What on ****in earth

i have a package being shipped. It started in Chicago, it's was then flown to Orlando for handoff to USPS for delivery.
...

Pretty sure DeJoy is ****ing with holiday packages to sabotage the postal service. How he's still in charge floors me.


I had similar last week. Ordered something from eBay:

11/28 Package Received - Monmouth, IL (2 hr 45 min away)
11/29 Package Processed - Champaign, IL (2 hr 15 min away)
11/29 Package Processed - Chicago Regional Hub (45 min away)
11/29 Package Processed - Aurora, IL (15 min away)
11/30 Package Processed - Wilmington, DE (12 hrs away)
12/1 Package Processed - Philadelphia, PA (13 hrs away)
12/2 Package Processed - Chicago, IL (45 min away)
12/3 Package Processed - Aurora, IL (15 min away)
12/4 Package out for delivery.

USPS is just a *ing mess these days. Bad working conditions, overstressed systems, old broken equipment, I’m not surprised by any of it.

I wish there was a smaller clip of just that part but I love this scene:

Sort of makes you long for the days where it was an efficient, tightly organized ship, and all delays were the result of Republicans manipulating it?

I had a FedEx package come from North Carolina recently. Left there ok and made it's way to North Salt Lake which is usually the last stop before it comes to the local hub to be put on the truck for delivery. But then it went to Tacoma, WA after that apparently due to an unreadable bar code. It got corrected, then came back to North Salt Lake and made it's way to me. Only a few days later than initial so not bad. What gets me is why it had to go to Tacoma for the new bar code. And then when it arrived, the new bar code sticker was on there, but so was the old. The old had absolutely no scratches or blemishes or anything. Looked totally fine. The address on the label was correct and everything to. SO unless somehow the bar code was scanning as an incorrect address even with the correct address on the label (?) it really doesn't make sense to me

How convenient that you forgot DeJoy is still running the ship.

if you draw a line from Chicago to Orlando, it's almost a perfect 180 degrees away from GDO.

I ordered this on 11/23, shipped yesterday finally, and now it's probably going to be driven from ****in Orlando to St Paul. I swear to god....

It was flown to St Paul today.

[St. Clown]

It’ll be in Milwaukee tomorrow.

Don't lose hope. Someday the Democrats may hold both the White House and the Senate, and all of these problems will be solved.

Don't lose hope. Someday the Democrats may hold both the White House and the Senate, and all of these problems will be solved.

And you don't lose hope. Your party may manage to end democracy.

Generative AI has absolutely taken over AITA on reddit. I know 95%+ stories previously were just creative writing exercises or karma farming, but they've since become even more repetitive and ridiculous, to the point that half the stories are not that far off from something like: "My husband beats me, but I didn't cook him dinner. AITA?" Also, people pretending to be college students in the US but using terms like "going to uni" and "doing the needful" are way too common.

Sad, because it used to be an entertaining way to kill 10 minutes.

2023 is the KT boundary for the internet. Anything posted after 2023 is useless.

[St. Clown]

I has confuse.

[dxmnkd316]

I has confuse.

Generative AI produces content that seems correct, often with sources real or fabricated, and it was released into the wild before we knew the damage.

It was a meteor that could potentially destroy our ability to use the internet to seek information. Like the KT boundary, 2023 is basically a line in the archaeological record of the internet anbove which easily verified information no longer exists.
