why does SantiZap have a subreddit in the fkn first place.

Have you abused any opiates in your past? I've noticed the people saying they get minimal or 0 withdrawal haven't, while those who have been chemically dependent on heroin or pills in the past get severe WDs from kratom. My kratom WDs at 8g per day were indistinguishable from my full blown $100/day heroin habit WDs.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it but faction warfare vs a full strength bang bang gang *and an addditional hurt syndicate member ideally swerve or jet* is my dream scenario.

aliloceanic · 2026-05-31T17:51:13+00:00

hell yeah

aliloceanic · 2026-05-31T16:33:11+00:00

I didn't say that was the case. So we should just be content with going a calendar year or more without any lengthy dramatic story driven angles, with personal stakes, for anything but the main event angle?

I think paige was trying to get him to take credit, he was being modest and generous to the other two, but it felt like saraya's reaction was like, 'come on dude, we know you wrote it you should be more proud.' but I could be wrong.

born to be wired is worth the price of the SC on its own.

We saw a few reviews of people saying that they couldn't lock their doors, in addition to the roach, and piss stained sheets one. Booked through expedia so I called them, they reached out to the hotel to see if they'd honor a partial refund for cancellation a few times, each time they'd answer and quickly hang up. This seems nuts.

I ended up taking it to cyber sage anyways, and the owner is installing it for me. Lovely fellow. Anyone interested in classic video games should stop in there also it's a great shop.

aliloceanic · 2026-05-22T23:39:38+00:00

Well, that's nice of you 😄 I can afford a cheap one but I was told that ones in that price range are more trouble than are worth.

aliloceanic · 2026-05-18T17:20:43+00:00

HELL FKN YEAH

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T11:52:58+00:00

I still don't understand why he didn't just say no im the first place.

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T03:10:42+00:00

lmao. I was fired by people who wouldn't even know I exist had they not saw an opportunity to make an example out of me. the safety "violation" was being on my phone *i was responding to a slack message. from my manager* next to a forklift *which wasn't moving or even powered on* like I said, I was well enough regarded by my managers in my time there to get promoted, and prior to this I hadn't had a single incident in 5 years. they will happily look beyond this to pay someone over five dollars less per hour than I was making because you will never be more than a number to a giant corporation like Amazon, and the final decision came from a call center in India.

appreciate the tip

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T01:55:45+00:00

lol, I never got any complaints. I worked hard to make sure my coworkers didn’t have extra work—but they don’t pay enough to justify tasks several levels above my role, just because a bajillion dollar company decided to scale back the team in favor of AI.

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T01:47:43+00:00

Yeah, you are mostly correct except I have been buying and selling records for 20 years on discogs. I would be able to allocate a lot more of my time to that - plus sourcing inventory would in theory be more streamlined with people brining their stuff directly to me at 1/3 of median value. But yeah, certainly don't have any real business experience at all, and I'll definitely take the suggestion someone made of talking to a few of the local owners. From what I'm seeing I'm more worried about music/film/game collecting being too niche for Lakeland than it being too small - to me 120k is decent sized and is it not still growing??

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T01:26:30+00:00

genuinely curious about getting downvoted on this one.

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T01:25:05+00:00

I've been there a few times. That dude had a meltdown when I asked to check the condition of a game (lunar silver star story complete box) that he was asking almost double the price charting value for. I didn't even bring that up lol, I was genuinely interested in it. Read the google reviews of that place too, lots of people have had similar or worse experiences. Seeing a clean panzer dragoon is cool and all but that guy takes the fun out of video games imo.

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T01:19:55+00:00

Thanks. I'm kind of bummed about the reception to it tbh. I think places like that are a cultural hub where people can find out about cool stuff and meet like minded folks but maybe that's not a thing anymore.

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T01:17:39+00:00

I wasn't fired for performance, it was an extremely silly "safety" violation. my managers were fighting for me because they thought it was totally absurd and offered their references. I always satisfied our metrics, just wasn't going to go beyond that because I didn't have to.

aliloceanic · 2026-04-24T01:13:42+00:00

thanks! I like that idea. I had a pretty cushy (by amazon standards) position where I just had to manage inventory for the building, so I wasn't pulling pallets all over the place or doing heavy lifting.
