ALT The chatbot states "Here's how you can contact us:" Only a Phone dialog is presented to me. I ask "And how long will I be on hold?" The chatbot responds, "Give me a moment to check agent availability." Then the chatbot repeats, "Here's how you can contact us:" Once more only a phone dialog is presented to me. I have repeated this twice (not shown). I reply, "Is there anyone at UPS that even cares about their work right now? Or have we collectively decided that the only way to organize any of this is to shuffle it off to chatbots that provide no information whatsoever? (But we pretend it's better because we call it AI.)" There has been no reply returned. I loathe this.
ALT An email sent to my provincial representative complaining about a terrible law. The government intends to use the "notwithstanding clause" - a measure that says despite violating certain rights enumerated in the Canadian constitution, the government wants to pass this legislation. I strongly oppose the notwithstanding clause under pretty much any circumstances, I find using it indefensible with Bill 9.
ALT Lucy van Pelt's psychiatrist booth, this year decorated in the theme of Dr. Zhivago. The sign above says "Poetic Help, 5¢". There is a smaller sign hanging below it that says "Only in Russian" in Cyrillic text. The sign on the booth says "The Doctor is... Searching for Lara." There is a fake medical wagon to the side, the wheels turn slowly. To the opposite side is a cemetery with Orthodox crosses, a faux maxim gun hidden amongst them. Our good doctor looks wistfully between a bowl of candy and a carved pumpkin. The pumpkin has a large heart with three figures in silhouette, a man flanked by two women.
