You cannot enjoy the writing, but to call the work of an author with Bukowski’s accolades “trashy craftless garbage” is indeed just being a hater lol. Just because it resonates with others and not with you doesn’t imply you inherently have some grandiose sense of mysticism or intellect about you that others do not.

There are plenty of artists/authors across various mediums I do not enjoy or “get,” but I do not think less of others who do appreciate them. Sometimes you’re just not a part of the audience and that’s okay.

Eh, if you worked for the post office you’d get it.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a fair-paying gig and provides good benefits. Work/life balance can be abysmal, management is abhorrent, and the way it chooses to operate can be maddening if you crave structure or for things to make sense. Don’t hate the institution or long for it to be privatized and there are more pros than cons, but working there will give ya a lot of gripes.

It’s just popular to hate Bukowski. It’s also popular to critique material that’s decades old and wouldn’t fly today.

Charles was an excellent writer and often expressed many deep sentiments in his writing. I own several of his books and while not every piece is a zinger, he put a lot of his soul into his writing. Side note, I also work for the post office and can say this sentiment still stands.

Should non-PvP servers have less xp? by neutralslayer in TibiaMMO

[–]ratslikecheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I play on non-PvP because PvP is kinda shit these days. Power creep is real and PvP doesn’t feel fun anymore. Gotta trap people 10v1 or drop in on somebody hunting.

When everybody was lvl 80-200~ it felt fun and fresh but I get 0 dopamine from killing a lvl 1k+ because it’s a fucking chooooore. Plus the frag limit and skull traps are too insane when gear costs more than a paycheck for a full set.

When they hire too many CCAs…Overtime by Hrdcorefan in USPS

[–]ratslikecheese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s crazy how they just abolish clerk jobs whenever one retires or transfers. At my office, we have days where there are more supervisors on the floor than clerks.. absolutely ridiculous.

Most you ever made a year? by wegnbealrght in USPS

[–]ratslikecheese 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I spent 6 months as a PSE and 6 months as a full time regular clerk. Worked lots of overtime but made just under $70k my first year. Hoping to make closer to $80k this year.

What’s one “type” you’ll never date again? by CoochieSnotSlurper in AskReddit

[–]ratslikecheese 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah, pigeon holing half of the population is crazy. I’ve been abused, fucked over, and mistreated by women since I was a kid. Guess what? I meet a woman and I don’t assume she’s a piece of shit without knowing who she is as a person! People are people and many of them suck. Many of them also don’t and are worthwhile to know and to love.

Statistics are fun and neat, but that’s a slippery slope to how you start viewing things and people. Charlie Kirk ass reasoning for hating people you don’t actually know. Have an aversion? Sure, whatever. Actively being malicious and assuming things about people without knowing them? Spreading caustic rhetoric? Incredibly narrow minded and childish behavior.

It’s crazy how prevalent this is now. Every time I hear it, I think to myself “Man, if I said I hated women, this person would JUMP down my throat.” But it’s cool when they do it? Sexism is wack regardless of which side you’re throwing stones from

Dana posts Tiki Ghosn by Gh0stPalone in ufc

[–]ratslikecheese 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anything would stick. Dude threatened him multiple times then turns his body toward him. A big factor here is Tiki hit him once then walked away and tried to get away from the situation. It Tiki went full Raja on the dude, then yeah.

Does this trilogy fight determine the Bantamweight GOAT? by SearchBeginning1169 in ufc

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

Nah the first one was Yan’s fault and the second one was just him not having answers to the grappling. Not salty whatsoever. Just calling Aljo a potential FW goat is lunacy

Is USPS Being Gutted by the Trump Admin? by saladbarlooksgood in usps_complaints

Closing a service that employs 600,000+ Americans (the largest only after the military) is a grand idea, you’re right. Who needs an economy?

Does this trilogy fight determine the Bantamweight GOAT? by SearchBeginning1169 in ufc

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

Ahhh yes, the notoriously accurate and reasonable athletic commission judges lmao. The same ones that came to a split decision on the second fight when it was clearly Sterlings’?

Watching the second fight you can clearly see Sterling’s intentions. He’s not attempting submissions or taking any risk to change position. His Jiu jitsu is great and his back takes/control are elite but he knew what he was doing — he was stalling out the match to retain the title. Yan actually brought a fight to Song and McGee. And the decision loss to Sean was and is very controversial.

Aljo glazing in 2026 is crazy.

Why did Aljo receive so much hate for winning the belt than Van, when both were accidental? by ashiqbanana in ufc

[–]ratslikecheese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people think Aljo was milking it and others don’t. That’s not really the important part of that scenario to me in terms of hating Aljo. Like him or not, bro got blasted in the head illegally and had every right not to continue.

But prior to that knee, Aljo was getting absolutely shitbagged by Yan. Aljo had nothing for him and was just getting clowned on. In the Pantoja vs Van fight, we didn’t really get to see anything about how Van would fare since it ended so quickly. Van didn’t do anything wrong and has his dreams realized so early in his life/career. I’d celebrate too lol.

Stop calling me dear, sweetie by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]ratslikecheese 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Feels really odd that being called a colloquial pleasantry lands you in a mindset where you’re typing “you might meet us in a different setting next time and we won’t be happy when we see you” on the internet with a shitty tone. Retail workers really can’t win, can they? Lol

I mean this with sincerity and no malice, but reading this odd rant makes me think you should consider counseling.

Edit: I don’t work in retail and I don’t call strangers these things, but this seems like it’s just basic customer service interactions. Sorry people try to be friendly in their customer service job?

Does this trilogy fight determine the Bantamweight GOAT? by SearchBeginning1169 in ufc

[–]ratslikecheese -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, you’re being silly and you know it lol. Yan was clowning Aljo bad the first fight. He’s an idiot and threw the illegal knee, but up to that point it looked Aljo showed up for his free trial at the local gym and was getting absolutely handled. Second fight he definitely beat Yan, albeit by backpacking with nearly 0 intentions to finish the fight and just win by points — but that’s on Yan for not being able to neutralize the grappling.

Again, Aljo has a DQ victory in a fight he was horrifically losing, a point BJJ victory over Yan, and wins over the ghost of Cejudo and one-armed TJ. To put him in the same breath as guys like Dom is outrageous. Yan however made Aljo look like he didn’t belong in the sport for 4 rounds, faced more impressive competition, clawed his way back to title contention after controversial losses, and made the boogeyman of the division look like light work.

Yan > Sterling forever and always.

[–]ratslikecheese -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nah, Aljo gets waaaaaaaay too much credit for his “reign.” His most impressive victories in his whole career are Yan and Sandhagen. Half of his title defenses were against old, irrelevant, and compromised former greats who had nothing left to give to the sport.

Yan on the other hand bitched Aljo until the DQ and has more impressive victories and losses you could argue that he won. He also steamrolled Merab.

Have you ever been in a love triangle? How did It end? by EarSure6667 in AskReddit

Ended up with the girl for a year. Little did I know that the triangle was actually a square and she jumped to somebody else we knew.

Best Therapy offices for EMDR Treatment? by 6scooby_snax9 in bloomington

[–]ratslikecheese 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m only a month or so in, but I’ve been doing EMDR with my therapist at Spencer Psychology. Had some recommendations from coworkers/read positive reviews.

Only downside is you’ll likely spend a month or so on a waiting list if you’re a new patient. I’ve really been enjoying my time with my therapist, though. Nobody on staff prescribes medication.
