I think this quote applies to literally everyone: “The house I live in matters more than the code I ship.”
Replace “code I ship” with “reel I post” or, even more broad, “job i have.” Really anything. It’s a lesson needed in every industry or hobby. Recent trends with “maxing” everything or hustle culture and all that goes with these ideas are so unhealthy. We need rest. We need boredom. We need stasis.
Thanks for sharing, this is a great piece.
Im truly struggling to understand what you mean. If your phone battery runs out, and you cant call anyone, do your legs and mouth suddenly stop working? Walk to a bus/train/transport station, use your words and pay for a trip home. obviously, if your money relies on the phone battery, yes you are truly stranded. But if you have a card or cash, you are not. It’s quite simple. I guess you just have no imagination and can’t fathom that people existed without phones or something? I’m asking in earnest, what do you mean?
Right there with you. Access to my money relying on a device that needs to be charged is just stupid. I’m stranded somewhere, my phone runs out of battery, suddenly I have zero dollars. No thanks.
Samsung messages is perhaps the worst software I’ve ever encountered, so fuck Google, but its at least a lateral step lol
