  • Well I had the displeasure of having to use a candybar style phone my mother was using cause it was ‘easier’ for her.

    • Ages to write a message
    • Very difficult to navigate through very similar SMSs (automated ones like electronic prescriptions) and pick the correct one based on date. Or even get an accurate broader picture of how many SMSs you received and when.
    • Did not setup email but I believe it would also be horrendous

    But in my case, I disagree with the base premise of this post. The biggest anxiety and distraction caused by my phone is via phone calls. Asynchronous communications like sms and email are much better for me.







  • Yes, you probably haven’t. If an entity or person does not have a presence in a country it should not be subject to those laws. Their home country should reject enforcing any penalties or extraditing their citizen. Of course the US is the most notorious and more successful in getting people that never had any meaningful relation to the US extradited.

    I also don’t think the UK or an EU nation’s court should be able to try a case against a US government agency, say the FDA because they do not follow the same standards. Or even against ICE agents because they abduct people.

    Democratic countries should be able to have their own laws even if larger countries disagree with them.

    Do you seriously think 4chan is in danger of having the fines collected? They are just right wingers trying to spur the US government into blackmailing the UK into changing their laws to align with US sensibilities and ‘values’. Fuck that.





  • I have multiple times missed time with my wife and children because I wanted to get an important job filled by someone I was excited to hire. Who ghosted me.

    You shouldn’t neglect your children for your job, even if it doesn’t go wrong and you are rewarded (lol) for your efforts.

    Keep them on normal working ours and it shouldn’t be an issue. They are not wasting your time, you are still getting paid unless you on some moronic payment scheme. You can argue they are wasting the company’s money but that’s just the cost of doing business.

    But seriously if you actually have children, you should put them first. Anything else will make you a horrible person in a lot of people’s eyes. Worst case, scenario it will make them resent you.
