  • I would say that I’m a good enough person.

    I do the things that good people do because it feels like the right thing to do, up until the point where I feel like I’m risking overextending myself and then I stop doing that.

    I feel bad when I do not do a good thing.

    At the same time I know I have done bad things. I have accepted my fault in those situations and apologized to the people that I have hurt in the past and I am still trying to become a better person. So I am good enough to pass for a good person, but I am not an objectively purely good person.

    But then again, no one is.






  • It’s probably easier to get UPS to pay than it is to get USPS to pay.

    I recently shipped a $3,500 laptop across country through USPS and they just fucking lost it.

    I had actually paid the extra for the insurance, so I filed a loss package claim, and they tried to offer me $50, and demanded that I show proof that the package that I sent to them that they lost was actually worth $3,500. They wanted receipts, they wanted pictures, they wanted everything to prove that that’s what it was.

    Like, I paid them. I want to say $35 for the insurance (out of the company budget, it wasn’t my personal cash), and they wanted to put me through the ringer to actually live up to their side of the agreement.

    Fortunately, after I filed the claim, they magically found the $3,500 laptop and then sent it on its way, but i- we literally paid for next day shipping, and it was not even next month when it finally arrived.

    So needless to say, anytime we are shipping packages, we are using UPS because it’s going to be a hell of a lot easier to deal with them. And so far, they’ve never let us down.




  • You can’t manifest a Lamborghini.

    But you can live with the mentality that you will own a Lamborghini one day and it will be a nice one and it will be a good one and you will find the way to make it happen, and more likely than not, you will succeed.

    But it’s probably not going to just fall into your lap. It will be the consequence of believing that you can do it and then acting in accordance with the idea that you can do it and therefore doing the things that you have to do in order to make it happen.

    True story, I once got a barks root beer and the cashier decided to put it in a paper bag like it was a real beer and while I was walking home because I lived like four blocks away from the gas station, a cop pulled me over and he was like, “what you got in the bag boy?” And I responded, “it’s a beer”. And he said, “why the fuck you drinking a beer walking down the street” and I’m like, “cause it’s a root beer!” and he got mad at me and drove off.

    And it was one of those stupid things that people do, not even a funny story, but the picture reminded me of it, but it was extra stupid because I was a brown teenager in the deep south.
