had a phone with multiple lines. 1 rang everyone’s. never pick that up. it’s ‘dildos’. to quote Sqiggar

unshopped?

IT nerd for 20 years. ‘can i ask you a question?’ or voice message saying ‘call me’.

already did, done. I wouldn’t return the call. or answer the phone. I ain’t a help-desk

iirc, usery is a sin. says so in the manual

the calculation i try to do. total insurance payments for a year minus healthcare received equals profits wasted building bigger office buildings and yachts for insurance execs. i’ll bet you a hundred dollars a month your house won’t burn down. or the extended car warranty scams are also same deal. house always wins because people don’t have common sense to save money for ‘rainy days’. schools don’t teach basic finance.

conflict with insurance interest in taking your money. nurse i know spends 2 hours of insurance documentation for every hour on actual nursing.

waiting for a medical group to bypass them and collect premiums directly. if only to end insurance paperwork costs. it is a drag on everyone’s bottom line. aside from price distortions.

read one ai llc he paid 45b for was a total scam. posted a few months back; sigh; https://futurism.com/scale-ai-zuckerberg-incompetence

perma-ban last week instead of usual timeout. no reason. community standards. glad that shitshow is over. robots clicking robot posts for ad views. hope i live to see that bubble crash and burn. been a good life mostly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lnvers6_Km8

after years of getting timeouts and jail for minor cussing, the robots perma-banned me with no explanation, just a link to community standards. was pretty tired of the endless bot/slop/spam in most groups. keep that self-clicking robot swarm. family has my number.

nice box
