  • These ChatGPT articles are ruining the internet, it’s almost all I can find now when searching for information.

    I ask a question in google and then get sent to a website which has a novel about why my question is a good question and then gives the simplest 5 outcomes/solutions (i.e. did you turn it off and on again?) with zero photos or diagrams or anything and it’s just a giant waste of my time.

    I only need to open a webpage for like 5 seconds before I know it is going to be worthless.

    Is there a way to blacklist a web domain from ever popping up in your Google search results again?


  • I think it’s a terrible idea to run a sitting vice president as the candidate for the next election.

    Since people often want change, they will ask “what will you do different?” And the VP will have to respond “Nothing” otherwise people will ask “Well, why aren’t you doing that now?”

    It will be interesting to see how Vance responds to these questions if they decide to run him to take over for Trump.




  • My parents are in a kerfuffle with some agency over COVID funds.

    My dad got laid off around the time of COVID for unrelated reasons, not because of COVID or shutdowns in anyway.

    He then applied for employment insurance since he qualified.

    Without anyone asking, he somehow was instead put him on some sort of COVID EI thing instead of regular EI

    Then later on someone decided the COVID EI thing needs to be reimbursed or something so they are asking for all the money back despite the fact he would have gotten more money from regular EI and never asked for the COVID stuff.

    It’s been like 4 years now and they are still trying to get the money back and won’t even talk to them to try and fix the situation, just keep sending letters.
