@VesDBA Amazing?

@ShannonEichorn Awesome story!

@kennethryan2 @Lowes Exactly our conundrum. But I will never EVER shop at Lowes again. NEVER. I will be looking at True Value Hardware, Harbor Freight etc.

@Jenthulhu @Lowes Unfortunately for me it's either the blue one giving you trouble, or the orange one funding right-wing shenanigans.

@jjkean2 @Lowes WOW! Thank you. Fingers crossed.

@Jenthulhu @Lowes Happy to help! In 2009 I had a similar issue with target but on a lower scale. Emails were sent to who I could find and I had an email from the CEOs executive assistant in 10 minutes. Hoping you have the same luck! 🤞

@jjkean2 @Lowes Wow! Thank you. I had no idea this kind of stuff was available to a consumer.

@Jenthulhu @Lowes Not sure if these are accurate but found some exec emails online. elliott.org/company-contac…

@raiaren Me too!

@Jenthulhu Following you there 🙂 I'm really liking #Mastodon

@chipmcintosh Spot. On.

@Jenthulhu I'm pretty sure he bought it solely because his bluff was called. His fear of humiliation, and pathological desire to (failingly) control the dialogue around same are not dissimilar to a certain orange ex-president.

Did Musk buy Twitter to break it--to break the grass-roots source of resistance communication like Black Twitter and anti-gun Twitter etc? We know he wants to give a platform to violence-inciting deceivers, but is there more to this?

@joshuaguttman I can only imagine...

@Jenthulhu Also the sit around a Tesla site waiting for your car to recharge so you can continue the family trip from hell is losing its appeal.

@joshuaguttman Interesting take. I don't know if Musk is on the spectrum or not.

@Jenthulhu Having a whole family on the spectrum and watching my two nephews grow up and handle it their own way; One gets very violent the other doesn’t know how to relate to people. What they think is normal and appropriate is not always the case with my nephews. Luckily we love them.

@Realisphere I completely agree. The man put a lot of people in a bad place (while also shooting himself in the foot). It's extremely disrespectful to the people who work there, most of whom are now gone--some of whom are the only ones who knew certain pertinent things about the company.

@Jenthulhu Nobody is talking about #eMusk's utter disrespect for the workforce. So many people put their best forward in a career only to be told they're dismissed by whim and lottery. He's NOT a manager. He's a wrecking ball. Anyone can be a wrecking ball.

@plotwench @Lowes That is the next step if the PayPal dispute doesn't budge anything. My spouse and I have already discussed it. It feels ridiculous that we have to be thinking of strategies like this.

@Jenthulhu @Lowes Have you tried a local "On Your Side" tv program? Our local stations do stories and magically everything is settled.

@KentPitman Heh. I kinda love this.

@Jenthulhu I call Hanlon's Razor here. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27…

@ScifiCommons @Lowes Nope. I hope it gets resolved soon.

@Jenthulhu @Lowes They still haven’t helped you?

@garmonbozia42 @Lowes I sure hope so.

@Jenthulhu @Lowes I can't advise you on this because it's been 12 years since I got out of the industry, but I spent nearly a decade mediating disputes on behalf of cardholders & merchants, this is par for the course. Your decision not to use the credit is sound but hopefully it won't be an issue.

@The_Real_Big_Al @Lowes But that is good to know about PayPal. I've heard grumbling about the service over the years, but that was a factor I wasn't aware of. What do you use instead?

@The_Real_Big_Al @Lowes This is my first problem with them. They at least are trying to resolve it, which is more than I can say for Lowes who keeps repeating the same messages to me over and over, some of which simply don't make any sense (like saying they issued a refund before payment went through.)

@BriannaWu LOL.

no sonic fan in history has ever had sex you’re okay

@ThePenDrake To us it looked perfectly healthy. A native tree--either sugar maple or red maple. But it was huge and right in front of the house. Maybe they needed the light. Still sad. If I'd really been thinking I would have tried to clone that tree a long time ago.

@KateUK101 This isn't some whim. I have always lived my life this way. I daresay--my books are about topics just like this.

@KateUK101 By using this service, we're directly giving Musk ad revenue. He's making money on us while ruining the lives of a lot of people. Again--not pointless. I have moral standards. I can't support his business practices.
