I'm pissed off and disappointed.
I just received a #telemarketing phone call on behalf of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, #soliciting #donations.
It sounded pretty human-ish -- I believe it was using actual recorded sentences of a human being - but they were edited/glued-together in a slightly unnatural way. I believe it was an #IVR system.
So in the middle of one of its speeches, I interrupted with "You're actually a #recorded announcement, aren't you?"
And it replied with some meaningless interjection followed by "No, I'm a real live #agent". And it wasn't. It definitely wasn't. I tested it further and it immediately failed, giving nonsensical replies and then suddenly switching to a "thank you for completing..." (which I hadn't) announcement and disconnecting.
Legitimate #charities shouldn't be employing telemarketing #robots which lie and claim to be #humans. Full stop.
#Shame on the CNIB.

#EricAdams was indicted in Sept on charges including #bribery, #fraud & #soliciting illegal foreign campaign contributions after an investigation that began in 2021. He pleaded not guilty, maintained his innocence & contended that he is being prosecuted because he criticized the #Biden admin.
In recent wks, Adams, a Democrat, has curried favor w/ #Trump, traveling to Mar-a-Lago, attending the inauguration & saying that…he will share any criticisms of the president in private.

Interesting that #tinder and related services aren't considered #soliciting 🤔 as that is pretty much what they seem to do.

My neighborhood gets hit up by roofing contractor dodos at least weekly. I often ask an officer to escort them out for ignoring/violating our posted no-#soliciting order.
What astounds me most is that if anyone here had actually been inclined to hire one of these annoying companies, the ones coming by lately are going to be missing business solely of account of #tardiness.
“I told a dozen or more hawks before you to go away. Do you really think visit number umpteen is going to change my mind?”

This is the heatmap of podcasts I listen to. See how much white space there is? Please help me fill those - if you know of any English-language podcasts outside of the UK and the US, reply and let me know (Tamil-language also welcome).
I generally listen to deep long form conversations (like Sean Carroll’s Mindscape) or comedy podcasts (like Russell and Jon’s 6Music radio show), but I’m open to anything; I’ll give it a try if you say you like it.
(I want to diversify the places I consume media from, and this is a step towards that goal.)
