  • Sure. Treat them the same way. If you don’t VM it’s probably not important enough for me to call back. I’ll Call you back when I’m driving, its a great time to talk. Also, you’re not going to call me about as dumb as a thing as you are going to txt me. The threshold to interact this way is much higher, it’s a natural BS screen.

    I delay texts both reading and responding to not be a slave to my phone or to your whims. I don’t owe you immediate gratification. Texts are really disruptive. About 40% of the time that thing you asked me that I didn’t respond to you about took care of itself or you figured it out yourself and are maybe better for it.

















  • Triggering headline I know but if you rtfa this is to deal with a real problem with 911 services. The vast majority of time one or two people can man a 911 line effectively even in a moderate sized city. However when a publically visible event occurs or mass casualty situation occurs there is a major triage problem sorting through redundant reporting of the same issue. A simple screen activated in these events that can be easily bypassed to reach a human if there is actual acute distress can free the human up to focus on the most relevant calls more quickly.

    This is piss poor low effort reporting as the most relevant take on this would be to get ahold of an actual 911 call responder and get their take on this.
