Frum World Shuts Down!
« on: May 03, 2017, 05:48:52 PM »
With Whatsapp service down, all business, social and familial communication has been cut within the entire frum world. The shut down is already said to have cost billions of dollars.

Helpless chassidim have been seen wondering aimlessly trying to record voice notes they know will merely be lost in the ether. Hilarious memes haven't been seen for almost an hour, sending many into dangerous withdrawal.

With no telling when the silence will end, some are considering sharing their political opinions in person with others. there is no telling the havoc this will wreak on relationships and friendships in the community.

So long as that didn't happen in 2016. Could you imagine no Twitter for Trump & no emailgate for Hillary ? Shudder :)

You mean a real job without making money from clicks? An actual productive job. Preposterous.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Why does making money from clicks imply that you're not doing a job that is productive?

That makes no sense, because something is new that means it isn't productive?

Next time you click on clickbait and someone gets paid for that click, think about what youre asking.

I'm not saying that it's all productive, far from it, but to say that we'd be better off if everyone had a "real" job is nonsense.

believe it or not it was much easier making a living before the internet. Now no one will buy something before they scan the item 55 times to find the best price.
