Can not say I give much of a shit about taking part in this beta testing, but I will have to say one thing: it is downright impressive that this app can work on this phone of mine.

I did not realize that apps could run on flip-phones, especially when the internet usually takes nothing short of fifteen minutes to load google. Regardless, I imagine the rest of you have your overpriced and unnecessary phones and other suchlike devices, but for the sake of sating my curiosity have any of you found this app on things that otherwise should not be able to run it?

[Yes, he typed all of that on his cellphone, his flip-phone dinosaur of a cellphone. So, naturally, all his replies will take quite the while to reply. Mashing the same button over and over again to get a single letter takes time, after all!]

[SMARTPHONES ARE FOR NERDS.]

That does not even make sense. Quite how it is capable of doing that, I cannot imagine. Has anyone addressed this before, or have we just decided to be complacent in the face of such oddity.

[NERDS ARE SUPERIOR]

I don't know if it counts as being complacent when there's not much you can do about it. I don't know any programmers who could take it apart.

[Not at ass kicking!! and that's all Estée cares about.]

Not very good programmers then, are they? I guess we should continue to mindlessly use this thing just as instructed, blindly follow orders, like sheep to the slaughter.

[He says, while using it himself.]

Let me rephrase that: I don't know any programmers.

You can't ignore things like colors disappearing. I'd rather be able to contact people who will understand what the hell's going on, and not try to figure out who they are from Twitter or Facebook.

[becetongles]

I suppose that's fair.

Still feels like we are doing what is expected of us. However, what choice do we truly have, I suppose.

[thesettingsun]

If there's a choice between 'attempt to ignore what's going on' and 'interact with the weirdness to try to figure out what the hell is happening and why', I'll take the latter. Even if it hurts my dignity.

[becetongles]

I suppose I cannot blame you. For I am doing similar. Fucking bullshit situation we're in, but it beats being alone in this rubbish.

[thesettingsun]

It's still fucking bullshit, I just can't plug my ears and hope it goes away by itself or that other people take care of it.
