I tried RCS twice, in both cases the other end did not receive my message or at a later time.

This is not indicative of how well RCS will work as its widespread adoption continues to mature. I do understand your frustration; I just would expect the growing pains to last much longer. Remember how shitty USB C was for the first few years?

Counterpoint: SMS shouldn’t exist, and RCS is our best shot at replacing it right now

Just absolutely demolish the toilet every time you use it.

Make them suck out that half-a-ply-ass-TP with oil rig equipment.
