OH ALSO!! On my iPhone at least, his calls went straight to voicemail, but if he hung up and didn’t wait for the tone/leave a message, his calls went straight wouldn’t even show up in my call log, so I had truly no idea he called me several times!

My dad lives alone and is currently barely ambulatory. I go over every day, but he often calls me emergently to come help him! This is a pretty big glitch, if you have Verizon check and make sure your people haven’t been trying to call!

The kicker- the call blocker feature comes with some of their plans- so it can’t always just be turned off. Plans in my hubby’s name, somehow I can turn off the call blocking but when he did on his phone, they turned his back on?!?

Tried to open the Verizon call blocker app, it wasn’t working. Went to App Store to see if it needed updating- I didn’t buy the recent reviews say this is not an isolated incident, lots of people are missing calls from their contacts.

Had an issue with Verizon recently- our plan comes with a call blocker feature meant to block spam calls. For the past three days, my dad’s (who is definitely in my contacts, I have him marked to alert in ALL modes) calls have all gone to voicemail, as if he was spam.

Kat’s encouraging people to 3D print them instead of buying in bulk from Amazon?!? Whistles are being used as community response/warning for neighborhoods when ICE is in the area/making arrests. These are cheap to print and distribute for free.

I’m thinking about doing my taxes. That are due (after an extension) in a few days. Probably put it off another day though. But, I have collected the various documents I will need to do said taxes, so that’s a sorta win, right? IRS agents are all working for ICE now anyway, right?

It is a policy designed to be used against students- they can enforce conduct rules on them. Seems like it gives non students more freedom of speech rights in the campus than the students, which is very backwards imho.

Not at all, she SUPPORTS those bombings

I was in Lowe’s a month ago and the Christmas section was already front and center, the Halloween section already pushed to the side (but still present, they had some ridiculously large skeletons)

On the other hand, the next Dem elected President will be able to make fixes to the federal govt that will be tangible- they’ve broken so much, so quickly, that it will be evident (the damage they’ve done) by 2028. There will be many opportunities to make real improvements in people’s lives.

The fact that I saw 2(!) articles about this “incident”in my newsfeed today, and one was in Forbes. Journalists who scroll SM for stories about SM discourse/drama drive me crazy.

If she said the same thing but about Charlie Kirk she would be banned from SM and be on multiple target lists, not just on the outs with Qanon.

My kid has graduated, but for a few years I got to enjoy a daily parade across the carpool lane of several broods. It was all very orderly and peaceful, it’s like there’s a peace agreement between these geese and the HS community. I love it so much!

But they can also coexist with humans pretty peacefully! There are several families that make their way to our local high school every year to birth/raise their young. The kids spread out over the campus for lunch (we have a pitifully small cafeteria) and there are no goose attack incidents.

For who? Bluesky? There is no serious Republican user base or politician in this app, every American user here agrees the Republicans are awful. But blaming Rs won’t make them change, we need Dems who will fight back if politicians are gonna help us out of this mess.

My lawn guy is a former neighbor, he met my 22yo when he was born! He is amazing and also at least 10 yrs older than me (48) and I know he’s gonna retire at some point which I’m excited for him, but dread it because he’s the only one left that I’ve known my whole adult life.
