  1. I just read a toot about Trump, I finally figured out what the #FOAD hashtag means! Gods, I'm slow!

  2. Jebus, just got this email from #Uber. The bloody cheek.

    Note the only problem with my "payment methods" was that UberEats took my money, their driver didn't bother to come to my street, much less my house, and 3 of their support agents said yes, I deserved a refund, and no, they couldn't give me one unless I used the Uber App on the cellphone that I do not own to request it -- even though I'd paid through their website.

    I half want to check what they actually did - but I don't have an "account". I made one transaction, and they screwed it up.

    Still waiting to see if my credit card dispute of the charges goes through.

  3. Getting emails from Google to my GMail that say "This message was sent to you because you signed up to use Gemini" in the footer and… LIKE FUCK I DID 😡

  4. Today's #Kafkaesque #nightmare: #Uber #Eats.

    I ordered & paid through the website. Half an hour later, it said the order was delivered, but their driver never came to my street.

    Self-help support told me to request a refund through the Uber Eats app.

    Problem: I don't own a cell phone.

    Chat #support agreed the driver did not follow procedures and I needed a #refund. Told me to use the app to request a refund. I can't! No matter how I explained, he just said (paraphrased) "too bad" until he ended the chat.

    I used the "No, you didn't solve the problem" survey option. Second rep did exactly the same as the first. I asked to please escalate, there must be a way for me to get a refund, since I was able to pay in the first place. Rep just repeated "use the app" and ended the chat.

    "No, you didn't solve the problem" again. Third rep, same as the first. Asked for #escalation, he said they can't do that. Here is his last reply, exact quote, before he ended the chat:

    > At the chat department, we do not have an escalation mechanism in our system
    > to connect to our next level and I will be your last level of support.
    >
    > I have already gone the distance that I could. I wish you didn't have to go through
    > this. Our goal is to resolve every issue; however, we have to make sure it always
    > follows our guidelines. I may need to end the chat now. Keep safe. Feel free to
    > contact us via the Help section of the app. Thank you for contacting Support.

  5. I've been getting a lot of weird "domain as a URL" requests for flyriver.com. Decided to look it up and… I'm confused.

    Their site says "Is your site being used by AI Generators?" but then it also says "Or, generate an exact article based on your query:"

    The former seems like an "is your content getting ripped off?" question, but then the second bit is "hey, want to rip off other people's content?" 🧐

  6. "Stop assuming people will find you. We deliver your ad where it guaranteed to be seen - via website contact forms, just like this message."

    Yeah, and that's why I'm blocking you 😒 #FOAD #spam
