I'm grateful companies like yours exist.

Socialism is expressed in socialist policies in states in Europe too and while it certain somewhat increases the tax burden on society, it alleviates the grueling effects of wage slavery and lack of access to food, as well as in especially well developed cases, allowing for greater personal expression than can be true otherwise in capitalist settings.

I never understood the beef people have with taxes. How can an uncertain individual money supply be better and less anxiety inducing that knowing that you give most of your earnings away but are guaranteed certain essential things for a good quality of life?

Except of course that the tax burden falls disproportionately on the working class still, but that's another issue. In itself, taxes are amazing. Tax me hard big daddy.

100%. Back then I didn't know that, I assumed contacting the delivery service was the logical step. Some googling then showed me that was wrong and I should have contacted the company right away. But that wasn't even a thing I thought about googling - it seemed like the feud was with me and Hermes only.

But everyone, take notes.

I had that with a rather expensive parcel from Korea "delivered" by Hermes. They claimed it had been delivered to my post box - a small slit of an apartment building. There were skincare products inside and no way this would have fit in there.

Anyway, it was not there. I wanted to call them to ask about it and jfc it took me a labyrinth of automated answers in a chat bot to even get the number for customer service. Once I called them - same shenanigans. Robo answers, asking for the parcel number. It always ended with "it has been delivered to your post box. Thank you". Somehow, magically, I finally managed to talk to a person - after pressing a very specific combination of dials during the robo answers which I will never be able to reproduce - I explained them the situation, they said "uhum" (like a nod), started typing in silence, to then tell me "the parcel has been delivered to your post box" I am very glad this was a phone call because at that point I would have gotten violent.

I ended up asking the company I ordered from for help and they just resend the parcel. The missing parcel was never found and I hate hermes.

Oh that's a good one. It's one of the most depressing shows I've seen - and not sad depressing but enraging depressing.

Oddly enough, that is the only thing that makes the show somewhat realistic - everyone is a shit person and everyone's life is shit and going to be and stay shit.

That sounds like a nice cover version

Literally the first person I thought of when reading the title of this post

Dude I still try to fit everything into an overcrowded bus and carry it home from the bus station

We use the little mole for brushing teeth, but our kid is a bit younger. However, I don't remember a time in my life where I would not enjoy that little fella. You have videos from 5 (most) to 30 minutes (2) on youtube. There is no speech too.

I mean I guess that's what they referred to, some approximation, but it still breaks my brain every time I think about it

Just like I once watched a video titled something like "this boy did the unthinkable" and then he did something very thinkable (he just ate someone's face) and I am still mad about that

I remember reading he was one third German and sometimes I cannot sleep at night because I am trying to figure out the math. This has been like 15 years ago and it still bugs me.

Dude I was born in the early 90s and even I assumed "Pagers" was something I am not familiar with when I read the news. The name of a city? A guy? Some ethnic group? Some new military car? At some point I thought the news outlet just meant Prague (especially since I read it in German news first). I never would have guessed they literally meant pagers. Took me like 2 news report headlines and 4 mentions on lemmy to be like "oh wait what for real?!"
