I ordered some masks from that MediDent place that’s been advertising on the forums. I ordered them last week, and they were supposed to arrive yesterday, but they’re not here yet and I’m starting to wonder if some funny poo poo is up.

The last thing on the tracking info says that they departed a “USPS Regional Facility” 2 days ago (almost 3 days ago now) at 5:29 AM, and there hasn’t been an update since. And that facility is only like 2 hours away from here.

What the gently caress is going on? Where are my masks? Did some USPS fucker steal them?

I can only buy the “COVID is loving up our delivery times” excuse for so long.

USPS has become a poo poo show due to increased Covid related shopping causing them to have to gig economy half their poo poo. I had a package say it was delivered every day for three days in a row before a guy in a Jetta full of packages dropped it off.

Insight into the income of tenants is absolutely my business, it's one of the first things you're supposed to screen for when choosing who to rent to; their credit and their job history and income stability. Between my previous knowledge, general street smarts, and the excuses volunteered to me, I can pretty accurately deduce which tenants aren't paying because they actually lost their income, and which aren't paying because there's no disincentive for them to just pocket it instead. Do I know for a fact? Nope, and that's why I'm not gonna like come out and accuse them or anything, but I mean come on. Some of them are obviously going for it and I don't blame them.


I agree 100%. My rental income is my livelihood though as it is for many, so it's befuddling to me that the government hasn't given small time landlords any consideration. I know it's not fashionable to own land on SA which is why I try not to bring it up but people were wondering why I had to go into Home Depot and I guess I segued into griping about it, my bad.

It must be so weird to base your income off of preying on people trying to fulfill the very bottom level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs.

Not necessarily directed at that landlord goon, but in general. How do you do that without on some level being a sociopath?

I wonder how many people will take the pandemic more seriously given Herman Cain's death, especially given his public and reckless behavior around the issue. 2 or 3?

Seems like the true believers already jumped on the "no way to prove he got it at the rally!" bandwagon, which, mutatis mutandis, is basically never not true.

It "really grinds my gears" (as the kids say these days) when there's a huge-rear end line (properly distanced) and the people still take forever to make up their minds when they get to the place of food-ordering.

Like: it's a goddamn bagel shop: you should have a loving idea what kind of bagel you want and what you want on it before you even decide to *go* (hence the decision: "I think I'll go to the bagel shop!" which you have, perforce, already made) much less by the time you get through the line.

Even the drive thru is like this. I mean really, I have an idea of what I want (Baconator), but then I get there and see the spicy chicken sandwich, it takes about half a second to realize that I'd rather have the Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It's not that hard, but every loving time there's someone at the ordering screen who's there for 10 loving minutes.

I flew on monday across the US for work and went with hat, wrap around safety glasses and a kn95 with some cut up topstick(double sided sticky tape) lining the edges to get a complete seal. Also respirators are only for filtering air on the way in I believe, so take that as you will.

As a landlord you really need to know the income/type of contracts they work under or self employed of potential tenants. Nothing creepy about that.

Think how much worse it is to see that level of stupidity when you are a genius, like me.

Observing the few republicans that I know well, it's one or a combination of:

1. They're stupid.
2. They're an rear end in a top hat.
3. They're a conspiracy theorist. I draw a distinction between this and #1 because a lot of these people are literally mentally ill, not necessarily stupid (most of them are stupid).
4. They're so brainwashed by decades of Fox news that they're not even really aware of what's happening around them. It may be that you can't be a 4 without also being a 1 or a 2 but I'll concede that it's at least possible.
