      Nah the phones old enough that no one was getting on Twitter or Facebook with it, this is from the era where you’d have to actual view those pages on a PC. She’s clearly using the computer for her heroin hook up.

        Twitter began first and foremost as an SMS-based social network in the pre-smartphone era. Everything was done by text message, including signup IIRC. In the US I think the phone number was 40404. Twitter’s longstanding 140-character limit was a direct result of wanting to make sure tweets could fit into SMS’s limit of 160 characters and still have room for extra data like the username.

        I remember going on a family vacation to central Oregon and having no cell signal for several days. When I got back to a connection my phone became unusable for almost half-an-hour because I was constantly receiving text messages from Twitter that had failed to deliver while I was out of reach.

        Facebook actually had methods to post from SMS (and email) in those early days but the SMS functionality was limited to certain (mostly national) carriers and back then there were a lot more regional carriers and I was never able to try the SMS service.

        I don’t know if MySpace offered anything like that; I never had an account. Back then it was the public social network. Facebook was seen as more private because only your friends could see your posts and it was only open to college students (only at certain universities that had been configured in the software).

        It was a brave new world back then that seemed to herald a bright new future, even better than when we’d been using AIM and MSN Messenger.

    Spend a bit of time on twitter or Facebook and you’ll want some hard drugs to blast you into an alternate reality too

    Heroin, also known formally as TikTok. Weird she’s still on MySpace, though.

    All that stuff is so bad for teenagers and addictive, they really ought to be outlawed! Oh yeah, the heroin sucks too.

      What’s wrong with MySpace? They were pretty cool, the walking corpse it turned into around 2010 iirc not so much. But this predates that. Twitter was also pretty cool back then.

    Based on the font angles, I think she on a boat.

    Y’all are too young to remember the opioid epidemic. She probably died of an overdose and her body was dumped in a ditch. Shit was bad. I mean it’s still bad but it was REALLY bad.
