Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

I do miss that magic period of early cheap VoIP where my friends and I would have a call going more or less in the background while all doing our own things. A lower-cost impromptu hangout before we all had cars.
That was never about efficient transfer of information though. Calling with demands is just intrusive.

Not that I ever turn my ringer on. Dang robocallers.

Yeah. Scam Robocallers that don’t give a fuck about the law are a huge reason no one answers the phone anymore. My phone is a combo work/personal phone, so I tend to answer it more often—I have a dream job, though, so it’s worth it.
