I love how they've dropped 'potentially fatal' in there, as though that's the problem the dad's facing there. Bit more than that to take away there, sir! That 'shy smile' might've been a mis-read!

curious about the sandwich though. Was there processed meat?

I am a happy camper. I got there late, but the dude was awesome and did my hair anyway. A much needed win! So glad.

Seriously, this 30min journey took 2hrs. And all I'm getting from it is stress! The town closes at 5! That's in around 5min! This SUCKS!!!

Ugh, it won't happen today either. Because they've removed the needed bus stop in the village it takes twice as long to get places. If places aren't closed when I get there, they definitely won't be doing cuts! Fuuuuck

Ignoring the tweens screaming 67

"we had to clean up so much AI slop from our AI slop ad!"

honestly I'dve loved to see the AI hallucination version of the ad, be honest with the BS

It is possible it's concern-trolls, people making issues out of something that isn't (or worse, are wall-of-text descriptive which is worse for hard-of-seeing). But I do keep seeing people frustrated that they're getting shouted at for something they're struggling to do. Alt text specifically.

I'm impressed and frustrated that while it couldn't undestand 'jay' no matter how clearly I pronounced the j, it NEVER had a problem with N, which I expected to get corrected to M so many times. it just-

no
".... we heard--"
*hangs up*

They're not all this bad, but more often than not they're not trying to parse letters.

ohkay things are alright again now, but I HATE having to keep putting this off! BUT, if I can't communicate, I don't really have a choice. I'm not retaining info, I'm not clear, I'm jumping between slow and manic, I cannot make the call today.

But, it IS fine.

AND WHY CAN THE ROBOT NOT HEAR J!! NO MATTER HOW HARD I ENUNCIATE!!!

Took 2 attempts to get through the robot to be put on hold. Hold is fine. Hold means I'm gonna speak to a person soon.

Person picks up!
He talks FAST!!
My brain is struggling already, to listen, parse, and respond.

so he hangs up.

That's... not great.

I don't have Reach, but I do have Opinions!

It's taken me years to find the balance for myself, and I still can't promise I get it right! Details are left out. Or the wrong thing is focused on. A joke may be lost. But it's hard!

If you see no alt text and can provide it, be a trooper, and provide it! Do what could not be done!
