So, uh. Sick of this. I signed up for Twitter, not https://t.co/HHrO1AyHOv. Blakeyrat's out. I created a mastodon at @[email protected] and I have a blog at https://t.co/PZe1H8GMnm which is totally blank but I'll upload my tweet history there. Lates.

@superjercom Because they were so excited about the loan society!

And I'm not singling out Dentegra, although they are awful, the thing is: they're ALL awful. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

The website firmly shows I've cancelled. Yet I give it a 50-60% chance they bill me anyway and eventually send me to collections.

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

My main purpose of supporting single payer healthcare is simply that private health insurers are SO FUCKING AWFUL at all aspects of business. This dental plan (I cancelled!) keeps sending me "new policy documents". Did I *really* cancel it? Will they bill me? Who knows!

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

I click through from the link in the email to see if they somehow uncancelled my plan, and I get this. They can't even keep a website running, how the fuck could you trust them to pay your dental bills?

@PulpLibrarian @70sscifi What's Christmas? Is that kind of like Life Day?

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

@FelipeBido @ComicContext Aw dang I thought I was being so original and you beat me.

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

@thepanta82 Ok, but like I JUST SAID they have it here too. Soooo.

Periodic begging to Twitter people: if you're complaining about what stuff you see in your feed, PLEASE mention whether you're using the Home (algorithmic) feed or the Latest Tweets (chronological feed). And if you didn't know you could switch, try switching.

@XboxSupport Always wired, there's nothing worse than running out of battery and it always happens at the worst possible time.

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

@_aghna @tinysnekcomics Unless it's changed, "Home" is the feed with all the algorithms and suggestions and "not showing you tweets from people who actually follow". You want the other option, "show tweets as they happen" or whatever it's called.

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

@tinysnekcomics Mine's still pretty clean but I keep it on the "chronological" view, and even there "the algorithm" is sneaking in. (For example when I click through to read threads, I get "suggestions" after the thread ends.)

[wolf pupy @wolfpupy]

feel like if i was ever going to be held up at pride rock while the entire animal kingdom bowed it would have happened by now.

About 2 weeks away from ending another giant wet fart of a year. Is it me or has absolutely nothing good happened since about 2018?

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

@superjercom I'm sure it'll still require me to carry my phone around in my own house

[Blakeyrat 🐀 @blakeyrat]

Now that every fucking thing requires 2-factor, half my life is:
* try to sign in to something
* it asks for code
* go upstairs/downstairs/far away to grab phone
* enter code
* "your login request expired"
* start over
