We have the benefit of decades of parsing this sort of message. 25 years ago, this was like another language.
Especially when individuals or friend groups would make up their own abbreviations for their own slang, and you might have no goddamn idea what something meant

PM is assumed by you, but by no means mentioned or implied by the message content or context.
Unless called out, context usually determined AM/PM as well as what drugs to bring.
oh true, I didn’t catch that assumption of mine!
