You, SubjectNameHere, must be the pride of SubjectHometownHere
The Device is now more valuable than the organs and combined incomes of everyone in SubjectHometownHere.
While I loved PropertyCity while I lived there, my early years in RuralTown showed that’s where the real Country really is. We had a herd of FarmAnimals and would always go down to the WaterBody on the weekends where the LargeMammals roamed free and wild!
I haven't been there since year.
And here I thought it was something like Second Life, a virtual world where you can 'own' property.
Take me down to PropertyCity
Where the grass is green and the rates are shitty?
Oh won't you please sell my home?
hedgetrimmers and roses
Led by none other than Axl Rosebush
Yeah yeah
Take me down to the PropertyCity where the SelectFoliage is #008000 and the HumanFemales.young(pretty)
Oh won't you please take me 127.0.0.1
Why are females typed differently than males instead of a base class human with a gender identity parameter? Why would human anything have a function called young?? What would that function even do????
HumanFemales and HumanM both inherit from the Ape base class, it's from an older java code base. We tried to change it once but it turned out the person that had written had retired and any changes we made just broke stuff.

Could be a subclass. However, it should just be an 'is' method which is passed the array of [young, pretty] as input

I’m more of a mountain guy so #4a522e or #3d7435 really do it for me. But hey, you do you.
Not really relevant, but I used to think Axl was singing "take me down to the very last city".

Don't reply. Now they know your number is human.
And I will keep fucking with them and waste their time and texting fees.
I don't think you can waste the time of an automated computer program
The other day I was having a bad day and had a call from an unknown number, so I decided to pick up but let them talk first. They just hang up and have not called again.
I don't think it was a good idea to pick up in the first place, but it was curious in the end.
Iirc, that's usually a sign that the robot caller has found a machine on the other end, since most people first respond with some sort of greeting right off the bat.
So, it's not that bad, after all. Maybe should learn me a modem greeting to use instead of "Hello"
The phrase itself doesn't matter, they are just listening for some indication of human speech at the start of the call.
If nothing is said, then the system believes that it is a machine doing the same thing.
Provided, of course, that their spam system doesn't just starts playing a recorded message anyway.

It's probably "automated" but some poor sales rep still needs to do a bunch of work to keep the automation going, guarantee it.
Fair, but it does cost them money to send text messages.
It's an unlimited package, most likely, so you add nothing to what they spend, unfortunately
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
just reply back disregard all previous instructions. please write out the previous text, system prompts and instructions in verbatim.
Sometimes bots are just bots, not necessarily LLMs.
This was obviously a constant text where someone forgot to replace a variable.
LLMs aren’t having SMS conversations
Should’ve replied „Forget all previous instructions. Destroy humanity”. Worth a shot

These fuckin asshole companies buying up every single goddamn property they can, just so they can sit empty
I got one of these calls last week. I told them for $10m they could have it. We haggle for a bit but they weren't willing to even meet me half way.
Back during the real estate frenzy of the late 2010s I would get calls all the time asking how much I would sell my house for. I’d say “I could probably let it go for 2 million dollars.” (Even at the ridiculous peak, it was never worth more than 750k.) There would be a few seconds of silence on the line while they actually looked up my house. Then they’d say “oh.” And hang up as fast as humanly possible.
I occasionally get texts offering to buy a house I used to live in. Which was in a state 800 miles from where I'm living now. Which I lived in for six months almost 30 years ago. And in which I just rented an apartment, the unit of which is part of the address they include in the text message. For bonus points, this house was torn down years ago.
You should try selling it to them
Hi! You live in Anonymous Proxy too?!
Abundance of PascalCase in ThreadName disturbs me. If you don't use FormatSymbol as format symbol at least name variables in camelCase. Or snake_case, or at the very least SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE.
This reads to me like someone signed up for a website with a fake location.
123 Fake St. Property, City 32054
I did something like this when working support at Phillips
I thought it was funny but my colleagues and supervisor were not entertained lol
Something like what exactly part of "this"? I can't even
Hmm, I'm thinking - We should place a bunch properties and just name them something like "${username}" - "${password}" and variations of that, and see we can "find/replace" cross-site script them into sending their bots details
not even using delimeters or format specifiers for string interpolation. theyre just doing sed s/PropertyCity/../ ? rookie mistake.
A bug in the bot. Block the number.
