What BBN said about it

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, the New York Post says a woman posted the bizarre voice message her Hinge date left after he stood her up.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe post doesn't give us the full message here, so I'm imagining it. Whatever it is, he ghosted her and then chose audio.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThat's a crime.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHonestly, a voicemail is a bold move. Nobody under forty has listened to one since the Bitcoin whitepaper was new.
