Subscribe them all to cat facts. I had someone start up a big religious family group text 80% of people who I didn't know so started to Cat Fact them. THE ENTIRE GROUP LOST THEIR MINDS. It was hilarious. People were genuinely pissed at me for fucking with some of the older people on the list. Yeah... didn't care... laughed. Needless to say I have never been included in any other bazillion-person group text groups. EDIT: to be clear, that's not my text thread, but an example I found on Google... and very similar to the one that I posted in the group... same ideas...
I'm so ready for this election to be over and for the orange clown to be voted out. So speaking of cats, here's something cute to make the days ahead a little lighter. https://twitter.com/siberian_times/status/1322931559108804610
It worked if everyone was using iMessage or the half-assed knockoff that Samsung had for a while, because they were really instant messaging apps that wrapped around the SMS service. A normal group chat using MMS is like email where each message is completely independent with a list of the people involved. Grouping them into a conversation thread is a convention that most applications handle for you, but it isn't part of the underlying protocol.
Yeah, they basically winked right at the camera in the scene with Connery confronting Ed Harris. “....retired, of course.”
Exactly this. It's like saying, "how can I remove myself from this group email?" You ask, or you block, but there's no automated way to forcibly take your email address off of a group email. It's not for you to decide, the sender chooses who to send it to. With fancier protocols like iMessage or other chat systems, there are hooks built in to remove yourself, but that's not the way SMS/MMS works.
Anyone else planning to spend the entire day under the constant influence of one substance or another?
I’m heading into work, then after work I’m voting. I would’ve forgotten, but thank God Facebook and Instagram made sure I knew there was an election coming up.
I was up early, did morning chores and then walked down the road to vote. In and out, easy peasy. Country living has its advantages. Although I'm certain it'll be a busy day down there later. I was #35 around 7am. This was the first time I voted across three party lines. Nothing else to do now but see where the chips fall. I'm not too anxious about the whole thing, I'm pretty sure we're fucked either way.
I figured that getting up early would mean a shorter line, but I guess I was wrong. It took me about 2 hours to get through the line, and the line was three times longer when I got there at 7am than it was when I left at 9am. There were more people there than when I voted in 2016 and 2018, but I went after work for both of those.
I can't imagine having to stand in a line. I dropped my ballot off in one of many registered ballot boxes. I spent more time getting out of my truck than I did in line. I think I'm going to get a nice bottle of bourbon to celebrate if one guy wins or drown my sorrows if the other guys wins.
I met the owner of this plane about 35 years ago. P-51's have always been my favorite, I wish I could've gone for a ride because he pushed that thing hard and it looks fun as hell.
Spinach going down, creamed spinach coming up. Baby gerd is fun. Silver lining... it is usually projectile in nature so misses clothes and then the dog cleans up the mess so less work for me. So how's your day going?
