Heads up: If you get an unexpected "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" email, it's a phishing attempt. Don't open it. Don't download any attachments. Don't click any links inside. Just delete it. Read this article to learn more.

That Gmail Delivery Status Notification Is Probably a Scam

If you are getting delivery failure messages in your Gmail inbox, don't engage with them. Scammers are using mailer-daemon spam to spread malicious links.

Give me a bed with either DS9 Worf, First Contact Worf, or Picard Worf in it, and I would make babies with him in a heartbeat... and I would be glad I can't literally have babies with him, because he's not a great father. 😂

Would you listen to this album?

A member of Congress just stole my shopping cart. How's *your* day going?

When deejaying isn't paying the bills and you decide to just give up and go live on a farm... but a very small part of you holds onto the dream.

Why do tech companies keep giving us stuff we didn't ask for, and keep *not* giving us the stuff we *do* ask for? How is that a successful business model? 😩

There's gotta be better options for data deletion services out there... I heard good things about EasyOptOuts on a few episodes of the Surveillance Report vlog, but that's about it.

I feel this a lot too...

Is there a reason you posted your comment as a picture instead of plain text?

Patrick @trickvro.bsky.social · Sep 10

There's something about those goofycute guys. And then there's the uglycute ones.

Patrick @trickvro.bsky.social · Sep 10

Awww! 🥰

Patrick @trickvro.bsky.social · Sep 10

OMG! Glad you're okay. And good thing you're in such capable hands. Or paws.

@haha that's the sex number

@what if phones but too much

All the "sounds like [...] but okay" ones.

@there really is a tag group for everything

There was one I got a lot of use out of early on, @really puts your cortex in a vortex. That was just the funniest shit to me for some reason.

I haven't used Facebook in almost a year. You know what I really miss about it? Tag groups. It was so fun spending time in shitposting Facebook groups, tagging funny tag groups in the comments and finding all the other wacky tag groups other people were finding.

Patrick @trickvro.bsky.social · Sep 10

Haha, that's the sex number.

Have you tried reversing the polarity?

This morning, I was reminded that we live in a world where the word "Comirnaty" exists, and just... You ever have one of those days?

More pics from that camping trip! Milking it for all it's worth at this point. 😂 After a brief detour into BC, I came back across the border and went to Spokane. Camped the night on top of Mount Spokane, which had some gorgeous views.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

A photo of a strange breakfast on a marble table. There is a mason jar full of coffee, a single serving of yogurt, a plate with biscuits and sausage gravy, and a bowl filled to the brim with ice cream.

Here's what's truly fucked up about this. No one actually talks like that. I know the agent is answering the phone like that because their boss told them they *must* do it. No normal person is that obsequious—unless their job is on the line. Which is ghoulish.

Patrick @trickvro.bsky.social · Sep 4

Like, okay, hold your agents to a certain standard of politeness. Make your Boomer customers happy. Whatever. But greeting customers like that is not polite, it's groveling and servile. I don't want to be treated like I might be the King of England. It makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Patrick @trickvro.bsky.social · Sep 4

I want to know which suit decided it was a good idea to train call center employees to answer the phone with "to whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?" I promise that no ties will be fed into any wringers. I just want to have a word with them.
