    @mikecane The 3 of us, having a nice but simple meal caus why bother (I enjoy not bothering, I must admit). Tomorrow, Glühwein & just out of the oven nice little bits to eat with a friend, outside. It'll be freezing & snowing, but I can't let her down. Had daughter on Skype earlier. Safe !

  • elly_may_b Elly (@elly_may_b) reported

    @SoniaGentili1 She's ahead of us all. She's the one that figured out Skype was the problem. This is someone who doesn't even own a smartphone. Just shows it's not about age or experience... just your choice to focus on a thing and learn it.

    Just got off Skype with @SupremeDreams_1 and he said his dream in life was always to get the minecraft 1.6.1 world record and that we took that from him unfairly. I don't hate the guy and I respect him a lot but I can't accept the rng. Speedrunning community, can we fix this?

  • CharlieSnogans Charlie Snogans (@CharlieSnogans) reported

    @AricHutfles @ToddPiro @jillianmele Fun eh. Was the video upside down? I never use Skype. I couldn’t get the cam right in the tripod.

  • SkippyBing Bing Chandler (@SkippyBing) reported

    @pinstripedline #thoughtsandprayers got caught out by the plumber's radio after I'd turned my own down for a Skype call on the 3rd. All I could think was, bugger.

  • AlexHSchwemmer Alexander Schwemmer (@AlexHSchwemmer) reported

    @PanchoAnarchy @SeibtNaomi Sorry about that! My girlfriend and I also have to spend Christmas apart: she visited her parents to help them with some Christmas preparations and now she’s stuck there bc her sister tested positive... 🙄 At least, we have Skype/..., so loved ones are always just 1 call away.

    I've rated alot of people 5 stars in this last month.. 3 sellers on fivver and a seller from ebay who went out there way to chat to me on skype for 2 hours to resolve a technical issue. There are very decent human beings on this planet.. makes me very happy.

    @JoeBiden Would it be possible to call, Skype or any thing else that I can't thinf of. I only want this when you get a free moment because I really need help with something that relates to your problem, I am so sorry to offend with my issues when so many people are suffering more than I .

    @massmutual I feel terrible for ANYONE who has to deal with a family member who could easily be there in person but insists on zoom/Skype/FaceTime. That person is the insane lunatic in the family for sure lol

    Ok rant over. I wasn’t going to do that but I’ve literally been called a fake sub 3 times tonight for turning down Skype sessions. Doms hate when subs waste their time so don’t do the same back. Doms plz feel free to give feed back. This is obviously extremely frustrating when I

  • Bubblenoma How the Grift Stole Christmas! 🔪🦀 (@Bubblenoma) reported

    @punchedmonet_ Is *that* the issue?! I could never get why it was impossible to get Skype or Outlook to work

  • TheNEUTRONSTAR John Purves Hansen (@TheNEUTRONSTAR) reported

    @SpudtheBinx Know exactly what you mean. Today isn't the only problem. Another lockdown is likely. Clean up keyboards & screens, make a skype call or two, burn packaging, generally do the stuff I think you and I do on such days. Watch folk get rat-arsed, same drill different year.

    @peggygoose Any problems, just buy a local sim. That's what I do when I go to Serbia. If I need to contact the UK then I use WiFi via WhatsApp or Skype, but my local calls and any browsing are done on payg local sim cards.

    @zach_blaine @TitusNation What's shady? I'm offering help at no charge. I can make him better, and some mentorship would be excellent compensation. Further, we could talk over skype or something.

    @LuiseFreese Exchange 2000 IM service, LCS, OCS, LYNC, Skype, Teams. Am I drunk yet?

  • replantavine Jillian Macready (@replantavine) reported

    @suebeesley What about Zoom? I guess others might have suggested this already. Though I have had trouble there. Our Council won't use zoom but I can't use Skype so we ended up talking on the phone with our loudspeakers on!

    but if you wanna come cry to me about how terrible it is to have shitty christmas stew over skype for maybe one ******* year, think about the kids who have to grow ******** up because now, xmas isn’t the same because their family ******* died.

  • SteveChallen Stephen Challen (@SteveChallen) reported

    Happy Christmas to you all. Reach out to someone who may be alone today. Zoom or Skype them, or even meet them down the park so that they know they are not alone.

  • D00MZJAY ᗪOOᗰᔕᒍᗩY (@D00MZJAY) reported

    Had the loveliest Skype video call with the youngest and his gf today. It was so nice and sad at the same time to see him. She looks absolutely knackered and broken. I miss him so much 😢
