I think the root issue is still real, regardless of how much koolaid this person drank.

1. Person buys a gift card from a brick-and-mortar store
2. Apple says its fraud
3. Locks account and refuses to elaborate

but I’m learning that a LOT of people are either / or with phones and computers;

My knee jerk reaction was to say something smart ass like “well they should get a computer” but you’re absolutely right.

The customer service woman I talked to was surprised I could talk to her and browse the internet (on a laptop). She told me most people use their phone for everything. I met college kids who were typing their papers on their phones. My mom never owned a computer until I gave her one, and she leaves it in the corner “for emergencies”.

I have no answer. People will continue uploading their lives into Google photos, Facebook galleries, whatever - with no backup, and hope those companies store their data. I think the average person is fucked.

The Terraria dev who had his Google account locked out because of whatever bullshit.

Don’t ever put anything secure/critical in places that aren’t yours.

Even Grok calls him out.

This is going to sound shit but I don’t care.

I can’t stand talking to morons. I talk matter-of-factly. I explain the problem. I say “Do you want X, Y, or Z? I’d recommend Z.” And these idiots still reply with vague no-answers and then I get shit on because I point out their stupid behavior.

Anyways, now things are better because I just use AI slop to fix my writing and send that garbage to them.

And you know what? It fucking works. If their answer is still vague garbage, I repeat. Copy their slop, put it in ai, tell AI to give a professional response, paste that slop right back until I get an answer.

It’s been saving me a dozen headaches. And chances are these fuckalls are using AI already so fight fire with fire.

One fed up customer service staff member took a screenshot of the boss’s email and drew an arrow + circle, and that was the whole reply to our email chain.

It made my day.

Most of my shit posts are done while I’m taking a literal shit so no.

Damn DEI woke Charlie Kirk here.

I keep forgetting this show exists and it’s so good.

It just doesn’t show up on my feed unless I look for it.

Don’t forget voting!

Oh and open a bank account!

My wife calls it rub down.

Well yeah. These women were suffering from extreme bouts of hysteria.

Oh who does this now? Do they do home visits?

For a good time, for a good time call

Does it come with FIFA Bucks because if not…

Same. I don’t mind it if it was done by a group of writers who can finetune it or people who just hate that shit. But but Google’s job is to get more clicks and get more eyeballs. So I don’t trust them to game their own systems.

For reference

Why not also the company that does the IDs?

And hell, also the porn site?

Its all a big money making scheme. Security theater bullshit.

Ah fail.

We better sync up in the Andrew Tate hate Discord. 😭

That’s fair. Thanks for calling it out
