If Snapchat and Telegram didn’t exist the kids would still be doing it via some other means. Are you going to sue the idea of communication?

It has to be someone else’s fault, right? There’s nothing the parents could do.

Who didn’t it work for? I switched to Signal in about 2016 or so, and haven’t had a problem with it. Admittedly I’m a software developer, and typically use high-end devices, so my knowledge is severely lacking.

There’s dozens of us!

Oh good, I’ll dust mine off.

Sometimes sarcasm is clear enough without signalling it. I guess not for everyone.

All of this stupid disagreement is about this:

You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.

For some people, that’s a choice between scraping by and failing.

I’m saying: do what you gotta do

I imagine Amazon figured people would blame the workers when they ignored the deadline, and they probably weren’t banking on what feels like a small swing in the favor of the little guy since Luigi Mangione did what he did.

You’re saying it’s completely impossible that a game developer remortgaged their home for their project and then failed to meet their required sales by a small amount that could be accounted for by being active on Twitter?

Like, completely impossible for that to happen under absolutely any circumstances?

I’m from the UK. I grew up with communal changing rooms and showers at school, but the P.E. teacher would still be in trouble if he got naked with us.

I think it’s pretty weird in the situation where you’re standing in front of a couple of children.

A friend of mine packs backpacks full of blankets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, socks, etc. and goes around handing them to homeless people around Christmas.

If you’ve ever made a thing that took so much time that it has to be your job, and earn you money, you’d likely have a different view. If you’re ignoring a percentage of your target market because they’re on a platform you don’t like, then your project might fail, and you don’t get to keep your house.

I’ve had a couple of people ask me to play it with them for the first time in the last couple of months. Sure, it’s anecdotal, but that’s all I’ve got to go on.

I see. I assumed you meant the words because you put the words in your comment.

Seems like a good idea to do both, as you say.

I don’t really write a lot of checks any more.

That’s the text portion, not the numeric portion.

DINERS! DRIVE-INS! AND DIVES!

Sorry, I have no idea, but couldn’t resist.

Perhaps every generation has been right and things have just been getting progressively worse.

I know what you’re thinkin’… you’re gonna nuke me.

Something like that.

Such feature does exist, at least on my version of the Android app.
