if privatisation is so great then how come every one of my parcel deliveries handled by a private courier manage to have some kind of crippling flaw in the process
This time I ordered a couple of things from Bed Bath & Beyond for the kitchen and somehow FedEx has simultaneously managed to deliver it four days ago and also not deliver it so. whee.
Fuck if I know what the premium cost of private courier service covers, lol, it ain't fuckin delivery
anyway I've already contacted them (after the usual slog of their automated reply service) and they've opened up an "investigation" so we'll see if that'll ever go anywhere
I would also have contacted Bed Bath & Beyond but their support lines, as with most companies, are non-existent
their online chat feature does not seem to work at all and their phone number is just an FAQ with prerecorded messages
what the hell do I pay shipping for lmao
also this is what Bed Bath & Beyond had to say
commerce is the act of trade or conducting business, capitalism is commerce practised with human suffering on all levels
update: they called me today to let me know on the status of the investigation
"according to the courier they left it with the concierge,did you check in with them?"
YES I DID THEY'RE THE ONES WHO HANDLE ALL THE MAIL AAAAAAAH

Missing some Tweet in this thread? You can try to

@Patreon Why don't you ever ask us prior to announcing it to some special select people? Why don't you ever ask ANYONE in advance? Is a five-minute survey or a tweet just way too difficult or am I missing something here?
Do you guys not fucking remember that time you absolutely wrecked $1 pledges as a fun Christmas present in 2017, which managed to wipe out 20% of my income in a lovely sweep and that took me nearly a YEAR for me to recover that shit?
A fascinating thread, and as a fellow Japanese person it's interesting to see how Yellow Peril manifests itself in the worst way possible as the genre gets more co-opted by western corporate powers
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Yellow Peril refers to the racism and phobia of East Asia, which was characteristic of western countries in the 20th century (ironically, since this was also the age of Orientalism and Japonisme)
While Yellow Peril can and does refer to anti-Asian immigration laws and then internment during WWII, it does extend out to very uncomfortably recent times...
I think the funniest thing about CP77 is not the wealth of bugs but also just how automatic and everywhere bug finding and reporting is
I don't follow gaming news relaly, I don't really seek it out - it either ends up on my Twitter timeline or via some means like YouTube subscriptions
but like a couple of mornings ago I woke up, checked a random Telegram group chat I'm in and someone found a bug where they could accelerate by walking along street gutters like they were on a CSGO surf server
