Doordash support is absolutely the worst. My credit card gives me free credits towards Doordash every month, but for some reason I can’t use it, and calling doordash and speaking with support is a nightmare. I have been given ever excuse possible about what the problem is, without any effort taken to actually address it.

I don’t necessarily blame the support agents, they just don’t seem to have any ability or knowledge to actually look into account level issues, which is a company issue. Trying to debug the issue, you start to notice a lot of other weird things with the app and their processes which seem like things are held together with shoestrings behind the scenes. At this point I have just given up, since I felt like I spent more effort on the phone with their support than the credits are actually worth.

Just like Michael Jordan said: “Republicans buy sneakers, too.”

Buzzfeed News used to be high quality journalism, funded by ad driven low quality Buzzfeed content. I am not sure if it was financially sustainable since they had to do layoffs, but I think partially that could be because Buzzfeed’s audience moved to Instagram and TikTok and stopped interacting with “Which Game of Thrones character are you?” quizzes.

Wish that were the case where I live. Still I’ve noticed that what they’re now doing is offering the same price to everyone, but then giving the option of free Netflix for 1 year as a sign up bonus or the equivalent credit towards your service for that year, which effectively is the same practice.

And notifications if you @ mention them in a child comment, like this: @tlekiteki@lemmy.dbzer0.com

What’s that?

According to the modlog they were banned already for “DM Spam”

And Coca-Cola Zero Sugar is no joke. Zero Sugar in every can. Share a Coke with a friend today

“It’s like people only do things because they get paid. And that’s just really sad.”

I got the same thing, but assumed it was because I made a comment yesterday about the brand in mention, and this is someone’s idea of an April Fools joke?

Why would a 302 temporary redirects for engramma.dev → app.engramma.dev be classified as “Social engineering content”?

Double the twists, half the surface area

IMO, Lina Khan was maybe the best appointment of the Biden presidency and as FTC chair, pushed hard for consumers, even for unlikely winnable battles. Unfortunately the click-to-cancel ^[1] rule was struck down by the Court of Appeals, but I think if she were still in that position she’d fight the ruling. You’re right that the legislature needs to do their job and formally outlaw these practices, rather than having this be brought up by the FTC and struck down on a procedural matter.

What info are y’all giving away when signing up for a gym membership where it could even go to collections? Is this for an annual contract? If you’re not on a contract and rack up unpaid months, it seems unlikely to me. Especially for a physical business where a late payment of $20 would deny you entry until you pay. I guess states with poor consumer protection laws this can happen if you sign up for a year or more and don’t pay I guess?

Sorry to say but you got scammed. They could have tried to take you to small claims court, but the burden is on them not you. The credit card company sided with you, if they have a problem, then can take it up with Visa or whoever, not you.

Why would you take a credit hit. It seems like once a year, something random comes up in a credit card statement, and requires a dispute. Those aren’t sent to credit agencies AFAIK, although i’ve never been ruled against any, so I’m not 100% about this.

FWIW, Sir is not gender neutral in Gamestop.

On three separate occasions over the course of many years, I ran into an issue and searched Stack Overflow for anyone else having the same problem. The approved answer was exactly what I needed, and went to go hit the upvote button, only to realize I can’t upvote it because I was the author of the answer.

I watched the broadcast TV show leading up to the movie, and the behind the scene of how they pulled off Museum Heist was one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to watch the movie.

FWIW, Brave still supports manifest v2 and the full version of uBlock Origin. Chrome has uBO Lite since they only have manifest v3 now. Firefox and LibreWolf don’t have to deal with this, and still support the real uBlock Origin. I’m not sure what exactly Brave “shield” is doing, but I think if you use EFF’s privacy badger on Firefox and block third party cookies, you are getting the same thing.
