😂 I don’t pay that much attention to usernames, but once I saw your comment, I was like “hey, I think I have come across SatansMaggotyCumFart a few times before!”

It wasn’t my original intention, but ingress made me walk a whole lot!

Ha thanks. I was super confused because my mobile client only shows my login username, but forgot that I just learned that I could set a display name to match my avatar haha. I was between that and a nerdier “root@HAL9000”

Maybe it was the OCR? As in you used Google lens?

Fuck… I got this Amber alert today while playing videogames with my kid… I dismissed it, told him it was just an alarm, and then got another later saying it was cancelled, “check local news sources for details”. I assumed it was what I thought a lot of them are: domestic dispute leads to a parent driving off with the kids and the other parent calling the cops. This is way more grim than I thought

I am someone who should have found a way to legal status through those means by the time when I went to college circa mid 2000s… I am lucky that I found other means, which were pure circumstantial luck… Kids’ livelihood should not be dependent on dumb luck … PS.: my “dumb luck” required an American citizen ally and a shitload of money I got through student loans I am still paying for, and will still be paying for through most of my career, despite being technically in “public service”

My hope is that there wouldn’t be anything more personal about it than age, sex, and location… But I am sure there’s a lot more that even an airline (businesses that tend to be decades behind in systems they run) can get

Coming from the 9000 series, I am wondering what do you like about the 5700 series HAL?

I use it to bridge Whatsapp, SMS, signal, and to receive any incoming messages on my inactive Instagram and Facebook Messenger accounts ( sometimes people contact me there). It’s a pretty nice client app, I use it on desktop too. I guess I never think about iMessage until I see reactions coming in as text haha
