    that stuff is nice as an option. There’s a bar I go to that I can order my food and drink to the table my friends are at, while I’m walking to the place, and everything just arrives shortly after I sit down. Other people get offended about how fast I get served, it’s always amusing. I also enjoy not interacting with the staff, nothing against them, brain just doesn’t brain sometimes.

    But what if I didn’t have a phone? or if I left home without it? 24/7 pocket rectangle is not natural.

        Can confirm. Brother had his phone stuck in LA for 2 weeks.

        • Hard time signing into some sites as they only had text for 2 factor
        • Modern alarm clocks are awful, you only get two options and must be plugged in, so if you want 3 alarms while you’re outside of your house? Fuck you.
        • Harder to track public bus routes as not only can you not call dispatch, you can’t check with the app.

        There’s probably more but those affected him the most. Genuinely weird that in 2025 alarm clocks are stuck in 1985.
