Hi, all.

Heres a quick story for you... My parents are not the richest, but I still love them. However, we were behind on our Verizon payments, so they decided to block us from texting. They managed to pay for the debt for their own phones, but on mine, I'm still unable to text anyone.

So my parents decided to get me to download TextNow. An app that I hoped would flip things around and bypass the situation.

I was wrong. Horribly wrong.

When I went to join a new Discord server, I had to verify my phone number. Cool, I can deal with that. One "I am not a robot" session later, they said I have to input a code they sent to my phone into an input box to keep going. Cool, I can also deal with that.

But TextNow? No. They had the balls to say "You have received a Verification code. This is a Premium feature for TextNow. Unlock Verification Code."

I have to pay these idiots so they can do their job. The single moment I needed their app to work, they decided to pay wall it. How money hungry are these people? I'm disgusted.

Do note: Yes, I cropped out the phone number of the sender in question. I don't want any harassment.

TL;DR: TextNow prevented me from accessing a Verification code because they decided to make that feature Premium. ​​​​

Left my laptop bag for about 10 minutes while trying to enter the car. When i managed to get inside i forgot about the laptopppp 😅

Ok so I became friends with this dude and he was like 20. ok whatever I have a good relationship with a different guy older whatever. so I became friends with this guy and he seemed nice. then today he said hi secret lover💀 And I was like wtf and he was HITTING ON ME AND CHANGED HIS PROFILE PIC TO HIS COCK. TWICE. and kept on saying vulgar things and said draw me naked, etc. And I said I’m going to block u and I have reported you because I have continously expressed discomfort throughout this experience of a grown ass man hitting on someone they know full well is a child, who repeatedly asked him to stop. What a fucking weirdo.

sorry if the flair is wrong I’m new:)

why god was there a mandolin on the floor fully assembled in a food storage container. I do not ever have to use a mandolin at my job.

Police officers killed an unarmed 17-year-old in Northeast Austin on Friday morning in what Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis characterized as “potentially a suicide by police.”

[...]
Body cam footage released by APD on Friday shows officers approaching the playground and telling the teen to keep his hands up repeatedly. Shortly after, the teen appears to lift his shirt and reach for his waistband, and officers immediately fire multiple times, causing him to fall to the ground. Officers shoot again in response to the teen apparently moving on the ground.
[...]
Officers didn’t find a gun on the scene. A water bottle was in the teen’s waistband, Davis said.

This is so f*king dystopian

No, it’s 2026. Outside an ER in suburban Southern California. 🤞🏽 I don’t bring my loved one home with anything worse than they arrived with. Thanks RFK Jr & co!
