Guess it might be time to disable zelle on my bank. I've used it I think twice with people I know but I guess we're left to take our protection into our own hands by just not being willing to use a flawed system with not enough safeguards.

Remove the references to trump and this has been Bernie's message for a long time.

Those that listen to him got it in plenty of time.

The problem is, the mentally blind people that voted for this administration weren't ever going to hear that message, much less comprehend it.

Who said there were no "perks" being a minority in the United States

No I was angry but wanted a clean online space that I was kinda stuck on due to remote family...

Edit: I am more angry now so you're not technically wrong

Since 2015 ish I started unfollowing both left and right side friends because of political talk from people on my friends list on Facebook. I really have pruned it to be only people that post stuff they're doing. Same for people that only forward stuff. (News or whatever).

I broke down and posted about yesterday on my feed with a link to a YouTube video of the press conference. Expressing how utterly disgusted I was.

It's a minor thing but it should make it very clear how I feel and the line we crossed with that display.

Most embarrassed I've been to call myself an american. And I'm a veteran.

Absolutely disgusting.

Ya Elon is getting his money just like the GOP now. He's not worried about what you think

The best response would be that you can't help because your representative(s) that would have agreed with keeping NOAA around weren't elected into office.

Taco Bell started scamming people a long time ago by charging more for their "food" and primarily giving you lettuce and a shell.

If I order, and pay extra for a GRILLED CHICKEN soft taco, I don't want .1oz of chicken, 3oz of lettuce, and 6 thin pieces of shredded cheese.

I swore that place off years ago even though it WAS one of the fast food joints I would visit on occasion.

Their damage was already done with that CEO statement (for me), since after those remarks I cancelled my VPN plan with them. I'm not someone who's going to then follow them around and post negative comments on their Mastodon, X, reddit account whenever they post. I'm just going to walk away.

So, they will move to where their base is, just like trump did and they can sell there stuff to a smaller percentage of the market if they want. I will never understand why a company would actively try to cut their sales base in half or whatever.

I was a videopass subscriber for YEARS, and when they did the big update a couple years ago making the app terrible it ultimately, along with a few retirements, led to me just not subscribing anymore.

The app changes made it impossible to navigate to previous races or catch up if you missed a race or two. We were traveling or something that causes my wife and I to get behind, and I struggled to use the app to find the race and watch it. I don't understand who could have developed that UI to make it so terrible but it helped push me away.

I catch highlights here and there now, but do not watch it much anymore. Which is a shame, but after some retirements, every bike out there being a Ducati and the stupid MotoGP App, it kind of just went 'meh' for me.

I mean, unless they actively go in and take those things off the schedule, my "mychart" tells me what I'm due for. Or, as someone that can read the calendar, I can figure out that each fall if I plan to get a flu shot, that's the time to do it.
