@wingstop Just left an order at one of your locations because the employees weren’t wearing masks properly. And as I walked in, one pulled their mask all the way down to scratch her nose. Not great right now.

@QuikTrip Also, many of them have the unfortunate habit of gathering all of the items together after checkout, even those without a barcode. I don’t want a bag, I don’t want them all together. I want to grab my stuff myself with as little contact as possible.

@QuikTrip Your employees really need training on handling people’s purchases as little as needed. Most times on checkout, the associate picks up *every last item* even though I’ve arranged the barcodes to be visible.

The options for keybindings are pathetic. I'm giving up for tonight. It is trying to make me entirely rework how I control the game, for no reason. @Halo

So far, my experience with Halo 2 MCC on PC confirms 343 Industries just cannot make a video game properly. @Halo

@XboxSupport When will there be a reasonable option for reporting obnoxious players like this, not on an Xbox? Seems like a very basic failing.

[Tyler Locke @tylerlocke]

@MartyTheElder So... I may listen to your music a lot. Thanks for all the good stuff.

@HaloSupport You should really change how the matchmaking quit bans work. I just got banned because of a faulty NVIDIA driver. Add some crash detection, or something.

@kcur Excellent choice of background music a couple minutes ago. “Neon Night” by @MartyTheElder

It’s frustrating when people act like congress getting in the way of the president is a bad thing. That’s literally part of their job.

Listening to the defense in the #ImpeachmentTrial I get the odd feeling that there are a number of people in this country that would be more comfortable in a monarchy than a republic.

@leolaporte Just listened to the latest episode of TWiT. Thank you for clarifying the criticism of Ring. I'm no big fan of Amazon, but I feel like too many people don't understand the nature of the police partnerships. Also, I'm a millennial, and agree with you about TikTok.

@madebygoogle Still haven’t heard back from the support escalations team. Any idea what is going on?

1. I don’t often talk about how mad I am. I don’t often talk about how mad I am, because talking often about how mad I am prevents me from speaking clearly and rationally. I want to speak clearly and rationally.

@NPR Again, your voiceovers during congressional hearings are disruptive and unwanted. At least duck the audio from Congress a little less.

[Tyler Locke @tylerlocke]

@Google My Pixel 2 XL has distortion in its speakers that makes using it as a phone (or listening to anything) nearly impossible. I've had it replaced (twice I think) under warranty. All of the devices have had the exact same problem. Is there any way to get this resolved?

[Tyler Locke @tylerlocke]

@NPR Who decides on the narration during these Congressional broadcasts? I want to hear Congress, not NPR personnel, no offense.
