  • I do because in general one of the following scenarios happen:

    1. A person is on the other side and when they notice the call went through they say hello (at which point I always reply regaedless of being scam/unexpected call/etc)
    2. A robot is on the other side and automatically starts blabbering gibberish (usually it is instant hang-up when I hear this)
    3. A robot is on the other side and waits for a signal, hanging up in around 3-5 seconds (since I was silent)

    But to be fair if it was ever a human in scenario 3 and I missed an important call, I wouldn’t know (however I don’t think that ever happened)

    Also, the burden of initiating conversation should be on the active caller side, not on the passice receiver

    And lastly, I heard thar if you answer the robots, your number gets flagged as real (instead of other robot), making the scammers call you more often (I’m agnostic in regards to this statement)




  • Well Europe had the benefit of full sovereignty over the entire continent, instead of investing in infrastructure it was all just plundered in the name of profits for the honeland

    I mean, don’t get me wrong I know that China is not doing anything of pure benevolency, still having China as a partner is better than being a colony I guess

    I believe that a better counterargument would be: “well when Europe was relevant to the african continent electricity wasn’t even deployed in all of Europe”
