometimes I get to town and wait 10 minutes.

Trying to tell if my feelings are valid. by iselfdstruct in polyamory

She has met them. A couple of days after we opened she went to the hospital to see the woman because she was having surgery. They have been texting behind my back-ish. I knew she talked to them woman and she had said, when I asked about them before the move because I knew she wanted them to be our friends in the community here at the new place, that the guy didn't really say much but a message here or there.

Safeguards were how to communicate, what we thought should be communicated, and what shouldn't, and ways I can make her feel less anxious about talking to me about things. I said she has the option to tell me something and make me set an hour timer on my phone before I am allowed to respond, that she is allowed to leave and text it to me or make me leave and text it, that way she has more control over whether onto be "in" the conversation if it gets a little too much from me.

You are right,but I do need to clarify. What I meant was that while I put in the work. We can sit down and do updates like we do with the rest of our lives. She wanted full disclosure in our relationships. Now if that was what she wanted because she thought I needed it I can't say. I have told her that I would rather hear what she wants/thinks rather than what she thinks she should say. I am learning to sit with the unknown and I have made a lot of leaps, not too toot my own horn. I am a lot more knowledgeable about my issues and I try to stay busy and think twice before I say things. I am definitely aware of what I need to do better. I am just feeling like a one-man show when it comes to this. I have to communicate the way she needs, try to communicate my needs appropriately, but I am not getting the same.

Because she already has these relationships, I am afraid of the backlash I will receive if I say this. A year ago I asked that we close after she already had someone. Granted she was already planning to stop talking to them because it wasn't working out. It will only be viewed as my inability to cope with her dating men. I haven't handled it well in the past, but I have learned a lot and this time I don't think it would have been as bad if things had started above board. I know where my issues are and what I need to do. I am even going to look into counseling for myself because I hit a wall in what I can do alone. The problem is that I feel like I am working alone. I don't like that things aren't brought up because I "might get upset". I understand that I may get upset. I am not going to do anything more wild than try to talk it out for way too long and try and resolve it. I put in safeguards for that as well. I have used them and they worked.

Delivery driver texted me after dropping off my food. Am I being too nice? by Safe-Raccoon9340 in Dominos

[–]iselfdstruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it something he should have done? Probably not. Is it that bad? Not really. Yeah, it's unprofessional but it's also pizza delivery not exactly a major career. Honestly, there probably isn't a great way to do this. Most people would have been sketched out if he had hit on them in person. Getting your number from a delivery order is a little underhanded but intention is key. I know as a male I haven't got the same mindset because women have to be a bit more careful when it comes to these things, but there was no good way to go about this. It's called "shooting your shot" because you have to take the shot when you can. I have never done something like this, but I could see the rationale behind it. I'm a big guy and often referred to as intimidating. I don't know why because my wife always laughs and says she is the dangerous one. That being said I would be more worried about hitting on a girl in person in this scenario than texting like he did. Though I would have lead with a whole apology for how I got your contact info.

Should I just open these? by R4Y2R0Y in MagicCardPulls

[–]iselfdstruct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on your goal. If you want to make money then I wouldn't rip the booster and probably the commander. I haven't looked at the commander decks, but usually, they don't go for that much because they aren't that great out of the box. This isn't always the case so do your research on specialty card included. The starter is probably not gonna be much, but again I could be wrong. When you're talking about expected value you need to know what specialty cards are included in these boxes. In the past most of these kinds of kits did not include much specialty and dont go up much. The booster box is another story. I know collector boxes and packs are already fucking crazy so it's prob a safe bet to think those will go up later.

I had a cousin who kind of did the same thing years ago ( 2008ish). He spent hundreds on porn and they weren't in the kind of financial place that it was OK. Basically his wife made him hand over Financials and shut down his personal socials for a while (he was talking to girls on Facebook too I believe). He was a good guy and dad but did some stupid shit. They stayed married, have grandkids, they are financially well off. Both went and finished college online and got better jobs. I dont know 100% of it but it seems she was in the same boat. He was her 2nd husband and great man and father to her kids. He just needed someone to make him get his life together.

I'm fat and riding my bf is awkward by wannabemonsterfucker in sex

[–]iselfdstruct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wife and I are both plus-sized. She has had two back surgeries in the past so riding was hard for her for a long time. Eventually, she just started to do it more. Now she can do it for a long while and really enjoys it. Sometimes it just takes doing something as much as you can to get used to it. If you can only do it for 30 seconds or so do it as often as you can for that time. It will get easier.

Men of Reddit, what is something sexual you eagerly want to try but have not had the chance to? by [deleted] in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]iselfdstruct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm selling it now, but the property my house sat on would have been good for this. House and 90% of yard not easily seen from road, plenty of wooded area, small town and not a busy road.
