As a former dasher myself, dashers are expecting that because it needs to be worth the time, cost of gas, and wear and tear on their car to even do the order.
Doordash only pays around $2.50 per order. If it's a really bad one (long distance, a slow restaurant that takes up a lot of time, long driving distance) DoorDash might add a dollar or two to get someone to take it. If your food is cold, it's probably because no one wanted to take your order because it wasn't worth it, so you have to wait until a driver who doesn't understand that they're spending more money than they're making takes a bad order. Sometimes the restaurant is slow or says an order is ready when it isn't. The "tip" is pretty much the whole pay for the order. And if the tip is really good, sometimes DoorDash takes part of it without telling anyone.
Also, DoorDash doesn't always show you the whole tip amount. There's a note that says "the actual tip may be higher." Usually it's not, but they leave that "maybe" in there to bait you into acceptimg orders that cost more to deliver than you earn.
There are definitely some shitty drivers. But a lot of people don't have a choice but to do gig jobs. People with disabilities who need to have flexible schedules because they don't qualify for disability assistance and they can't commit to a schedule because of random symptom flare ups. People with criminal records. People with social anxiety. Minorities. People learning English.
DoorDash is to blame here, not the drivers. They need to call it something other than a "tip." The suggested "tip" amount should be based on the driving distance, not a percentage of the order cost. And they should pay drivers more out of the "service fees" they get for sitting back doing nothing and letting the app print money for them.
I unfortunately live in Florida. Florida Power and Light took over, and everyone hates it. People are getting power bills for thousands of dollars. They sent out a newsletter right after the takeover saying that prices would go up temporarily and then be lower than they were before. Still waiting for that price drop. I try to tell the MAGAs that FPL is one of DeSantis's major campaign contributors, but the most reasonable reply I got is "well it would probably be even worse if the democrats were doing it." I'm so tired of everything.
The Florida State Surgeon General, Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, has urged a pause in the use of Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, citing concerns about nucleic acid contaminants. In a letter to the FDA and CDC, he specifically pointed to the presence of Simian Virus 40 (SV40) promoter/enhancer DNA in these vaccines, raising worries about potential risks associated with DNA integration into human cells. Dr. Ladapo emphasized that the FDA has not provided evidence of conducting assessments on these risks, as recommended in their own 2007 guidelines. He underscores the unique and heightened risk of DNA integration, stating that if not assessed, mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may not be suitable for human use. The Surgeon General encourages healthcare providers to prioritize non-mRNA COVID-19 vaccines and treatment. Dr. Ladapo commits to ongoing research assessment, emphasizing transparency and scientific integrity in providing updates to the public.
Fun fact: When I briefly worked in a funeral home, I learned that dead people just chilling on a table will sometimes look like they're breathing. I'm not talking about actual movement, like fluids settling in the body or anything like that. It's a sort of optical illusion. I guess the brain is used to seeing people breathing so it fills in the blanks. I experienced this illusion myself and so did others working there.
I feel like they did it on purpose for the attention. Otherwise what would a "memorable edge" be? A screenshot of a website? They knew what they were doing.
Have you ever tried Wim Hof breathing techniques? I also have ADHD and I have a really hard time with meditation but it works for me.
It also sounds like it could be possible that this is at least partially an issue with your body chemistry. There are so so many little things that can affect the brain, like maybe a medication or any other drugs you might take, a food you're not fully aware that you're a bit allergic to, inflammation, a malfunctioning brain chemistry such as an anxiety disorder, etc.
Here's a link to the Wim Hof video if you're interested. Just be aware that people get weirdly cultish about him, and I'm not sure I would follow everything he recommends, but this particular exercise helps my anxiety a lot.
He always looks like the "pompous buffoon" character in a Jane Austen novel who looks at the main character and says "I shall have her! She will learn to love me!" before she marries the one who doesn't...act like that.
Hey guys, did you know that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that's not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won't mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.
Can you tell us a bit more about your experience? Like how you felt before, your experience with the mushrooms, and how you feel now? I have been struggling with depression and ADHD forever and I feel like I've tried everything.

Let's blame the right people here.
