so which one is pink? it is not gilmour because he was not there when it was first named and it was not klose because it was still named so when he left early and it was not barrett because he went mad and it still kept going and it was not waters when he thought the final cut was the end and it came back and it was not wright because he was not officially part of it when they made amlor so pink must be mason who was in the beginning till the end!

Best to address that question from a non-dual perspective. When you investigate more closely, you'll find that there is no Pink.

FTR I have never actually seen an Amazon delivery person so I don't know what they look like - just trying to evoke a generally fuzzy state of mind and an assortment of weird habits born of isolation and boredom, and exaggerating for effect.
I do feel like I'm sleepwalking a bit, and slipping from paths of righteousness and healthy community-oriented living into dissolution and decay. Many people I know are expressing similar sentiments, though they would definitely not choose the same specifics.

idk I mean I usually saw the Amazon trucks but rarely saw the people emerge from them until recently, because we have a hub where they drop packages in our apartment complex.
as opposed to UPS drivers, who I have been seeing run like they have hemorrhoids to drop off packages since childhood.
― they were written with a ouija board and a rhyming dictionary (Neanderthal), Friday, 7 January 2022 16:45 (two years ago) link
Okay. I mean, I look out on the porch and there's a package there. I didn't see it arrive, so I don't know who brought it.
Of course I see people delivering things out in the world. I just don't know who brought my specific things to my specific doorstep; I don't see any humblebrag or elitism in that.

I was mostly joking but ...
1. you have a porch2. you live somewhere where packages can be left and you don't have to worry about security/theft3. you have a significant amount of space between other dwellings such that the frequency of deliveries to your neighbors isn't obvious to you

Feel like I have seen more Amazon delivery people in the past two years than ever before because I've gone on a lot of walks around my (urban) neighborhood. They're everywhere.
― jaymc, Friday, 7 January 2022 17:10 (two years ago) link
could be some regional variation here if "Amazon delivery person" specifically means Prime delivery not just UPS/FedEx/some other contractor. When I was in Chicago in November I was shocked at how many Prime vans there were, I would often see them in twos or even threes (xp with jaymc!)--it felt mildly dystopian since I also ended up going to Whole Foods a couple of times. They are much rarer in Montreal; I only really noticed them on the street in the immediate run-up to christmas.
One of the ways I feel very Canadian is that I am very fond of my regular Canada Post worker (among other reasons: she delivers govt weed to my door), though um not in a creepy way I swear

does Canada Post still handle Amazon in your area? they lost the contract a while ago.

No, we don't use it much, but when we do it tends to be Purolator that handles delivery (often arriving at insane even undesirable times like Sunday 9am). Not sure if that company exists outside of QC?
Maybe worth mentioning that Amazon is simply less useful in Canada, or at least it was when I moved here in 2014 and dropped Prime. I try not to use it because I hate them so bad, but sometimes you are basically forced to, like right now I need replacement filters for the de-lead-ing water filter the city gave me (lmao) and they are only available on Amazon afaict
