Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

If you want to live to old age (I'm ambivalent) you literally cannot afford to not have a revolution. More on this later.
Nope. Those supply lines are crazy, the contrivances of insurance and IP law require so much bureaucracy, and then there's tje side effects; of both capitalism and the drug.
Los Angeles kinda burned down and was drowned by toxic smoke last winter because we spent all the city and county money on cops to protect rich people from hearing the poor say "please stop" at scale and nothing preventing or preparing for the disasters our city/region is known for, that my grandmother, who had never been here, loved songs about. Best economic system. We're rebuilding in the same places, with houses just as flammable. The people know it's dumb, but the wealthy make the decisions. There was toxic fallout over the entire god damn city. It got everywhere. I'm almost certainly getting at least one cancer about this.
This summer those cops saturated us with so much tear gas it poisoned the water protecting capital's geopolitical interests from people asking the government to stop paying to blow up hospitals with their tax dollars. Billions of dollars annually. Basically the only industry employing certain kinds of engineers. To blow up hospitals. So healthy. So cheap. So safe.
Today (technically yesterday but my sleep schedule is fucked) theres a potential for flash floods and I got emergency warnings about 'debris flows' which is like mudslides/flash floods but of toxic waste that nobody cleaned up because there's no profit in that.
We aren't special. This shit happens everywhere.
Yeah, it does. But wanting to die can also be a strength, and capitalism causes and worsens depression.
