Mine was a few days ago, I don’t really have any tips except try and talk to people. They act extra nice when they find out it’s your birthday and that’s kinda nice. I can say or do weird shit and they give me more grace than usual.

The warehouse I work at hasn’t started using robot labor to replace humans on the floor yet thanks to the Unions, but they switched 4PL providers to one that uses some robot thing for load planning and it’s been a nightmare.

"made in china is garbage!!" no, they just keep all the good shit they make and send the slop to the piggies in c/[email protected]

I really miss ordering the nice stuff direct from factories in China. Things like fountain pens, pencils, other art supplies I use, got a nice watch, etc.

Even with tariffs there are things I’m willing to pay +145% on because I already thought it was ridiculous the quality for price I could find compared to the other crap out there. Like my watch; 80 bucks, would turn into a little over 200 I think, and that’s still almost 300 less than an equivalent European made watch with the exact same movement and similar case materials.
