  • I've had 7 teeth pulled, and they ain't no thang.

    Okay, well 4 were wisdom teeth and 3 were baby teeth (I had fucked up teeth as a kid). I was awake for the three, and I didn't think they were a big deal. They put numbing cream on my gums, then gave me a numbing shot in my gums, which is hardly felt at all. I didn't feel them pull my teeth at all. It hurt a lot afterwards, but it was manageable with mild painkillers. The pain didn't last long. When I had all 4 wisdom teeth pulled, I was eating a burrito and helping my sister move just a couple days later.

  • And that's fine, because no one uses it here. So they wouldn't be messaging anyone.

  • Thank you for setting this up. This has been a lot of fun!

  • This was when he was in highschool, by the way.

  • It does suck that Google gave themselves a monopoly on it on Android. But I personally find it much better than Signal as far as features go. I think Signal tries too hard to be secure at the expense of features. My old phone broke and I lost all my messages. Nothing I can do to get them back. Luckily I only used it when my parents were out of the country, but if I had old messages and photos from a friend that passed, I would have been heartbroken. Signal was basically dead to me after I realized that sometimes I can lose messages.

    I still have my texts from when my wife and I started dating almost 15 years ago.

  • My friend was once accused of plagiarism because one of those automated programs came back saying there was a match. It was his name. He has a very common first and last name. He went to plead his case to his teacher, and she wouldn't even hear him out.

    I'm so glad I went to school before those things existed.

  • I think there is a bias here we need to be aware of. If you saw it before the meme, you may have just disregarded it and moved on with your life. If you saw it after the meme, you would make a mental note of it.

  • I guess it depends on how you define "worse". With RCS, you have SMS fallback, so anyone with a phone number can get your message when you send it. There's a lot of value in that. Even with dedicated IM services having more features, if everyone I know can't agree on one of those, I dont want to have 5 messaging apps on my phone and have to check them all every day. Very few people that I know even use one of those, and those people are all using different ones.

    It's great for Europeans where WhatsApp is ubiquitous, but here in the US, I don't know a single person who uses WhatsApp. I'd someone asked me to use it, I would just tell them to text me because I don't want to use a product owned by Facebook.

    The closest thing we have here that most people use is Discord, but the older people I know can't figure it out.

  • Oh no! My Snowy Owl is not doing well! At least WFS is an opponent worthy to lose to.

  • It's not for me, but what other people do with their time is their business.

  • What do you not like about it? It seems like a huge improvement over SMS/MMS to me.

  • I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what I would be, but this is probably it. Food is probably the biggest part of my personality.

  • They said they are messaging them on Matrix, a separate app.

  • I don't know which site.

  • Snowy Owl when he sees that Flammy Owl thinks he can win:

  • Burrowing owl is my second favorite owl, but White Faced Scops is gorgeous. I'm sure I'll be happy no matter the outcome on this matchup.

  • Didn't Jedi Survivor get an update to add DLSS recently?

  • Snowy Owl trying to intimidate his opponent
