what if instead of a much younger, more stylish, and hornier riff on lcd sound system like the dare, we went for an even more middle aged, existentially worried, and self loathing one?

@CCTS_CPRST Nearly 10 PM, 5 hours after I started, 3 hours after the chat support was supposed to be closed, and I am still #2 in the queue, I'm giving up for today. Should it be this hard to get a representative on chat? @RogersHelps

[moonlight repliers haunt me @noah_adams]

@RogersHelps I was #8 in queue when I started at 5 PM PST, now I am #3 with 29 minutes left before support chat shuts down at 7 PM. Doubt I am getting served today.

You need to adequately staff your customer support teams, these kinds of wait times are attrocious.

[moonlight repliers haunt me @noah_adams]

30 minutes after chat support is supposed to have closed and still #3 in the queue. Guess I'll just leave it open and see if something happens?

FYI I have filed a @CCTS_CPRST complaint, I am reaching out to cancel my service and I can't get in touch with a representative.

[moonlight repliers haunt me @noah_adams]

8 minutes left and no motion, this is unacceptable

[moonlight repliers haunt me @noah_adams]

@RogersHelps @CRTCeng @PascaleStOnge_ @CompBureau Or regulate a competitive reseller market into existence on top of the existing players.

There are signs of hope in the pricing shifts Videotron has been able to push in mobile, but Rogers, Bell and Telus get to bully upstarts with promotional rates and ad spend for home service

[moonlight repliers haunt me @noah_adams]

@RogersHelps @CRTCeng @PascaleStOnge_ @CompBureau This is what happens when telecom consolidates: services get worse, and any efficiencies gained turn into marketing spend and shareholder returns.

Nationalize telecommunication infrastructure and create a competitive reseller market on top.

in canadian fashion, the ll bean boat and tote bag is replaced by the st. viateur bagel bag. no monogramming is available, but it has a sick cartoon bagel on it, and it costs less than $15

[moonlight repliers haunt me @noah_adams]

the manifesto declares bertrand russel a patron saint, and socialism an enemy…

i think someone needs to read more betrand russel, maybe starting with “in praise of idleness”

[follow @bencollins on bluesky @oneunderscore__]

Marc Andreessen, who runs one of the biggest Silicon Valley venture capital firms, wrote a "manifesto" today labeling “social responsibility" and "tech ethics" teams "the enemy."

His firm recently pivoted from crypto/Web3 to American military and defense contractor technology.
