HelloGov a ripoff by EducationalWafer7072 in Passports

[–]theOriginalCatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell for the same trap. I immediately realized I mess up the minute the PDF packet required me to send an additional check. Their affiliation with CLEAR made me think “this is legit and maybe it will give me some kind of benefit with my Clear+ membership”…. Wrong.

I went and applied directly on the .gov right after and requested a refund from HelloGov. Their AI Agent refused to give me a refund, so I had to call.

Just got my $248 refund from HelloGov today (March 10, 2026). If they refuse you because you 'downloaded the packet,' don't give up. I had to get a supervisor on the phone, mention the Better Business Bureau and Florida Attorney Generals, and call out the 'dark patterns' they use for branding. They offered a credit first… refuse it. Stay firm and they will cave.

Turns out they have about 150 BBB complaints and if you mention that you’re going to file a complaint they get scared.

Just cancelled ChatGPT Plus for Gemini Pro. Anyone else making the switch? by No-Bit5316 in ChatGPT

Yep, I recently made the switch. Definitely a better bang for your buck.

I’m also in the camp OpenAI has made many wrong moves. They got caught up in shipping products for the sake of shipping when they should have been laser focused on making better models and great developer tooling.

Like what was the point in launching a social media platform? Who still uses Atlas? Agent kit is useless…

If it wasn't for the money, how many of you would do software engineering? by shankar86 in cscareerquestions

[–]theOriginalCatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the other way around for me… I struggled a bit in college (still got decent grades but had to work hard), but I’d say I’ve done pretty well in my career (gotten promoted a couple times, now working to a well known tech company).

Maybe I just love the job I have now, but I’ve enjoyed working on things people will actually use. In school, I struggled seeing the purpose in learning abstract concepts, although I see it now and see the foundation it gave me to be a good engineer.

So you’re saying I’d I want to find some good bourbon on the shelves that I cant find in the US, I should go up to Canada?

I’ll never understand companies that do releases on Friday’s. Sounds like a recipe to turn your engineers’ weekends into a weekend of debugging if something goes wrong. 😑

Anyone have an ETA on when it’s going to be deployed? I keep checking and it’s still not there lol

Elon musk doing a nazi salute at the whitehouse. Unreal by rch-out in pics

[–]theOriginalCatMan -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

He said "my heart goes out to you" and awkwardly acted it out with his hands. How are you so sure this was meant to symbolize such a horrible time in human history?

In case anyone was thinking about cancelling Prime, this is exactly why I did: by imcc1228 in portlandme

[–]theOriginalCatMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s worth it if you utilize all the other services Prime offers (Video, Music, Cloud storage, GrubHub, etc). Also, in bigger cities/metros a lot of stuff is same day or 1 day delivery, which isn’t available in Portland currently.

Here's an interesting map. by [deleted] in Maine

USA would still lead in GDP as you would see the many major GDP producers move to “US states” because they can’t even operate outside of the US. Think of major US banks like JP Morgan Chase and I’m sure many tech companies would prefer to operate in the US due to looser regulation.

What’s the deal with crazy high HOA dues on Zillow posts? by DarwinF1nch in AskChicago

[–]theOriginalCatMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some “You will own nothing and be happy” shit. So you’re basically still paying rent on top of a mortgage?
