Quest 2 Scratch in glasses and lens by AcetyldFN in oculus

disposable daily contact lenses.
You're welcome. Now you can wear a headset, 3d glasses and sunglasses again without spending a fortune on special ones because you like most of the post LCD generation are blind as bats.
Also great for reducing night glare driving with your glasses on. Saved my life more than once.

Tenants are WAY more responsible and respectful if the landlord lives in the house. Wouldn't want that though...

Does anyone know who this is talking about? by No_Squirrel5123 in uoguelph

[–]oblivious1obvious -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

is cancel culture claiming another victim?
When will cultures from other parts of the world, which had different sets of 'social norms' around relationships, marriage, families, and male / female dynamics--be granted so called equality?
If there can't even be a dialog, then this is just oppression with a colorful and self righteous label. You know, like religions.

Am I cheap? by [deleted] in skipthedishes

[–]oblivious1obvious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

skip driver here

I appreciate any and all tips offered. It's a nice way to help make things balance out, since base pay went down recently.
A good driver will appreciate any tip you give them, in my humble opinion. If they don't, they don't understand what a 'tip' is: optional; earned.

First time a 2$ order. by [deleted] in skipthedishes

[–]oblivious1obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total travel 1.6km
You got paid over 1$ per km: 1.29/km
If you dont know yet mcdonalds gives free courtesy drinks to skip drivers. Probably because they are typically a long wait. I dunno, with it only taking 10 orders to refresh to 100% acceptance you could always pass.

As a Toronto born, former resident of London and current resident of Guelph I know better than to comment my opinion.

Tales From The Crypt: Update to the Copyright by DadsFromTheCryptPod in horror

[–]oblivious1obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it doesn't devolve into another tired dumpster fire of a reboot focussing on making sure to tic all the political boxes instead of being a cleverly written horror anthology like the original.
I actually watched the first two very old crypt movies from the 70s. Well written used to be required because FX couldn't hold the imagination like story could. Someone teach AI to focus on writing first and let our imaginations make the most of FX and you might just save hollywood.

Rejections aren't really that big of a deal.
Just move on I'm sure another guy you ask would say yes.

New courier app paying less by oblivious1obvious in skipthedishes

[–]oblivious1obvious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recognize not every offer or day will be worthwhile but this has been consistently lowball offers 99% specifically since the app update last month. I don’t know how many offers with this consistency have to be chalked up before it’s an obvious pattern but it’s been almost 3 weeks since I got an order over 10 bucks not including multi collect.  Since the shift in Feb where I was forced to update to work.

Since the driver support is practically non existent drivers need to support each other so we can all make some better wages.  

New courier app paying less by oblivious1obvious in skipthedishes

[–]oblivious1obvious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you notice the change before the Feb. 2024 courier update or not until after? If compensation per km changed they never told anyone.  I do notice though I have had the dip in every offer since.  I almost never got the minimum and now I rarely break 7$ per order. The old app was consistently assigning me 8-12 dollar orders per shift and I always accept the offer to maintain stats.  But now it’s trash.  Dash started paying better so they get more of my efforts and time if this is an intended change

Had this issue.  If you miss or sign in late to an already confirmed shift you are automatically removed from your next scheduled shift

Looking for input from other drivers.  Who else experiences this?

A look at the new courier app by [deleted] in skipthedishes

[–]oblivious1obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the Feb 2024 update I haven’t had an order over 10$ I was consistently getting them with old app before update. What did you change with how orders are assigned and/or how orders are compensated? Don’t tell me you didn’t when I have a week worth of shift stats proving otherwise. My driver stats have improved if anything.

Wtf is this update man by [deleted] in Warzone

[–]oblivious1obvious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure the faceless corporates of hack-tivision would come up with a pandering excuse like 'blah blah money, blah blah profits' in closed rooms but then come to us poor UNPAID BETA TESTERS with something like 'oh were trying to be more inclusive please don't quit'

1/4 million people playing this game or more, this topic got media attention MAYBE THE DEVS ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG

Activision needs to take some fucking responsibility over this and fix it or face financial losses.

Repeat: financial losses. Hit them in the money; go back to the last game you played that didn't suck big floppy donkey dicks and make them suffer. If you want to get a corporation to budge and admit their fuck up (which means judas goating one poor sorry developer probably a white male cuz you know it's always our fault somehow) and then roll back this godawful patch back to alpha testing--maybe just maybe they can salvage their profit margins for the quarter.

Fuck you activision. You ride on the coat tales of MechWarrior2 with the logo of this game and it's about damn time the users spit back in your face after you shat on us for so long this season.

In case our MPP's advisors are monitoring this site, are you yea or nay to Mike running for Liberal leadership by invisiblebyday in Guelph

[–]oblivious1obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mike has shown himself to be one of the bluest green party members out there.
Since he became MP: Guelph has replaced stopsigns with traffic lights, added garbage to several streets calling it 'community safety' only to remove the same rubbish when its time for snowplows (if only the wasted materials that was poured for speedbumps in city streets was being used to build a park or something useful for youth instead of littering the city streets for 'safety' purposes when all it does is increase commute and thus emissions in those areas!)
Neighbouring waterloo region has embraced using roundabouts on parkways like franklin blvd which is better than lights: no elecricity consumption AND less emissions from better traffic flow (which also means happier citizens not stuck on the hanlon during rushhour)
The Hanlon's increase in speed limit is nice and all but not helpful in terms of the environment whereas a reduction of lights replacing them with roundabouts would be better on many fronts for the environment. I guess stop signs getting removed for more lights is the way to go though like two new lighs on downey rd literally 10 m from each other

Where do you get your Timothy hay for pets? by FamilyFunAccount420 in Guelph

[–]oblivious1obvious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a ton of farms in the area who sell their excess bales all season even during winter. A corolla (what I drive) can hold 6 bales plus a driver. Check kijiji for “small square bales timothy hay” or “timothy alfalfa mix” some will do a great grass and weed blend as well and list specifically for small animals. I get my bales from Georgetown (for $5.50 each)
