Because not everywhere works exactly like the US? Besides the point, if you work at a McDonald's, they are not going to give you a phone so you can text your manager. If you don't have a means of communication you are not getting the job.

The only SMS I've gotten in the last 5 years are the double authentication ones. WhatsApp is the default way of texting in many countries. Outside of the US, when you ask people to stop using WhatsApp, chances are you are asking them to give up texting entirely. Which you must realize is complicated to say the least

Almost all jobs in which you have to interact with people, so most of them. I work in an office and i need it to communicate with clients, with my boss or coworkers, or with a government agency. You have to understand that WhatsApp is ubiquitous outside of the US. Here we never got free SMS, so WhatsApp became the default way of texting. Even people on iphones use WhatsApp here

When everybody uses WhatsApp to communicate, which is a meta service, it's a bit complicated to cut off communication with literally everybody in your country (work, friends, businesses) just to not use a service. It's disingenuous to expect this without some sort of change within the current status quo. And this is coming from someone who doesn't use any of their other platforms but has to use WhatsApp, because that's literally the only choice

It's always the classic not-rule to take-away-your-children slippery slope, they always warned us of that in school

Everybody knows Americans in the ancient era should focus on scouting its home continent so you can plan and maximise the manifest destiny modifier

One of the most compelling arguments I've heard. I must say I was a skeptic before but this really opened my eyes

Yeah, i recognize the brand, but i thought it had to be more than that. The purpose of censoring the logo is usually legal and to be clear what is and what is not product placement. That is done correctly, so i'd say this doesn't fit this community

Can somebody explain what i'm missing? The logo is blurred correctly and can't be read

The parenthesis is not there to provide the cited source, but rather to specify what to do with the time that is given to us (watch the fellowship of the ring)
