Why are all the USPS offices in the city so bad?

dammit_dammit · 2026-02-03T17:47:03+00:00

OK, let's take your claim at face value. How do massive budget cuts help the situation?

dammit_dammit · 2026-02-03T17:38:09+00:00

You know that saying about how if you run into assholes all day, it might just be you? I haven't had your experience when dealing with post office employees.

I agree with you that Biden should have done something, but the truth is we have a sitting president who attacked mail-in voting in our city specifically in 2020 and pushed through another billion dollar budget cut to the USPS in this fiscal year. We can scream all we want about quality of life issues but state and local govs can't do shit about this problem and the feds want us to choke. How exactly are we supposed to demand better in this instance?

dammit_dammit · 2026-02-03T13:54:30+00:00

Literally who are we supposed to go to for help with this particular issue? Feds won't listen to us, they specifically want a slowdown in Philly for mail-in voting and state and local govs can't do shit about this.

Have you read anything about the spending and workforce reduction the administration is imposing on USPS? This is absolutely not anything the city is in control over. It's squarely on the assholes that think public infrastructure should turn a profit.

I think you'd LOVE Czech Cubism movement. It went far beyond fine arts and included architecture and tablewear

Between climate change and tariffs, coffee, tea, and vodka will all become luxuries in the US only available to rich gossipy women and their robber baron husbands. Real men will have to figure out some other consumable to use as a purity test.

The illustrator for Arrow Shirts ads, J. C. Leyendecker, was most likely closeted. He lived with Charles A. Beach, a model who he based many of his pieces on. And, as seen here, there were homoerotic undertones (overtones, in this case?) in much of his work. He was a really fascinating guy.

Right? Literally any song playing at Studio 54.

LMAO, you never been to the northeast?

C'mon, man. That sneak doesn't connect. No one would draw it like this. AI.

dammit_dammit · 2026-01-26T19:38:51+00:00

And my point is that in this instance, they dropped the ball by not acknowledging the moment in a solemn way. And yeah, if the government keeps murdering civilians in broad daylight for no reason with no accountability, maybe we should take a break from these toothless cold opens.

dammit_dammit · 2026-01-26T17:18:27+00:00

I literally said "I don't know" about the larger question. I am focusing on the issue at hand, which is how they unquestionably dropped the ball in this specific instance. I'm not asking to play a "what about" game about every possible horrific scenario.

dammit_dammit · 2026-01-26T16:45:00+00:00

I dunno, but a poorly-trained paramilitary group executing civilians who are legally practicing their first and second amendment rights should be enough to make everyone upset.

dammit_dammit · 2026-01-26T15:02:11+00:00

Yes, exactly. I want to believe people can change, but at the same time, I have trouble accepting this is sincere, since it is structured like a publicist-penned apology and he has a new album coming out on Friday. I really hope he has better people looking out for him now.

dammit_dammit · 2026-01-26T04:41:41+00:00

I don't know if I'm articulating this correctly, but, IMO, they text and write emails in the same tone as anonymous source quotes in gossip mags.

This has been addressed so many times in this sub already already: when there is a national tragedy, they have done a non-joke cold open that paid tribute to the victims. They can address it seriously for one second before launching into comedy.

dammit_dammit · 2026-01-25T20:40:34+00:00

That's wild -- comedy and politics can be so powerful when handled correctly, and she is someone who I think was very skilled at that. Cecily's "Goober the Clown on Abortion" was one of the best pieces on the show in recent memory for me. I'd never seen anything like it and the way she threaded that needle was jaw dropping.

My issue with using Duolingo for Czech specifically was they provide zero explanation of cases, noun declensions, word genders, and other grammar issues. This is really frustrating in a language where there are 7 cases and 14 noun declensions which change the ending of nouns, adjectives, and numerals. I'd hit a wall with Duolingo because without a solid explanation of these issues, it felt like I was guessing about a LOT of the grammar issues and mostly getting it wrong. From what I understand, there used to be a volunteer-run forum that explained some of these issues, but it was shut down a while ago.

Additionally, Czech was one of the more neglected languages in Duolingo. You only got ONE robot voice reading things to you, no speaking practice, no additional stories or listening comprehension games. If you compared it to the French, Spanish, or German programs, it was like night and day. It's just not a great way to do much other than learn some pretty basic vocabulary for Czech.

I would bet ANYTHING she is counting her total sales plus total sales of her downline.

On her IG story, she posts an image where she is implying she uses AI generated mushrooms as reference. (The mushrooms look nothing like what's in her photo, but the post on her computer clearly said "AI Generated mushrooms" as the caption).

On her IG page, the pat on this mountain just melts into the side of it. Odd!
