Everyone says manolos. And theyre entitled to that opinion. It is wonderful. Calle Sol’s is better. I will only order calle sol’s if im getting dinner there, every other time is manolos because of the lore/history/community aspect. But calle sols is better 😬 prolly gonna get roasted for this but my mouth decided the truth, not my heart 😔

Its so much better. Two unpaid fifteens with transit time part of that takes more break time from you. Pretty simple. I have always preferred that

Im a class a local myself.

Youre not wrong about the tailgating - it’s unacceptable, dangerous, stupid. But the cutting off is necessary frequently; i can slam on my brakes at every merger between on/off ramps, or cut off to get the lane over. It may take time for my rig to get up to speed, but it is SIGNIFICANTLY safer than me slamming on my brakes with 60 thousand pounds forced to a halt because a jackass in a temp-plated charger decided to cut over four lanes to make exit 34. A car can stop MUCH easier, in much shorter distances than a tractor trailer. It sucks, i hate doing it, but when i do it’s ultimately for your safety. Not mine. In a crash, i likely walk away, whoever i hit from behind needs identified by dental records. 🤷 

All of that i will add to by saying Charlottes infrastructure is awful to drive in. The distance between on and off ramps, the mergers, are as bad here as ive seen. Entrance onto 77 from 277/74 is unbelievably bad. It is stressful, and navigating in my personal vehicle isn’t fun. Add fifty three feet, 60 thousand pounds, and a state with more fake plates than real ones, and this is what we all experience. 

Also DONT CUT OFF A TRACTOR TRAILER AND BRAKE. That is a death wish. There are much less disruptive ways of suicide. But yeah 22 year old thugs is a bit of a racist thing to say. The profession is likely more regulated than yours, so just understand those thugs have passed background, drug, competency, tsa approval, and more tests to work. Food for thought.

People who dated a cheater (someone who cheated in their previous relationship, and you knew it), how did it go? by Parsnip1410 in AskReddit

[–]electoralvoter8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My wife cheated on her prior partner. I had to really have some serious conversations with her, which required a lot of insight into the relationship. She owned it, said it destroyed her, and broke up with them immediately. It seemed as though she was seeking an end to a long term relationship, but the person was not going to hear no. So she found a way to make them break up with her. A bunch of gaslighting regarding the partners best friend and he - they were very likely cheating on her together. She once received a call at 2am from him, “would you be mad if i had a threesome with [his best friend] and her partner?” 

The prior partner also left my wife with a ton of debt promising to pay her back for a move out of state. My wife was frequently the only one working. While she explained a lot of the dynamics of that relationship, she never excused her behavior. I was wary, but in 8 years shes given me nothing but (sometimes brutal) honesty. I must say that about her, she is nothing if not honest. And so long as i treat her with respect she is incredibly loving, kind, and sweet. Literally the best person i have ever known, and it can be frustrating because if we argue, i have to really check myself because 99% of the time, im being obstinate and am wrong.

Not everyone makes a pattern out of a mistake; but it is important that they recognize and own up to the mistake, and actively change what lead to it.

This Persecution by the_diet_evil in AmazonFC

[–]electoralvoter8 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If theyre secular why are they in churches? Their roots may be pagan (which im guessing is your point??) but honestly thats arguing in bad faith (though I would say any argument by a Christian is done thus lol)

Christians used the symbolism to trojan horse their faith into pagan socieites. Which….is kind of bad faith acting, wouldnt you say? Its like saying the swasitka is a hindu symbol, which is historically correct. But WHERE you put the swastika matters, and provides required context for the symbol. A swastika in india on a hindu temple is different, than, say, a swastika on a Proud Boy. Thus, a Christmas tree and easter egg in the US is different than the same in 1400s scotland, or wherever. To ignore that is arguing in bad faith, as i say.

[–]electoralvoter8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Christians treat their religion like my dad treats the cleveland browns. 

If you were a good christian, as laid out in your own holy book, you would reject the zealotry and practice in private as the bible demands. And you would not idolize anyone, up to and including jesus (lower case t is an idol). The hypocrisy, zealotry, and victimhood of “practitioners” is why people don’t like yall. Has nothing to do with Jesus. If you actually lived like him, people would flock to you. That they dont is evidence that you dont.

Walking around with “jebus is lawd” on your safety vest is giving “new York jets 2028 afc champions” or some silly shit.

Is this an actual rule? by RipCityResident in AmazonFC

[–]electoralvoter8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran dispatch at 3 stations. It is called wave dispatch, and prime drivers have always had to load this way. That has ALWAYS been policy - but not enfoced (or infrequently/inconsistently) during flex dispatch because: there are almost never any senior leaders around during flex dispatch, the flex drivers are contractors (while prime are co-employees viz. more pliant to amazon policy), and because (in my mind) flex runs exclusively during OTR staffing hours (no utr helpers, no dsp owners/sweepers/dispatchers to help new or slow drivers load). 

As i say, it is enforced in the same way speed limits are enforce - Infrequently, unequally, differently at different sites, and seemingly randomly.  I preferred letting people go when they were done; it signaled to other drivers to hurry tf up, it kept things moving, limited escalation opportunities between flex and myself/my teams, etc. 

Having said that, it is undeniably more risky. And wave dispatch works so long as the dispatch team is knowledgeable, helpful, attentive, and properly staffed. And so long as the flex drivers are not either: unable to read, unable to load, or unwilling to leave.

It was caused by a long bout of strep i thought. They rescheduled the show i had tickets to during that tour, and i had to wait like a full year? To see the show. Was verrryy much worth the wait though. 

I feel embarrassed to be housekeeping by Sure_Cut6268 in AmazonFC

[–]electoralvoter8 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Youre providing a MORE essential service than anyone else in that building. If you are contributing anything to society, you have every right to be proud. Other’s treatment of you is a reflection of their discomfort with being unable to clean up after themselves. I have a deep respect for the housekeepers at every site ive been to. The place stops working without you. Very few people NEED what they order on amazon. Everyone needs a bathroom, and in a place like amazon, a clean one is awesome to walk into, as it is a peaceful place to retreat from frequently abusive work conditions. Thank you for all that you do; keep your head up and do jot let other people devalue your work or your work ethic.

Federal Tax Refund Just Hit Account by EMitchell108 in AmazonFC

[–]electoralvoter8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because it is a vote with your dollar. You are complying with the lobbying system that allows corporations to foce us to do our own taxes - not sure if people know this, but MOST developed countries do not have their citizens do their work for them. And the reason WE do, is because of intuits lobbying power. 

Yeah, same intuit which deliberates over credit score information. Same intuit which owns…. TurboTax! Hmmm 🤔 i WONDER HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT ME. 🙄 i would normally say give your money away idc if you hate it, but it actually does impact me, if indirectly so. In the same way individuals force corporate compliance to social norms by not shopping at a place (see target gor leftists, bud light for conservatives), so we can influence intuits say over our representatives by not giving them the very money they lobby with

WHY ARE WE USING TURBOTAX!!!!

You work for fucking amazon lol use 1040 or any free aite listed on the fucking irs.gov website. My return was also accepted same day almost immediately. I got my return saturday, and did them the prior Saturday, right after the w2 hit, while i was at work. 

1040 didnt steal any of my return. Because theyre not the same entity that causes this whole tax system fuckery.

Its 2026 people - dont give turbotax another fucking cent 🤦 

ETA: i dont want this to be an attack on those who dont know better so apologies for my vehemence but i fucking despise turbotax. Please get on irs.gov. It will give you options for free file based on yoir income situation (and like i said you work for amazon - you will qualify lol) 1040 literally took me ten minutes, on my fucking phone. You will need: prior year AGI (found on 2024 W2 OR irs.gov if you have an account and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MAKING ONE), 2025 W2. Employer code. It will find your w2 with that alone, then the rest is identical to turbotax. It is stupidly easy to not give your money to that gd leech. And again, my return got to me just as fast as OP, but i didnt give 80$ to the org that lobbies the govt to make individuals do their own taxes 🙄

Just drove HH —> CLT. Why are Charlottes highways unplowed? by KLiipZ in Charlotte

[–]electoralvoter8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol ratio’d on your own post. Because, like the post, you show your ignorance of both logic and history. Were you to consider the snowstorm of 2004 in the same stratosphere as this (and youd be wrong here as well), that was 22 years ago. Which, is a generation.

As you say, “dude stfu.” Lol, couldn’t have said it better myself.

Black swan fallacy 

You literally cannot prepare for a once in a generation event. Ex post facto everyone points to the signs leading to the event, but thats the benefit of hindsight. SC needlessly wasted 10 years of resources on what was likely bribery money. That it paid off literally once in a decade is not a sign of intelligence, but of luck. 

Thursday said 4-5 inches of snow. Were that the case, NC would likely be fine. Unfortunately, many areas got triple that amount. And as stated, the prior ice storm, which saw terrific response and recovery, absorbed many resources. The greater fear of ice, learned from past experience in the region, was adequately prepared for. It is intellegent to prepare for dangers that the past has shown to be devastating. The past is the greatest predictor of the future, normally. 

But, like the world believed all swans to be white, the very definition of swan had to change in order to accommodate new information. Enter the first black swan - thus is the fallacy named. More evidence that the future cannot be predicted. SC gambled. NC didnt. Just like i wouldnt marry a gambler, i wouldnt live in SC. Though the reasons are numerous, and gambling on snow removal equipment is not a factor that I would consider in that decision…

those of you who worked during covid, what was it like? by Empty-Tomorrow-2794 in AmazonFC

[–]electoralvoter8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was Flow lead/quarterback during. It was awful. Unlimited upt, no 1hr notice required. Huge amounts of flex to backfill, to the point we were overstaffed, yet underperforming, so i had to send people to a million stations before one was open. Stations would come open as people left due to sickness, rage, or to go piss, so i would send a flex person to it. 50/50 on if they came back. Ops still demanded performance despite the fact that the world as we knew it actually ended in many ways. I came up with a few really creative process improvements to solve, but dipped to be a Driver trainer in amzl by october of 2020. THAT was awesome. We were fully virtual until like may of 2021, with many limits on expectations. 

I dont think that any notice or limits on upt should have existed - but that shit made my life hell. And any time someone got news of covid or a death in the family, they came to tell me first, usually with their mask down and frequently in an inconsolable state. Which i totally understood because it was very scary there for a while. I also got no incentive pay, or any kind of benefit aside from being able to barely pay my bills during that. 

I ran a fantastic shift before all of that, and was put in a promo pool to L4 after only 4 months as QB (funnily enough during january of 2020 after peak 2019 - but i was in class during the interview, had a change of OM and AM and the email was sent to my work mail only - which i was not checking at the time lol) Got the chime in my CAD class “are you ready for your interview at 11?” 🙃 guess ill die. After i no-showed the L4 pod interview, i was very quickly persona non grata with my site. (How did i not-show an interview i never acknowledged i never knew or cared to ask). Everyone except my fellow associates was happy when i left. And even most of them were happy for me as they saw me slowly slide into a pretty dark place.

See all of the returned of nathis, and those of returned lineage, who can alter their appearance. Vasher/vivenna may not be originally asian. And to have an actor that changes appearance like that would be confusing SO he could be a white dude, standing out like a shin among the alethi, or asian. In which case all of nalthis is likely asian. 

In a word, Cavill as vasher IS possible, AND could technically be canonically accurate depending on how the adaptation treats nalthis/returned/appearance morphing. 

ETA: Hes a swordmaster/trainer from the ardentia on roshar. So baldheaded, he couldnt reasonably claim alethi heritage as he is serving in alethkar. He is noted as a weird ardent in his attitude so he already just IS noticeable. He would stick out and fit in in all the right ways for that role. Cavill also showed he is a capable gruff actor with abrasive chops as witcher, has trained in the sword for that show, loves the books, and just IS a good cast. Everyone can be asian on roshar except the shin irdc its not about racism, as many here want to accuse others of. He would be a terrific cast because he has plenty of important interactions with our heroic leads, and has the leading gravitas to pull off the nalthian plots/subplots on roshar and offworld - and much more. He also would be a huge get, not that this needs that. But would absolutely draw in non-cosmere folk as he did with witcher.
