[vestal raft]

[cunning comet]

Didn’t that release last year?

[quiet thunder]

Bi weekly ahh boy

[autumn stag]

You used to think I was Gui's alt account

[faint palm]

I'm always shocked when I hear weekly or bi weekly

There is no such thing where I live

[dusky grove]

Bi weekly???

[heady lion]

Rlly?

[dusky grove]

I got paid only monthly

[autumn stag]

yeah

[dusky grove]

As most jobs here lol

[faint palm]

Yeah same

[heady lion]

Damn i forgot bout it XD

[faint palm]

Most places are monthly

[quiet thunder]

That sucks

[faint palm]

wait where is uhh

dark from again

[dim sparrow]

Monthly is chilling

[vestal raft]

even welfare is twice a month here

[dusky grove]

Sandpit

[faint palm]

country

[dusky grove]

(I live in uae)

[faint palm]

oh

[dusky grove]

But im from iraq originally

[faint palm]

Yeah everywhere besides US is monthly

Thats the one thing they do better

Gimme my money weekly

[quiet thunder]

Weekly paid jobs make you feel like you did all that work for nothing 💀 be working 40-50 hours to see a 350$ check

[dusky grove]

Id prefer getting paid more frequent to catch up with rent and other things

[vestal raft]

i wouldn’t mind monthly

[dusky grove]

@vestal raft my one bedroom in cali is 2350/mo

[vestal raft]

not too bad

[dusky grove]

its pretty average

its also the same pricing you'd get where I live rn

[quiet thunder]

Shiii let’s gooo

[faint palm]

bro

[dusky grove]

it irks me to wait that long for pay day

[faint palm]

90% of paychecks where I live don't reach that number

Standards are so insanely diff man

[dusky grove]

i dont work an irl job anymore I do freelance and it makes enough for rent and other expenses, ive quit my irl job here originally to focus on uni but also realized that what I make now is far more than what that job paid me

i worked 50-60 hour weeks just to make 1200 usd a month thats messed up

[faint palm]

Shi, chase that bag man

[faint palm]

bro

[chrome hawk]

🤝

[faint palm]

I'm from a country with much smaller standards, so smaller prices and paychecks, and I make more than that while working less

[dusky grove]

i like how the government here keeps claiming they "have the best job market"

only talking to themselves because they dont have to worry if theyre rich af

[vestal raft]

dw our government says that too

[chrome hawk]

Having prices adjusted to your country’s purchasing power is nice

Can’t relate

[dusky grove]

salaries are supposed to scale with living expenses, but im sorry, 3k aed a month is NOT even scrap money, and thats the average pay for entry level graduates

[thorny patrol]

[dusky grove]

3k aed is 800 usd

[thorny patrol]

Can i dm you rq?

[chrome hawk]

He’s in a relationship

[thorny patrol]

Wtf is you even saying

[chrome hawk]

Don’t be sliding into his dms

[dusky grove]

[vestal raft]

[nocturne plank]

[dusky grove]

You can drive a hammer?

[vestal raft]

yeah, that’s the girl

[chrome hawk]

Yes

[deft blaze]

anything is possible if you have enough will

[thorny patrol]

Though so

[heady lion]

You can also drive a lemon

A life size lemon

[dusky grove]

dude this tool kicks ass and I can watch Madagascar while im driving

[chrome hawk]

I can drive you (crazy)

[deft blaze]

[deft blaze]

I'm going to merge without looking now

[vestal raft]

[heady lion]

Same

[thorny patrol]

@deft blaze today i saw a dodge viper for the first time face to engine

[warped hazel]

[heady lion]

Ill go make one tbh

[deft blaze]

[dusky grove]

[chrome hawk]

You mean a frank

[faint palm]

yeah that garbage

[warped hazel]

freaky ppl

[faint palm]

Well of course we're not gonna have the same prices as the us

[heady lion]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-well-forgetting-sarah-marshall-shrug-what-idk-gif-5281408

[faint palm]

in that case wed all be homeless

[deft blaze]

no i mean a sausage

[chrome hawk]

A glizzy

[heady lion]

Glizzy

Crazy shit

[chrome hawk]

I haven’t had a good glizzy in a while

[dusky grove]

yea this one dude i know from this server he used to work as a media creator in dubai and he only got paid 3k aed/mo

[thorny patrol]

The best ever
2000

[dusky grove]

its so dystopian

[deft blaze]

oh damn

rare ass viper year

[dusky grove]

800 dollars a month in dubai

[deft blaze]

most of them have crashed

[dusky grove]

literally what do you do with that

[chrome hawk]

Our prices aren’t far off yet the salaries are a complete joke

[dusky grove]

Yeah I faintly remember a long while ago you told me how much you made if you calculated usd per hour when you were working

[chrome hawk]

It was $3 an hour

[thorny patrol]

The gray paint and black and red middle line too

Huge ass wing

[deft blaze]

ACR

[dusky grove]

Is food and other basic expenses cheaper in beirut though?

[thorny patrol]

Yes

[chrome hawk]

Which is not that bad considering I could study at work

[chrome hawk]

Cheaper than where?

[dusky grove]

Like how much do you pay for bread

[deft blaze]

actually a super neat catch, those old ACRs are rare as hell

[chrome hawk]

You know we use pita bread

[dusky grove]

Other places in general

[tight linden]

This game is so pretty

[chrome hawk]

So it’s 70 cents for a bag with 6

[dusky grove]

Yeah 5 iraqi khubz for 10 dirhams for us

[thorny patrol]

I asked if he wanted to sell
Bro said 500k

[dusky grove]

Thats actually much better

Yeah I can see it

[chrome hawk]

Possibly yeah, since it’s close to the port so there’s no added transportation fee. But there’s a luxurious area tax in more central city area

[dusky grove]

Baghdad can also get this cheap

In my experience

[chrome hawk]

We typically need 2 bags a day

[dusky grove]

You'd get alot of food with a small amount of pocket momey

[deft blaze]

he charging for sentimental value on top of its base price it seems lol

[chrome hawk]

Bread and vegetables stuff like that is pretty cheap

Meat is about $18 a KG

Well, beef

[dusky grove]

Are you also part of that or not at the central

[thorny patrol]

Worth every penny but unfortunately i can't get it because my country doesn't allow it

[chrome hawk]

Currently not, never been in those areas

Not a fan of the general vibe there anyways

Everyone’s trying to impress each other it’s kinda toxic

[deft blaze]

vipers are banned in your country?

[dusky grove]

When the missiles began some companies briefly tried taking advantage and artificially increases the prices greatly, then they got held accountable and lowered back to normal

Groceries in general are rising here since 2025 iirc. Its just dirt expensive

[chrome hawk]

I think the biggest scam here is power and internet

And we still have 5 or 10A breakers to this day

[dusky grove]

Yea same here, consequences of monopoly company that wont have any action taken because its technically government owned

[upper turtle]

you can count on corporations to capitalize on a bad time lol

[dusky grove]

No upgrades yet?

[nimble jay]

I'm not surprised

[chrome hawk]

You can get bigger breakers but you’ll be paying way more

[chrome hawk]

What’s the price of a kW? It’s kinda weird the UAE would have high prices

[nimble jay]

Vipers have only ever existed because of crazy loopholes that eventually get patched and then they stop producing them

[deft blaze]

yeah I'm not either lol

[dusky grove]

Uh I think 10-20 cents so similar to the US

[nimble jay]

I wanna try an ac cobra kit car

[dusky grove]

Yea my parents show me their bills sometimes its ridiculous

[nimble jay]

Like the little Shelby's

[thorny patrol]

Almost every supercar is

[stark steppe]

Kitkat

[thorny patrol]

I got away with the Gallardo back in the day

But now i can't

[dusky grove]

Depends where in the uae the prices are high or not, but ad's situation is crazy and has been for a while. Rent, utilities, groceries, cars, whatever it is, all expensive

[sterile raft]

400 roads
120 mascots
100 xp boards so far
@sweet quest @spice sentinel
almost done with minamino and Ito, and then the 3 regions to the North

[thorny patrol]

[sterile raft]

I haven't even done a single race

"go get your first wristband"

[thorny patrol]

A day in out time is like 23 seconds in his

[deft blaze]

[thorny patrol]

[deft blaze]

[sterile raft]

I don't have access to wheelspins. just bought a Challenger and Cholla and tore off across the continent

[thorny patrol]

I though we'll race irl

[sterile raft]

I have the blue ribbon for exploration

[deft blaze]

i mean when I first installed I drove from the southern most point of the map to the northern most

[sterile raft]

[thorny patrol]

Guess the M5 we'll sleep without a race today

[deft blaze]

the map is so fucking pretty

easily the best FH map they've made

[thorny patrol]

Is there's an M5 if forza 6?

[deft blaze]

yes

[thorny patrol]

[deft blaze]

I've just seen the m5

[thorny patrol]

[deft blaze]

[sterile raft]

I dont really have many skill points how are you banking those?

[thorny patrol]

[sweet quest]

Boring

[deft blaze]

[quiet thunder]

It’s alright for a bmw

@spring tangle just added you on Xbox

[sweet quest]

@deft blaze how tf did someone do an 11s on the drag strip with a lambo

[stark steppe]

How much does the game even cost

[spark briar]

@spring tangle pictures send now

[spark briar]

[spark briar]

I join you in 7 hours

[sweet quest]

nah

[spring tangle]

Drag times?

[sweet quest]

yeah

but how

i cant get sub14

[spring tangle]

That doesn’t seem that fast tbh

I done 16 in a stock r32

I raced a guy in a mustang and he was twice as fast as me

[deft blaze]

cheaters?

well if its the festival dragstrip its cheats cuz there's no way you doing a mile in 11 sec

[sweet quest]

this is my current setup, i dont see how someone is doing faster in these cars

[deft blaze]

if its a shorter one then its possible with the right tune

[sweet quest]

i know the GTR FE can do 11 seconds

but not this random lambo

[spring tangle]

That lambo doesn’t look random

Never even heard of a lambo Sian

[sweet quest]

i have it

and even in R class its not that fast

[spring tangle]

It’s rl stats are 0-60 in 2.9secs

819hp

[sweet quest]

managed sub14

[spring tangle]

Plus it’s a hybrid so should be rapid

[sweet quest]

i have it

its not that fast

[spring tangle]

I blame the driver lol

[sweet quest]

its a drag race

[merry perch]

@vestal raft you try this yet?

[sweet quest]

god im trash at drifting

i just dont get it

get how to drift

[quiet thunder]

Better in manual tbh

[sweet quest]

yeah manual driving is also a no for me

[quiet thunder]

If I’m drifting I just do manual without a clutch holding the car in 2nd or 3rd make it easier to control the drift

[chrome hawk]

Sense some grass

[spring tangle]

Just tap the e brake and start steering into it

Has anyone managed to get that mx5 fe yet

Thing looks mental

[sweet quest]

the one with the massive turbos?

it spawns at the drag strip some times

[spring tangle]

Yeah you can force it to spawn

[heady lion]

Typ i got it

Its pretty good

[spring tangle]

Just buy the car that’s there then quit the game reload etc

[quiet thunder]

Anybody done online racing yet kinda curious if we got the same fh4/fh5 online or if we got our fh3 online roots back

[spring tangle]

I done a party event

Was good fun

[faint palm]

@chrome hawk Youre from like

Lebanon or smthn right

[chrome hawk]

Yes

[faint palm]

And y'all got prices reaching US standard?

[chrome hawk]

Probably not to that level but it’s pretty bad

[faint palm]

Damn

[chrome hawk]

Food especially

[faint palm]

Food in Bosnia is also stupid expensive, thank god I don't live there anymore

[chrome hawk]

Fast food is almost a luxury these days

[faint palm]

Bru why is trash tier Mcdonalds so expensive

[chrome hawk]

Gone are the days of dropping $100 at a restaurant and you get a whole 3 meter table full of appetisers then main dishes

[faint palm]

now you feed like

5 ppl

maybe

[quiet thunder]

Ye party events are okay I just wanna know how the online racing is is it still the team bs or can I finally load up solos again

[chrome hawk]

Pretty much yeah, a burger with some fries and a drink at some half-decent restaurant is 20 per person

[faint palm]

horrible

Thankfully, food in Slovenia is reasonably priced

It's the housing that's horrible

[heady lion]

Fh6 really reviving forza franchise

[chrome hawk]

Making your own food is not horrible here, you can always put something together for a couple bucks

[chrome hawk]

How much is rent

In an average area

Suburbs

[faint palm]

How big of an apartment

[chrome hawk]

2-bedroom

Like

90sqm maybe

[faint palm]

700-800€ and up

For a 2 bedroom

[chrome hawk]

Oh that’s not that bad

[faint palm]

Maybe 70sqm

[left elk]

pocket change

[faint palm]

The average person makes like 1500€

[left elk]

we can just put it on @chrome hawk’s tab

they’ll cover for us

[chrome hawk]

I mean it’s cheaper here, you can get a 2-bedroom for $400-500

But still

[faint palm]

It's pretty bad

[chrome hawk]

It’s pretty close to here then, average salary is like half that

[faint palm]

With how much people make, it's become horrible

Raising a family? Fuck you

[faint palm]

Then we're both cooked

[pseudo turret]

Hello guys

[chrome hawk]

Do you have the astronomical petrol prices

Like the rest of europe

[faint palm]

:(

[chrome hawk]

It was fine here up until recently, went from 80 cents/L to now $1.5

[faint palm]

Fuck you

1.15

[chrome hawk]

Wtfff

[faint palm]

We almost at 2

Bitch ass

[pseudo turret]

Gas prices are so high due to all the wars right?

[chrome hawk]

Lmfao

[faint palm]

I do live in the capital, so that explains the prices, but you have to live here because most of the industry and jobs are here

It's the only place you can genuinely live and work

[chrome hawk]

No more riding around for fun now, only go out when I need to get something and maybe take a longer route just to ride around for a bit

[chrome hawk]

Relatable

[faint palm]

p much yeah

[chrome hawk]

What’s the average electricity bill for a family of 5? Or is it all solar now

[faint palm]

Fuck no it's not solar lmao

But I honestly don't know

I don't have a family of 5 lmao

[vestal raft]

yeah. having one rn

[chrome hawk]

You can’t have a family of 5*

[faint palm]

No I'm just 23

When did I have the time

To make a family of 5

[chrome hawk]

No, I mean you couldn’t make enough money to

People still manage to do it here, but people here love kids

[faint palm]

I probably could, given a few more years experience

[merry perch]

Worth?

[chrome hawk]

I mean, they love having children

[faint palm]

Since I make more than the average person

[vestal raft]

for sure. i love them

i bought a few 4 packs of them

[faint palm]

It's extremely rare for someone here to not have children

[chrome hawk]

Anyways, a family of 5 here spends about 15kW a day, so 450kW a month at $0.7 a kW and you’re looking at… $300 a month

So most people have taken out loans to buy solar

[faint palm]

That is way too expensive

Back in Bosnia, they pay about 150

[open violet]

whoever can fix the error for windows 7 and windows 8 dm and i will pay him irl money

[vestal raft]

those prices are insane lmao

[mental wedge]

anyone wants to play gta 5 ?

[chrome hawk]

Idk about Eastern Europe but from what I understand western europeans don’t make many children

[faint palm]

I grew up in a 6 person household there, that was the price ish

[chrome hawk]

That’s still expensive ngl

When you look at other countries for 10 cent kW

[faint palm]

Eastern Europe is generally more traditional

And family orientated

[faint palm]

It is but, you cope

[chrome hawk]

Iran has < 1 cent per kW

Practically free electricity but they get paid in pennies too

[faint palm]

France has real good energy production

[vestal raft]

just check my bill, it’s 12 cents per kwh here

[chrome hawk]

I think france is like, one of the best countries at using nuclear to make power

[faint palm]

What like, 50 bucks?

[chrome hawk]

around 40% of their power is nuclear iirc

[open violet]

whoever knows how to fix the windows 7 and windows 8 error i will be paying 15 dollars

[faint palm]

More

[chrome hawk]

Never mjnd

It’s 67

💀

[faint palm]

Leave the server

Immediately

[chrome hawk]

[vestal raft]

usually around $120. about $180ish in summer months though

[faint palm]

AC eating up power

[chrome hawk]

Do you have AC always on or

Heating and cooling

[vestal raft]

in the summer? i have it set to 71

[merry perch]

[vestal raft]

my heating isn’t electric

[faint palm]

71 degrees?

Bro is gonna die

[chrome hawk]

Gas?

[faint palm]

He loves the heat

[vestal raft]

though it’s usually like 66 on my first floor

[vestal raft]

ye

[merry perch]

Don't think I'd last a night at 71F

[vestal raft]

gassy af

[chrome hawk]

Then wtf

Why is your electricity bill so big

[faint palm]

That's what? 20 degrees?

That's a nice temp

[vestal raft]

because i have a big house lmao

[chrome hawk]

What do you have running

Do you have non-LED lights on all the time

[vestal raft]

non-led what is this the 90s

[chrome hawk]

Well

Fluorescent lights are still a thing

[faint palm]

He lives in the middle east

I imagine it can be found easily

In the region

[chrome hawk]

Especially those long ones

[vestal raft]

i’ll show u a long one

[faint palm]

derrik no

[vestal raft]

honestly i think like $50 of my bill is because of my sump pump

[faint palm]

tf is a sump pump

[vestal raft]

high ass water level type shit

so annoying

[chrome hawk]

Ah

Bro lives under the sea level

[vestal raft]

we have basements here and to prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up on foundation, you install a sump pit with a pump

and our water level has risen i think. so that thing is always kicking on

[faint palm]

How about

You just cope with the pressure

Constantly fix the walls like a real man

[vestal raft]

[chrome hawk]

Well

Have you seen how american houses are built

[vestal raft]

if it was up to me, i would’ve said fuck a basement

[chrome hawk]

Shit would crumble like a cookie

[hollow dagger]

I remember my sisters basement had a sump pump but it was like a gaping hole in the ground surrounding the actual pump

[vestal raft]

i looked into foundation repair and that shit can cost like 20k just to fix ONE wall lmao

[vestal raft]

yeah that’s a sump pit

[nimble jay]

My house would be devastatingly cramped without the basement. There are not extra rooms upstairs it's just living kitchen dining and bedrooms

[vestal raft]

my hole isn’t too big

[nimble jay]

Basement is the only good free space I got

[chrome hawk]

Extra rooms for what

[nimble jay]

For anything

Space is good

[chrome hawk]

Storage?

[faint palm]

crack smuggling

[nimble jay]

That's one big aspect yea

[chrome hawk]

How many sqf is the house

[nimble jay]

The basement is about 500 square feet

I wanna move all my shit down there and out of my bedroom soon

[chrome hawk]

Ah

[vestal raft]

oh had

i also have a dehumidifier running in basement. that probably is another 20 dollars a month

[faint palm]

Huh

[chrome hawk]

I always had one question about ur houses actually, is there no creaking sound when someone’s walking upstairs because it’s all wood?

[faint palm]

Apparently sqft to sqm is /100

[nimble jay]

20 a month in electricity for a humidifier? Is it huge?

[chrome hawk]

Damn

[faint palm]

Just divide sqft by 100 and u get sqm

thats cool

[chrome hawk]

So your bill actually makes sense then

[vestal raft]

depends on floor used

hardwood will creak

or if the subfloor isn’t properly secured

subfloor nails will pop after some time and then you got creaking noises

[nimble jay]

I love when floors and subfloors are level and don't creak. Couldn't be my house though 😭

[chrome hawk]

Ngl I like having everything close together and the room filled in, and walking up and down the stairs from bedroom to basement is kinda annoying

[vestal raft]

my subfloor has a lot of popped nails that i’m gonna fix when i redo my floors

[chrome hawk]

Laughs in concrete house

[nimble jay]

If I was a little kid I'd want everything in one spot too but now I wish my bedroom was just my bed and a small desk.

I want anything gaming or recreational far away from my bedroom

[faint palm]

Not brick?

[nimble jay]

Because one I don't have the space in this room anymore for what I wanna do with it

And two I can go to bed with no distractions

[chrome hawk]

Conrete pillars with cinder block walls

[faint palm]

goated

[chrome hawk]

Well, floors too

[faint palm]

That's what we got too

[chrome hawk]

Not brick though

Unless you mean cinder blocks

[faint palm]

I meant cinder blocks. I get them confused

Because they're the same word in my language

[nimble jay]

So ideally when the recreational portion of the basement is done it'll be a couch, racing Sim, computer desk, and small home gym corner

[chrome hawk]

The one thing I’m jealous of is the punchable walls you can break open and route cables behind

Can’t do that here

[nimble jay]

If my room could fit all that I don't think space would he an issue for the house cause it would be a mansion to have a bedroom that size lol

[nimble jay]

It makes sense for non load bearing walls to be hallow and insulated rather than some really thick concrete

[chrome hawk]

Practically every cable management video I’ve seen lately starts off with "so first of all you crack open the wall" and I stop right there

[chrome hawk]

Oh, a racing sim definitely needs its own space

[nimble jay]

My room can't fit a dedicated Sim so I use a foldable rn

It's great

But I gotta upgrade eventually

[chrome hawk]

I had my sim rig (wheel pedal and shifter) next to me and I had to clamp it down everytime

It wasn’t very nice

[nimble jay]

I can't do desk and swivel chair anymore it is horrendous

[chrome hawk]

And there was no way I was fitting a chair

[nimble jay]

Moving around and turning in the seat while the wheel falls off the desk

Before I had my mount I used the wheel only maybe a few times a year

It was stressful

You press the brake pedal and the swivel chair goes across the room

[chrome hawk]

I had a normal office chair and I’d keep sliding back every time I pushed the fuckass brake pedal of the g29

[nimble jay]

Yep

[chrome hawk]

[nimble jay]

My main issue wasn't even that because I have carpet. My main issue was the swiveling side to side

It was tremendously annoying

I have no non swivel chair chair I could use so I ended up just buying an entire mount

It wasn't too expensive and it folds up nicely

[chrome hawk]

Wait what’s a swivel chair

[jagged ridge]

Micron my crazy friend how are youuu

[nimble jay]

This is only half folded for my convenience, it folds really tight and can fit in a closet

[chrome hawk]

Is it like those grandma chairs

[jagged ridge]

Take two is on sale i guess

Get it early while you can 🥹

[nimble jay]

It fits right under my desk if I move the desk forward a bit

And it aligns with the monitors well

[chrome hawk]

That’s nice

You have blue walls?

I had blue walls too lol

[merry perch]

[nimble jay]

What I noticed with Sims is that even really expensive Sims much more expensive than this is that, they sit way too upright and the steering wheel is WAY too high and far away

[jagged ridge]

Blue

[nimble jay]

It feels wacky

This foldable mount sits better than a $9000 Sim I was in a month ago

[jagged ridge]

Bluey

[nimble jay]

So I like it for practice

[jagged ridge]

Another 90+ degrees day today

[nimble jay]

Yea, you going to gunnison beach?

[faint palm]

Damn, really hot where u at

It's a nice 20 over here

[chrome hawk]

90 degrees

[jagged ridge]

Wayy to scared plus im too scared to sun burn my .... Stuff

[nimble jay]

We're getting a calm lil heat wave then it is going back to normal

[jagged ridge]

Imagine

[merry perch]

38F around here

[faint palm]

tf

where does bro live

[nimble jay]

Gotta put sun screen on your dangalang

[merry perch]

Earth

[chrome hawk]

Perfect weather here

[nimble jay]

[jagged ridge]

Can you believe the people on the New Jersey groups were saying "wahhh we went straight from winter to summer" like bro did they not go outside during March and April ?

[merry perch]

Genuinely peak weather

[faint palm]

tbf

March and April sucked

[jagged ridge]

We had the springest spring this year

[faint palm]

they were practically winter

for us

[nimble jay]

March and April were bipolar

[jagged ridge]

Exactly

[nimble jay]

One day it was 25c the next it was 7c

[chrome hawk]

Even here it was raining weirdly enough

[jagged ridge]

EXACTLYYYY

[chrome hawk]

It rained today actually

[jagged ridge]

Literally spring

[faint palm]

You know it's bad when it's raining in fucking Lebanon

[faint palm]

That's not what spring used to be

[chrome hawk]

Last time it rained in may was like

2019

[nimble jay]

Yesterday

[merry perch]

Hell nahh

Fried

[faint palm]

cooked

[nimble jay]

Thankfully the ac at work is getting fixed

[faint palm]

what do u even do for work epik

[nimble jay]

I told them to a while ago but today really hit

[jagged ridge]

Im up by 100 on opening bell

[nimble jay]

Cement plant

[jagged ridge]

Finally hit 10,000

[nimble jay]

It's much better than Amazon

[faint palm]

what u do there

Oh u the one makin the cement

gotcha

[jagged ridge]

You used to work for Amazon?

[vestal raft]

taste tester

[chrome hawk]

Mixes cement smoothies maybe

[nimble jay]

No corporate bullshit and it's not very stressful

[nimble jay]

Ding ding ding!

😂

[faint palm]

Idk I always imagined Epik doing accounting or smthn

[jagged ridge]

I didn't know you used to work for Amazon

[faint palm]

Maybe he doing accounting for the cement.plant

[jagged ridge]

Did you work inside the warehouse or were you a driver

[chrome hawk]

Every guy in his 20s that I know has worked as a delivery guy or at a warehouse

[nimble jay]

I have a snap of me in 2023 in my accounting 218 class saying I wanna jump out this window rn and then proceeded to give everyone on my story a tour of a house I drew on my Mac

Bad times, bad times

[faint palm]

So I was close

[faint palm]

I haven't!

[nimble jay]

College wouldn't have been very useful unfortunately

[chrome hawk]

You won in life

[nimble jay]

I could probably do a better job lol

[nimble jay]

At Amazon I technically didn't work in the warehouse

But I guess you could consider it that

They are easy jobs to work for a bit for money then leave and do other things

The turn over is insanely high

[chrome hawk]

I’ve heard Amazon has a really shitty work environment but that’s practically most big companies

[jagged ridge]

Even jeff bezos isnt CEO anymore

[nimble jay]

I worked one dsp on Monday and left them on Thursday

[nimble jay]

Yep

[jagged ridge]

My local warehouses have some regulars

Might be related to the dsp owners idk

[nimble jay]

If your warehouse is small and the supervisors are chill it could feel more like a regular company and less like a slaving corporation

But you gotta get lucky

[jagged ridge]

Like if your daddy owns a dsp maybe you will be able to work for him or something

Other than that sheesh

[nimble jay]

That's the last job I'd wanna inherit lmao

Hopefully daddy works at Goldman Sachs instead

[jagged ridge]

Not inherit but at least you would probably be able to drive for like a year or something

Or just be dispatcher

Milk it for like 2 years

Because some of the DSPs in New Jersey the drivers are getting some of the nicest routes ever and there seems to be favoritism idk

Like they've been driving for 2 years already for Amazon bro

[nimble jay]

I'm just glad I never have to go in an Amazon van again

[jagged ridge]

Lol

I hope I go back to be honest for at least one more year

Just for funsies

[nimble jay]

I was considering doing it as a second job like 2 days a week but idk if it is worth my sanity

[jagged ridge]

It's not that horrible

[nimble jay]

It is where I am

[jagged ridge]

It depends which DSP you get just like lucifa was saying

[nimble jay]

They make no sense

[jagged ridge]

Yeah

Because technically you could save up like $100,000 and start your own DSP but like you said who would want to do that? But sometimes assholes got the money and do it

Realistically speaking how hard is it to deliver a box, an Amazon box

[nimble jay]

The Brooklyn deliveries are from Staten Island, the Staten Island deliveries are from Jersey, and the Jersey warehouse deliveries go to Manhattan

[jagged ridge]

Yeahhh bro our region is horrible

[nimble jay]

The logistics gotta be a tax write off or some shit

It is too dumb

[jagged ridge]

I had a dsp ask me if i want to be a runner in Manhattan gtfo

And the bicycle delivery HECK NO

[nimble jay]

HAH

[jagged ridge]

Manhattan has runners and then the bicycle deliveries too it's insane

[nimble jay]

The walkers who take stuff out of the big trucks look so depressed

They are effectively zombies

[jagged ridge]

Yep lol

Horrible

[jagged ridge]

Yep

[nimble jay]

And they get paid less than the driver who sits innthe box truck for 6 hours and does nothing

[jagged ridge]

Lmaoooo

Thats true

[nimble jay]

Amazon is just a shit show but they don't care because their packages don't give them revenue

They only gaf about their web services aspect

Amazon is just as much of a tech company as say Google

[jagged ridge]

I mean I'm buying more stocks in Amazon but yeah they're ruthless company

[nimble jay]

I'm surprised they didn't get rid of the logistics branch

[jagged ridge]

It's just how they operate

[jagged ridge]

They're expanding their logistics

[nimble jay]

Why

[jagged ridge]

It was on the news like a week ago they're going to be delivering more stuff

They're going even bigger

They like the logistics business

[nimble jay]

Just seems not worth the hassle

[jagged ridge]

I want more shares I want like two more shares in Amazon

I eventually want 10 shares in Amazon like before July

The way they operate is messed up but it seems to be working

[autumn zinc]

hello

[thorny patrol]

Wdym what

It so fucking obvious

Either way i'm gonna larp as the other people larped JJK

[opal sapphire]

No, a gta player

Oh bruh now JJS doesnt work, i hate you Tze

Bring something good instead buffing Fraudssel

[nimble jay]

I found a fairer distribution for "if everyone in the world gave me $1"
Instead I'd only take a single dollar from anybody who is worth over $1000 liquid. And I take $1,000 from anyone worth over $10,000,000.

So now I take $1000 from over 2 million people who won't ever notice it is gone. And don't take a dollar from anybody in a third world country worth day only the equivalent of $6

[pine sandal]

my order is arriving today should be ready for summer it will allow my skin to be more resistant to the sun less likely to burn

[nimble jay]

Try zinc based sunscreen

Regular sunscreen is bad for the environment and not all that good for you in general. Some countries don't even allow it on beaches if they have a lot of coral reefs near

[pine sandal]

do they have them in a spray or is it only a lotion?

✅ Banned skittish_fever63 (Case #484798) (user notified with a direct message)

[nimble jay]

Both!

It applies like regular sun screen

It'll feel thicker at first but you just gotta rub it in

Regular sun screen works by you absorbing it into your skin and it takes the uv and breaks it down.
Zinc sunscreen works by just legit being a uv shield and blocking it

Sorta like how sunscreen should work

This is a really popular brand of zinc based stuff

[sweet quest]

@nimble jay oh my god this car is great

[nimble jay]

It has a lot of inactive ingredients still like regular sunscreen

[sweet quest]

im just trolling people at the dragstrip rn

[pine sandal]

i get sun burnt very easily so i pretty much have to wear sunscreen every time i go out

[nimble jay]

There are definitely healthier options but they smell like butter and chalk probably

[sweet quest]

going half throttle to let them catch up and then flooring it

[nimble jay]

Lmao

[sweet quest]

my time is 11:46 rn

[nimble jay]

This is good cause zinc sunscreen is much better for frequent use

Regular sunscreen is fine once in a while but it's a hormone disruptive chemical

So I personally wouldn't use it daily

Only at the pool on occasion

Sorry for the rant but I like sun screen lol

[pine sandal]

the sun usually is at it's strongest around noon to after noon

Other than that great layout, the bedrooms are very spacious

I think the dark farmhouse style is a lot less boring than the regular one

I do like an Aston Martin

[sweet quest]

also the GRT forza edition is so much fun

it blows most cars out of the water

so i just let people win half the dragrace and then floor it

[spring tangle]

Which one is the grt

I got some orange Forza edition something earlier

[gentle dirge]

Why that looks ugly

[vague helm]

does it go above 288mph?

[spring tangle]

Oh yeah I’ve heard about the black edition

I’m sure the mx5 is meant to be faster

[spring tangle]

Apparently the Mazda can do 10-10.5 legit

[sweet quest]

just got the mazda with the best possible drag setup

[spring tangle]

I can’t get it to spawn yet though

I don’t get any cars spawn there though do they unlock with a higher colour wristband?

[chrome hawk]

You like getting everything done fast don’t you

I like how this is a problem across all countries lmao

Just government services being extremely slow and a pain in the ass to deal with

[warm compass]

I just don’t like waiting in line 😂, oh well it’s done now

I like setting an appointment, going to it at least 10mins early, getting in, getting done, getting out

[light pendant]

Sure, but many times people come uninformed and unprepared. Forcing the already tired employees to deal with their messes

[chrome hawk]

Ngl

[light pendant]

Like, whenever i go to the post office to ship something it takes ppl like 10-20 min to ship ONE package while i only come in and drop it off and im out

Thankfully we now have self serve kiosks

[chrome hawk]

A lot of the times that comes down to how well the government website or whatever explains what papers you need to get your stuff done

I can’t count the times I go in to get something done, and then they send me on a whole rollercoaster to get more papers I had no clue were needed

[light pendant]

You are right but id rather bring more documentation than necessary just in case

You never know

[chrome hawk]

And the only place to get papers photocopied is in the government facility itself and they’re usually scamming hard

Like, $2 to photocopy one black and white paper

[chrome hawk]

I’m still relatively new tbh so

I don’t always know what to bring

[warm compass]

Depending on quantity of things you have to do a cheap printer with a scanner is a good investment

[chrome hawk]

Middlemen are very common here aswell and they usually bribe the government workers to go in line first or get their stuff done faster

[light pendant]

Wow isnt there like a library or something

[warm compass]

It’s also one of those things that makes you go “oh wait a second I can actually deal with that now”

[light pendant]

I can go to a library and pay $0.20 per copy

[chrome hawk]

Most people don’t register their own vehicles or deal with any paperwork, it’s all middlemen. I didn’t want to buy into that nonsense and got my license by myself but man was it a pain in the ass

[chrome hawk]

That’s the normal price yeah

[light pendant]

Do you live in a third world country

[chrome hawk]

Maybe fourth

[light pendant]

Oh wow

[chrome hawk]

Or fifth

[light pendant]

Ok it might be over

[light pendant]

My family is from the caribbean and its kinda crazy to me how people simply dont give a shit about documentation and stuff like that over there

[light pendant]

No car insurance either

[long harness]

[light pendant]

Most ppl dont wear searbelts

[chrome hawk]

Mainly because, it’s $400 for a license

[light pendant]

And somehow there isnt that many accidents. I have to give them that

[chrome hawk]

And only recently did the dmv open up for license applications

[elder flame]

Most modern cars make the beeping noise when u don’t have on a seatbelt anyway
