Omfg so much EASIER! "yeah I'll come check it out this afternoon, here are my rates". I only went with the manufacturer service in the first because I thought they'd be able to have all the parts and get it done in a day. Yeah fuck that shit forever now

I said 1 thing to the chatbot and it was "connect me to a human" and the bot typed "will do, wait time is x minutes". That was the wait time for CALLS, not chat. Chat does not have human agents. Instead of telling me there were no human agents it just lied. So you were wrong in both aspects, begone

Except I can't even talk to him in the notes, I don't get to add information when I reschedule. And apparently nobody is reading his notes. I'm exploding whatever stupid AI admin thing they implemented with my mind it's JUST there to make things harder for BOTH the company AND customers

Like it's not the technicians fault at all, he literally had said in the first receipt there is no parking. The problem is just we cannot communicate with each other where the parking is without 5 layers of AI administrative incompetence and obfuscation we gotta talk to each other in the damn notes

"thank you for holding, we are experiencing high call volumes at the mome-" do ya think your AI agent might be causing this? Do you think people call customer service for fun? I'd much rather just call the technician and tell him where to park. But nooooo I gotta do this shit

Kei with the bad joints @okeibai.bsky.social · 3h
Instead I gotta call customer service, who last time I called already told them all this, they l ALSO does not have the technicians number because the system that handles arranging service schedules is probably AI. While their useless AI agent can't tell the difference between a call and a chat

In a comedic level of AI incompetency, the technician that was supposed to fix my laundry machine left without knocking again. I see his notes on the receipt "is anybody reading these notes?? There's no parking for the truck" [deep breath] there is. I could tell you where if I had their number

They also keep complaining that people are disposing of bulk trash in front of the waste disposal garage. Well where do you want people to put it then. In front of the complex? Stop sending us warning emails, people who put that furniture there can't hear you anymore they've moved out

One of the units have windows that are immediately blocked by mailboxes. I don't think bikes are the thing that lowers the value of that unit

The people living here are not responsible for the shitty design choices of the contractors that built this place. You know not a single architect was involved because this complex is exactly 3.5 storeys tall. Anything 4 storeys and above requires an architect and engineer. It's so blatant

If they're going to be petty I'm going to be petty back. I'm going to send them a bunch of pics of "ugly" stuff on the grounds, like how the hand rails on the stairs to my unit have missing supports, and how most units only have windows directly facing the waste disposal shed.

I suspect they are 找存在感. The condo board don't even live here... They had the nerve to dock people for having seasonal lights but took them 4 years to scrape the paint from my inaccessible windows. Clown shit.

It's so fuckin goofy like. I HAVE my own parking spot why the hell would I park in visitor. If someone tells you they don't have a car to put in visitor, you don't send them a picture going "are you suuuuuure", you go "oh, our mistake" and try to figure out why you thought it was their car.

Kei with the bad joints @okeibai.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
this is the same management that sent me an email threatening to charge me to tow my car for illegally parking in visitors spots. When I told them I don't have a car to park in visitor spots, they then sent me a photo as if that'll magically make it my car. AS PER MY LAST EMAIL, THAT'S NOT MY CAR -

Also insulting that being unsightly is a given reason when there's eight million lawn signs everywhere for the municipal election. At least try harder to think of a lie

Also, even in the photos they attached to the emails "safety" is not an issue. They're not even extending onto sidewalks they're tucked away DEEP into the building complex it's so goddamn HOA nonsense. One is across from the garbage disposal unit, I don't think bikes are the eyesore there!!

I had to invoke the spirit of a white lady Karen to send an email asking to clarify if this is admitting the management was planning to do theft of children's property, as children are not getting these notices. Looking forward to how they'll respond to being thieves who steal from children

Most of these are children's bikes, children who don't have access to the underground bike storage???

Like look at this shit. Rephrased this is literally saying by putting your bike on the bike racks for bikes, management will steal your bike and throw it out.

It's really funny because management sent us an email complaining about there being children's bikes. On the bike rack. For bikes

I'm aware that the weird yaasification of energy drinks is a recession indicator crossed with a whole lot of other worrying societal trends (supplement grifting, gig economy, substance dependency, obsession with thinness, slop in general etc) but you gotta admit it's really REALLY funny

Nowadays nobody uses the wubi method because it's faster to send voice texts, handwrite it on a touchscreen, type it out via pinyin than learn the wubi method. The first step being you have to know how to handwrite Chinese in the first place lol. It's completely obsolete but I love the design...

Look at it. Type words by stroke order? The mechanical design of it is genius

True elitism is using the handwriting keyboard on your phone to look up anime. Even higher tier than that is using the wubi keyboard to look up Chinese dramas (I do want to learn the wubi keyboard though I think the design of it is really interesting)

The anime title "discourse" is a silly nothingburger with both sides calling the other elitist, I really do think it's funny. Why stop at Romaji. Go all the way coward, write the titles in kanji as the creators intended. Manually type it out every time you want to look it up.

And I mean... I've done it too with pulling all my shit off of xhitter, meta and insta. Specifically for not wanting to feed the Machine. I WANT to share my work, I just really don't want to help train AI... So does many other artists. Net effect, internet sucks more now

Even when you go on weird nerd subreddits for troubleshooting it's a wall of "post deleted by user with mass post deleter" sighhhh. This was not a thing before it's obvious LLM disproportionately pulls from Reddit

The other issue with AI making the internet worse, even apart from the misinformation is that people are removing stuff because they don't want to be used for training data. Even when they are happy to share the information for free they are forced to take protective measures because of goddamn AI

Like the anatomy "rules" are a general ballpark guideline for when you try to figure out why something doesn't look right. But following them too strictly and you're going to end up with same-face same-body syndrome. Same with everything else

Nobody's going to notice if something is like 10° off so long as it looks alright. Even in photorealism, the real world isn't as exact as you'd think. "That joint doesn't bend like that" people with "weird" anatomies are more common than you think. There are more exceptions to every rule than not

The "draw a lot, preferably from life" advice isn't to train your motor skills or memory, it's to rapid-fire make you visually evaluate a bunch of things. By training your observation you train your ability to pick out what's important to put on paper. Visual hierarchy stuff

I keep seeing people do this... if you are getting into drawing: if you have decent handwriting, you don't need to do dexterity "exercises". You have the physical skills, getting "good" at drawing is more about training your visual judgement than physical
