@FlyAirNZ Also just confirmed with your staff member at gate. Hopefully, meals are correct this time.

[Gerald Lee Jordan Ⓥ 🖖 🌱 @geraldleejordan]

@FlyAirNZ - My wife and I ordered #vegan meals and confirmed THREE times, including after your flight change. We had no decent food for 13 hours over the Pacific. Crew gave us a few slivers of pasta and rice which looked like discards from First Class. Huge fail! #airnz #flights

@FlyAirNZ I interacted with your chatbot by DM. Awaiting confirmation.

[Gerald Lee Jordan Ⓥ 🖖 🌱 @geraldleejordan]

Flying home to Aotearoa New Zealand, @FlyAirNZ. We have confirmed we are getting #vegan meals on our 13 hour flight. Let’s see if we have to go without eating again, or if you can get it right this time #AirNZ. #flights #flight #airline #newzealand #nz #flying #airlines

I guess @FlyAirNZ has an equally inadequate comms team over their Twitter account, as they provide terrible service and then can’t follow up on feedback. #airnz #flights #airlines #airline #travel #newzealand #nz #flying #fail

"Listen, real poetry doesn't say anything, it just ticks off the possibilities. Opens all doors...If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel."

There is reason, after all, that some people wish to colonize the moon, and others dance before it as an ancient friend.

“Character — the willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life — is the source from which self-respect springs.”

When someone tells you that narcissists think they are more important than others and lack empathy while they themselves are chomping on the corpses of innocent beings who didn’t want to die, you realise the depths of self-deception. #vegan #govegan

@skystracloud Thanks for the offer! As @HostGator can’t provide the most basic of secure #hosting (updated PHP) and pretends to offer support here and then refuses to do anything by email, I will just spin up a server on AWS. #hostgator #websites #hosting #sitehosting #webhosting

[Gerald Lee Jordan Ⓥ 🖖 🌱 @geraldleejordan]

Very disappointed in @hostgator! I pay for hosting and they run deprecated PHP software, so I can't install modern software on sites. They say option is to "upgrade" to a dedicated server. Been in hosting more than 20 years and worst experience, ever. #hosting #domainhosting
