Haha, i never served and this is just a job. It just happens to be one that i feel has some contribution to democracy and i try to hold on to that.

Thanks, though, if this isn’t meant in jest.

Yeah, there’s a lot a that here, too. But the way or post works is that no tax money goes to support it. It’s fully supported by the customers that use it.

Even when the post office turns a profit, congress will take that money and/or downsize the labor force.

I work for the USPS. We took an oath to the constitution and it’s very easy to understand why. The Postal Service is a necessary component of democracy as long as it remains true to what its supposed to be, which is a pipeline of information between any two points in the world. We can debate the legitimacy of that need after the internet, but there are vital services the USPS provides that the internet can’t.

I don’t like the direction things are going, but i still want to be a part of that. All i can do is make sure the mail I get is getting where it’s supposed to be.

If you believe in what you do and that’s important to you, then stick it out. If it’s not, then that’s fine, but you may want to get out for your mental health.

That has been happening here (US) for decades. The real problem is the escalation of stupid shit that Republicans do is on an exponential growth trajectory.

One of the houses this year had a couple of signs that led you to “knock three times” on the door. It was pretty fun for the kids.

Nah man, just wipe the surface.

Most likely all scientists will admit that there is a lot more we don’t know than what we do know.

Nah, i know what it means. I just was looking for some insight on a subject that i seemed to have missed out on.

That’s all i can gather. I just wanted to know why there hasn’t been much conversation about it. Yes, it was over a decade ago, but it seems to be something about her that i really don’t like.

Thank you for that. It may have simply been a reminder about the knew 13 year old ruler, but there is always a conspiracy to fantasize about.

In fact, the text on the Stone is a copy of a prototype that was composed about a century earlier in the 3rd century BC. Only the date and the names were changed.

What happened in the 3rd century? Why did they choose to only make a prototype? How deep does this go?

It kind of worked, if you’re willing.

Another example of how war has ripple effects for generations.

You’re probably right.

I apologize for starting this discussion, but it is quite interesting.

I feel i must add my anecdotal testimony. I’ve gotten the opportunity to teach high school for a few years, my mom was a grade school teacher her entire career, and my grandparents owned a preschool when i was a kid. So I have gotten to know a lot of teachers from every level of education. I also spent far too many years earning my degree while transferring amongst 3 different schools.

I can’t say that i have encountered a single teacher that really concerns me of being a psychopath. I am not a psychologist, and I’m sure it can be well hidden. But in my experience, teachers only become teachers because they really care and want to help other people.

Regardless, this discussion is purely hypothetical. Unless we want to start a national registry for psychopaths/sociopaths.

I’m pretty sure any sign that you are losing a war is going to create a negative preceptor among citizens. This is beyond fucked up.

Almost half the freaking budget.

Hey now, wait a minute. My mom told me i was special. She didn’t say you were special.

I would like to know the percentage of high level politicians that are psychopaths.

OK, that makes a lot of sense (pun intended af). Thank you!
