It's not lost on me the amount of #tech that is on this table. It's amazing, sad, and increasing terrifying, all at the same time #modernlife #travel

One thing I really do not understand is the obsession with messaging over a phone call.

You have to wait ages to finish a conversation that could have taken 2 minutes, meanwhile I'm in wait mode because someone hasn't responded and can't get on with things until it's been sorted out.

And yet people think it is weird that I would much rather call, ask a question, get the answer and get on with the rest of my day.

It is completely bewildering to me.

Translation. "We've checked with Mick in the warehouse and he's pretty sure we've got one of them. He'll check later."

Yesterday the very nice man who delivered our groceries said that he's a Cybersecurity University Student and is just driving for the Supermarket during holidays.

I asked him if he was on Mastodon and he was confused because .. he's not on *any* Social Media.

And ... HOW ?

Seriously HOW does someone (presumably) in their early 20's - in 2025 - and studying Cyber - not have *any* social media accounts?

I'm.. confused.

The calender is *just* brushing the end of April and I am now getting Christmas ads on YouTube.

FFS !

ATTORNEY: Your Honor, the courtroom reeks of marijuana. And I'm concerned that a juror has been getting high or got high on a break. It smells -- the smell is so strong -- when I was standing over at the podium, it feels like someone has just smoked a joint standing there. It is very strong.
THE COURT: You know --
THE CLERK: Mm-hm.
THE COURT: -- we had this issue last week during a plea.
ATTORNEY: I know.
THE COURT: Yeah.

I sometimes wonder if anyone has calculated how much extra stress/cost we experience in comparison to previous generations when not only do we have to work harder and more intensively for far less pay, but also literally anything we purchase is now built/destined/formatted to break every two years like clockwork. My grandparents never had to buy six washing machines in their lifetime or replace their phone every two years. My grandpa had a drill from the 1940s that he was still using when I was in university. I've been through three in ten years.
