  1. still regret my purchase after a year. there was no rental option but wanted to watch it. it was a mediocre at its best. it's kinda rip off between john wick and whatever bad revenge movie you throw at it, it was not definitely worth 20 something dollars.  my first fight back in 2016, my very first punch, broke my hand. you can't handle that kind of beating and continue on. i'm sorry, it's just not realistic, no movie is, but the kind of beating he took? no way. i hate it lol. 


  2. wokeness has ruined so many of my fav movies of past with sh*tty remakes and sequels, and yet they are still going strong, producing garbage after another. their main purpose is to brainwash, probably don't even care about making money anymore since they are exposed anyway. only thing i watch now days is old wrestling clips and matches from wcw/wwf early 2000 era on YT. and DAMNNNN shawn michaels is still wrestling..he looks like a grandpa now.  


  3. just checked both of their prices on amazon and steam. really..no thanks. that's too high. i have pc to play my games on (some needs wheels and pedals while others need mouse and keyboard), don't know why i have to pay extra hundreds of dollars to play something that i already have. then again i still haven't touched my ps5 in almost a year now..-_- 


  4. basically my friday route. some stores won't let you in if another vendor is already there. first come first serve. this was same when i worked at dr. pepper. when your next stop is miles and miles away and you need to drop from 50 to 100 cases while waiting for other guy to finish theirs is time consuming.  and not to mention some receivers/managers are assh*les and take their sweet time to check you in. had argued with so many customers and got kicked out by several stores. only reason i'm not getting in trouble is everyone is quitting and we are both short on drivers and helpers. some of others got fired for stealing beer and etc. 

    they got 1st minute correct lol. everything beyond that is romanticized. lucky if you get a helper even if you have over 500 cases with over 25 - 30 stops. my route (also known as quitter's route bc long ass distance) is 40 - 60+ miles away so i have to get up an extra hour early otherwise i'll be fighting both traffic and explaining to my supervisor why i'm dead last. i do believe there are some favoritism going on..bc not every beer drivers get paid same. if you become a speed driver (forklift on back of trailer), they pay you by commission, not hourly, and get paid with base pay and by cases, one of my trainers make 6k a month easily. there's a guy that started as same time as me, and he was promoted almost right away in a short period of time while i'm stuck with this sh*tty route. but i'm trying to hold on a little while longer until i find a better job, even though bitter and tired and in physical pain, looking at EMTs and firefighters salary, i'm honestly shocked that i make more than them unless they have more years and overtime put in them. 

    i got all my endorsements this monday, hazmat, tanker, and double/triple trailer. i just need to get fingerprinted and have my background check for hazmat to be official. it could take 30 to 45 days until i can start looking for a hauling fuel job or anything related. i want to a haul milk tank lol..something that doesn't explode and kill you but nothing in my area that offers that job.  


  5. i have endorsements tests coming up next week for hazmat, tanker, and double triple. for hazmat and tanker i could get a job hauling fuel but it can be dangerous. one of my buddies from dr pepper is doing that now and is making 100k+ a year. and other coworker is doing a food service and making 90k+ a year. i have same experience as them but i'm still stuck at low entry level trucking job, it's frustrating and i'm 41 so it's really hard on my body to do extensive physical labor like these (beverage and food service). and i seem to have a bad luck getting hired somewhere else bc i applied for 3 companies and only 1 interview and 1 no call and 1 rejection email.  i don't want to do over the road where i'm out 2 - 3 weeks and come home for a couple days..that's no life at all. if i stick up for 8 more months and maybe i could get some real easy local jobs but it all depends on how i perform during their company's own road test. honestly i waited too long to get into this. i should have looked for a trucking job when i got my CDL. just regrets and rants now days. 


  6. he is so obsessed with elon musk i mean like wtf..i've been watching him when he did amber heard/johnny depp trial and that failed rings of woke power, but now this is like as if he is being paid to do stuff like this or he is out of his material. 


  7.  

    been doing this for 7 months now. >_< it's a miserable job with low pay but sometimes i like it especially when it's delivering to bars and restaurants. i'm with miller, not budweiser. anyway only good thing about it is the workplace is only 10 mins away so no matter how late i work, i still have time to eat shower sleep etc. 


  8. thanks! im on a little bit of spending spree right now lol. need to pause..soon ^_^; they send a technician to check first but it could take hours waiting if they are working on somebody else. both of my cases were dead batteries so it got resolved quickly. and ive seen trucks get towed back to the yard but i doubt theyll send another truck bc thatll take too much time. i was like 30 miles away when it happened but he was working on another truck nearby so he got to me less than an hour or so, so i was able to finish my route that day. but prior to that one it was really late in the afternoon when he fixed my truck so i didnt get to finish it.


  9. damn i remember this guy because he was fueding with other mukbang ytbers but he was like 100 lbs lighter. yt randomly recommned him again a year later and now he is huge and he is mentally falling apart wtf


  10. doing a lot of backing lately delivering to big supermarkets. confusing part is my assigned route and plastic pallets are not suited for them. store managers ask me why i didnt bring a (electric) pallet jack using wooden pallets, which would be super easier, and im as clueless as them. mostly i have to touch every case which sucks. its hard work but its okay. ever since pay changed to $25/h..i made $1,600 before tax last week only working 5 days. biggest truck i drove was 32ft tractor trailor. mostly i drive 26ft straight truck. sometimes 20 bay or step van depending on my route/stops. i even delivered to a childrens hospital which was very unusual. farthest ive gone out to was 50 miles away from warehouse, consists of 10-15 miles per stop, totalling 200+ miles by the time i finished. some of assigned trucks are breaking down a lot lately..already happened twice for me. it can be fun though, out there on my own and get to come home everyday. 


  11. i know haha..i dont feel the connection like i did with toonami’s sailor moon. but i manage to finish season 1 and i liked how they added queen barrell’s background story. i started season 2 but when rini pulled a pistol on sailor moon LOL im done. i think this is suppose to be close to manga or something but the flow of story is just too fast. little awkward even..hell, darian comes off as some kind of creep, even luna yelled at him to LEAVE SAILOR MOON ALONE because when she was unconscious, he tried to make out with her 😂 


  12. ppl are fed up with covid bs mandate. while US leaders and politicians wage war against front line workers by threatening their jobs and livelihood, large protests been broke out in europe and some parts of middle east over covid “green pass” imposed on them.

    showdown between police union and chicago mayor over vaccine mandate

    several states like oklahoma and texas fighting back.

    Almost all hdcp errors I've ever come across is because of the hdmi cable. Different hdmi cables are all different versions, they all look the same and none of them say what kind of hdmi cable they are printed on the actual cables. Kind of aggravating to me. I test hdmi cables with my ps4. I'll plug the ps4 into the TV with one cable, check to see if I can turn on HDR, if it works that cable is at least a hdmi 2 cable.

    welp, i finally got to it and it works on my 43” samsung with apple tv. but my 55” samsung connecting to pc doesnt. yt says id need hdmi splitter and thats like $30+ something dollars so meh ill pass. i mean if i play directly from tv itll display 4k..i just dont like to connect my tvs with internet access. 

    and i didnt know TCL made phones. their tv is great from what i can tell. i just got done setting it up..its called TCL A30 ($109) and it has like a 0 review frim amazon or anywhere else lol..but i took a risk and ordered it bc another one thats $89 more has great reviews called TCL 20se. what happened was i accidentally left my iphone 7 in a truck for about half an hour and it started showing temperature warning/error..since then its been acting weird. i reset it a couple times and didnt help. but updating it manage to fix a major glitch when making/during phone calls. but it froze when i was using apple map to get to DMV to renew my CDL license so its not reliable anymore. i do have a new iphone i bought last year but its $400 and i dont want to damage it or lose it. so far cheap TCL phone works. no problems yet. if it does well, ill might get that better version either TCL 20se or 20s, between $189~$250 range.

     


  14. 20 years and 2 Trillions later, we barely held them back. afghans have no chance. i dont blame afghans from abandoning their posts and running away. talibans basically beat two superpowers of modern world. what i dont like is biden, who is given a responsibility to pull out (trump’s deadline), is blaming everyone else but his failure to evacuate our allies and citizens safely. he was asked in july by reporters that same scenario and he was like, “nope, nothing like that would ever happen.” milks been spilled, yeah we cant go back and blame everyones thats involved but biden is just incompetent. just owe it up and make decision how to handle crisis. theres just no leadership and now all he does is run away from reporters. really pathetic


  15. they dont care about patients. if they do, they wouldnt be doing this. they closed down 3 emergency hospitals just yesterday. im literally scared of getting hurt. a guy was shot 6 times at kroger where i go buy groceries, no more than 2 miles away. that was like 2 weeks ago and he still is not allowed to get surgery. does that make sense to you? afraid to get sued from covid death but every other death is somehow protected? i had a customer who was a hit and run victim 2 years ago. they inserted a metal bar thing on his right arm and was suppose to take it out within 3 months, any longer than that he could get infection and without doctors clearance he cant get a job. when i quit my job in july, he still had his metal thing in his arm, with no job and no place to stay. his surgery is kept pushed back bc of covid, and now with hospitals closing down in houston, its a death sentence for him. man he used to work 7 days a week, a place to stay, now his health is deteriorating and homeless. all bc of flu that you dont even know you have it until you get tested? come on. and those nurses fought hard for patients when there were no masks left during 1st wave. back when everyone thought you could die 99% from it, later it was 99% survival rate. what my beef with them is they threw out those nurses like trash, who risked their LIVES for patients who didnt take care of themselves in the first place. why not seperate buildings for covid and noncovid patients only so only vaccinated nurses and doctors could treat covid patients and vise versa? or why not suit nonvaccined doctors and nurses up with hazmat uniforms and test them constantly like some states are doing to their police officers and military personnel?  no, lets just fire them all and close down hospitals. they protested for 2 months, man. at least hospitals could do is accommodated with their demands because they deserved it, not giving them ultimatum and then have no back up plan to fill those spots where they were needed. i wont be surprised if they start turning away unvaccinated patients because literally that was the reason those nurses got fired for. using that logic, every profession is at risk. i honestly would rather listen to doctors and nurses in their fields belive these experimental vaccines are unsafe than tv fake doctor like fauci or politicians who think they can be experts on anything they wished and telling everyone whats good for you. 


  16. doing beverage drop offs to stores. :D average of 15 - 20 stops, the recruiter told me my route will mostly be local gas stations and small convinient stores. i thought the job description said $67k annually but she told me its $200 per day Mon - Fri and ill might have to work saturday as well. so it depends on how much i work, not salary based. i kinda wanted to go with budweiser distributing company since i was also scheduled to do an interview with them but thats literally backbreaking work..maybe 5 years ago id have taken it, but right now i need to gain some driving experience 


  17. whats causing labor shortage after covid lockdown? unemployment checks can buy you some time but not a living expense so i dont think thats it..and ppl are finding new ways to be self employed and earning more than their previous shitty minimum wage so they have more time to spend w/ their families. i quit my job in july bc i got fed up with the owner and tried uber eats (some youtuber made $8,000 in one month). when that didnt work out i got a job at amazon prime warehouse while i applied for other jobs. 5 out of 7 companies i applied for responded me back for interviews. if this was 2 years ago i dont think i would get this many opportunities. either that or ppl have lost willing to work. in houston they fired hundreds of nurses bc they refused to get vaccinated, and then a week later hospitals declare nurse shortage and blamed it on increased delta patients wtf.


  18. how can he recover from this? he cant..15k+ americans trapped in kabul and all he can say is everyone around him appoved his decision. desperate ppl falling off from that plane became his legacy. make a decision, joe. get our citizens out of there. this quote from west wing stuck in my mind for almost 2 decades. each passing year, US is becoming less and less of what it use to be.

    “Did you know that two thousand years ago a Roman citizen could walk across the face of the known world free of the fear of molestation? He could walk across the Earth unharmed, cloaked only in the protection of the words civis Romanus -- I am a Roman citizen. So great was the retribution of Rome, universally understood as certain, should any harm befall even one of its citizens.” 


  19. hahaha recently finished this series. it was randomly recommended to me while watching Densha Otoko (another great J comedy drama). its only 12 eps. if you remember Helga’s obsession with arnold from nickelodean’s Hey Arnold! thats pretty much it. 🤣 except setting is in japanese office/work instead of school
