At Old Kinderhook! Any recommendations on low-key nature trails or views that may be hidden gems? We love a good skyline.

They saved me from Hulk Smashing my poor work phone at least a dozen times yesterday lmao. They have soooooo many stank face moments in their entire catalog. ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

Don't sleep on them. They are very good. S++++++ tier metalcore. Every release is gas. I love them so much lol. Now to catch them live 🤔

And I am fully prepared to cry like a little girl when they close with Minuscule. That song has done so many things for me. Above all, helping me grasp my Father's cancer the first time he had it.

I have been wanting to see the boys in Belmont ever since I discovered them driving home from a tooth extraction a few years ago lmao. First song I ever heard was Pushing Daisies and I fell in love at first listen!

See y'all on the 24th of September!

She just lost one of her oldest friends. Not to death or anything like that, but because her friend is petty and doesn't know how to be considerate of others feelings.

So, Omaha, where does a 30 year old Female with BPD who does NOT drink go to make friends? Honest, compassionate friends. Not fake, cruel or heartless friends.

I love going to concerts but she doesn't due to her BPD and being over stimulated easy! Any suggestions?

Edit: She does not like playing video games. Her interests include: watching TV, doing crafts (mainly diamond paintings), table top boardgames and hanging out in nature.

I'll start with mine. Every Time I Die's Radical.

SPARE ONLY THE ONES I LOVE

SLAY THE REST

sick as fugg riff ensues

Extra points for sick riffs after a dope opening line. I plan on making a playlist from all the responses!

After going through my 6th Prime Days this year, I would say I have garnered a treasure trove of information on how to stay cool in the 100°+ F heat. I will start with the obvious ones for the sake of the post and get into some more personal tips that have help me become more acclimated to the heat. Most of this advice will apply to EVs since that's the majority of the fleet nowadays and that's what I drive everyday (unless I'm doing recycled routes or I'm training for the day). It's pretty simple to stay cool in a gas van all day - don't shut it off, period. If your DSP rides your ass about running the AC all day on heat that's dropping homeless people like flies (a postal carrier dropped dead last year from the heat for frame of reference), it's time to reconsider the DSP you work for.

1. Start with as much sleep as you need to be well rested. It varies by person. For me it's usually 6.5-7. A well rested body performs better when under stress, and the way some of of the DAs from the South make it sound, they are under stress for the better part of half a whole ass year. Eating big meals a couple hours before bed is also important for having a well nourished and rested body to take on the heat.

2. Water, water, water. It's a broken record or beating a dead horse with a stick if you will. The body is made up of 60% water on average for adults. If you aren't drinking at least 6 bottles of water/day (double that for days such as aforementiond, to quote a past chiropractor of mine, "your muscles will be beef jerky."

3. Electrolyte infused drinks are vital to staying hydrated. There's a reason why Gatorade says, "hydrates better than water" on their bottle labels. It's true, but only during long intense workouts (I joke that our job is the best workout on planet earth, unless you're an Olympian or the Olympians personal trainer). We get a $20-to-start Sam's Club membership through ADP if you can't afford Gatorade or Body Armor. Gatorade is technically the better brand named electrolyte infused drink when compared to Powerade (which is shite. my dad worked for Pepsi for the majority of my childhood and I'll be a Pepsi stan til the grave lmao). The 24 packs at Sam's usually run about the same price for Gatorade and Powerade. Gatorade has more electrolytes infused into it while Powerade opts for more sweetener to make them taste, well, sweeter.

4. Take your breaks. The packages will be delivered the next day if you don't finish your route because the heat is making you drag ass for most of the day. One of my managers at my first station always used to say, "guys and gals, they're just packages. you can always deliver them tomorrow." There is no shame in running from a battle you know you cannot win.

5. Park in shaded areas. It helps even if you will be there for less than 60 seconds. You will notice the steering wheel is a whole lot less, "OOOOH HOT!" when you touch it after getting in the van after an extended apartment or business stop. It especially helps on breaks but more on that later.

6. Bring a cooler from home (I use a cheap one my dad gave me. they don't make 'em like they used to), freeze a couple water bottles the night before work, and put them in the bottom of the cooler. I usually give one to a fellow courier on the road (usually a poor sucker in the LLVs for the USPS). This provides both a nice way to keep your other drinks cool for the day and a steady source of cold water if you put it back into the cooler after taking a drink from it. You can buy a couple of cooling towels from Sam's while you're there picking up Gatorade or Body Armor. If you can't find any cooling towels, fiber cloths work pretty good but not as well as cooling towels. The warehouse hands cooling towels out a couple times (usually during predicted hotter than Satan's taint outside days) during the summer months. Anywho, put your towels for cooling you on top of the frozen water bottles then dump a little bit of water (not much is necessary, about a quarter to a third of bottle of water should do the trick) into the cooler. You can use one at a time if you're feeling overwhelmed by the heat. They work best with hats (particular bucket hats). Ring a little bit of the water out, then put it under your hat (it's pretty self explanatory lol), and this is usually enough to cool me off if I'm ever feeling overwhelmed by the heat.

Onto the more unorthodox methods I have learned over the years of baking in the back of a Promaster for the better part of three years. These will not be fun or ideal to implement all at once so choose one at a time lmao (I recommend starting with #2), I don't include #4 in the gauntlet of learning to become better acclimated to the heat because is merely a piece of clothing that you will alter if you don't own the necessary clothing already.

1. Instead of blasting the AC all day and draining your EV battery and having to charge after route (or worse, having your van day on the way back to the station), you can open up the driver window (right after you leave the station) and open the side door (if you're comfortable with it on the interstate otw to first stop) as soon as you get off the interstate. This helps you become more acclimated to the heat as your body gets used to the heat with only having wind cool you down.

2. On your breaks instead of blasting the AC for 15-30 minutes straight and draining 3-8 miles of your battery, find a nice shaded area (that will last for the entirety of your break, old ass oak trees are the best for this), put her in park, open up your window and ALL of the doors including the back cargo door, and pop a squat at the back of the cargo door and watch the wind work it's magic. Its potency is doubled in a well shaded area.

3. This one is not going to be fun (baking in the back of a Promaster for the better part of 3 years allowed me to skip this step, but I am able to do both of these things with relative ease). If you have access to a sauna (most gyms have saunas you can use, some fancier apartment complexes also have them), sit in that sumbitch on the lowest setting and work your way up over the course of a month or so. If you don't have access to a sauna, a boiling lava hot shower is just as good if not better because you're more comfortable being in a familiar setting (this method is easier to make you pass out tho, so keep a cold bottle of water on you at all time if you're crazy enough to try this method lmao).

4. You can cut up shirts to make a makeshift tank top. I call them, "cut offs." If you already own tank tops, great. If you are like me and were overweight before starting this job then odds are you don't own anything that shows off your body (and that's okay. no shame in being a little chonky).

Let me know if I missed any of the obvious ones or if you guys have any unorthodox methods for managing the stifling heat lmk down 👇

Mine is a band. Every Time I Die is the only reason I didn't crash TF out lmaooo. I channel my rage through the music I listen to and these fellas are very very verrrrrrry good at doing that for me lmao. It's a shame they aren't a band anymore and their members that are still in groups together just don't ETID quite right.

What is posicore you may ask? Thick, chonky major chord progressions that sound, well, positive. Pennyweight by After the Burial is the prime example of posicore. Other examples would be Ikigai by vianova and Past Life Persona by Erra.

So leave those posicore songs and/or artists down 👇

Edit: I'm not looking for Posicore lol forgive my ignorance I'm looking for major chord progressions that sound like Pennyweight by ATB.

My vote goes to Knock Em Down. So. freaking. funny.

"it was a Michael's and you know it, you son of a bitch!"

​

"I come here, you make me gay, now I have a boyfriend. All of these lies just for a trophy?

​

Yes.

​

I respect that" lmaooooo

Was exactly what I needed. There was yet to be an album of ass beater after ass beater after ass beater after ass beater after ass beater. Check them out if you're unfamiliar with their work.

I can confirm. Got the Kvohstov catalyst from an exotic order a couple hours ago. Attrition Orbs. This is now singlehandedly the funnest gun in the game lmao. Especially with my 200 weapons Warlock build.

My car needed an oil change and I saw that they were offering them starting at $25 on an online ad. So I made an appointment there. Little did I know that was not true. The fella calls me and says it's going to be $100.22. That made me unhappy. I show up there this morning to get my car, and they try handing me the wrong key. That's fine, but who I assume to be whoever they chose to be in charge of that establishment comes out and tries handing me the wrong key AGAIN! Like I don't know what my fucking keys look like so this causes me to become unhinged and cause a scene lmaooooo.

If you're in this sub, sorry about that, but come the fuck on, I know what my keys look like.

Overall: Will not be returning there for service for the lack of accurate advertising and also their incompetence when it comes to taking care of their guests.

My wife signed up for their safety class to get her ticket dismissed. She forgot to write down what time and what date the class is and she's having issues finding information on their website. Would anyone in here happen to know when and where the next class is? Thanks in advance!
