Absolutely sick and tired of unexplained waiting for videos to start.

Also sick of bullshit answers like "clear your browser cache and cookies" and all that crap that doesn't fix it at all ever.
Internet connection is great, so that's not it either.

I select one of my videos, and it refuses to start. Forever spinny waiting animation.

I'm actually paying for 2TB of storage. I expect there not these kind of delays starting a video.
I literally have no access to the videos I uploaded!
That's what I'm paying for?

Trump and his minions following Steve Bannon's tactic of "FLOODING THE ZONE", and people are falling for it by being preoccupied by it.

Exactly what the title says. Steve Bannon some time ago has said that to sow confusion and preoccupation, all one has to do is "flood the zone" with crazy over the top stuff that makes people jump to the ceiling. That's exactly what's been happening but I don't think people are getting it. They think that some of crazy crap Trump yells around is to be taken face value, but really what it is, is the ultimate trolling.

And it helps him distract. Distract from things like the Epstein files which might very well link him to murder, never mind sexy girl stuff.

Trump keeps on winning this way. Everyone is constantly kept glued to their keyboards playing whack a mole, while putting off actually going after him, thinking "this first".

Steve Bannon has been laughing the entire time because he sees his strategy has been working perfectly. And it'll keep on going and people keep failing to call it out for what it is.... Mark my words.

▲ 75 r/KLM

It costed me over $300 for me and my son to sit by the window, instead of being purposely scattered through the plane by KLM.

Seat selection is just absurd at this point - has been for a while now.

So I book a flight for myself and my son. Yay - let's fly to the Netherlands, fun! Oh, the fun gets soured from the moment you deal with KLM.
My son has not flown yet, and so I feel it's rather important to sit together. So what does KLM do? They purposely scatter us through the plane - a set up for the ultimate up-sell !

Solution? Pay for seat selection. So that will be FOUR times like 80 bucks. Yet, that's one by the window, and me next to it. So special that it's even more expensive.

I think that KLM is making more money from separating families than they make from regular tickets. It's like a fastfood restaurant, where they make more money from pop than they do from the food sales.

I find all this very un-Dutch. This gouging and what feels like attacking families by scattering them, only to pay money to be back together again. How very unbecoming !

ps. KLM staff lurks here and downvotes criticism all the time - a known thing for years now.

EDIT: I've been blocking people that resorted to insults. But only because of insults. Disagreeing is fine.

Absolutely sick and tired people "laughing" at anything to with EV electric cars and things like windmills.

Every, single, time, any Facebook post, be a local community group, or some wider Facebook page, someone says something about something good about an EV or a windmills, and out come the morons and fools going "ha ha" with their stupid little laughy icons. They just can't help themselves. And when you confront them, they repeat the same lies and bullshit that they've seen others parrot around. No matter how much effort is put into explaining in full detail how wrong they were, it makes no difference, as 5 minutes later they'll repeat the same misinformation elsewhere. Literally can't fix stupid. And I'm sick of them. They're all dumb people.

Warning! Dewlora carbon monoxide detector is a scam!

There are fake online profiles on Facebook trying to funnel people into so called "Dewlora" 4 in 1 carbon monoxide detectors. One "woman" posted a very lengthy post how her baby of 32 weeks pregnant (thus unborn), died from carbon monoxide poisoning. She claimed that a 6 year old house with a 6 year old furnace caused enough CO for her unborn baby to die. I don't know if that's even possible.
The very very lengthy sob story led to this detector from this new, unrecognized company called Dewlora. No certifications, no tests, just claims.

I called that woman out and raised my concerns. I also went to the Dewlora Facebook page, and simply asked for a test that proves it works better than the established brands.

Literally, in under a minute, I got BLOCKED both by that woman AND by that Dewlora Facebook page.

So if these aren't signs of a SCAM I don't know what is. I am hoping that my post can stay up here, and serve to have something for people to land on should random people ever search for "Dewlora".

EDIT: I asked friend to check out the Dewlora Facebook page, and they removed all of their posts. Clearly they / he / she is still very much vested in fooling the public. This was a clear reaction from me raising alarm bells.

Humans having their own turf to conduct their kerfuffles won't last forever.

Right now we can all do our bit for political reasons for example.
But it won't take long before groups of political movements will engage AI mechanisms to engage online right among us all. AI will create posts and engage in comments, and will do it in less obvious ways that we right now predict they will: you won't be able to tell!
This means a whole other level of political warfare is inbound.

That's in the nutshell really. The ultimate con artist. Stealing money right under people's noses. Tariffs, fake bankruptcies, deals, cronies, hijacking, piracy, siphoning, grifting. It goes on an on.
The complaint is that noone with the right powers is doing anything about it. They protect him. Why? Because they're part of the scheme, the scam? Is this the biggest corruption that this planet has ever seen, anywhere in history, anywhere on earth? I'm starting to think so. The entire world is suffering now. Inflation world wide is jacked up because of this one man, supported by all the scammers, crooks, and con artists, he surrounded himself with, and planted at all the decision making positions. He has everything stacked.
And it's not just a massive money heist in the end. People will now starve on mass. 1/3 of the world's fertilizer has been curbed because it normally comes through that straight at Iran. Poorer countries will suffer first.

All all because the American constitution has been capped at the knees. All because a bunch of people are grifting from the big steal. Incredible how such a powerful and rich country can sink that low on the corruption scale. Absolutely insane.

And now that freak is getting his "friends" to help rigging the election, to further prevent democracy regaining control.

And he keeps on getting away with it. I am absolutely puke sick and tired of all this dirty slimy corruption and theft. What total moron in the general population continues to stand up for this guy? I don't get it? Are people that dumb? That daft? That ignorant? That brainwashed? That insane? Weird weird weird !!!

In the process of upgrading my phone, I check using my new phone the Fizz website and before looking for a new QR code for a new eSIM for my new phone, I see the current offerings. I figure let's look. 25Gb for 25 dollars. Holy cow that's a lot better than the current 4GB in getting! So in I want to select this new phone plan. I log in and poof, deal is gone. 2GB for 25 dollars now. So I open an incognito tab and try again. 25GB for 25 dollars.

Seems pretty shady and tacky on Fizz's part I would say. Screwing over existing customer while offering 10 times as good data for new comers....

This makes me want to start looking for alternatives now...
