    the way they're using their echo show knockoff as a hub for all the smarthome stuff is pretty smart, too

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    All my aunts heard on Dateline NBC that sexual predators use the phonebook like a menu, and the only way to be safe is to have your home phone unlisted and blocked from caller ID.

    So I just never talk to them if they call because they show up on my phone like a nigerian prince trying to sell me viagra cut with identity theft.

    oh snap

    new feature with the google phone app where it'll have the robot lady screen your calls for you (like she's all "hey who are you and what do you want" and it records their response and even will reply back telling them to fuck off

    a++

    where can I get this feature

    It's called "Never answer your phone and if they don't leave a message it wasn't important." I've had that feature for decades.

    Yeah this also happens with movie trailers. This is only going to get worse with the new rules coming from the EU, but it just highlights how awful youtubes auotmated copy write take down stuff is.

    With automatic message transcription you don’t even have to listen to people’s 90 second rambling message filled with redundant info that’s in the call metadata, like name, phone number, and the time they called.

    I went to college before unlimited texting and smartphones were a thing, so back then we all placed extremely short phone calls to friends to sync up.

    Even in those dark times we mocked people who left voicemails.

    There was a standing contest for who could leave the longest voicemail that didn’t repeat and didn’t offer any actual information.

    About 90% of my phone calls come from Private Number because it's either my family who all work in public positions and are calling from their work phone, or it's any of my medical / therapy related people, who call from Private Numbers for ... privacy's sake :P

    So I just have to answer my phone when it rings, nowadays. It's usually fine.

    Honestly I would be pretty annoyed if I was screened by a robot, but I'm really not into the current trend of "never speak on the phone" because I don't have anything better to do anyways

    I'm annoyed every time I get called

    sometimes that annoyance dissipates as I pick up the phone and have a chat, sometimes not

    but when the phone rings I am always going oh fucking hell, what now

    slight downside is that my grandmother called me today with an unknown call and if there was an automated thing telling her to fuck off that'd be not nice

    so in that respect, googling someone's number while they are calling me works fine

    but like when it's just a regular waste of space like a telemarketer calling, then I want them to be told to fuck off

    but automatically, because I won't

    Yeah but if the robot beeps you and says, “Hello Google_User, you have a call from: “oh hello sweetheart please tell him it’s his nana calling” —shall I connect you?” then you’re good to go.

    This seems pretty rad

    Nah its just a common issue with my writing. Some kind of brain toss up between spoken and written. Like I'll do it with words that aren't even like a bee be thing, but like be and been. Can't explain it, always had it in the internet age. I believe its like the typed version of words getting ahead of brain.

    Assassin's creed odyssey is really good, it takes 6 hours to get to the game's fucking title card and I played out a greek tragedy with some light
    patricide
    that left everybody miserable and walked off into the forest and fought a magical demon boar and got a legendary bow from artemis

    I am so glad I'm on PC so I can HACKERMAN the DLC and play the game with the exp gain that it definitely was designed for you to actually have

    I made a cheat recipe for south carolina style hickory smoked pulled chicken and it’s so incredibly to scoop over home made mac and cheese.

    Cuts the richness of the cheese sauce and enhances the flavor perfectly. And it’s the best kind of cheat recipe. The sort where it’s 10% time and effort for 90% flavor. I can live with 90%

    Does iOS have multiple sleep modes

    Because I want to use night mode to screen all non-addressbook call 24/7 but i also want to mute everything at night

    I guess none of the text messages I get are important and I will pull out my phone often enough to see recent texts on the lock screen

    it's not a waste of 30 seconds, that doesn't matter

    it's a terribly rude interruption to whatever I was doing, is what

    I could have been jerking off, whoever called me decided that even if this man may be having dinner, or jerking off, or doing any other of a number of activities where it would be really rude to interrupt and demand his attention, we are going to do so anyway
