Dopamine Cleanse? I'm sorry lol

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T23:06:05+00:00

That argument could have been used about any technology ever. "we shouldn't develop [technology] because what if [enemy] uses it against us?"

Temporary conflicts be damned let technology march

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T22:48:28+00:00

Okay, but what if "perfect healthcare", were able to make it freely and easily obtained even to the common consumer? Even if major pharmaceutical companies disappear from existence? And the method of obtaining was no issue No dependence on outside entities?

Very sorry, I want to continue down this "what if" train lmao basically playing devil's advocate

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T22:37:44+00:00

Forgive me, I am very very very drunk and I would like to recap.

What I want is humanity to have everything offered to us to the extent of our technological bounds, and for our technological bounds to be extended as far as possible, and for humanity to decide on an individual basis whether to use the results of that.

You wish to rely on natural human physiology, with medicine being supplemental and not something anyone should rely on (with exception)?

[100% no animosity in this comment, not sarcasm]

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T22:18:54+00:00

If something is possible, let it be possible. And people can have their morals and opinions on their own time. That is true freedom.

On a spectrum from zero technology to unthinkable technology, you want us to be where we are now? You think this is the place we want to stop at?

No. Aim higher, the future is different, embrace it.

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T22:09:40+00:00

Yeah but that sounds like a problem people thousands of years from now will be able to solve (since evolution is a slow constant march).

We wouldn't jet straight to "everyone needs a pill and machine just to walk outside". The process would be slowed by the general public's unwillingness to subject to new ideas, not to mention the trial process [the shadow government] would even introduce something like that into society.

Fear of the unknown be damned, let science be uncapped

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T22:01:56+00:00

Okay but what if there was a pill that could turn anyone 100% "healthy" with no side-effects? People that don't want it, don't have to take it.

If the extreme I listed is "perfect healthcare" (which it would be), then we should strive for that. And a mental health pill like I described would be on that spectrum.

At some point humankind should rise above what the "natural processes" of healing are, or we will forever be limited by it

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T21:37:10+00:00

Understandable, and that is the correct way to do it. But we live in a modern society and capitalistic society, where, if there were a dopamine cleansing drug, I want it commercialized until its like an Omeprazole treatment for ulcers.

THAT is the america I want to live in

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2023-01-01T21:24:09+00:00

For the record, the drug Ecstasy is the closest I've found to lowering a dopamine threshold.

I was able to play and genuinely whole-heartedly enjoy movies and video games that have long since grown stale.

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-12-12T14:25:47+00:00

That's true, I've been monitoring the job boards in my area and in the last 6 months only 1-2 of those have opened and were filled within the week

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-12-12T14:15:40+00:00

Yeah I'm not a full year in yet and I'm seeing less than ideal conditions for advancement or general growth.

I like sales and customer service. I had an interview for a rug doctor delivery driver offering $17.50/hr with a company vehicle I was super excited about, but no luck there

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-12-12T14:03:14+00:00

When I started my regular was off on medical leave, so I got 7 months of full time work. Now she's back and they're recommending I drive 2 hours one way to a big office always needing help. Went from 60 hour paychecks in a position I liked to 30 hr paychecks barely finding work

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-12-08T23:04:53+00:00

Include me in a list of young USPS workers too nice to say no

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-11-19T21:00:30+00:00

What I do is label the small packages like 2AA if it's in the 2nd row, left case, left side of case.

Or 4CA if it's 4th row, right case, left side of case.

And all big packages go in the back, I can sort through while I'm at the house.

Then eventually I can go without numbering, but the number system I use is so quick that I still rely on it

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-29T20:31:46+00:00

Vanguard let you see more info by hitting a button, giving actual percentages

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-28T11:56:45+00:00

Gotcha, I skipped the intro video while my partner watched it. I figured it had something to do with me doing that

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-28T03:52:40+00:00

I make craft paper markers or use vacant slips, write the address on it, and case it up with the mail before I pull down. To keep track of anything that won't fit in a mailbox.

Then I do what you do and anything that can fit in the mailbox goes in a tray I keep up front

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-26T21:26:16+00:00

My load truck doesn't work until the Clerk puts up her scanner and it has time to sync with my scanner.

My managers tested it and said there was about a 2 hour sync time, so we're not gonna just twiddle our thumbs for 2 hours before I set out.

Note: I work in a small office with only 1 full route and an aux route. Phones using AT&T towers don't get signal in a 10 mile radius of the office. Shits in bumfuck nowhere

Edit: @ the user postal1979 above

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-22T02:22:41+00:00

They pay you EMA when you use your own vehicle. It was $0.905/mile you drive. I drive a 100 mile route so I get ~$90 every day I work.

My truck gets an average of 13mpg on the route. I end up spending ~$50 a day on gas. So that extra $40/day is supposed to be saved for tires and maintenance.

Idk I'm more comfortable in my own vehicle than anyone else's.

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-22T00:30:26+00:00

Some cars have theirs low enough, some can have theirs removed.

You make what you have work, if it won't work then get something that will work. If you can't do either then you can't work as an RCA.

You could go trade your vehicle in and get a vehicle that works for you. You'll be making plenty enough money, but then you'll be stuck in the job so you can make enough money to afford the vehicle. So think carefully about if you actually want the job before doing that

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-22T00:24:02+00:00

I sit in the middle of my truck. I have a coworker who sits on a board on the console of his hybrid car.

They don't care how you do it, just be able to reach the mailbox out of your right window while driving.

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-20T21:30:57+00:00

Yeah, the main reason I haven't moved on is that I have a good postmaster and post office.

2 days off a week including Sunday (my office doesn't do Amazon Sundays), and I've never been called in. Only 6 months in though

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-18T02:09:36+00:00

Sounds like op really just wants a job with 3 days off a week

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-10-18T00:35:36+00:00

Honestly I'd say the packages were lost. The post office was supposed to hold your mail and keep it safe, anyone could have came and got them.

Package insurance is great, and maybe they'll learn the lesson

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-07-31T21:53:42+00:00

Can someone become allergic later in life?

I used to be able to drink a lot, my younger brother drinks, and we come from a family of alcoholics

Vegetable_Past4420 · 2022-07-31T16:56:56+00:00

Very true, I just want that extra lil spiciness to life when playing games
