The sheer amount of street level crimes, bar fights, car break-ins that existed in those days would blow your mind. Things have changed so much and yet everyone seems to have forgotten. I can't speek for the 'worst' neighbourhoods in the US nowadays but back in the 70s - 80s whole sections of US cities were shitholes. Media make's everything look way worse than reality.
The issue most likely seemed to me to be just that plus the fact that the google service would never retry on SMS when switched back to SMS. So your message wouldn't be sent until the recipient had a WiFi connection. Ridiculous implementation.
It's hard when you work with a guy like I do. He's 65 and hates absolutely everybody, including his wife, but he's a coward so he's very polite. He requires so much coddling that he spends all day sucking up to everyone for whatever praise he can get then immediately turns around and complains about them. He'll complain about everyone else to the point where they get their breaks and other privileges taken away. Those privileges are also taken from him, giving him more to complain about.
It gets worse, but I'm about to go to bed and don't want to think about that.
That piece of fucking shit. Sorry about the rant. But guys like that ruin everything for everybody.
Should be easy to game it at this point. Have it meaningfully define what it thinks a leftist is and it'll either describe a conservative or outright fascist
I know, the trend continued. And the 90s were half as bad. Sorry you can't extrapolate.
