Pocket messaging was actually quite useful. Especially in the winter.

and before the advent of swiping it also was a hell of a lot faster than any other input method for people who used it a lot, outside of the blackberry keyboards which were pretty awesome.

I used to text with my phone in my pocket riding my bike no handlebars. Where has the time gone...

I still know the numpad layout by heart, 20 years after having such a phone.

It gets to the point where you even learned the order of suggested word list. 73647 ->three down. The travisty when you used a word ever so more often and the order would change suddenly.

Arguably they were better at typing on blindly than your average software keyboard nowadays, especially with T9.

Because it’s just a stupid joke, following a trope.

In the text, it says that they're still happily married ">20 years later". That's why they came up with 2004, because 2024-20=2004, not because they thought the first "04" was the year...

and i don't get why it has to be gay marriage anyway? the post indicates nothing about the gender of either person.
