My 24yo son moved back in with me. He thinks he should pay nothing since he's my son. I told him 750 for everything. Meals, bills etc.

Is this too much for a kid that takes home 1k a week?

That is way more than fair. It's less than 25% of his income, and I'm willing to bet his meals are cooked for him. As an exercise, have him do a search to see what kind of place he can get for $500. The additional $250 is food, utilities, and the like. He'll be pretty shocked. And thinking he can just move home and live for free is not the actions of a 24 year old man.

Whenever my kids are home and working (summers right now) they pay (very little. $300/month). I have an account for each of them. All of their "rent" money goes into it, and when they get to a point where they're going to buy their own place, they get it all back. I started charging rent once they were 18 and had a job. By the time they are at a point where they're looking to buy, there will probably be around $5K in their account, and they will get it all as a bonus when they buy a place. Imagine how nice it would have been when you bought a house to get $5K in cash.

Amazon prime has a scanner bar (whatever the fuck it is called) on their commercials so if you scan with your phone it will add it to your Prime cart.

I run an old gaming PC on my big screen, and if you watch Prime Video on, say, Firefox + uBlock Origin, you get zero ads.

When I get handoffs to do tasks at work, I've only ever asked for and needed one thing: just ping me in the relevant Slack channel and boom, it'll get done. So I get my ping, ping tells me to go read an email (which I don't even need to do because the ping already tells me exactly what I need to do), I acknowledge the ping, and still get another email responding to the email that they told me to read asking if I can do the thing in the email. Yes, you fucking twat, and I'd already be fucking working on it if you weren't spamming me with shit you want me to read receipt in three different fucking places. I have fucking eyes and I can fucking read.

If it helps to temper the rage a bit, just imagine how many times your colleagues did their three confirmations and still didn't do the task. As much as I hate this type of thing, people don't get trained into that behavior in a vacuum.

The worst was when that team first took over. So once I finished my tasks, I did my usual shit where I go to the project specific channel in Slack and ping the relevant people and say shits ready. Well no, they can’t go off that. They are incapable of doing anything until they get an email. So I sent the relevant person an email. Wasn’t good enough either as I didn’t also include some other mailing list. At this point they know my shit is done, they know it’s ready, but they are literally begging me in both email and Slack to just please send the correct email so they can work on the project and that the deadline now rests on me sending that fucking email. Fucks sake, they probably can’t get dressed in the morning without a fucking handoff email.

I live across the US from what is left of my family. Because of distance + stupid weather we get our Xmas shopping for them out of the way. I sent a package to them via USPS. Today is when it was supposed to be delivered. It's in Memphis TN. They live in NC , there is 0% chance it's getting delivered today. I paid $120.00 to send it.

So Tuesday had a person have their email compromised after clicking on a random link that asked them to login to their o365 email. Cant entirely fault them as the email came from a vendor who had their own email compromised we routinely get emails from.

Well today another person calls me over asking me about a weird email. Potential vendor who we are having come out and take a look at our infrastructure sent them an email just containing a "voicemail". Look at it and its another phishing link asking you to put in your o365 credentials.

Fucking vendors man.

Good luck finding them though. Let's just say there's shitloads of companies with various promises and certifications that are all on paper.

Just got a third phishing email from a compromised vendor. This time it came from a very trusted and "reliable" vendor.

Wife job nearly got a $400k wire pwned but bank bounced it for some reason. The owner is great about clicking every email. They went on and were filtering out half her emails to him etc and had sent new wiring instructions right before money was to be sent to them because they were just reading his emails for a few weeks.

If course in the aftermath he's just like huh ok. and probably continuing to do the same dumb shit

So to update. Since it's now 2 days since it was supposed to be delivered and there has not been a detailed update since the 5th , I called for all the good it did. Fought AI until I got a person that gave me their sincere apology. I said I didn't care about empty platitudes I needed to know where my package was. Well ms dindu got offended and did the woman 'if you will let me finish' move. I'm married so I know that move = silence so it pisses them off. They didn't have any more info than I can get off the website so FYI don't bother calling. So since she was offended anyhow I decided to just set that fucking bridge on fire and opened my bag o' bad words, called her a worthless whore and hung up on her.

Still don't know where my fucking package is. Or when it will get where it's supposed to be, and one of the items was the collector 60's batman Lego (brother loves batman) which is 100% sold out so even if they finally admit it's lost and give us our $100 in insurance (wife didn't increase it to the $300 it all cost) I'll have to deal with a scalper to get another one. Pointless because I need the USPS to admit they lost the fucking thing to even proceed.

It's pretty clever. After my adventure with calling the worthless ass USPS this morning I got a text stating my package could not be delivered and I needed to provide updated info, just click on shadyassscamwebsite.com.io.net.spam and enter all your info. The fact that I still have 2 brain cells and that it came from a Texas area code made me immediately move it to spam. My phone came from Verizon and I used their message+ client , didn't have this garbage until they retired it and we went to google messages.

Welp I was going to react with 'truth' but in yet another wtf decision, it's not an option in this thread?!
Unfortunately I cannot drive until the 22nd so I cannot just go do it myself and must depend on the wife. She has a post office very near her job and she thought she was doing me a solid. At this point it is what it is.
