@2fast2fausty Yeah! And it was so hard for me to easily sort thru episodes on apple tv. Made it difficult to shop around.

@aldricht It’s amazing really. No Play From Beginning function, to name a big one

Given that they've been out a few years, Disney+ and AppleTVs UX is surprisingly bad. Some basic things are still pretty funked up. Why?!

@flyPAL Your website is so buggy. It does not load accurate flight details and keeps sending ambiguous errors. Midway, it'll captcha someone for some reason, and ultimately fail on securing a booking. It does not update prices or help users understand what is going on.

@aldricht Hello, Aldrich. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Could you please provide more details on the request you were trying to transact which led to this prompt? We look forward to hear from you. Thank you.

jfc @flyPAL please fix your website UX

Gcash UB integration is SO damn janky, how has it not been fixed over the past few years??? C'mon.

How do we have super advanced AI, self driving electric cars, rockets headed to Mars, all these crazy collaborative technologies in 2025, but MS Word and Google Docs STILL can't handle images and layout for shit? One spacebar or letter sends the whole page into oblivion

Anyone else think that @DisneyPlus UX is fairly subpar and lacks "intelligence"? There's a few small and simple UX/UI tweaks as a viewer that would make a big difference!

The Shaw/St Francis st intersection is such a unmoderated traffic pain point. Extending the barriers to block turning onto the bridge or putting a stoplight to pace the flow of traffic and prevent locking would be a huuuuge help. Pls! @VicoSotto @PasigInfo

@ThinkFinance999 @yusan_lin People are naturally opportunistic, ok, but it doesn't mean this behavior should be accepted. Poor excuse. People can actually CHOOSE how they act. I guarantee you in the scenarios OP outlined, they knew exactly what they were doing. Shoot your shot at a bar, not a biz meeting.

People will use whatever leverage they can get. And be welcome to do so sometimes and unwelcome a higher number of times. As long as they take no for an answer, it's not a dramatic approach. Except for the creepy guy who tried multiple times, the others were reasonably normal and would sometimes be welcome, depending on the suitor, etc.

An investor once pressured me to meet him at a hotel at night. I said no. I asked if we could meet during the day, at a coffee shop or in an office. He replied: “If you’re serious about this, you’ll meet me on my terms.” That’s just one of many moments I’ve stayed silent about—until now. As a female founder, I’ve faced harassment and dismissiveness more times than I can count. I’m not sharing this to portray myself as a victim. I’m sharing it because silence only protects the behavior. And because I know I’m not alone. Since starting my company, I’ve experienced: - An investor who texted me late at night while drinking, saying he missed me—and asking whether I “show enough skin” in my party outfits, after a single coffee meeting about business. - One who asked, “How many white guys have you been with for your English to be this good?” - Another who interrupted me mid-sentence while I was sharing an important partnership update to say, “Bring your pretty friends to my island next time.” - One who told me, “You’re too pretty to be a founder. Just be an influencer,” and then showed me photos of women online wearing very little, suggesting I could do the same. - An investor who said he kept forgetting I could code—because I “don’t look like someone who can.” - A founder I distanced myself from after multiple uncomfortable invites, who recorded and took photos of me without my consent. When I got upset, he said I was missing out on funding opportunities because he could’ve introduced me to investors. - Another founder who made an unwanted sexual advance the first time we met. When I ignored his repeated messages, he told me he hoped my startup would fail. These aren’t just awkward moments. They’re degrading. They’re exhausting. And to say they haven’t taken an emotional toll would be a lie. I don’t want to be objectified, or reduced to an image these men create in their minds. I hope we build a culture where this behavior is no longer tolerated. One where female founders don’t have to brace themselves before every investor meeting. One where we feel safe at work, at networking events, and in every room where decisions are made. One where competence isn’t overshadowed by appearance. One where boundaries are respected—without needing to be justified. To be clear: These experiences do not reflect the majority. I’ve been fortunate to meet far more incredible, kind, and principled investors and founders than not. But until this kind of behavior ends, stories like mine need to be heard too.

@ThinkFinance999 @yusan_lin You are justifying extremely unprofessional behavior with *well, we gotta shoot our shot". The context and intent is different, and they're using their leverage in business for personal and inappropriate reasons. Absolutely not okay.

Men have to try. There's no telepathy out there. They have to say something to try. The ones which got through likely played the exact same game as those who got rejected, only because they got through they weren't held up as examples of what not to do. It's mostly called flirting, even when it fails. Some will have used whatever leverage they had. Some others will have had different leverage, just stayed there looking hot and cool, and then opened their mouths, said some pseudo-philosophical inanity, and enjoyed success.

Going through the BIR in Makati to update documents and I am blown away by the constant queuing , requeuing, nonstop back and forth processes. No wonder this is a full-day affair. SERVICE DESIGN DIRELY NEEDED. #letmehelpyou

The Material Design fanboy in me is swooning. Huge fan of the philosophy and design language of Material by @GoogleDesign ever since it got released!! design.google/library/expres…

@PLDT_Cares This auto reply is part of the problem, and the FB chatbot doesn't work, doesn't register account numbers, has such limited options. No after-sales care, no hotlines. Total garbage.

@aldricht Hello, @aldricht. Let's get your inquiry resolved by sending us a private message via m.me/PLDTCares while we enhance our direct messaging on X. Once you're on our PLDT Cares Facebook Messenger chat, please type 'Menu' and follow the instructions. Thank you.

@PLDT_Cares's FB chatbot ux is an example of a completely thoughtless stonewalling customer service experience. It should be studied, and then burned to the ground. I'm trying to continue my services with you, but you won't let me. Taking my business elsewhere. DO BETTER. #badux

Does anyone else's PLDT wifi connection go out at the same time EVERY NIGHT? Wth is going on??? @PLDT_Cares

Teamwork makes the dream work

Any users of @FranzMessenger ? Is nobody managing their support anymore?

@felixleezd Data/research and understanding of it, and even experiences from past and present informs and builds intuition over time. Similar principle as someone being the sum of all their experiences so far.

Unpopular opinion but I'd argue that good design is more by intuition than by data.
