You sure did.

Proud of you, bud.

That’s great and was very much inferred already.

Just glad we can all agree that you dramatically exaggerated when you said you needed 7 9s of availability.

I think you drastically underestimate how much I love my partner.

This was your response to me saying you were exaggerating.

What did you mean by this?

Apologies for assuming you said it because you were refuting my comment.

You’re just driving my point home.

Oh no.

there’s no reason for you to act like this.

Act like what?

Offering opinions in a public forum in support of the OP? Contradicting somebody making a silly claim that they can’t bear to be apart from their partner for 4 seconds a year?

Defensive when somebody tells me that I lack empathy?

And yet you decided to continue this thread by saying that you weren’t exaggerating.

Hot takes here chunkystyles.

You really got me thinking about how some people just love each other so much that they would move mountains to make sure they don’t miss a single text message, and that’s completely normal, and not at all anxious behavior.

That missed text message or call could be the one where they call for help and you don’t get it and oh god what if I could have helped and oh god what if I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye?

Sure hope this person never drives or rides a bike anywhere. Probably fine if they do text and drive though. Because of the love.

No doubt.

I’m sure you’ve got multiple backup carriers and a satellite phone with you at all times to ensure that 99.99999 uptime, which translates to about 4 seconds of downtime a year.

But surely you weren’t exaggerating that part too.

I’m happy for you.

I think you dramatically overestimate both the cost of missing a call, and the benefit of not missing a call.

That said, it sure is convenient.

Even a 0.00001% chance that I’d miss an important call from my partner is no bueno for me.

Yikes. I can’t imagine having this level of anxiety about being out of contact.

Quick googling comes up with only people refuting this claim.

Sure, we had signal gate, but the way that was received should make it pretty clear that it’s not supported for official use.
