Wow. So apparently only at #Rogers does it take longer than one day to get a phone in store if you're blind. I'm due for an upgrade next month, so I called them this morning to see about getting an iPhone 17. The call went well, I was happy with everything, and the guy set it up to where I could go to the store to sign the paperwork and pick up my phone. I got to the store, and apparently the last step to getting everything going for your phone upgrade is that they have to scan both sides of your ID, as well as your face. I guess an AI bot compares the picture on your ID with the picture on your face. Well apparently the guy buggered it up because he got his hand or something in the way of the camera. So obviously my face and my ID didn't match. You only get one shot at it. He called up the validation team, and the guy he got told him to email this address, explain the problem, and ask for it to be overwritten. That was just before six. And so far there has been no response. So if I don't get one by the time the store closes, I have to come back tomorrow or whenever they approve it. This right here is a perfect example of a conglomerate company implementing a tool which is supposed to guard against identity theft. Unfortunately they haven't implemented an extenuating circumstance override option. Guess why? It appears when they implemented the system, they were ill prepared to deal with things like Accessibility, or not being able to see ones eyes and a clear photo. And they don't take into account that somebody may not be able to make eye contact with the camera. So now I'm going back to get my ID which the guy still has, and I guess I'm coming back here tomorrow. And I hear you all asking. Hey Cam! Why don't you just go with another company? The answer to that is simple, because Rogers has the best call quality in my experience with them, I've been with them for 10 years, so I'm getting some sweet loyalty perks. But if I don't walk out of this mall with my phone in my hand tomorrow, I definitely will cancel everything.

@izzyamar oh dear. Are you OK? My first impulse was to scream back. But just in case you're not OK or in the mood for humor, I thought better of it.
Getting really sick, and really tired, of all these blanked out words on #YouTube. Profanity is one thing, I can understand little children not being subjected to that although I'm sure it can still fly pretty thick on even first or second grade playgrounds these days. I'm talking about bad triggering words. Things like gun, kill, rape, shoot, molest, murder, drugs, specific names of drugs, etc. i'm a big boy. I just graduated from diapers to pull-ups yesterday. But I digress. Here's an idea. put disclaimers at the beginning of videos. Stop censoring us who don't have a problem with words like that. If you're triggered by words like that, maybe don't watch the videos? Go back to your cute babies and kittens. Or better yet. Give those of us who pay for YouTube premium the option to have videos that are completely uncut and uncensored. The same things we see on the platform these days, but no censorship, and no trigger word blackouts. There are options to view and listen to raw and uncut and uncensored content on lots of other platforms. Give us YouTube viewers that choice too.

@izzyamar yeah. Most poor kitties don't like being stuffed into a carrier.
@izzyamar your vet would probably give you a tranquilizer for him so he sleep most of the way.

@amy0223 I know someone who's in that situation now. She's 40, still lives with her mommy, and the mother is a Total 1000% helicopter parent. Always up in her business, always telling her what she can and can't do. It's pathetic.

@tardis because life and the world are about choices. If I choose to watch an uncut or uncensored version of video the same as I would a movie, there are platforms that provide R rated material. And I may or may not pay for that privilege. If I was to buy a premium package that would give me access to uncut material, I have the right to suggest that. There still would be lots of people in the world who would buy that service or upgrade. So what they might lose a little bit in revenue, it would still would be a good return on investment.

@tardis although what you say about YouTube's policies about not paying people, that's insane too. I still do find channels where course language is not restricted or censored, and those are gems.

@bmoore123@tweesecake.social @mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca they do live in the shorts tab, but they also can display themselves on the main feed unless you tell them to go away.

@mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca don't you have to bring your own phone over there though? With my new contract I'll be only paying 24 a month for it because I'm getting a loyalty discount, plus they're paying off the last two months of my current contract.
Replying to
@mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca well I've had continuous service with them for 10 years now. And I've never had any credit or bill paying issues. So they're rolling out the loyalty carpet big time on me.

@JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me enjoy eating that much while you still can. The metformin may make your stomach a little awkward for the first few days. You may have to eat smaller portions.
Replying to
@JamminJerry@mastodon.stickbear.me i'm on Ozempic and metformin. The Ozempic is what makes me puke if I eat too much. The metformin will more than likely cause pre-watery diarrhea. Although you may tolerate 500 mg, if they're upping your medication, you'll just have to be cautious.

@lord_raven86@mastodon.stickbear.me @shefoof@someplace.social usually their pride is the only thing that's hurt when that happens. Funny though.

@mcourcel@mstdn.ca not only that, but they are annoying too. You always get one or two that grow longer than the rest. And it's those one or two that end up tickling your eye and causing an itch.

@bmoore123@tweesecake.social there is. You can tell it to show fewer shorts on home. That'll last at least a couple of weeks. But they will return.
Replying to
@mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca @bmoore123@tweesecake.social on the main screen right where it says shorts, do a one finger flick down till it says action menu. Tap on that, and scroll to your right and you'll see it should say show fewer shorts on home. Tap that, and it should say something like got it. We'll tune your recommendations. And they'll go away for a few weeks.
