Mostly the people running and modding it are insane.

Not anymore for most pilots. Pay has skyrocketed.

That thankfully isn’t true anymore. Pilots are now very highly compensated from the jump.

Is that in a different post or comment I can’t see? Their original still refers to sterilization.

Fair enough sorry - but it’s weird to bother asking for a source and then not caring that the source doesn’t back up the claim being made?

Sorry - does that mean you think contraception and sterilization are the same thing?

Probably should edit your comment from “secretly sterilized” to “allegedly secretly provided contraceptives”.

Being sterilized and being given contraceptives are wildly different things.

Probably should replace the word sterilized with given contraceptives.

They’re wildly different things.

Found the person who doesn’t own a Tesla.

My Tesla did monumentally stupid things on the regular on autopilot. Like phantom braking. It would slam on the brakes while doing 65 on the highway because of shadows. You’d be flying over my hood in your bike.

I think they’re now broadly free on all but the most restrictive plans- but when iMessage came to be they weren’t - and most phones wouldn’t split 160 characters into multiple messages. You were literally limited by that.

They used to charge extra if you were roaming too. I think T-Mobile was the first to stop and everyone followed.

This is so comically wrong I don’t know where to start. SMS was fucked from the get go, especially in the US where it was common to charge by the message for SMS. Seriously. It was $0.25 to send and $0.10 to receive them on a lot of people’s plans.

The wireless carriers fucked SMS, and will absolutely fuck up RCS - along with all the various providers out there. It’s a dogshit standard that isn’t broadly interoperable still.

iMessage was a breath of fresh air for people who did use SMS.
