My monthly rent costs more than a new car did in 1936. Tell me again how buying a Frappuccino every 3 months is putting me in debt.

Boomers: When I was your age, I had 3 cars, a fully paid off house in the suburbs, and my own boat I used for deep sea fishing every weekend. You just need to learn to budget better; that phone in your pocket costs the same as 3 months' rent [in the 80s].
Millennials and Gen Z: My car needs repaired, but my rent has just increased again. I'm paying $500 more for the same shitty one bedroom I've been in since before covid. Gas and groceries keep getting more expensive. I haven't been to Starbucks in months, but every Boomer on the internet says I'm living above my means just by paying $35 a month for a prepaid burner phone.

Someone added an amazing new addition to one of my mail stops over the weekend.
An old grandfather clock got a second life as a little free library.
Bonus: Someone added some Xbox games to the selection.

Is that really the reason? That's crazy. I was thinking it was because the second plane was for her crew; they fly ahead and get things set up before she even arrives. But just having a backup plane so you don't have to wait? Crazy.

A debate I had on Reddit about abortion rights.
The person I'm arguing with is an active participant of the Mensa subreddit, so they already fancy themselves a genius to some extent.
Me:
No arms, no legs, no heart, no brain. Just a blood vessel pumping blood from the host to the clump of cells.
And the "But there's a heartbeat" excuse is a lie. You're only hearing the host's blood pumping into cells cause the heart isn't fully formed until 10 weeks. Additionally, the brain isn't even fully developed until 24 weeks. No heart organ, no brain, it's not a viable life outside its host body.
Them:
Yeah that's an empirical argument to deny ontology. That's not convincing to anyone who thinks there is an essence to being human that isn't tied to having arms and legs.
Me:
I'm sorry, but are you trying to use philosophy to argue whether or not someone is capable of living without a heart, brain, and lungs?
Them:
How do you determine what is human and what is not? Arms and legs? What do you call someone without arms and legs? Or a mechanic heart? You can't answer the question 'what is human' based on physical qualities only. So yes, logically you cannot answer the question without philosophy.
Me:
I think you are confusing personhood with the human species.
A person is someone who can think, breathe, and exist on their own. They have a personality and their own opinions on subjects like abortion.
A human being or homo sapiens is a species on earth that evolved enough to form social groups and cultures and, therefore, are capable of personhood. Some other more complex animals might be capable of personhood, like Koko the Gorilla. She was intelligent, learned to communicate using sign language, and even had her own pet.
I'm not discussing this subject in terms of personhood. A fetus isn't developed enough to form a sense of personhood if it can't even survive on its own at 2 months gestation.
Them:
I'm talking about the essence of what makes one a living human. As long as pregnant women before the 3rd month believe they're carrying a child, which is all of them who want to *keep* the child, I am not appealed by the argument that it's suddenly no longer a child but rather a fetus for biological/scientific/empirical reasons when there are various financial and social advantages of it being so.
The points you mention are even still different from mine.
Me:
>The points you mention are even still different from mine.
Correct because again, you fail to see the point of the argument.
You yourself say;
>As long as pregnant women before the 3rd month believe they're carrying a child, which is all of them who want to *keep* the child,
That's all fine and dandy cause it's her *choice* to do so, not yours and not the government's. But it's not yours or anyone else's place to force your philosophical or religious views on an entire nation and bully us all into following them by making your opinions a law.
Them:
It's a choice to recognise a human as a human, you're saying? So where's the end to that travesty of logic? A cat is a dog, a man is a woman, that dog is a man and that man is a dog. That's a wild world you're living in. I don't see the world that way, it defeats both logic and common sense. But it surely makes a way to justify doing whatever the hell you like doing. I won't force morality on you, but I'll tell you when it's absent.
Me:
Again, you're trying to use philosophy to argue science, and that gets us nowhere. I already stated I'm not talking from a philosophical standpoint.
You can see the world however you want. Your morals aren't always going to line up with your neighbors morals. Your neighbor might think it's immoral to eat any kind of meat. Are you gonna give up that steak dinner cause they can smell it in their living room? How would you feel if the entire government decided eating meat is a crime and, therefore, it's banned and you go to jail just for eating a hamburger. Kinda sucks when other people force their philosophy and religion on you by passing laws to get their way.
Now I know you're gonna be like, "But you can't compare pregnancies to diets!" But you're already equating philosophy with science. So, let me give you another scenario.
Do you like eggs? Eggs are just undeveloped chickens who were denied the ability to develop and hatch. Will you give up your eggs and bacon just because your vegan neighbor says it's immoral?
Since to you personhood and human are one and the same. Say aliens decide to visit earth; they have arms and legs and a brain, can speak, express emotions, and have their own culture. Are they human? Do we give them the same rights as you and me even though they weren't born on earth and are basically invading our planet? Or are they just displaying personhood?
If you say yes, they are human and deserve the same rights as you and me, then you also need to give those same rights to the "illegal aliens" that cross the border.
Why are undeveloped fetuses given more rights to life than families with children who are trying to seek a better life? Why do we value a fetus over the actual baby? Once it's born, if the mother says she needs help, she's scorned and looked down on for asking for WIC, foodstamps, and cash benefits to help feed and cloth her baby. She should have thought of that before deciding to have a baby, right? But if she decides she's unable to afford a baby, and she can't afford to take time off because the pregnancy is making it hard for her to work, she's called a murderer for seeking an abortion.
To pro-life advocates, a fetus is more important before it's born than after it's born. And you won't convince me otherwise. The same people pushing for abortion bans, banning mifepristone (a drug that's also necessary to help with incomplete miscarriages), and even simple birth control are the same people who vote to cut funding to welfare programs, free lunch programs, and to entire school districts. That's not very pro-life of them now, is it?
-------
They gave up the argument after that.
I could have converted this into a rant solely from my perspective, but I felt it would be better just to copy it as a script.
Pro-lifers are not actually pro-life. They are just anti-women and anti-choice. If they actually cared about the fetus, they would care about it after its born by passing laws and regulations that would ensure the child has the best quality of life possible and every chance to succeed. Instead, time and again, they vote against those laws.
They don't care about the fetus once it's born. Why is that? Could it be that their true goal all along is to force women back into submission because they romanticize the bygone era of the 1800s and early 1900s when women didn't hold jobs, didn't vote, and couldn't do anything without their husband's explicit permission?
I dunno, that's just the vibe I get from the anti-choice supporters. Why else would they say things like, "Stop riding dick if you can't take accountability." But then start foaming at the mouth when you remind them accountability goes both ways. When's the last time they made a child support payment?

Last week, I posted about going to the urgent care after an injury happened on the job.
The package that broke open and dropped its contents onto my foot had no labels marking the package as being heavy. It was merely a flimsy thin box with a couple of strips of tape and some plastic straps to hold it all together. I'm not sure what the steel parts were for, but I'm guessing either boat or car parts.
Here are some pics of the healing process.
30 minutes after the injury.
Two days later
Today.
Now, a week later, the bruising is starting to fade. But it feels like the pain isn't getting any better. It almost seems worse. Walking can be difficult, and the slightest touch induces searing pain. But the urgent care doctor said nothing was broken. It's just a deep contusion.
Please, for the love of all that is good, properly pack your packages before shipping them and label them appropriately. Little things like that can make all the difference in keeping the mail running efficiently. An injured carrier is going to be slowed down. They might not be able to carry as much or walk as fast, and that's if they are able to work at all following an injury. If they can't work, their replacement isn't going to know that route as well. It will take longer to complete the route, and they will be prone to more mistakes.
So, if you like your mail delivered accurately and on time, then take the extra time to properly pack, seal, and label what you ship. Thanks.

Three weeks ago I got a new-used car. A 2020 Kia Sportage with less than 40k miles on it.
I was told I needed three references who were not related to me and who did not live with me. So, I gave them some good references; an ex co-worker, an ex boss, and a current boss. At least I felt they were good; none of them lived with me or had family ties to me.
Since I had to travel three hours to the dealership where the car was at, I made sure the insurance was taken care of and paid for before going to pick up the car. Everything else was handled over the phone or via text so that all I had to do was go there, sign some papers, and hand over a check for the down payment.
So, I secure transportation out to the dealership. I go in, shake hands, sign papers, and hand over the down payment. I'm given the keys to my new car, and I drive it the 3 hours home.
Today, three weeks later, I'm at work when I start receiving calls and texts from the dealership. Apparently, the bank now says my references aren't good enough because now they are saying my references can not have the same address. They all have to live separately. Two of my references happen to be married, but they don't live with me and aren't related to me, so why does that matter?
I'm frustrated cause now I have to look through my contacts for people I can use as a reference. And why? I was already approved for the car, or I wouldn't have been able to drive away with it. The dealership even put a GPS tracker in the car at the bank's request.
But now, 3 weeks later, they take issue with my references? All cause two are married to each other. I guess in the bank world, married couples don't live together, and people don't have roommates.
What are they gonna do though, repossess my car before the first payment is even due?

Dear Customers,
If you're shipping steel blocks in a paper thin box with only two pieces of tape to hold it all together; I hate you.
I'm currently sitting in the urgent care waiting on an x-ray because someone thought it would be a good idea to use a flimsy box no thicker than a sheet of paper to ship a bunch of steel blocks. To top it off, they decided that all it needed was two pieces of tape and a couple of thin plastic straps to hold it all together... while shipping it all the way to fucking Alaska!
So, of course, by the time it got to me and I went to pick it up, the steel blocks no longer wanted to stay in their box anymore. Instead, they had torn a hole in the bottom and fell out onto my foot.
So yeah, if your packaging choice is shittier than a reused and decaying Amazon box, I hate you.
That is all.
Note: I typed this up when I was at the urgent care. Nothing is broken. My foot is just badly bruised and hurts like hell.
