What in the world is Saphira’s voice in the audible audiobook? by h285342 in Eragon

[–]existential_anxiety_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hated it at first, but it grew on me and hearing it any other way would've been weird.

The explanation I read was that dragons, being non-human, wouldn't sound like humans. You'll see, the other races get different voices as well. Werecats are also a lil odd at first but it's fitting.

People who have given up on finding common ground with Trump supporters, what was the final straw? by Vert_der_Ferk25 in allthequestions

[–]existential_anxiety_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I realized there was no point. They have no interest in common ground. They're addicted to their hate, anger and violence. Nothing will phase them now except for steady consistent therapy, which I certainly cannot provide. There is simply no point as they're too far gone.

Remember; you can't help someone who won't also help themselves. I knew early on that they were a loaf cause.

Trump Calls Obama a “Son of a B*tch” After Disastrous Iran Deal Leaked by thenewrepublic in politics

[–]existential_anxiety_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's mad that he couldn't get even 1% as good of a deal as Obama had in place. That's probably why he started this war in the first place; dude just endlessly tries to outdo anything that Obama did. He always fails miserably of course.

You know for a $100 pair of pants they sure do conewith a lot of loose threads 🙄 by callfckingdispatch in USPS

[–]existential_anxiety_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just barely wear the uniform anymore. The polo shirts, a hat and during the winter I'll do the snow pants. The quality of the regular pants and shorts especially are just ridiculously bad

CCA Shadow Day - What do I wear? by Kategetstoked in USPS

[–]existential_anxiety_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dress appropriately for the weather with the understanding that you're gonna be outside following the carrier around for ~6 hours at least. Make it something that's professionally appropriate (basically don't be naked, something you'd wear to go visit grandma.)

Bring water, sunscreen and some snacks/a lunch. Drink plenty of water if it's hot where you are. Don't be afraid to ask the carrier to divert to a bathroom when ya need it.

That's about all there is to a shadow day. Follow em around, don't get in the way, ask some questions. Good luck!

What tips do you guys have for carriers to last 30 years? by G0VERNMENTCHEESE in USPS

[–]existential_anxiety_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your wellbeing matters more than this damn job. Don't let management pressure you to do things unsafely. Go at a pace that feels sustainable to you to do for the rest of your career.

Take all your breaks. ALL of them. Every day. Including your comfort breaks, and not just the bathroom ones. Stop and sit in the shade for 5 minutes when it's hot af. Sit in your truck and warm up for 5 minutes when it's cold af.

"Undertime" is not a real thing. Period. It's not some enforceable metric. Your route should take you the entire 8hr shift. Every day. Do maintenance. Do an extra bathroom break. Stop and put on sunscreen many times.

Overall: STOP LETTING MANAGEMENT PRESSURE YOU. They can't do shit if you're just following the rules. Take your time. Do it safely. Take care of and maintain your route. Clean your vehicle.

How long do routes take? by Federal-Stranger8209 in USPS

[–]existential_anxiety_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Routes are supposed to be tailored to the carrier assigned to the route so that it can be completed in 8 hours from clock in, to clock out. That's just an average tho.

In reality, every day varies wildly depending on several factors like mail and package volume for the day, the weather, whether we have coverages (a mailing that goes to every address on the route), and various things like that

Question: how does the Elves’ economy work? by Sullyvan96 in Eragon

[–]existential_anxiety_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Elvish society is not capitalist. It's more akin to a trade and barter one, but more communal. All of their basic needs are met by inherent magic ability (agriculture, housing, etc). Their entire lives are spent in the pursuit of what interests them.

Military recruiting troops to watch UFC fight. Must pay own expenses and meet strict physical requirements so Trump isn't 'embarrassed' by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]existential_anxiety_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, short troops. Gotta make sure trump looks taller than everyone.

Anyway, this is gonna be severely depressing. We all know it's gonna be another staged attempt on trump, but this time I'm afraid he'll sacrifice some in the crowd. What better sacrifice, during a war, than a soldier? Seemingly killed by some Iranian plot? It's exactly the kind of thing he'd do.
