#kafkaesque #secu Ma chérie va pour se faire faire des lunettes. Ah, problème, vous n'avez pas de droits sur votre mutuelle... Étrange, on a une mutuelle pour toute la famille, assez chère mais qui prend bien en charge. Le problème : on a aussi été affilié à la Complémentaire santé solidaire. Sans avoir jamais rien demandé. Probablement sans y avoir droit par ailleurs. Et alors que l'obtenir quand on y a droit peut relever du parcours du combattant... Le suite ameli.fr est un purge... Bref.😮‍💨

🚀 Oh no, Roland went on a digital safari and came back to find his domain turned into a #Kafkaesque #GitHub melodrama! 🤦‍♂️ Spoiler: his VR page was so cutting-edge, it attracted a new owner without his knowing. Maybe next time, Roland should leave his DNS settings in a safer place than his suitcase. 🧳🔍

Today, let’s learn a word used for situations that feel strange, confusing, and impossible to make sense of https://english.mathrubhumi.com/features/books/word-of-the-day-may-09-kafkaesque-meaning-pronunciation-synonyms-examples-x18c7ofi?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #WordOfTheDay #Vocabulary #English #Kafkaesque #Franz_Kafka

"České bankomaty účtují za výběr peněz poplatek přes 4 tisíce korun[…]4 250 korun"—"Chtěla vybrat 1000 euro,ale ve skutečnosti jí bylo z účtu strženo 1175 euro,což je téměř pětina z celého výběru.Přitom při výběru se jí zobrazoval poplatek za výběr 3 eura"—"Platíte i jen za to,že stisknete tlačítko Hotovost a zůstatek,a poté se rozhodnete vše stornovat"—"Po následném kontaktování banky,u které měla paní kartu,bylo paní doporučeno,aby kontaktovala provozovatele bankomatu[…]Paní tedy kontaktovala provozovatele na doporučení své banky.Na infolince jí však bylo sděleno,že[…]jistě šlo o dodatečnou konverzi ze strany banky,u které má paní konto a že ji tak vlastně její banka oklamala.Taková odpověď nedává ovšem smysl.Následně byla paní odkázána,aby se v případě reklamace obrátila na svou banku,kde jí bylo řečeno,že vyřešit celou situaci může trvat i měsíc."

Řešení je jednoduché:nepoužívat karty a používat hotovost,kterou člověk vybere přímo na přepážce.Toto je dle mého názoru důvod,proč vlády a jejich lobbyisti chtějí zrušit hotovost:aby mohli vydírat přemrštěné výpalné za běžný život občana.

@fabio Also due to these regulations I cannot buy antibiotic ointment when the Czech regime is depriving me of healthcare when I have an infected eczema and am afraid it will produce sepsis and I die, because antibiotic ointment ran out and when I call a dermatologist and tell I need it urgently she gives me an appointment 4 months (!!!) in the future!

In a corrupt developing 3rd world dictatorship Cambodia it is possible to buy antibiotic ointments without prescription and also dermatologist wait there is only 7-10 days, not 4 months.

Oh! Children and teenagers in swimwear is now sexual abuse material! So I guess now you can go to jail for making a photo of your own children on a beach, or making a selfie on a beach or at a swimming pool where random children or teenagers are running around in the background!

"Pictures of teenage girls and children were altered to show them wearing swimwear, leading experts to say some of the content could be categorised as child sexual abuse material."

The Guardian, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jan/10/elon-musk-uk-free-speech-x-ban-grok-ai

Maybe it's purpose is an excuse so that police can freely, frivolously, arbitrarily and wantonly break into anyone's home and rob them of their essential documents, phones and computers to intimidate them away from criticizing the government or living a nonconformist lifestyle?

@statsguy It's a government, a bureaucracy, it doesn't have a morality compass. As with all bureaucracies if it can target compliant people / easy to deal with people it will do so over actual violent thugs because it makes bureaucrats feel like they are doing something to justify their paycheck whilst dealing with people who aren't going to fight back. Much easier for them to be dealing with Palestine Action than to be dealing with ISIS

You haven't experienced the full brunt of the health insurance insanity in the US until you've had to buy insurance from a marketplace.

If you don't need medical care, ever, then it is easy to figure out what to buy.

However, if you are a real person, who does need medical care, then you need a fucking crystal ball.

I currently have a plan. It works well for me. Is it expensive? Yes. But if I switch plans, there's no telling how much I'm going to have to pay under the new plan. The estimates presented by the marketplace are for textbook cases. I'm not a textbook care, and have never been a textbook case.

Yes, I looked at my EOBs... what my insurance pays is based on a discount they've negotiated... What's to say that the next insurance company is going to have as good or better a discount?

It's shit.

Complete and utter shit.

Insanity on a gigantic scale.

After suffering a disastrous outcome in Canada's most recent federal election, #Canada 's supposedly 'left-wing' political party, the NDP, is currently holding a leadership contest.

#YvesEngler , an author and activist who speaks truth to power, announced months ago that he would run for the leadership of the NDP. Since then, his campaign has raised over $110,000 and has generated excitement around the country with its #propeace and #anticapitalist platform.

Despite surging, grass roots support for Yves' candidacy, the #NDP brass just rejected his application to be approved as a leadership candidate - and did so in a truly #Kafkaesque manner.

In this exclusive report, Dimitri Lascaris and Yves closely examine the reasons for which the NDP blocked Yves from seeking the party's leadership.

@davidculley @fabio Because it's the bureaucrats who have all the power collectively. Look at any industry, not just tech, it's the same everywhere, same thing can be found in healthcare, same thing in education, same thing in military, etc. Every industry is top heavy with bureaucrats/managers. Bureaucrats exist only to create pointless work for real workers to justify their own existence and bloated pay cheque. It's bureaucrats who ensure nothing works, why everything is broken

Kafkaesque Cinema by Koutsourakis & Angelos, 2024

For all its familiarity as a widely used term, "Kafkaesque cinema" remains an often-baffling concept that is poorly understood by film scholars.

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

🚀 Oh joy! Another deep dive into the C Preprocessor authored by Kafka's ghost, promising #enlightenment once the tears of despair dry up. 🤡 Spoiler alert: It's just another way to make you question your life choices while hopelessly entangled in recursive macro spaghetti. 🍝🔄
