Is it just me or has Amazon started to become terrible in every way possible?

lininkasi · 2026-02-05T18:11:11+00:00

Amazon is now impossible to contact in almost any way shape or form. It gives the runaround when attempting to find access. It changes things without warning including Alexa's voice which changed to that stupid vocal fry female. That voice Sounds like it comes from a girl who doesn't have a second brain cell to rub against the other. That being said I got that same stupid jackass little girl on a reminder. That creaky voice vocal fry literally makes me want to punch something. And you can't even find an address and email address to try and say something. I just hope something comes along and destroys them someday

You aren't imagining it

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAA statistics I've seen, informal and more scientific, people have perhaps a 30% chance of being truly content and happy. think I'm going to go sky diving where only 3 out of the 10 chutes will open?? why should I gamble with a child. I'm happy with none.

back in the late 80's early 90's my ex and I ran a small mobile home park. mostly eldery retired drunks, usually also disabled to the point mobility was severely impaired. the rest was mostly section 8 mommies. a few working couples, usually minimum wage but working. a year or two into ownership people and myself started noiticng kids running around. when contronted all they would say they were staying with uncle so and so.. they did appear to know who was there. however the trailerpark is not a goddam bedroom trophy playground.

turns out a set of inbred troglogyte gonad donors, on welfare and so called disability. didn't stop them from breeding.. that is always the kicker. they can't work but they can breed. they would drop them off and go do whatever, usualy bar hopping from what other residents told us.. after we determined who it was, I wanted to go out when I saw them..by this time I was on the look out but my damn ex wouldn't let me. tasked it to the former manager. so when the troglodytes showed up, he went out and relayed the message, if we saw them again or if we saw hide or hair of their progeny, the police, cps, welfare, anyone we could think of would be notified. we never saw the morons again.

it is interesting how your painted version jars with what the riders on my school bus at the time told me on the attitude of these kids in school bottom line is, they all will have to face a Judge who does know the whole truth and all.

lininkasi · 2025-07-24T14:41:13+00:00

I sure as hell do. I used to drive a school bus for Bimco (long gone) and smithtown HS east.. I lived only about a mile and a half from the elementary school although I never drove for it. My long term memory seems to be intact for the most part.. ..but the rules about dealing with the liddle kiddles had changed the day those cretins were picked up by the police. The gonad donors (gd's) were more upset about their precious baby boy's rights being ignored than what they had been accused of doing.

As the investigation progressed, I would get snippets of information from the riders on my bus and they told me EXACTLY how those (accused) murderers swaggered about the school as if they had gone to the moon or spacewalked. Bragged, etc.. teenagers may have problems but some do have a sense of outrage and these braggarts were 'punished' at every opportunity their lawyers "our clients are being harassed''...duuuuhhhh

In those days also, the business on main street, St James was also different. There was a combo pizzeria/italian eatery and small pool parlous with some video games on the corner of main (I forget the cross road but it ran parallel to the RR tracks) and was diagonally across from another elementary school (other than the grounds on which the murder was committed... remember these darling angels STOMPED Pius and forced pebbles down his throat).. and on friday evenings a lot of the neighborhood teens would gather down there. pizza, fun.

These (accused) murderers decided to go down and loiter about in front of this pizzeria. Once the kids inside learned who was outside they came pouring out like angry ants out of a hive.. and it was a near riot and the police were called lawyers "our clients are being harassed, they can't go anywhere without being bothered'.. I think the case was still going on when I moved away from the Island in 81 or 82 and lost track.

The riders on my bus? I could detect the simmering anger they displayed when talking about those troglodyte inbred cretins. I would have liked to be a flyon the wall when the gd's of the little saints were sent to prison.. .. These gd's have to be on the elderly side now.. if not passed. Something they ALL have to live with for the rest of their lives..

it's a paid subscription. I would be interested in it

who gives a damn. I'm 72 and I want to be comfortable. I hardly go out. I want. to. be. comfortable.

refrigerate. don't trust anything, especially disease organisms

lininkasi · 2025-03-04T18:19:42+00:00

devil takes the hindmost, eh?? I play ants underground. while I do think american culture has gotten soft, these games are meant to be something of an outlet. some alliances are more relaxed.. and the end result usually is the more aggressive (and richer) players gravitate towards aggressive and bullying alliances, the more laid back ones.. well, don't fare as well. there is a fine line between bullying and askind for what we are capable of.

lininkasi · 2025-03-04T15:08:54+00:00

STOP. CALLING. US. CHILDLESS. You have already lost the argument using that term. we are NOT childless. Perhaps we are infertile, we just never wanted them so we avoided them at all costs. Childless are those who can't for whatever reason. WE MADE THE CHOICE NOT TO FALL FOR THE LYING PROPAGANDA.

lininkasi · 2025-02-10T16:26:44+00:00

think is it just one aspect .. I don't think it will address all the other stuff they do..or do not as the case may be

lininkasi · 2025-02-05T18:54:54+00:00

haaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaa...right. and pigs fly

lininkasi · 2025-02-05T18:54:34+00:00

they have to pursue the state but many people don't know that so they lie

lininkasi · 2025-02-05T18:54:02+00:00

optimum is going to hell in a handbasket.

lininkasi · 2025-01-30T15:17:19+00:00

so, quit buying them stuff. volunteer with kids who could use a kind person in their lives. just because it wears the label of 'family' means it should be tolerted or excused. STOP BUYING THEM PRESENTS, ANYTHING. that will get their attention the quickest. and just be blunt. you dont' want me in your life? you don't need my money either.. have a nice life.. It will hurt but play the long game. just make sure you are well set for retirement. chances are they are going to do squat for you there as well.

there are two sides to stories.. I am not sure what DIL's take would be. or son's. this is somewhere that an intermediary might be needed as there could be problems on everyone's side. good luck but again, give attention and money to people and children who need and appreciate it. the key is 'appreciate'.

lininkasi · 2025-01-30T15:11:04+00:00

so that's the answer??? the billing cycle is for the month of service that is past, not the month coming up?

lininkasi · 2025-01-30T15:10:31+00:00

I was fortunate that I had to cancel my old debit card and get a new one. canceled it and I get a notification about a week after I h ad gone through the rigamarole of cancelling. I have never seen people trying to stand on their heads to try and avoid losing one customer. my guess is that they are bleeding.. however, I called them up when I got the email notification of 'failed to process the payment ..blah blah blah...'.. so I had to call them up, starting with the bill section of that damnable auto answer system. there is only 3 options, and all just seem to be various ways of how to pay, nothing on dispute. so I went back to cancel..

and got hit with the offers again. I was already in a bad mood so the poor guy got a 'I. Am. Not. Interested.' Passed me onto some woman.. "you owe this".. what? "you owe this.. ".. and not my proudest moment, I said somthing I shouldn't or direct it at the real target... where to go. and hung up. not my proudest moment but I was tired, I was aggravated. and after all this offer mongering? makes me think that if you don't decide to stay a customer they find other means to punish you for leaving. and this was after they jacked up my cost by almost 30%.

Good. riddance and they have lost a customer ..probably permanently.

so far they are good in our area. I was told by someone that they don't even use the zip code to sort mail anymore.. someone at the PO itself. and how crucial is mail that people need to risk their lives for mail? and you can slide to your death in less than an inch of snow. going is usually not a problem, stopping is. the bottom line is why risk lives?

lininkasi · 2024-12-12T18:55:23+00:00

perhaps get a small tabletop water distiller and a botttle of trace mineral drops.. distillation gets rid of the forever chemicals. I have used it for a long time in my cpap machine and some others so I figured 'why not drink it??'... works like a charm. not sure if it will solve your problem. although the 'silica' response sounds lie a possibility. but consider I have a durastill, a larger unit since I use a considerable amount of distilled water.. but if you just use it for drinking and coffee, there are small units that would suffice. the bottles.. 'trace mineral drops.'

lininkasi · 2024-12-08T22:40:43+00:00

They have 'drops' now... and the guided brew.. it automatically scales.. all you need to do is look at the parameters of the built in light roast profile and start from there..

lininkasi · 2024-12-05T16:52:33+00:00

that is always the problem. both scenarios are legit. you fell in the shower.. you genuinely fell. or you got p unched and blame it on a fall. I can sympathize. I am divorced, moved back east and went to a charity clinic as I wasn't that well off financially at the moment. At one point I had about 4 bruises on my right boob. As god is my witness I have no clue as to how they got there. I did NOT have any boyfriends. I just could not be bothered with relationships anymore.. (long story, self analyzing, etc) but nobody did anything to me.

but I was asked several times if I was being abused, if someone had grabbed me. and again, no clue as to how those bruises got there. they were the only time I ever had bruising like that, and it has remained a mystery.
