I used to refer to (American) society as "the game" when I was a teenager. "Fuck the game," I would think to myself. It is a competitive game that we are all stuck in whether we want to play or not. Pretty much all societal problems stem from this competitive aspect. People who have more than they can use still want more. People who don't have enough to play should be removed. We can't agree on anything universal because somebody will end up with a better deal than me. We have to focus on those that we are out competing (poor) to maintain our egos. Those above us are off limits to our judgement because they place higher. It's just a fucking game that we invented, but for most of us, it causes more harm than good.

Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.
