UPS has always been hit or miss at best in my experience, but of the three, I’ll concede that it’s the least garbage. The other two have delivered packages to the wrong house—not as in like, “next door” wrong house, but as in “some house miles away” wrong house—or they sometimes just flat out don’t deliver a package and return it to the sender. If they do deliver a package, it’s rarely on time.

As for USPS, nowadays, my wife has tracked packages to see that they are brought to our local mail sorting facility, but then for some bizarre, inexplicable reason, they’re sent off elsewhere, even to another state, before being delivered here days later than the estimated delivery date. I have no idea what the hell is happening, but it’s insane and insanely stupid. And I know who is to blame, at least with this service anyway.

Wasn’t he just an enlisted PR stooge?

They’re all shit too. Fat lot of good privatization would do. USPS was Cool and Good until DeJoy was dropped in to throw wrenches into the cogs.

Hanlon’s razor has been really tricky for the last decade; on one hand, yeah, he’s a cruel, malignant tinpot hell-bent on wrecking everything for personal gain but on the other hand, we’ve all heard the guy talk, right?

It’s Final Destination 1488, coming to theaters not any time soon

Actually genuinely surprised at this, even more so that it’s a bipartisan bill, even more more so that they’re paying attention to polling.

I fully expect it to go nowhere.

Unrelated [saw it in a link], Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio Governor?! Christ, no.

I fully expect him to win. Sorry, been a doomer for months now.

When someone asks me what I do, I list hobbies. I’m not my job.

Any plane the President is on board is designated Air Force One. I know you’re half joking, but

I got a text from the dealership that sold me my car asking if I’m interested in a new car. I’m not anyway, but I responded that I’m not going to buy anything from them as these dumbass tariffs are coming. Too bad, so sad, I bet they voted for this shit too.

They drove me away with those tactics before I ever saw they were on YouTube. No, Donald Trump was not EVISCERATED by a tweet that he -couldn’t- -didn’t- couldn’t read, kick rocks with that dumb Avenatti hashtag resist horseshit

He cares. It’s all [self-]image. He doesn’t care whether they care or not, it’s a blow to his ego. It’s the Hindenburg.

I imagine these people in ICE have their dream jobs, they’re just not getting as much done as they want Those nuclear weapons inspectors who were fired, on the other hand, yeah

I think that has crossed the minds of a lot of people in the last several months, mine included

Yep, that’s p much what they’re doing with’m They’re not nearly as delicious tho

I want to lose my paunch, but only because I want to be here longer for my wife and kid, and to fight these people if it should ever come down to it.

To be fair, my wife wants the same, for herself. I fully support her going all Sarah Connor because we need to buckle the hell in.

And getting together and going “ew girls” over Captain Marvel and other good looking women in tight fitting superhero spandex, in between praising how swole Joe Rogan is looking. These are things that make them feel like manly men.

This is the part that’s absolutely wild to me, next to the notion that it’s “gay” for a man to want to please his partner during sex. More and more often now my wife tells me how lucky she is, not just for that, but moreover because I actually love her and see her as my partner rather than treat her like the help. Man, I almost lost her because I took her for granted, not out of malice—because I believed I was doing the right thing—but just out of thoughtlessness, and I cannot let that happen again. She makes me want to be a better person, for her, for our daughter, for the people, and it’s not out of some weird sense of religious patriarchy, it’s for its own sake. I am what I am due in no small part to her, and that’s the way it should be.

These hogs are seriously, alarmingly losing the plot over what it is to be masculine, and then shoving some twisted version of “gender” into traits and other concepts where it does not belong, full stop. There is a dangerous lack of understanding here.

I assumed all that bullshit jargon was astrology for dumbass bros but this is an intriguing take that now I fully support

Serious about wanting to start WWIII by annexing a sovereign nation, he means.

Perhaps Trump will try to calm people by calling it, say, a “connection”?

De facto, not de jure. Not that any such jure matters anymore, but you get my drift.

Reminder: Usha Vance clerked for Kavanaugh and Roberts. While she doesn’t deserve to be the target of racial abuse, she does not likely take issue with such language being used more broadly.

On the other hand, she didn’t vote Republican until doing so for her husband in the 2022 primary in Ohio, so she is a land of contrasts, likely being on whatever side gives her power or access to it. She is, at best, undergoing some cognitive dissonance (though we haven’t seen any such evidence thus far), but she is no victim.
