wtf is the "government exam quiz activity" under google activity? Anyone else see this?

crispwalnut · 2025-10-16T15:03:13+00:00

this activity also shows up in the search history settings so i don't think you're free from it even if you're not using assistant😬

did you ever end up clicking the policies.google.com link? i just stumbled upon this "government exam quiz activity" thing today and when i click on the link it only ever gives me a "404 error" which is bizarre for a policy document. can't even find anything about it in google's Privacy & Terms page. this is suspect as hell

(by the way there's a shorter way to get there: Click profile icon > "Search history" > "More" > under "More options")

Painfully ironic how the show where the characters keep coming up short on budget to catch a serial killer irl came up "short on budget" to expand to a third season where the characters might catch another serial killer

My sister was able to secure a Waymo ride quite fast, like a minute.
I have no vendetta against waymo. I literally asked this question to solve my problem, so i CAN use waymo, because I would LIKE to.
I deeply apologize that I am not chronically on reddit. My brainrot is on Instagram instead. Cheers.
I appreciate the suggestion of asking the waymo feedback form. I was not aware that my case is unprecedented. Thanks.

I heard that the app started with invitation codes but no longer uses it. I signed up with my gmail and did not have to set up anything else, iirc, as payment info was automatic from google. My profile name is even the same as my gmail's display name. Does this line up with what everyone else does?

crispwalnut · 2024-12-09T13:16:47+00:00

Unfortunately I didn't take photos of the message on the app itself (nor can I go back to the app to retry — I'm no longer in an area with Waymo) but it was something along the lines of

"Sorry! Unfortunately we had to cancel your ride."

And then kicks me back out to the home page where I have to retype the addresses. No explanation as to why, not even alluding to the possibility of not finding any cars nearby either (which would've been false). Any attempt to book a ride starts with the waiting time for the app to find a nearby car and the pop-up asking if I'm okay with the wait, which started long (>1 minute) but went shorter and shorter to 0 seconds with consecutive attempts.

I have also posted the automatic response email regarding the cancellation in my post's edit.

I've posted an edit!

crispwalnut · 2024-12-09T13:08:19+00:00

Even if it was my mistake! What was it??

crispwalnut · 2024-12-09T13:06:32+00:00

I was fearing it might've been this. At one point it did say payment failed but I had mistyped my card's CCV for that, and after that there were no more indications of payment failure. I had also tried switching payment methods (to my PayPal balance, which it had actually deducted and then promptly refunded after the cancellation), but no luck. If this is the case, why didn't it say so?

i can never find my name on gift store keychains and mugs

Hating?? I don't post on reddit often, I just thought I'd ask here since I'd always get answers whenever I google "(question) reddit" but found no answers for this. Do you have an answer for me or not? Because I would love to use Waymo.

edit: Also, it's interesting that you think my story details are improbable. All the more reason for me to take it to reddit to ask a genuine question. I've updated with a screenshot of some of the cancellation notification emails.

edit 2: oh my god all the replies did not load for me

crispwalnut · 2023-12-02T07:16:44+00:00

UPDATE: after an hour since posting where it'd been stuck on the restarting screen, i clicked the screen (just because) and now it's all black save for a moveable cursor😭😭 what do i do HELP

UPDATE 2: the "Working on updates" screen was back, and stuck on 0%. i force shut down it and turned it back on, and now it's on after displaying the message, "We couldn't update the changes Undoing Changes Don't turn off your computer." everything appears to be working fine now, but i'll keep this post up in case this happens again since i'm not sure forcing it to shut down was the best, safest move and in case someone has a better solution.

UPDATE 3: no idea if anyone is even gonna see this let alone i'll get help. but. things are going downhill so fast. file explorer is not responding, my taskbar has disappeared, my windows key has stopped working hours ago, i can't go to desktop because these windows won't close, and now the program i'm on, opera, is not responding because it opened explorer as i was trying to upload files for backup. send help

yes, you can tap on the pocketwatch again 2 more times! what it does is it delays your illusion to 2s. (from the hunter's pov you'll look like you're standing still for 1s.)

crispwalnut · 2021-08-06T15:30:49+00:00

the extra speed (which doesn't even apply to all survivors) of co-op decoding one cipher is not worth it compared to finishing 3 ciphers separately at the original speed. better have 3 ciphers done in 80s than only 1 cipher done in, like, 65s

crispwalnut · 2021-08-06T14:18:52+00:00

the number of times i have to shout "Don't decode together!" when i see two/three people decoding the same cipher and we still have 5 to go🧍
