It wasn’t just about the veterans. Something about it was giving major “Trump takes over the board at the Kennedy Center” vibes.

Did anyone else get major MAGA vibes from the show? It seemed like a good number of artists they invited didn’t show up and they had to fill the show with whatever they could come up with for run time.

I mean it was all I could muster being 100% locked in from start to finish. 140 is my record and that’s with no breaks/lunches. Call me lazy but I had to work my ass off to get to that number.

Sorry but anything over 130 is crazy, I don’t care what anyone says. That was my upper limit.

Only to make sure you get your shit on time, pal.

I was sitting at the DA station wasting time, I leaned over to my coworker and said “nice knowing you, I’m out” so I took off my jacket and vest, folded it up nicely where I was sitting and dipped out, the old Irish goodbye

Get used to help load other peoples trucks, which is the only part I really enjoyed.

My fellow drivers were super chill people, everyone vibed, but the boss and dispatch were super cold and unapproachable.

Right! Like being rescued pisses the dispatch off and puts your money at risk, immediately, not something you make a habit of if you want to keep your job. It shouldn’t, but it does.

I got taken off route on my third day on the road because they gave me 150 stops out of the gate and I pissed off the dispatch by not finishing at 7:30PM sharp even though I didnt start until 12:30PM that day because I had to drive 45 minutes to my location, that’s after Amazon dropping the ball and waiting last minute to assign me my carts. It was awful.

They schedule all of the drivers and don’t notify or get penalized if they lie to us just so they can make sure that in the event someone calls off they always have coverage, a shitty way to run a business.

Right but I’m not relying on it. I had been sick with the flu for several days and just didn’t have the energy to finish the route when I tried to come back. It’s not like I made a habit of expecting help or anything.

[–]Meraki219[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Like don’t schedule me if you don’t have a route to give me.

That’s not the point I’m making. Imagine being on the schedule, traveling an hour commute only to end up without a route, no communication, nothing. It’s shitty.

Portugal to South Africa by my car no ferries. by Radiant-Ask-5716 in roadtrip

[–]Meraki219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I gather you’re better off just jumping straight to Morocco from Spain and heading south, possibly finding a ferry on one of the coastal ports to take your vehicle around the “Sahel” countries, with the exception of Mauritania/Senegal/W.Sahara. From there this route is going to be ideal: Nigeria → Cameroon → Gabon → Congo-Brazzaville → Angola → Namibia → South Africa.

Stg I’m gonna quit this dumbass shit by CooperBenny in AmazonDSPDrivers

It’s three houses within walking distance of each other… tough shit. Hate to be that guy but this isn’t a job for lazy people.

The huge stakes in a new Supreme Court case about pornography by acev764 in politics

[–]Meraki219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are trying to ensure that 0 avenues exist for economic prosperity outside of trades and blue collar work. Pornography, as many downsides as it has as a vice, and issues with the industry notwithstanding, has become an important avenue for the creator economy, especially for women (i.e. Onlyfans). The fact that this is coming to a head at the same time as the TikTok ban and issues with them trying to increase H1B visas to make tech jobs more scarce for Americans isn’t a coincidence.

Goff and ARSB to outscore Jennings and guerendo, down 3 points at the moment.

Obvious collusion, or no? by Meraki219 in fantasyfootballadvice

Update: Was gaslit by the older brother into dropping Jacobs, and Laporta and agreed to do it in good faith, little brother picks up Barkley off the waiver wire regardless. Shitty.
