PACKAGE DELIVERY BLUES

So had to file a complaint with Purolator. I literally sat here all day the other day waiting for my package to show up. I was also literally watching the security camera on the front door the entire time. Driver never came here at all.

The Amazon email had showed it arriving on Monday (was a Friday it came). Thing is, the driver did NOT reschedule it for delivery at all, he dropped it at the Depot downtown and they called me to come get it.

So I got them on Twitter and they tracked it and said they will file a complaint for me.

I had to get a friend to drive me downtown in over 90 temperatures and in the middle of a street fair. Sigh. So he had to drop me off then I had to lug a heavy package to the corner and text him to come get me. We then had to hold up traffic to load it in the car and get it home.

The fact that I am disabled and don't own a car made it worse of course. But the driver just did NOT want to deliver it. Instead like literally every single time I had to deal with Purolator they dropped it at the Depot downtown. They have never delivered to my door.

I went looking on Amazon to find a place to enter how you prefer to have it delivered, and there seems to be no such place at all. So I can't say "never use them again".

UPS on the other hand, phones me and says "tomorrow we will be there around this time". This is nice, as these guys I had to rely on the tracking info to figure it out. Canada post on the other hand 90% of the time just leaves it in the lobby when there IS a package locker there, but that would mean putting a key in my box and that would ad 30 seconds on to delivery time - sigh.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
