Who the fuck would release an app with THIS many bugs even if it's supposedly in beta?

[catsudon]

Other than the obvious? No fucking idea. People usually don't force their beta on a few hundred randos either so

[alienates]

If this ends with all of our phones and computers exploding I'm gonna be so pissed.

[catsudon]

At least both mine are still under warranty for the next year and since no one can find evidence of the app on either then it's going to look like a manufacturer's error.

[alienates]

That does not help me at all.

[catsudon]

Was I supposed to be helping?

My problem solving with technology usually means throwing it against the nearest somewhat forgiving surface. And by technology, I mean my phone.

[alienates]

I just wait until I absolutely have to replace it.
My phone's like cracked in three places so I think at this point if it explodes it's probably helping me out.

[catsudon]

Are you on a contract or a pay as you go thing?

[alienates]

A contract but it's running out.
The money I could be spending on a new phone could go to something else though.

[catsudon]

Sure it can. It always can. What's the "something else" you'd be spending it on? Rent? Groceries? School supplies?

[alienates]

Bills for around the apartment mostly.
So a new phone can wait.

[catsudon]

Bills. That fun part of being adults that we get to enjoy before we're even considered actual adults. Unless you're actually 18.

In which case, screw you.

[alienates]

I'm not.
Also screw you back??
I just figured it'd be easier on the parental figure if I helped out with expenses.
Because I can be, surprisingly, a nice guy!

[catsudon]

Okay, never said you were an asshole, though you're probably also capable of being an asshole.

( as he believes most everyone is, so it's just meeting expectation at that point. he's self defeating and doesn't know or particularly care. as far as parental figures... he gets that better than saying "parents." screw parents. )

Yeah, well. That's a given. You help support whoever raised you.

[alienates]

I am definitely an asshole.

Not always.
I'm sure there are plenty of kids out there who probably won't need to get a job until much fucking later.
Shit. That sounded bitter.

[catsudon]

I'm glad we agree.

Be as bitter as you want, you're talking to a 'kid' who lives on his own. You don't need to tell me how it is.

[alienates]

I cannot believe we are reaching tragic backstories already.

[catsudon]

( what )

Seriously?

[alienates]

It's a joke.
We're not going to actually exchange them.

[catsudon]

You'd actually need a tragic backstory first.

( meaning general you, but hey, English isn't great for that kind of differentiating in text. his backstory!!! is far from tragic, it just. is. )

[alienates]

Dude, tragic backstories can range from a lot of different things.
Someone getting their favorite bike stolen on their 11th birthday and swearing revenge against all bike thieves can count as a tragic backstory.

[catsudon]

Yeah, but you'd still have to think it's tragic, wouldn't you?

[alienates]

Not really.
There are a lot of people who come from backgrounds that the majority would consider "tragic" but the person themselves are so accustomed to it that they'd just shrug it off.
So it might just be a matter of perspective, I guess??

[catsudon]

( karkat makes sense and that just irritates yuri so )

Okay so how's this: I'll matter of perspective not ever think about your past that I do not know as a tragic backstory, do the same for mine
This will then never be an issue

[alienates]

[ fuck u too yuri ]

That works for me!!
Since it's not like I ever asked to hear about yours.
