The only texts I get are from my ISP warning they'll soon cut off the Internet if I don't pay
If it helps any, you're not suffering alone. The only texts I get are directly from and for whatever job I happen to have, or an appointment I've made somewhere. I've tried starting and keeping some texting going with a couple of people I grew up with as close friends, it never lasts more than a few days, and then over a year passes in silence. It has happened several times already and I've given up on trying any more.
i thought this was talking abt how theory is harder to read if u cant talk about it with people lol cuz thats also true
lol I realized right after posting this that "political texts" could also mean theory. bit frankly I'm not reading any theory so I don't have that problem
Yeah lol I was gonna say I have friends but none of us read enough to get together and read the same theory, our attention spans are too fleeting.
I can relate. I struggle to keep in touch with my friends back home.
They chat about their fun times and I send memes in an attempt to stay relevant
it was about fifteen years ago when I still got texts from friends, good times
what's your number i'll text you
yfw you text OP and they reply STOP
I just wanted to know if OP was coconut pilled and wanted to donate $25 to the Harris/Waltz campaign 
My brother in christ this is depressing as fuck
well it's not the most depressing post I've made here
I grew up before poor people had cell phones and continue to see them as an enemy intrusion into my personal spacetime
harden your heart against the machines, notifications are but shadow puppets
Do what old people do and phone random businesses then talk about your dog for a half hour.
Actually, on that point, getting a pet might help a little
Its such a bad tease
And it sucks because my phone automatically IDs them as spam, but still leaves it as the first notification icon so I think it's a legit text
TW: suicide
nsfw
Imagine if you were a suicidal person and the last thing you see before you blow your brains out is a fundraising text from Chuck Schumer
"Hoo boy that last poll was a hell of a doozy! PLEASE donate $5 IMMEDIATELY to the DEMOCRATIC ACTION FUND so my grandaughter doesn't have to go to BUSHWICK!!!!"
I keep trying to invite you over and all you ever say is STOP
yeah right I know you're just trying to get me to fill out a survey, I ain't falling for that trick 🛑
All I said was, “Want to chill with fellow liberals in your area? Reply YES to subscribe” 😢😢😢
I'd be your text pal! 
:yea:
yeah all the ways to do anything about anything require community when i have none and no access or ability to form one.
well, at least i don't get spam texts
and the only texts I ever send are just "STOP" lmao
you're not ranting at them about blueMAGA and how they're wasting their time volunteering for 98% hitler to beat 99% hitler?
am I the only one
I only rant if they're a real person
It's always real people. The reason they are allowed to spam you is because it is considered the "freedom of speech" of the person sending the text. The opening text however is a prewritten form text that the person just spam clicked send on. Any additional back and forth will be with a person who will try to follow a script but sometimes will engage with you if your questions don't fit closely enough to their stock replies. If you come off too hostile or uninterested though they will just remove you from the list.
the world has already ended
The apocalypse happened when Europe conquered the world. Hundreds of millions dead, thousands of cultures wiped out of existence and forgotten. Human misery in magnitutes never before possible. They invented a hell and dragged the whole world into it.
The apocalypse already happened, we're just living in the aftermath.
I though OP was a bit depressing. This meme is rough.
sometimes I like to flirt with them (i recently got one from the hot guy who is running for city councilman asking for me to come canvass but I restrained myself from asking if he would be there.....)
the hot guy who is running for city councilman asking for me to come canvass but I restrained myself from asking if he would be there
you coulda asked him to canvass deez nutz
I'm not getting blacklisted from the DSA as a sex-pest because I want to suck off the hot candidate who managed to get their endorsement....he is hot enough though that i was like "maybe I should just go canvass" (
) but he's MARRIED so he won't be seeing my twink ass running around for his campaign anytime soon.
I send them pig poop balls
Messing with my dopamine
I don't have to deal with the democrats, but the republicans somehow became convinced that I'm my mom and texted me 9 times today from different numbers and I replied stop to each one and it does nothing. I got a call from someone phone banking the other day and told them they had the wrong person and begged them to take me off their list. I've tried sending them PPB but it's all automated so I can't even mess with them or anything. It just sucks.
