@AlexFromCC The point wasn't to test the process. Every MCU Movie is already partially animated in the form of CGI.
The point was to show that the animation universes exist alongside the physical universe. It's not just a style. It's just as "real" as our own.

@GraceRandolph I thought the same. Then just last week I was talking with a digital artist who I really respect. He described to me the ways that he's experimenting with AI as part of his creative process. This is the same conversation we had when we switched from film to digital darkrooms.

@VerizonSupport Just to follow up It took 4 hours online with support, but I think it's all sorted out.
It turns that some of the account credits weren't applied because the system thought we hadn't met some of the requirements.
Hopefully we'll see the difference in future bills. Thanks!

Can't believe @Verizon is pulling a bait-and-switch on my family! On a customer service call they offered a Holiday byod deal. They said it "On Us": 3 years of free service for an additional line. We called back to verify, and they explained in detail. Now they won't honor it.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@VerizonSupport Hi Amanda, thanks for getting back to me. This "free" promotion that was offered to us is currently costing us HUNDREDS of dollars. I would never expect a company like @Verizon to do this to loyal customers. I'll gather the details and send a DM. Thanks

@CallMeGdubG @GraceRandolph Woodward and Bernstein wrote a book about their Watergate story. They approved a movie about their reporting. They bring it up in interviews for the past 40 years. I don't feel a need to white knight on this, but successful journalists "brag" about their reporting all the time.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

We didn't ask for this, or even know about it. They offered it to us and talked us into it. So disappointing.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

Multiple reps told us the same info, and kept repeating that the monthly bill would even end up being $5 less once the discounts were applied. They said it was a limited offer for select customers. But now they're billing us almost $80 a month, with about $200 in fees!

@TushyPowder @kidlegend46 @TheeMockingjqy @PlayAvengers wait, the campaign only took you two hours? I spent a lot more time. Did you skip the cutscenes? Run right past all the side missions and straight to the main objectives?

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@TushyPowder @TheeMockingjqy @PlayAvengers I don't want online to go away. But let's look at the
Spider-Man playstation game. Huge success, made tons of money, and lots of critical praise.
What most people want is story. Not grinding the same few maps over and over, chasing loot boxes. It's fun but repetitive.

@VenmoSupport once again my account has been frozen with no explanation. Please reach out to whoever is holding my ticket. This has been going on for 3 weeks now.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@DefaultRand The Ajahs feel like something arranged by The Pattern to make sure the Aes Sedai were split into factions. They needed to be scattered so the Emmonds Field kids could take charge. Now that the Last Battle is over, the two towers and the Ajahs will merge again.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@showsaken @DefaultRand Agreed. I kept restarting the show, hoping I could get into it. But you said it perfectly. It just feels like fan-fiction. The actors are fine. But the writers are just using familiar names to tell their own inferior story.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@kortina When I try to access my Venmo balance, it freezes my account. No one will tell me why, or offer a solution. Venmo has blocked thousands of my own money. Support won't answer any questions. 12 days. This is a nightmare!

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@VenmoSupport Apparently, Venmo has a policy to never discuss a customer's account with them at all. The problem with that is, when there's an issue it's impossible to get to the root of it. If ANYONE would just have a chat or discussion with me, I'm sure we could resolve this.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@VenmoSupport I hate to come here again, but it's been 12 days. Every time I try to access my Venmo balance it freezes my account. No one will tell me why. I need my money! Is there someone I can talk to to learn what is going wrong so it can be fixed?

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@DarrellFryeJr @highalwayshailz @VenmoSupport @Venmo It's been 12 days now with no access to my own money. Like you, when I inquire they "escalate" which means added days with a new rep. They won't give me ANY info. Just "thanks for your patience".

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@VenmoSupport Hi Venmo, I have a large balance in the app. But before I could transfer to my bank, my account was frozen. It's been 4 days of writing to support, but no resolution yet.
I've sent the info requested, but no response at all. Is there any way I can talk to a person?

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@VenmoSupport Hi support. Thanks for responding. I’m told that someone will look at my ticket in 5 days. But that would extend my account freeze to almost two weeks! That would be a disaster! I have bills to pay.
Please, is there a way to speed this up?

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@highalwayshailz @VenmoSupport They got someone to reply. By the reply was that they’ll escalate it. And I’ll hear back sometime next week.

[lyonardo @lyonardo]

@headgeek666 Not a comment on Wil, and Cris Rock. I've decided to leave that between them. But come now, us guys having a naturally occurring bald spot is not the same as a woman going bald from alopecia. The societal impact is not the same. Or the embarrassment from public shaming.
