Review of duolingo

Four plus years and still can't speak French

After more than four years with Duolingo and more than 1,500 consecutive days of training, I'm not even close to a useful conversational level. For two or three years I had a paid subscription, but now I'm about to quit. The speed for loading a lesson has dropped far below an acceptable level. The lessons focus too much on picky grammatical issues instead of useful conversation practice. The computer generated voices did not prepare me to understand what people said to me In France last summer. The list goes on. Maybe it is a good start, but I had hoped to be far ahead of where I am now.

Review of duolingo

What happened to the humour

What happened to the humour? This is such a good example of where not to use AI. They’ve handed it over to bots and now it’s dull. I’d rather read a dictionary. Bossy little bots.

Review of doordash

We started with DD in 2017 and its been…

We started with DD in 2017 and its been Terrible.From having issues with timely pick-ups by the dasher, to having drug addicts show up in pajamas to take orders to having drunk dashers pass out in our dining area while waiting for the order. Just awful service and imagine we pay a 30% fee for this!IF you question a dasher about their name or do you have a hot bag they'll leave you a negative review and act like they are the victim because you (the business) cares about the outcome of the delivery. We have 7 or 8 negative reviews due to this. Always on yelp generally. Sometimes they will tag team bad reviews and tell their buddies to leave as well.And about the dashers name, they often send in a sub dasher. Not approved just a friend they give their phone to and now that person is the dasher. It is sometimes a young child, will at times appear homeless or somebody very unkempt and they are there to deliver your product??Cops have been called. We have had dasher come in threatening staff saying the dasher said we harassed them. when showing the video to police and others of the entire visit and the absence of any such nonsense they just shrug. Police reports and multiple videos of dasher pick ups have been retained as evidence.It had gotten so bad that each dasher pick up is now on video and we check dashers out on each food item making sure the camera sees each food or condiment for those error charges that dash corp charges when items or condiments arrive missing. Missing ranch cup, thats $5 off your merchant payout. The cameras also confirm that all dashers are dealt with professionally because of wild claims from dashers that they are victims of harassment because of asking their name or of they have a hotbag.Many times food has been stolen after leaving, items taken from the order include one slice of pie and not the other, one slice removed from a pizza, french fries eaten down and bag left inside, dashers trying to simply take food off counters and actually walking out the door!, Stealing ranch or ketchup packets. going to multiple employees to try and obtain more items, reeking like weed or pee and with the worst attitudes. Dropping the order in the parking lot then coming right back and expecting us to remake??Much less showing up in beater cars being held together with clothes hangers, unregistered vehicles and trash falling out of car doors when opened. Dashers will occasionally send a very young child in to grab the order. they are two feet tall and don't know what to do, they aren't dashers. When not given the 3 boxes of hot food the parent will storm in and with a bad attitude attack whoever wouldn't give up the order to the child.Normally many dashers do not have hot bags for food to be kept hot and fresh. No actual concern that the food they are delivering is someone's dinner or lunch. Sometimes an entire order checked to a dasher never makes it to guest and dasher is MIA not to be seen again!Of the 100 or so dashers over the last almost 7 years we have three or four reliable, polite, "on it" dashers.The percentage of good is very small and the money you receive for this service never seems worth it. Door dash corp is slow to engage and get these bad dashers out. Never telling you outcome or corroborating with you although because of you (the merchant) they are able to make money and dashers make their money from your business efforts.DD calls it self a data or software company. I believe that to be accurate and don't think it'll last in its current state. A very poorly run company, with a group of renegade mercenaries that go unchecked and actually damage the symbiotic relationship they have with merchants. Now that's a contradictory business plan!

Review of channel4

Relentless left-wing agit-prop - shamefully dreadful.

Relentless Left-wing agit-prop - obsessed with egalitarian "equality" and the new religion of "climate change" - would make Pol Pot feel at home.If any broadcaster merits the description "evil" it is this disgraceful outfit.Occasional "permitted dissent" from the inexorable collectivist narrative is fooling no one - they want your total obedience and they intend to get it.Appalling - not just the detestable Channel4 news - dramas, documentaries, history, "celebrity" circus shows - everything. Utterly beyond redemption.The entire channel should be abolished as a matter of urgency.

Review of wellsfargo

Went to the WF branch in on Atlantic…

Went to the WF branch in on Atlantic Blvd in Monterey Park CA today about 2:30. Happily I looked around and there were only two customers at the two clerks’ windows. Thinking I’m going to be in and out in 15 minutes, I tell the security guard in front of a banker sitting there that I need to do a wire transfer to Canada. He explains it will be a 3 ½ to 4 hours wait. I respond there’s no one here. He says the banker has an appointment at 3pm. I look at my watch, it’s 2:27. I say we have over ½ hour; this will only take 15 minutes. He says it doesn’t matter. The banker sitting there looks right at me and then looks away as if I don’t matter. I go get in line to do a cash transaction at the window. A young lady walks in behind me and the bankers walks up to her and chats for 5 or 6 minutes (they obviously know one another). I’ll be closing my 3 accounts next week as soon as I make arrangements at my credit union or my accounts at BOA. This way they won’t have to worry about providing any customer service to me and they can properly help other people.

Review of patreon

I don't know who they are and they bill my credit card

I don't know who they are or what they do and don't care. They billed my credit card and I never gave them a number or wanted to join their membership. They must be a scam, especially since they have no way to contact them, their cancelation process is way too complicated, and I suggest you never try to do business with whoever they are. Avoid Patreon like the plague.

Review of aarp

Do not sign up for the Roadside Assistance...

I have a major complaint about the aarp roadside assistance. I paid for my tow and was to be reimbursed. My plan says under 100 miles. The tow was 40 miles. I paid $198 to the AARP rep on the phone. I was only reimbursed $120. I called and the person I spoke with said that is all I will get back. I am very disappointed in this service and have asked to cancel. I do not recommend this service at all.

THE WORSE COMPANY EVER- avoid at all…

THE WORSE COMPANY EVER- avoid at all costs. What can I say, you speak to someone in a overseas call centre who really don't know anything and if it gets too hard ... well how convenient, the call accidentally drops out. Here we are 6 hours later and I still cant find out why I have no internet and worse they don't seem to know. I don't actually know what to do, I cant get a straight answer from anyone. Telstra should not be in business.

Review of Facebook

Instagram Facebook scam

Seen this message “ your instagram account is breaching rules - please login to your account and follow rules “ Not our instagram account to be able to sort - that’s the first scam but this results in - Our business - New Road Service Station Facebook page was compromised by a scammer and facebook are useless and exceptionally unhelpful in getting your account back from fraudsters - I’m shocked Facebook doesn’t seem to care or have any decent procedures for this - seen many comments mirroring mine and their whole business relied on FB - sort it out you are a multi million pound business !
