In this case, I'm still lucky! It's enough for a statistically significant portion of the species to try it out and draw conclusions, I'll unravel other mysteries:)))

Reminds me of when I tried MDMA. Everybody in the group was trippin' hard, the others were zipping around incessantly, talking non-stop, and slowly getting naked. I was having the time of my life sitting quietly at the computer and assembling a playlist for 6 hours. Everybody was worried that I was bored, or feeling sick, I didn't know how else I could explain that I was enjoying myself.

Well, I don't use sun block, and I'm still depressed! How do you explain that, Mr. President!

On the flipside, I still remember several of my former high-school classmates singing it in unison, with full awareness of significance and full intent of expression. Yes, high-school. And we were, basically, a buncha' nobodies from a small town. This thought gives me some measure of hope that maybe they haven't lost that drive, and I'm sure this wasn't a unique occurrence.

Like, seriously! Now?! What the fuck tipped them off?!

[-] latenightnoir 4 points 12 hours ago

No. And I may have just learnt the value of allowing some things to remain a mystery.

This rattled me in ways I didn't know I could be rattled. I'm not trying to shit on anyone's tastes, I'm in no position to judge, but... sweet Jesus...

Maaan, so I could've been doing the same thing, but while being Dutch?! Dammit, mom!

You can say "sorry, I don't have chargers for Apple stuff."

"Can I use your wall socke..."

"None of them are for Apple stuff, either, sorry."

Eeeewww! I have never seen anything tackier in my entire life, and I'm Balkan!

Oh, yes! I sure do miss that community made up of ass kissers and people who are just as miserable as I am! Or those 2-3 chill people with whom I meet for a chat weekly anyway, outside work hours because I sure as hell ain't in the mood for socialising while I'm wasting (at least) a third of my day and life doing busiwork for someone else!

Was rummaging through the attic (periodic backup & clean-up) and found this.

So, I placed an order last Wednesday, same country different city, it cost a not insignificant sum of money. Package only started moving on Thursday, although the shop had handed it over to the courier service the day prior.

Friday rolls in, delivery failed - package is supposedly too large for a delivery box, redirected to courier. I don't understand why the person delivering it to the box couldn't have called me, there's literally a locker bank every couple of blocks now, would've taken anyone tied to this one no more than 5 minutes to get to it. I get that it's a policy thing, I just don't understand why it's a policy in the first place. What-the-fuck-ever.

No show until today, Tuesday, status still unchanged, even though on Saturday I received a different order I had placed on Friday, through the same courier service. I didn't even request or pay for weekend delivery.

Call customer support, get picked up after 35-40 minutes of waiting. The package hasn't even been shifted from their box delivery depot to their courier delivery depot. In almost a week.

So now my options are as follows:

  • wait and trust that they'll "expedite the transfer process and will do everything they can to get it to me as fast as possible"

  • head to the depot myself, which is situated in a different town, by:
    a. taking the train, which'll be 3 hours total
    b. taking a bus, which'll be 3 hours total
    c. making puppy eyes at a cab driver and paying a fifth of my order's value (rough estimate) on the fare, and be back in 1.5 - 2 hours

They advertise delivery as overnight as long as it's in-country.

And this is all because they've cut back on their staff, in addition to continuing to underpay them. We have, like 5 different courier services in this country and they all suck donkey balls. The Post Office is now catching up in terms of efficiency, and they haven't changed since Communism was still a thing around here.

Digital sources for these people are slim to none, so here's the full album instead of the one track I wanted to post! S'good!

Edit: for no reason whatsoever I'll say that track was Pekin Pekin.
