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.

I'll never call. But I also understand that not everyone looks at their phone at all times.

Don't forget to take breaks... If you want to be remembered as a coward!

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.

What's your phone number I'll look it up?

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

Do you give your number out to non-mandatory anything?

[–] OhmsLawn@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't know.

Android is pretty damned good at filtering those. I usually have 1-2 a week that I have to send to the transcription service.

The landline at work is a different story.

It doesn't offer any out of the box filters to my knowledge. What are you talking about?

My carrier does but it's pretty bad. It does filter maybe 70 out of 150 and then I blocked each and every one. At a certain point I'll have blocked every single number in my area code. Which is fine because I no longer live in the area code for my phone number.

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.
