It's incredibly ironic that ChatGPT constantly asks me to verify that I'm not a bot
Literally every single time I try open their app, I get asked to click the button again to verify that I am indeed human....
Corporate astroturfing is the norm
Went to Google Play to complain about Hulu. I noticed Google advertising that over 300 reviews had the verbatim quote "watch and movies that you love". It's always confusing that buggy corporate apps have >95% 5 star reviews until you see that the majority are just completely fake, and no one cares or is doing anything about it.

I bought a car with a bad engine
A year ago I bought my wife a Mazda CX-5 diesel and paid 10K for it. Now I found out that it has an engine defect that will be extremely expensive to repair, so the car is a write-off, at best I can get 2K back.
Grocery stores promoting gas discounts are not helping the transition away from gas vehicles

Imagine that…
Most patients predicted that their worst symptoms when exposed to gluten would be classic lower digestive problems like diarrhea, bloating and cramps. However, none of these occurred during the acute immune responses observed by Anderson’s team. Instead, patients experienced nausea and vomiting. Anderson describes them as,...
Astounding absurdity
None of what follows is new. I know this stuff happens all the time. And yet somehow this insignificant thing shocked me and it's been gnawing at me for the past few days. And today was the icing on the shit cake....

I swear credit card companies make log-ins fail on purpose.

Why do people give videos English titles when the videos themselves are in some other language?
I really really don't understand how people are either so tiny brained or so fkin inconsiderate. Probably this is the wrong community to post this, as my infuriation levels are far from mild....

Anyone else have their eclipse viewing ruined by clouds?
Was in south Ontario, the sky was clear for about an hour before totality, and then about 15 minutes before, a big dark cloud came in and ruined it.
Why do we have to do the health insurance company's job for them?
Just so tired of almost every time a doctor submits stuff to insurance, we have to be the ones to make multiple phone calls to both the doctor's office and insurance to iron everything out, figure out what the issue is (it's always a different issue), and basically be the go-between for the office and insurance. What am I...
Fix one thing... break another
I -was- going to find a community who might help me with my problem, but then I found this place and it's obviously much more constructive to bitch about it than to actually try to fix it. Shame on me for not seeing that right away....
Ah, reddit
Sometimes I think this whole process of deleting content from Reddit in protest hasn't really worked out for everyone...
Thin Car Paint
I bought my first new car about a month ago. I found out car manufacturers basicaly put only 1 or 2 coats of paint on cars these days, so that if you even look at the car wrong, it will scratch and you'll have to take it in for touch up....

I just got a bill for a Wayfair credit card that was issued by Citi bank that I did not apply for. I never even shopped on that website....

When people use "minimum" or "maximum" and then follow that with a range.
I once applied for a job where one of the requirements was "minimum 5 to 10 years experience in X". My friend told me to submit a CV saying I have 3 to 6 years experience in X and see if they shortlist me.
EDIT : SOLVED it was one user
One user is following me around and harrasing me of having alts even though i have only one and have put it in the bio....
My half-Jewish daughter tried matzo for the first time today. Egg and onion. The best kind of matzo. She declared it "just okay."
This is why we never gave her a bat mitzvah....
My graphics card BIOS chip malfunctioning coincided with my Wayland desktop glitching out
I have a 6900 xt GPU of which had random crashes for a month, I then decided to load a new BIOS on to the board and found that the chip was not reading at all. Dual BIOS so no issue. I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip then turned on my PC to find all applications that used electron to render were crapping out making...
2G, 3G, 4G, 5G mobile data made some sense as it represents generational leaps in the technology itself but then Xfinity wants to advertise "10g" internet...
Comcast says it represents a 10 Gigabit cable internet network they are building (it doesn’t exist) so they are basically changing the meaning of the g from generation to gig to act like 10g is 5 generations better (or twice as fast)…or that they have a 10 gigabit network. Neither is accurate. It’s still just cable...
