Blakeyrat 🐀

All I Really Need To Know I Learned From Godzilla: GRARGH!!!! *STOMP*

So, uh. Sick of this. I signed up for Twitter, not Gab.com. Blakeyrat's out. I created a mastodon at @blakeyrat@mastodon.social and I have a blog at blakeyrat.com which is totally blank but I'll upload my tweet history there. Lates.

@superjercom Because they were so excited about the loan society!

And I'm not singling out Dentegra, although they are awful, the thing is: they're ALL awful. EVERY SINGLE ONE. The website firmly shows I've cancelled. Yet I give it a 50-60% chance they bill me anyway and eventually send me to collections.

I click through from the link in the email to see if they somehow uncancelled my plan, and I get this. They can't even keep a website running, how the fuck could you trust them to pay your dental bills?

My main purpose of supporting single payer healthcare is simply that private health insurers are SO FUCKING AWFUL at all aspects of business. This dental plan (I cancelled!) keeps sending me "new policy documents". Did I *really* cancel it? Will they bill me? Who knows!

@PulpLibrarian @70sscifi What's Christmas? Is that kind of like Life Day?

@FelipeBido @ComicContext Aw dang I thought I was being so original and you beat me.

@ComicContext Who you tryna get crazy with, ese? DONCHU KNOW I'M LOCO?

@thepanta82 Ok, but like I JUST SAID they have it here too. Soooo.

@blakeyrat Why don't you use Mastodon? They only have the latest feed there.

Periodic begging to Twitter people: if you're complaining about what stuff you see in your feed, PLEASE mention whether you're using the Home (algorithmic) feed or the Latest Tweets (chronological feed). And if you didn't know you could switch, try switching.

@XboxSupport Always wired, there's nothing worse than running out of battery and it always happens at the worst possible time.

How are you connecting your Xbox controller to your Windows PC? Let us know why in the comments. - USB - Wireless - Bluetooth - Wired These are ways to connect them: msft.it/6017erjzB

@_aghna @tinysnekcomics Unless it's changed, "Home" is the feed with all the algorithms and suggestions and "not showing you tweets from people who actually follow". You want the other option, "show tweets as they happen" or whatever it's called.

i refreshed the app and my feed just populated with tweets from ben shapiro, libs of tik tok, fox news, lauren boebert, jordan peterson, donald trump jr, and ole elon musk i follow none of them! such a good and functional website, unbiased and full of free speech :)

@tinysnekcomics Mine's still pretty clean but I keep it on the "chronological" view, and even there "the algorithm" is sneaking in. (For example when I click through to read threads, I get "suggestions" after the thread ends.)

feel like if i was ever going to be held up at pride rock while the entire animal kingdom bowed it would have happened by now.

About 2 weeks away from ending another giant wet fart of a year. Is it me or has absolutely nothing good happened since about 2018?

@superjercom I'm sure it'll still require me to carry my phone around in my own house

Now that every fucking thing requires 2-factor, half my life is: * try to sign in to something * it asks for code * go upstairs/downstairs/far away to grab phone * enter code * "your login request expired" * start over
