Dear @Zocdoc, I know this behavior is probably a mistake at the provider level, but it sucks. I am not unemployed, disabled, or retired. There are bunch of these examples. How can you help providers with this?
United airlines got me again. I'm at MCO airport, bought United club passes for my folks. No one is allowed in because "everything is broken". The machine to take your money is never broken.

The most annoying people in the world love to say there is no objective difference between good art and bad art
So I made a list of 15
Good Art v/s Bad Art: The Masterlist of 15 Differences👇🏻
@technouveau_art What are "actual inner reflections"? Even 50 years from now wouldn't any machine be a "simulation" built from "human narratives"? Can you imagine any machine that would pass your test? Can you imagine any 7 year-old that would pass your test? Aren't we all copies of other people?
A dugout canoe measuring 15 feet in length was discovered in Wisconsin's Lake Mendota recently. Using advanced technology, experts have determined that the canoe dates back to approximately 1,200 years ago.
As the well-preserved canoe was retrieved from the lake, Wisconsin state archaeologist Jim Skibo remarked, "This is the first time this thing has been out of the water in 1,200 years.” The remarkable find was brought to the surface in November 2021 after being spotted by maritime archaeologist Tamara Thomsen, who was observing a school of fish at the lake's bottom.
Thomsen noticed a protruding log on the lakebed and upon closer inspection, identified it as a canoe. A wood sample was sent for carbon dating, revealing an astonishing result—the wood dated back to 800 A.D. Thomsen had discovered a 1,200-year-old canoe.
The canoe is believed to have belonged to ancestors of the Ho-Chunk Native Americans, who constructed dugout canoes by burning the inside of logs and shaping them with stone tools. "Consider cutting down a tree that's two-and-a-half feet wide with a stone tool and then hollowing it out and making it float," Skibo explained "It must have taken hundreds of hours and a great deal of skill."
The vessel will undergo several years of preservation treatment and may eventually find its place in a proposed Wisconsin Historical Society museum in Madison.
"Hopefully the canoe will play a role here," said Skibo. "It's a great artifact for telling multiple stories.
@0xgaut The machine is so confused by the concept of eating. It just has no idea why we put food near our mouths and move our mandibles up and down, up and down.
@0K_ultra Place them in a hollywood set, subject them to strange psychological tests. Plant ringers among them. They break out of the set but another set wraps the first one and so on. In the finale they have to bake a centerpiece from scratch including elaborate sugar work! Ratings gold!
@Kaju_Nut Young's double slit experiment shows that the universe is an optimized machine, doing only the calculations necessary to achieve ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴇsᴜʟᴛ. Quantum erasure experiments show that those calculations are deterministic.
@pegobry I like the U.S. national anthem. Sure, it's not as catchy as O Canada, or as striking as La Marseillaise. But it asks us who we are. And we sing it in public often, before games and such. A reminder that we're here to do difficult things.
