Transcription (of iMessage exchange): “Hi, is this Paul?
Who is this
This is Erica from the dentist's office. I got your number from your file
Pretty sure this violates Hippo but shoot your shot I guess
I'm not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”
Alright, I'll be that guy... Hippo...
My guess is they tried to write "hippa" and it autocorrected, because it's "HIPAA"
Could also be short for Hippocratic oath?
It's the oath to hold hippo law above all other laws
There are a few things I miss about reddit, like the HIPAA bot.
Beep boop. I am¹ a Lemmy bot. It looks like you started writing the name of a magical,¹ friendly¹ animal who salutes people by flinging feces. Did you mean to refer to “hippopotamus”?
Whoa apparently you left this comment 6 days ago but it just showed up in my inbox today. I check my inbox every day and your comment did not appear until 6 days after you left it. Federation weird(?)
I'mma go stalk your profile now to get evidence that you're not really a bot, just a clever fun Lemmyer.
Lolol. My instance periodically stops pushing content. Then it plays catch up.
Boop beep.
He meant to say HIPAA. In sort, series a laws for patient protections which include looking at a patient's record to get their phone number for personal reason.
Yeah, it's funny and nobody had mentioned it, so I did ;)
DiD YoU jUst AsSume ThEir IdeNtity?
/s (you probably meant she*)
The chatter identified as "Paul" said "Hippo". I don't think the person above you made a bad assumption.
