Seems like I can't post anything, anywhere, without getting banned.
FB, reddit, other sites...
I post data, cites, and factual statements, and end up being banned, or my posts deleted as 'off topic'..
Someone posts a thread about 'The far right will have a fascist dictator controlling the USA by 2030'.. LOL.. and I ask for anything the right is doing to further that supposed agenda, while pointing out all the fascist/dictatorial things the left is doing.... and comment gets deleted as 'off topic'.
I go to a post on the LAPD officer that shot/killed that girl in the store and ask what would happen, if i, as a citizen, did the same thing, and what punishment I'd face, or if I'd get off by calling it a 'terrible accident'... Banned, while others post how brave this guy is shooting at a man in a crowded area that wasn't near anyone else.
I ask the 'moderators' who blocked me if they can point out anything I said that was untruthful, or ask how it was 'off topic' when it was directly related to the situation at hand, and they block me as well.. LOL
Seems like dissenting opinions are no longer allowed, anywhere...
The balkanization continues

..... There was a time 15-20 yrs ago when a LGB hat used to be an accepted P.C. thing... what happened to all those old T shirts, flags and hats? Or does the new LGBTQ shirt include "Time to Qualify"......... I'm confused.

Going over the power bill for last month
The meter reading says that we somehow used more than twice the amount of power than the month before and way more than twice the amount from the same period last year
Called the power company..."Well it is the winter and heating costs go up". Our furnace and water heater are gas. Nothing has changed in the past month, haven't started a welding business or a grow op, or run a smelter in the backyard. Christmas lights were all LED
Only thing I could think of is bad meter but the power company swears up and down that it can't be that. It's one of those smart meters

I swear they just tack on more charges when the temp drops.

Used to be, PSE would estimate the bills part of the time and then when they actually read the meter they would adjust to account for actual consumption. Most meters here now can be read remotely so I don't think that's the case anymore. Not sure how they do it in hillbilly country.

Most meters here now can be read remotely so I don't think that's the case anymore. Not sure how they do it in hillbilly country. This bill said that they actually read the meter on 11/29 and then again on 12/29. The previous bill said that the reading on 11/29 was an estimation, so that may be part of it. The previous bill was a little lower than average but not by much. Past three months were: 710, 650, then 1301 kWh. For comparison, in the summer with the AC running the use was right around 1200 kWh I turned a bunch of breakers off and the meter said we were still using 6.199 kW of power. I've got the drier going right now and it still shows 6.199 kW Even though it's a smart meter it's not connected to the internet. They still have to send someone up the holler to wave a magic voodoo box in front of it to read the thing

Amazon promised delivery date was FIVE days back, saw has not even shipped yet. Standard.

Fck those guys. In my experience Amazon CS is the best in the business. Get on chat with them or if you’re unhappy just cancel the order. Post holiday season with a snow storm that’s just melting off now, how much can you really expect from them or any company?
