Will they ever win another Popular Vote In Your Opinion? Remember: they have not won one since 2004.

No, unless something happen that makes the dem voters feel like there is no point to voting, and we see a record number of voters who would normally vote stay at home.

Honestly with how much the GOP has cheated to take over the Supreme Court, gerrymander, and use scumbag tactics to win, we may come to a point where there's no point to voting because the odds are stacked against us.

I hope that doesn't become the case.

I've been doing my own hardcore research into the housing market as well as tracking house prices on a micro level...aka i check realtor.com almost daily and monitor prices, inventory, etc in a specific city i want to move to, and pretty much everything he said is accurate.

House prices lag behind interest rates by a few months. Prices we see now are reflecting interest rates from a few months ago.

Housing is a large component of the inflation calculation. For inflation to come down, house prices must come down. If they don't then interest rates keep going up.

There's some other factors like the fact that everyone refinanced when rates were super low a year ago, so supply will be down. No one is gonna sell a house that they're paying 3% on and move to a new house where they'll have to pay 6%.

my wife and I are in the market to buy a house, and we found one that we like that went on the market for $450k which is top of our budget a few weeks ago. We declined to make an offer because there are things we would need to do to make it what we really want.

its still on the market and a week ago they reduced it 25k to $425k. Im still not comfortable with this price.

we actually just asked our real estate agent for comps for the 2019 year so we can gauge what the price of housing in that area was before pandemic, so we can assess if the house value will continue to drop. Im still kinda worried about putting in an offer, even if we lowballed them

do you think housing prices will lower to what they were before pandemic, or will they maybe even go lower than that? I dont want to buy and then end up underwater

But you pay for a year, right? So if you don't re-up for a year right before the e-shop shuts down, at most you'll probably only be able to get a year right? Or can you buy multiple years worth of subscriptions at a time?

Are the 3DS online servers being shut down anytime soon?

No, not in the current games. That's why you will need Home to store any of the Pokemon you got from previous gens. And I think Bank shuts down this year or next year so you have to transfer any of them from Bank to Home or lose them

The difference is that, unlike a waitress, there's absolutely nothing the driver can do.

Is a food item missing? Most restaurants are tying or otherwise sealing their bags, and drivers are explicitly not allowed to open the bags to check them on pickup. It's meant to prevent tampering, theft, contamination, etc. Sucks, but other than reading the receipt there's basically nothing that the driver is allowed to do. They will get immediately deactivated if a customer reports their food bag was opened.

Wrong order? Sucks, and the driver should be dinged, but there's absolutely no point in sending the driver back to pick up an order that 1) was already marked as picked up on the restaurant's side, and thus thrown away, or 2) cold as hell in the best case.

I do not hold anything against the driver regarding the order being wrong. That's not their fault, I generally hold the restaurant accountable for that.

DarkBuster22904 posted...
Delivered to the wrong place? Again, shit move and the driver should be punished. But the driver isn't going to go back and get it. Especially since there's a decently hight chance whoever it was left with now has it, and probably won't just give it back. That's a potentially dangerous confrontation waiting to happen.

I get that it sucks, but after the delivery is done, there's basically nothing more a driver can or should do. It's down to the app's support to make it right. Unless you just want to yell at the driver. Which is exactly why they don't take communication after delivery.

And in cases like these, the driver is at fault if delivered to the wrong address (barring any outstanding situations where the person's house number was wrong or instructions they gave didn't make sense or something), and they should not be able to keep the tip they received or get a 5 star review.

Yeah I've learned to report anything missing even the smallest thing.
I ordered five guys before and all tbe burgers were pretty much wrong toppings or had no bacon or cheese when they were supposed to.
There was no options for no bacon, so i just said i never got the bacon cheeseburger like i ordered lol. No idea how they couldve gotten those so wrong.

One time I ordered something from a local joint on Grubhub, which was a Cheeseburger. But when I went into the options to choose toppings, cheese was listed separately as an additional add-on. Checking it off would mean I paid like a dollar more. So I assumed that meant extra cheese, since I was literally in the "Cheeseburger" menu item (there was deliberately a separate menu item for Hamburger), and I didn't check off the selection for cheese. When I got the burger it didn't have any cheese at all. I got the whole thing refunded lol, I was so mad

In this case if it were to happen, did the person get their food and get a full refund from doordash? Maybe it was on purpose to get feee food lol

The Subway already got their money from doordash so what happens if an order doesnt get picked up?

I don't know the answer to this but maybe somewhat related, I generally report anything to Door Dash that is wrong with my order to get a refund. If there is a side missing, if ingredients were missing, etc. I'll generally report that and get the money back for it. I don't abuse it and I don't report anything that's untrue.

One time I asked for a side of a sauce on an order, and found that there was not an extra side sauce, so I reported it and got a little bit of a refund. Then I realized that I had entered wrong into the app and had inadvertently requested the extra sauce to be added to the entree (rather than being in a side cup), and didn't realize they had done that. So I hopped on DoorDash support to tell them I made an error and that they could take the credits back, and that I didn't want the restaurant to get any negative feedback or get charged from DoorDash or something. And the support person let me keep the credits and said not to worry, the restaurant won't be penalized

Basically, users will offer a $20+ tip. It rings through to the driver as a well paying offer, so it immediately gets snapped up. Then after it's delivered, the user has an hour to just zero out the tip and be on their way. And no, it's not for bad service, just scumbags being scumbags.

I agree there should be things in place to prevent abuse. Whether that's a DD person needing to approve it based on comments, or some other system, drivers shouldn't be at risk of being stiffed due to assholes.

If I walk in a restaurant and the worker tells me straight up that they are still working on the order then I will put "still waiting at the restaurant" and the app will track that. However, it's pretty easy for me to get trolled by the restaurant and waste 5-10 minutes.

Ok, so? In this case, you still haven't marked your status as heading to the customer. So I don't know how that anecdote would change anything I said.
