@Fuego Fuck. That. Noise.
This stuff makes me so angry, and there's so damned much of it out there. AUGH.
@vahnj ¿Por que no los dos? :D

This is a hurricane evacuation map for where I used to live.
What amazes me is how little people where I live now know about the work that goes into these.
Planning where people can go, how well people can get there, and whether it's just minimal safety, or enough to put up with the entire storm.
I don't envy Florida right now, but I feel for them and remind them: Unscented bleach is essential for after-storm water care if boil orders go into effect.
@thefishcrow Same

Complaining about badly designed government systems
@thefishcrow @vahnj (destroy capitalism)
@Soreth Yup! But only twice a month on days you specify. If you run out of funds before those days come up, your account zeros out and they bill you by mail as though you didn't have an account.
@vahnj Yay internet nosebumps :D *nosebumps keyboard back* tg (the nosebump)

Complaining about badly designed government systems
GoodToGo is a toll system used by Washington -- kinda like EasyPass.
It has a web system that lets you manage your account, including adding funds automatically at specified times of the month.
If your balance reaches 0, their system automatically:
• Flags your account
• Emails AND Calls you to notify you of this
• Bills you at an inflated rate ($2/toll extra!!)
It cannot automatically:
• Add funds to fix the problem
*incoherent screaming*
@literorrery Wow. That's... That's something. o.=.o
@literorrery There was clearly an event that happened here but I think some of the details may have gotten mangled by translation to text?
I just wish it didn't result in landfills packed full of phones made useless by mandatory security updates.
Security is important, but moreso is having air we can breathe and phones that poor people can afford to own without having to replace them every year or two, y'know?
Aaaugh. I'm just hella salty today; please feel free ignore
