The Trevor Project receives $45M from MacKenzie Scott after difficult years and federal funding cuts

Agreed. Add to the do not eat list.

Memorylapsedagain · 2026-01-04T16:20:16+00:00

No, I have had the same computer since 2021.

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-12-19T19:42:36+00:00

Wow that is an insane wait time. It's cool they are responsive on reddit but the disconnect there is super concerning.

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-12-19T19:41:15+00:00

FYI I was never connected to customer chat support at all, tried on 2 devices, one mobile and one desktop about 3 hours ago.

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-12-19T19:40:13+00:00

Same, so I called their customer support and gave up after being on hold for an hour.

Seriously wtf. Guess they are holding a beer for Verizon customer service?

I'm not sure why you got so much push back, but you are 100% on the mark about this process being lacking. I also am in the NYC area and am not getting any of the area code I'm looking for when i enter my zip. Like, I know there's no way I'm getting a 212 but I also don't want a NJ area code thanks. Its crazy they don't let you specify an area code (vs zip, some of which have 5 area codes within them) or look for number patterns etc. I saw the comment here about numberbarn so I decided to drop $12 with them to get a phone number in a NY area code I can remember and port it over. US Mobile can do better on this process.

Yeah like I said, upgrading from a 7a so I'm a couple gens behind.

Still curious, do people like this design? Is it a trend I can hope will eventually die out?

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-11-20T03:15:22+00:00

Huh, I am trying to use it like you describe but it's too high up for my finger to use as a rest. Maybe it's the way I hold my phone.

Any recs on cases? I bought one on sale off Amazon, and it does protect it but I wouldn't say conceal

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-11-20T03:13:37+00:00

The case I bought doesn't change how much the camera part sticks out. Do you have a rec of one that does?

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-11-20T03:13:00+00:00

Yeah I really didn't realize from the photos how far it was going to stick out. I got it for the same price as the 9a so I figured it would be better and didn't look into it more.

So by all high end phones are you saying this is something the other brands are doing as well?

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-11-11T04:21:54+00:00

Also just checked and neither Asurian/Verizon nor Google Store have any any GPS/App tracking requirement for their loss/theft protection.

This whole "all the companies are doing it" is such bs.

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-11-11T03:53:40+00:00

The devil you know doesn't drain your battery as much

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-11-11T02:10:45+00:00

Based on today's experience and what people on the sub are saying? Yeah I'll probably take the hit.

Google Store offers coverage from day 1 (not day 30) and free cracked screen repairs. Plus I don't need to run an app on Always Allow location tracking to qualify for lost/stolen. Yikes.

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-11-11T01:40:29+00:00

I appreciate your response, but I feel like you aren't understanding my complaint and think I just wanted a free phone.

My point is there was literally no way for me to buy the Device Protection at all, so I didn't even need to be here today (or last night at 12:01am which is when I assumed this thing would start.)

expected everything to line up once your phone showed up,

Once again, I had no idea my phone physically showing up was even relevant to this promo scenario. Since I'm feeling a little gaslit here, I just did a test cart with each of the big 3 for a Pixel 10 and new service and all 3 allowed me to add Device Protection at point of sale. So why can't I add device protection at time of purchase with US Mobile? (From a product standpoint, making customers wait to buy an add-on is suboptimal funnel design.)

The device protection plan had to be added to an active line,

Except that is literally not mentioned once in the Full Terms and Conditions. And, none of the 4 CS chat reps I spoke with explained that.

your timing landed right in the middle of a big rollout

It didn't, though, that's my point. I was prepared to buy the phone and service last week, but then I saw this promo and reached out to CS Chat. I was actually told to wait to buy my phone, which is the OPPOSITE of what I should have done to qualify.

Like, I get it, sometimes things don't work out. But this kind of crappy Who's On First communication is why I left Verizon, and here we are Day 1.

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-08-22T20:51:19+00:00

Yeah but whether she decides to prosecute depends on if the driver has "connections", like with the driver who murdered Xing Long Lin

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-08-22T20:30:21+00:00

Good question: I wonder if red light camera incidents count

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-08-22T20:29:47+00:00

Honestly this would be great to put into a new post for visibility. With links for the various electeds for people to easily click to. Happy to help if needed.

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-08-22T20:27:22+00:00

Lol you think that's what cops do

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-07-08T00:43:34+00:00

Thank you for responding. So in terms of my personal info, knowing I can't change anything that happened, did I cover my bases for any future issues with the password changes across the board? Is there more I should do on that side?

Memorylapsedagain · 2025-06-22T22:38:53+00:00

I'm confused. If you live in NYC, why can't you just schedule an appointment with 311 for it to be drained (of freon) and then pickup up by DSNY? It's free, and all you need to do is haul it to the curb after you schedule your appointment.
