I looked but didn’t see that in writing for my change healthcare situation, but I sure didn’t take the free monitoring because I’m waiting for the class action, and I have assumed that would disqualify me.
It’s just insulting. Sorry we may have fucked up your life and you have no recourse, but here’s a sticker.

I’m over this, "we were too incompetent and failed at our job, so your personal information is in the hands of a bad entity. Sry, here’s “monitoring”.
No. How about you fucking pay me and suffer consequences instead? If you can’t afford to pay thousands to every affected individual and continue being a business, you don’t get to be a business anymore. Equifax and Change Healthcare are two companies I did not opt into using, but had to, and they both fucked up and lost all of my most sensitive information. People should be in jail and I should have thousands of dollars more in compensation. Instead, I got $7 from Equifax and offered free monitoring from CHC. Make it so it’s debilitating when sensitive information is lost, and maybe places would take security more seriously.

I would quit on the 6th day. I’d show up to my shift for 5 and then not be there on 6. I guess I’d do that until I got fired, but I would never be there on the 6th day.

Same result, way less effort.
Still fun
- Comment on What is "forming questions in an affirmative voice?" 2 weeks ago:
I definitely agree, it’s all contextual. I worked in manufacturing for almost a decade which is very much process based. If something went wrong, we needed to know why so that it could be prevented.
A lot of the work I’ve done has been project based, and I usually think of the people involved as the team. Unless there’s an outlier, the general successes and failures are team wins and losses. These sort of questions obviously aren’t for all situations, but when used properly, it can bring about engagement. Even from critics, at least when given the floor to speak, they may reveal some truths that need addressing.
I have talked like this to children, which is good for them, but also condescendingly when I’ve felt it was warranted. I like to think in this situation it was a ‘moment to grow’ situation rather than condescension.
- Comment on What is "forming questions in an affirmative voice?" 2 weeks ago:
I didn’t think I agree that it’s condescending. To me it’s just your cause analysis. If I had people reporting to me, and someone fucked up, I would want to know how we’re going to prevent it from happening again. To me it’s just cutting to the chase and problem solving.
- Comment on What is "forming questions in an affirmative voice?" 2 weeks ago:
I think this example is used in the context that something preventable happened. You’re more likely to get a better response if asking in the former than the latter.
- Comment on Is John Cena the biggest draw in wrestling? 2 weeks ago:
100% the first person I thought of, as a non watcher of pro wrestling, was The Rock. That’s for sure partially a product of my age and childhood influence, but people who have only seen him in movies still know him as The Rock. It’s an influence that transcends pop culture. To this day people are still trying to figure what he was cooking…

- Comment on How to avoid having cat hair all over my house and clothes every 2 days? 2 months ago:
Idk how different cat hair is from dog hair, but we have a Rottweiler and a German shepherd husky mix, and we vacuum daily. We have a Roomba that we don’t really use anymore, but it filled up daily with dog hair. Very little loose hair in the house now.
- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 2 months ago:
True in theory, but in practice, those are pretty much universally accepted curse words. I personally swear all of the time when I know the audience I’m around, and hear people swearing from across my office, so culturally it’s not a thing where I work or especially my previous manufacturing job. In places that have outside customers or patients, the expectation is generally different and varying levels of masking those outbursts is required, sometimes even saying things like "crap"is too much.
- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 2 months ago:
Until it’s escalated, and then it’s definitely OPs problem. Most jobs have something about professionalism written is their handbook. The coworker will win that fight with hr every time.

You would still have to pass the cert exams. The programs are to prepare you for the exams.
- Comment on I'm tired of every game being live service 3 months ago:
Google search for good games and read through various results and see if there’s something you haven’t seen. Or in Steam customize your search for what you’re looking for and crawl through the options. If you get off the front page of Steam the entire catalog is available to filter and search.

- Comment on What to do with glassware that is impossible to clean 4 months ago:
I put the pipe into a baggie and cover in iso alcohol. I put water in my ultrasonic cleaner and then put the baggie in the water. My cleaner has an option to heat the water, and I do that because I think it helps, but not necessary. Then a 6 minute cycle, I’ll dump the alcohol, fill with water and run a short cycle to rinse everything well. Then just manually rinse everything off until I’m good. Sometimes after the first cycle, I’ll take the baggie out and give it a good aggressive shake, and run a second round just to make sure.
I use a mighty vaporizer most of the time, so I’m usually cleaning the capsules and mouthpiece, but I do my pipe at the same time, so it usually doesn’t get a big tar ball between cleanings. The first time I used it, I had a peanut M&M sized ball that didn’t desolve, but everything else washed free, so it was loose inside. I put my air hose nozzle on the mouth, a quick blast in the trash, and it was done.
A lot of people recommend little jewelry cleaners which I think are under $50, but I grabbed a larger one from harbor freight for a little over $80 and I think it was the right choice. I have a glass bubbler attachment for my vape that gets gnarly on the inside, and it’s kind of long and wouldn’t fit in a smaller cleaner.
- Comment on What to do with glassware that is impossible to clean 4 months ago:
Size depending, an ultrasonic cleaner and alcohol will do the trick. That’s how I clean my glass pipes from resin and debris, and it always comes out spotless with no manual cleaning effort.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 4 months ago:
Excessive emojis make reading difficult. It’s just as bad as posts. That. Are. Written. Like. This. My internal voice pauses for ever period, likewise, I have to interpret every inline emoji. It’s mentally tiring, and while forums like this aren’t formal, when I see abused emoji use, I instinctively write off a comment or post as juvenile and low quality. I’m more inclined to skip reading it entirely because of the extra effort required and my pre judgement of its contents.
Tagging an emoji to the end or light use to help convey emotions is fine and intuitive. I personally like them for quick response and like you, to add a little more context to text where the “voice” may be missed.
- Comment on This Google Photos popup 4 months ago:
That’s too bad for them, but at a certain point, people should be expected to have some level of understanding of the technology they are using. Giving people the information via a highly visible yet unobtrusive notification is more than enough to guide people that don’t understand. If they decide not to follow the clear instructions then that’s on them.
It’s kind of like no child left behind. In theory, it’s a good idea to make sure everyone is in a good position for success, but it’s not good in execution because it negatively impacts more than it helps.
- Comment on This Google Photos popup 4 months ago:
Having a notice that doesn’t occupy the whole screen and can be dismissed temporarily or permanently is a much better and less predatory solution to this problem. This isn’t looking out for the end user, this is urging them into a system where the host can profit off of the user’s data, that also happens to provide a benefit to the user.
- Comment on McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron. 5 months ago:
I think early releases of self checkouts were extremely poor and buggy. I have had minimal issues over the last handful of years, most of them would have been issues a cashier would have needed to call for help for anyway.
I also don’t feel that I’m made to do extra work. I think having someone bag groceries is a luxury anyway, and most of the time it’s done differently than I would have. I can fit all of my stuff into two bags, while a cashier will split it across 5. Many cashier’s also don’t know the difference between various produce items that requires me to tell them, when I could have just done it myself.
The only time I don’t do self checkout is if I’m getting alcohol. At some locations, I would sooner wait behind someone finishing up their self checkout instead going to an empty cashier.
- Comment on McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron. 5 months ago:
I personally love kiosk ordering and by proxy, self check-outs anywhere and everywhere. The less humans I have to work with the better, because humans are slow, social, and make mistakes. That said, McDonald’s kiosks kinda suck, and they are one of the least intuitive interfaces out there IMO.

I grew up in rural Iowa. We didn’t have a fancy side of town.
- Comment on Do you agree with my unpopular opinion about height in fencing? 5 months ago:
Neither tall basketball players or high jumpers actively have someone actively trying to stab them in their larger mass sections. It would be better to compare with baseball where the strike zone can change depending on height. There are some good pictures of Jose Altuve standing next to Aaron judge in the MLB. Basically, tall people have a larger attack vector, and that doesn’t apply in the two sports you mentioned, where more height definitely carries significantly more advantages than disadvantages.
- Comment on Is this just how it’s gonna be till Election Day? 5 months ago:
It is easily the most important feature on my phone. The call screening and spam blocking is unparalleled. I don’t think I have had anything blocked that shouldn’t be, and it maybe messes up 5 or less times a year.
- Comment on Pay for Lawyers Is So High People Are Comparing It to the N.B.A. 6 months ago:
I feel an exception class actions. Lawyers walk away with way too much of damages that should be going to victims. If it were that same .2% it would be ok, but it’s not. It’s on average 25-30% of the total fee, and that’s disgusting.

- Comment on Why is Horizon: An American Saga flopping in theaters? 6 months ago:
I haven’t experienced any of that in a very long time. The movie going experience has shifted significantly over the past decade. Again, it’s not for everyone and some don’t find the entertainment worth the cost, which is fine. I’m just trying to point out that the stereotypical they’re experience isn’t what it used to be. Some people go and spend hundreds at casinos for fun, I’ll occasionally drop a couple of tenners to watch a good movie it the format it was designed to be viewed in. That’s maybe once or twice a year.
