I have. CP's response was the absolutely absurd "we do not require couriers to deliver packages provided to them for delivery." My flabbers were legitimately ghasted at that response, and is when I completely gave up on them ever becoming a legitimate or remotely reliable delivery service.

Honestly, to this very day, I still struggle to wrap my head around the idea of a business that, as a matter of policy, do not require their employees to do the work they hired them to do.

I do avoid them as much as possible, including paying extra to use alternative shipping. Sometimes there is no other option if a vendor will only ship with CP. Even then, I'll typically try to find a different vendor for what I need.

Tyranny. I mean, you could end up being the good guy, depending on what that means to you, but you start leading an army to conquer part of the world at the behest of Kyros the Overlord. I think I would classify Kyros as a sort of Lawful Evil type. He seems to want to bring peace and order to the world, but chooses to do it through conquest and harshly enforced laws.

What do you mean "planning" to. They've refused to deliver packages for nearly a decade at this point. Oh sure, they'll say they'll deliver, but they never do, just a note telling you to go do their job for them. Literally the only delivery company that has this issue with my place.

If all your neighbors shoot themselves in the face, it's not your fault they did that.

Right? Like, I love GoG. If I'm able to get something on GoG I typically will, even if it means paying a higher price to do so. But that's definitely not because it's a better platform to use. It's because I appreciate their stance on DRM and support for keeping old games playable on new systems. I buy from them despite GoG Galaxy, not because of it.

As a woman, I think if men have to, we should have to as well. That said, I also don't think men should have to in the first place. If you can't generate enough popular support for your war to get people to volunteer, then your war can get fucked.

I suspect things would get interesting when you piss a shit ton of people off and then give them automatic weapons and explosives... Where do you think "fragging" came from?

Oh thank god! Until you said that I was 90% sure the end times were here! Now back down to a comfy 88% :)

Run by, or are downstream of ones run by.
