  1. 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.
  2. 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 😂

    2020s Predictions?

    its bad when ppl from other countries start chanting lets go brandon..
  4. 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.
  5. is this it? lol. its called crystal when i was randomly browsing netflix yesterday and started watching. story seems to go fast but i dont mind i already know what happens. EDIT: my bad!! i only looked page 1. i didnt know it came out in 2014.
  6. 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.
  7. is this where mary jane disappers into a different dimension? i think i remember watching a cartoon of that. i havent watched spiderman since to toby mcguire was in it though. too many reboots and sequels hard to keep up x_x

    2020s Predictions?

    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
  9. 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.
  10. doing beverage drop offs to stores. 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
  11. 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.

    2020s Predictions?

    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.”
  13. 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
  14. ^ i got my CDL as a backup and now im using it holding onto it for 5 years was a waste. i shouldve looked harder for trucking jobs but God is good. i got hired by Dr Pepper!! 🎉 🎈 🎊 im just waiting for my background & drug test results. starts next month!! right now im watching trucking related youtube videos to refresh my memory. and bought PXN steering/clutch pedals to play American Truck Simulator rotfl so i can practice and be ready 🤣
  15. either way is fine for me but i prefer: pc for rpg, fps, and turn based strategy games and console for mostly action games or games that my pc cant handle. plus some of my all time fav games arent available on consoles anyway. and never really liked online/multiplayer games bc yes ppl do cheat. and finding a good server can be a such a task. i just dont like competitive games period, i just want to set everything on easy and just relax playing as a single player mode lol.
  16. never been a big fan of sony products but i was surprised my bro’s ps2 still works, it must be over a decade old, but its one of those slim designs that overheats so fast. ive heard same complaints about ps4 slim for ages and i would avoid those slim consoles, including switch, in the near future as well. ps3 however seldomly freezes so i havent really got into playing it that much but recently my main gameplay focus has shifted to pc games so its not a big lose for me if ps5 fails this early. what im afraid of is if i decide to invest fully on getting ps5 games and then it quits on me then id be really pissed.

    dead classmates?

    meh it was just so random, avoidable death..yesterday one of long time regular customers died suffering from a punctured lung. his friend said he had an old wound, and when he fell down one of his ribs pierced through. thats what they suspected bc he had hard time breathing but ended up being true. when he fell on the floor for the second time trying to open a soda bottle i guess it made it worse. but he just refused to go to hospital and his friend made him go after 2nd day as he was suffering. but it was too late, just one day in hospital and hes gone. bled internally and probably poisoned his body. he was around 60, had bad knees bc he did constructing jobs carrying heavy stuff when he was young..and his adult children dont even care i hear. he recently bought a van from his friend with his 3rd stimulus check and he was pretty happy about it. just stupid things that make us happy you know..he was waiting for it to get titled in his name so he can start driving but that never happened. his doc told him to stop smoking and drinking for several years now but he couldnt cut his bad habits and he thought thats what was gonna get him in the end but then this happens. he always called me timonthy because tim rhymed with my last name lol. gonna miss that. bleh. RIP david. whats more sad is his survivng friend lost another roomate this year, fell down breaking his right shoulder during winter storm and he never recovered from that.
  18. it seems to have a major problem for some that it wont turn on. reading their comments its disappointing. lucky i didnt find any problems yet (execpt sound glitch for tsushima i mentioned). so i finally retired ps4 and playing ps5 for several hours now. my brother forgot to give me ps5 controller cable but i still can play with ps4 controller so its okay so far. i have chivalry for ps 5 its multiplayer game but i need ps plus it seems so im not paying for that extra shit lol..money wasted
  19. maybe thats why its so cheap lol. i saw outlaw star in hd is under $8.00 too, not bad. hmm i just checked funimation website/app. too bad it only has 14 day free trial and its asking me to sign up or something. perhaps if i sign up i can still watch it for free. hey i see wolfs rain. definitely gonna watch that 😛 ill check discovery+ as well later. i like watching lions and whales on tv playing as background. kinda have soothing effect on me 😌
  20. finally tried tubitv. it has some good selections of movies and some old animes. not too many ads, maybe once every half an hour. i was watching cowboy bebop with it but its sub only so i headed to amazon to see if prime has it and it seems like its having an error or something. one hd episode is $3.99 but the entire hd season is just a buck more at $4.99 LOL. i purchased it just incase it corrects itself later. i checked other stream anime series and they are at $30 ~ $50 range so somebody definitely f’ed up hehe. also trying to watch gundam wing on youtube but no dub..:( i dont mind sub but i dont just sit and watch the whole thing anymore so i dont have time to read them while they play. but yeah cowboy bebop entire hd season at amazon for $4.99. 👍
  21. its divided with 5 or 6 short stories. i only watched the first one bc it had anne hathaway in it and it was interesting. unlike frequency, even if you correct or screw up the past, you can still exist in a changed future timeline, but this one you can jeopardize your whole existence by doing so. yt recommended this out of nowhere and i must have read the title wrong when i click to watch thinking this was xena’s 25th anniversary special episode i was like WOW they havent aged that much..maybe little wrinkle here and there..LOL. then i read the description and this was xena season 5. i ended up watching 3 more episodes involving joxer and eve and battle with gods. i dont remember any of this..i think i stopped watching xena after like season 3 back in the day. fighting was somewhat goofy but back then it seemed really good lol i rewatched it after decade plus later. still a good horror movie. jill wagner’s acting was really good, i always wondered why her career didnt take off after this as she was already popular with mercury car commercials and as a host of wipeout. nice blending of old horror movie with todays modern technology but sadly it wasnt scary at all.
  22. hes well off even without foodstamp lol (hes the one who sold me gold watches) but yeah he did slow down and now he is saying its a 2 time thing and he’ll know for sure by tomorrow 9th, thats when he gets another fs fund. oh and i got a jury duty summon letter last week and it states that i have to wear a mask although TX gov banned mandated mask orders. no one knows whats going on it seems. its more of 50% ppl who wear them and 50% who do not. one weird thing about the letter is that i have to register to get a court date and it gave me a deadline of 7 days to reply starting the day i recieved it. but how the hell would they know i recieved the letter and if i dont register, how are they going to give me a court date? lol. all the previous summons gave me court dates, but now they are asking me to do it for them. ill ignore this one. if they send me another letter theatening with a fine like last time then yeah maybe ill respond
  23. ill just post thing i watched recently ..available to watch free if you have amazon prime. the father is stupid and got a huge ego refusing to get help from anyone wtf. his family suffers bc of him. still a good movie. listed as “homeless” on amazon lol..half of the movie started out like some kinda lifetime domestic abuse movie and the next half is two main characters just tripping out on some meth. i thought it was gonna be ashley judd’s double jeopardy 2 but man i was wrong it was good. everyone on board thinks shes crazy and says she boarded a plane alone but she believes she had a daughter with her and needs to find her before the plane lands.
