yeah, lifetime. hence the other screenshot showing the download button working in a different scenario

the person I'm trying to download from might not have it though.

dude, go back to reddit. you can assume people are fucking morons over there to your heart's content and you will probably always be right.

I had tried getting my way through that seven times before making this post before finally realizing that it wasn't actually telling me how to make a backup up top, it was only telling me how to transfer phones. there is no indication that all the instructions up top were not about how to make a backup, I just kept following them and wondering, when does my backup show up? because the sub-header says that it's instructions on how to "Use a backup to move your local Signal data to a new Android phone", implying that at some point along the way here, we will be making a backup, and then I can just not follow any more steps and I have my backup. so I tried searching for the word backup, and it had 67 hits on the page, of which it appears 18 are used correctly. every other time it's used, the word "transfer" should be in its place.

this isn't reddit. when somebody asks a question, assume they've done the most basic of googling at the very least, because your comment helped 0%.

oh, I wasn't trying to be dickish about it, but I was pointing out that fighting a Canada goose is much different than fighting a pelican. a pelican, there seem to be multiple ways to hold it off without really hurting it, with a goose, the way they attack you can really only go for the head or neck which probably means you're going to kill it.

I was very high at the time so the rest is pretty much rambling.

I'm suggesting that you try contributing to a community before being an asshole in it. the first rule that will help you there is reading the name of a community before being a dickwad.

I'm scared of needlessly hurting animals. I couldn't have made that more plain. this isn't reddit, you don't just wade in insulting people over things you have no understanding of.

society as a whole has agreed that "yo momma" jokes are not actually about the other party's mother. people like you who break that convention gets this

then why do they keep trying to eat things that are bigger than them

they couldn't be naturally offended by bananas, as what we recognize as a banana is completely man-made. they must be unnaturally offended by it, or we bred the banana in such a way that it looks exactly like something that used to be offended by

probably pelican dildos.

I deal with a lot of unleashed dogs around here going after my dog so I'm already carrying pepper spray. it's too bad avians are immune to it.

actually it's not THAT bad. pepper spraying a seabird would probably end up with it drowning because it can't see where it's flying

this person was obviously seeing your mother last night

no but I can print a picture of one

well hold on, a Canada goose can get up to 14 lb easily, the brown pelican tops out at 6.9 lb, and doesn't have a cobra neck so your only options aren't attack the head & neck or do nothing.

like if there's a group of kids around, I'd rather they go home with a story about how I got beaten up by a goose then the trauma of the memory of a pudgy middle-aged man smashing a goose's head in front of them. I remember when I was like five and Animal Control had to come to my school and shoot a raccoon because they thought it had rabies, I got pretty emotional about that. heck, here I am talking about it more than 30 years later.

plus if anybody records it, no matter how much anybody acknowledges they don't want to be bitten by a goose, I'm still going to be branded a heartless goose killer and probably doxxed. there's a lot at play here
