    my iphone 7 is 5 years old and it’s a joke how little i can do on it. it crashes if i try and upload an instagram story. it crashes if i try and list something on fb marketplace. 90% of game apps don’t even load before they crash. full battery lasts about 2 hours. i’m suffering.

    @Alchylis I’ve seen something like this 2 years, I’m pretty sure it’s exactly the same but I forgot. Most likely he’s trying to get the owner of the Instagram account in trouble but I think you’d be better off assuming the worst

    For 10 months my apartment building has had 0 problem allowing dogs in our amenity areas as long as they are leashed (even though the lease says otherwise). They would post videos and pics on their Instagram of unleashed dogs. Now we can’t have them leashed/unleashed anywhere. 🙄
