iso "Starter kit"/debut tips

I've recently discovered this community and hyped to get started. Definitely aware it's a game of persistence and probability.

I've tried looking up the strategy for sweeping, if someone has a video on the best practices I'd be appreciative. Have seen pics of the extendable squeegee but not sure how effective it is. Fully aware that you kinda have to kill your pride and just get down and sweep despite the weird looks.

Also, are some of you outright asking the managers to open 'er up on the occasional? Seems like a lot of the good stuff would fall thru so if that's the best way to do it, I just might try.

Open to any thoughts in general for someone getting started. I'm coming here from the metal detecting community so this is a great crossover

Postal Influencer/PR/Personality

Cheers,

I'm a 29yrold man and back when I was out of high school, the idea of being an influencer or social PR wasn't mainstream nor feasible when it came to making a living. I never fully pursued anything like that headlong, just making music and videos for fun and I was good at it. I also liked sending letters and later dropped out of college to join the postal service.

Although I know in a deterministic way that I wouldn't know what I know now amd how my course of life got me here, I wish I could've gotten that head start on some sort of influencer venture. So a few months ago, I started a music channel under the alias Handsome Mailman. Having been a real mailman for over 2 years, I really love the job but it was too dangerous at times and it naturally is a horrible job for someone who loves travel.

I'm currently trying to think of ways to get some visibility and traction. Positive social stunts like interviewing other postal workers, making videos about postal history and telling stories about deliveries, etc. Been trying different things but really wonder what could really get me some traction.

Basically, I want to be a postal hero and shine light on how amazing mail is and those who push it. I want to get others excited about it, not exactly sure yet how to get there. Here's a song short I made, this is part of my style and aspect; a humble working-class postman trying to make it in a world of extreme capitalism.

any thoughts, postal friends?

Pardon if this post has been brought up before.

I know most here are diehard fans, I too am since 2012-13. The anime,eurobeat, I'm a certified lonely driver and I get off to some of those m.o.v.e tracks. So I gotta ask and get the consensus...

What in the literal hell was the deal with the initial D ending? Take fights every boss in the game, the stakes exponentially rising, peaking to fight the ultimate driver, only to battle a kid who just 5 minutes before the race wasnt sure if he liked cars. Make or whoever was chatting with him on the streetside and suddenly he decides he's motivated and magically inserts himself in the qualifying lineup to fight Fujiwara? All other opponents had years of street cred, and he just gets to fight the best? Does the millionth DMV customer who passes their driver's test get to race in the Indy 500 against Danica Patrick or something? I never understood this, and despite yet a satisfying ending, I could never understand why this was scripted. Does everyone else feel the same way? please
