Most of my personal communication goes through Signal, but I still get a ton of SMS messages.

  • 25% spam
  • 40% scams
  • 30% one time passwords for shitty sites/apps that don't support better 2FA options
  • 5% iPhone users who refuse to install Signal

Real useful stuff...

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, Netflix started blocking me from sharing an account with my parents, and we cancelled the account and didn't make any new ones.

Although, if they still had disc deliveries, my parents would probably have kept the account.

1000 unique listeners.

If you had 500 die hard fans who stream your music every waking minute, you get $0.

Now, I imagine they did this to prevent people from trying to game the system (create a song and have all your devices stream it all the time, or something), but it's still shitty that if you have legitimate "listens" you can get nothing.

If you're drunk or stoned, it's much better to order some delivery than to drive anywhere.

Obviously you could plan ahead to avoid this, but I would rather have gig apps than impaired drivers on the road.

That's one of my main problems with them, too.

Thank you for sharing this!

One question: how can the loan from Brian Acton be interest free? I thought the federal government imposed minimum interest rates to prevent people from bypassing tax-free gifting limits.

The only other version I've seen has all the kids asking for fentanyl.

Not sure what the original is.

Probably more than most Americans. Dozens of times? I haven't kept count.

Why the personal jab tho? I'm just sharing my pizza opinions.

All our space heaters should be folding proteins while making all that heat! Such a cool idea.

What is up with some of those letters? Looks like some AI generated image text that I've seen
