    Unpopular (?) opinion - text/IM systems are asynchronous messaging systems, and in most cases it’s totally reasonable to not immediately jump on your phone and answer a message as soon as you get the notification.

    One of my friends is the sort of person who will stop mid sentence when their phone pings so they can answer whatever they’ve been sent and it drives me nuts

        Yeah my phone gets attention when i want, not when it wants.

        I have all notifications off for all apps too, i don’t need an app saying hey we haven’t fed you crap for an hour come look

      My wife is like that, and it kills me. I might leave your text unread for hours because if it was important, you’d call. I have priorities! Like the next round of Helldivers.

        You’d call

        Does anyone call these days? Nobody seems to pick up for fuck all.

        I’ve received 158 calls in the last 7 days, and not one was a valid call. All spam and fraud.

          For some reason I don’t get spam calls. I’m just had to look and the last call I received about anything was on the 18th of February. Where are all my spam calls dammit, I’m missing out.

          I have had none in the last month. It’s the magic of not giving my number to anyone who does not absolutely require it.

      I feel so disengaged when someone does that to me that I just stop communicating with them in the future
