re: UPS to cut 20,000 jobs on likely lower Amazon shipments
Posted by bluestem75 on 4/29/25 at 4:10 pm
Weird. I prefer UPS to other services. They’ve always been fine with me. Hate hearing how bad things are on the inside.
FedEx Office locations are always slow and the employees never seem happy to be there. Maybe that’s just Dallas. Idk.
I loathe USPS. They’re just terrible.

It’s petty, but it’ll just reveal how much of the crap they sell is made in China.
re: Andor Season 2 Discussion (New Episodes 8pm Tuesdays)
Posted by bluestem75 on 4/28/25 at 4:15 pm
I liked these episodes for foundation laying for the rest of the season.
Thought the whole “undocumented” bs was way too obvious but the actors executed it well so it did t take me out too much.
Genevieve O’Reilly is the standout so far. These first three episodes were hers. So cool to learn about another system and their culture without it being ridiculous exposition.
Definitely want more Krennick.

It’s great if you can stomach its pedophilic overtones.
Emma Stone’s character has sex with a man in front of his two elementary aged sons.
The fact that Hollywood lauded this film with awards just further demonstrates how bankrupt it is morally.

Pocketing taxpayer money or campaign donations and using them to spend on a lavish lifestyle, no matter what it is, is a felony.
Pretty sure these are worse than what Santos did.

Mine is back to less than $1k down from its high, but that’s a normal fluctuation.

Weaponized anonymous reporting needs to be done away with.
At my Company, you are told the exact instance and behavior of a complaint even if they can’t reveal who said it. If it’s a 1:1 accusation, there is no assumption of privacy or anonymity. I’ve seen way too many leaders abuse anonymous complaints to get rid of or harass employees they don’t like.

This guy is weird AF, but…
Seriously? That’s child’s play in comparison to what goes on in DC. The rest of Congress clutched their pearls and did everything they could to oust this guy from the get-go. The way the DC establishment snobs looked down their noses at him was bizarre; they targeted him before he even stepped in the Beltway. Such hypocrites.

Michael is the worst. He didn’t have to kill to get what he wanted. They never told him to kill anyone.

Congrats! More people need to hear what you went through to become a citizen. We really look at making the process cheaper and easier.

Note: she specifically avoids mentioning the actual recruiting numbers under Biden. It’s always projection with them.
If you’re diabetic, you can’t serve. Why? You’d become a burden to your unit if you were cut off from your medication.
If you’re epileptic, you can’t serve. Why? Having a seizure during any patrol or operation would put your unit at risk,
If you have Crohn’s Disease, you can’t serve. Why? Having a GI attack while being cut off from your very expensive injectable medication would cause distress to your unit.
See the pattern here?
If you’re trans, you have to have access to your hormones or your body will begin to revert to its base which can cause issues that would make you a burden to your unit.
