Though SnapChat deletes the content people that you send it to can either...

1) screen shot the chat and repost on other forms of social media
2) there are other apps that can save the cache files on your phone before they are deleted.

so you should treat the content as if it is forever.

Snapchat has been my go-to tool for getting laid since it came out when I was still in college.

Thank god I don't have a daughter in the snapchat era.

And nudes.

That's how I view it at least. Quick fun stuff to share with close friends, and sexy pics of my penis dressed up as snake to send to the the ladddieess.

I can't even. Don't even open it. One more selfie and would drown my eyes in acid.

Sending and receiving nudes that delete themselves so you can't be caught cheating by your significant other.

Have you ever seen one by itself? Pass.

It's the lyric to a pretty terrible, yet oddly catchy, song. As a vagina owner, I have seen quite a lot of vagina. If you are referring to a disembodied vagina, I've seen a Fleshlight if that counts.

jpdchicago · 11-16-2016, 01:23 PM

Wait until we find out that all those pictures do not really disappear but are being stored somewhere.
Sure will get a lot of people in trouble with their significant other or at work...
I do not trust Snapchat to handle that stuff properly.
Remember Ashley Madison?

As a non-vagina owner, I too have seen a lot of vagina.

My favorite to date is my vagina coloring book.

I completely forgot about that. Shit, I'm gonna send you gifts every year so I have an excuse to buy weird stuff.

I keep it on the sidetable in the living room, it's always a great conversation starter. I love it. I don't want to taint it with my poor coloring skills.

I have it cause all my friends are on it but it truly is a waste of time. I delete it every now and then for a period of weeks but will relapse.

I'm in my early 20s so maybe I belong to the wrong generation, but I feel that social media is just making people dumber and more shallow. IMO people who use it too much are just attention whores seeking validation.

dean87 · 11-16-2016, 08:13 PM

Snapchat - small group of "closer" followers.
- share less important things with.
- send direct snaps to certain people.

Insta - heaps of followers
- share more important things with everyone

Nkc · 11-17-2016, 04:57 AM

I stopped understanding things after ICQ. I've gotten into the habit of just calling people lately. It's old school and somehow annoys the hell out of the other party. Remember those 5 hour long phone conversions we had back in the day without distortion or worrying about your battery dying? Fuck that, who wants a pen pal from Canada? PM me your address and I'll hand write you a letter. Might even throw in a photo print dick pic to keep things fresh.

I encounter first to miss something as some party invitations miss me because I wasnt part of the new (a)social media platforms. Meanwhile I dont care any longer. I got phone and a mailaccount. If thats too much work for the friends, they are not real.

For me Personally it's a easier way to send someone a message by speaking vs typing. I'm a engaged man of 3yrs,dating 8, so nudes from my fiance and other girls don't happen, it's more of sending snapchat to friends by saying what's up, what are you up too and such. If I recall right my minutes usage has gone down from 180mins a month to about 80mins since snapchat was installed on my phone. Really have no need to call anyone unless it's important.

What's the advantage over SMS text?

He got hit upside the head with the foreign buyers tax in Vancouver. He's still smarting.

Nah, no idea - did you get hit with it though? If not, has it actually had a significant effect in Vancity? Nkc bimmette

Luckily all my friends are old so I don't have to worry about such things. Mostly SMS, sometime Skype and I'm done.
