    @ahappiermurder Flashback to when my parents muted me on Skype but thought they muted themselves so I couldn't help and just heard and watched them being confused for an embarrassing amount of time

  • BaldBeardedBard Stonie Williams Villainous #4 - NOV201420 (@BaldBeardedBard) reported

    I didn't tag @ReaderUnnatural because I couldn't recall the Twitter handle and their Skype handle was not working out for me over here. Also, I'm the worst. So Ayce gets their own comment.

  • ChikiLucario Chiki maybe (@ChikiLucario) reported

    Why ******** should I drop whatever I'm doing at any given time to help YOU get SKYPE working on dad's work phone in time for work when he isn't even rostered to start in the next week?????

  • th1ccj3ff Th1cc J3ff (@th1ccj3ff) reported

    @TheGodlyNoob I started on Para Bellum, but I really got into Siege at Grim Skype. Back when Maverick was broken as **** (typical) and night maps were still a thing. His strength is favela at night. Oh boi... those were the days. Now the game is balanced to boredom. Only fun is being toxic.

    @DannyBirman look, I can explain. ya know, your average boring friday afternoon.... just scrolling down the timeline and you see someone bring up Amir Khan's skype incident. Me, bored and interested, went on a hunt to find the video... Was I disappointed? No. But I am scarred.

  • iFarons Farons 2: Aftershocks (@iFarons) reported

    Big shoutout to Discord, Mumble, Skype, and other similar online chat services. They suck as much as any mega company but they help me stay in touch with people. Incredibly greatful for that, especially now.

  • GringoTJ President-Elect Richard Hartley (@GringoTJ) reported

    @mindstatex It's integrated with the Skype app. Haven't experimented but a temporary fix to remove might be uninstall the Skype app and try installing an older version. Thing is lots of installers these days just point to the mother ship somewhere and you'll get the latest version anyway

    @YZYPZY My nephews can't come over cause we just went back to lock down so I've gotta Skype it for them

  • thelilocarer Richard J. (@thelilocarer) reported

    @EirinKidsBooks Yes that’s probably wise. I only recently got the SE, but I may need something a little bigger as I’m doing a lot of Skype and FaceTime for work and a larger screen might be kinder on my tired eyes. Getting a new iPhone is like Alice going down the rabbit hole!

  • loosecannon887 Loose Cannon (@loosecannon887) reported

    @RachelBitecofer My local hasn't had any layoffs or furloughs yet. We've worked at making sure that doesn't happen for as long as we can and that the FFCRA is followed. We have had a couple of issues like trying to use Skype for Business as a time-keeping tool and a couple other isolated things.
