No, thank you
  • My dentist has started texting about appointment reminders and reschedules. It's an automated system but also a person can manually jump into the conversation. I love it because it means I don't have to talk to them on the phone.

  • How do you call someone born in the US besides "American"?
  • It's ridiculous to give such weight and care to silly things like labels.

    I don't care what they want to call me in English. My comment was intended to read as dismissive of the entire conversation.

  • What has been the biggest surprise about getting older?
  • I've felt the same about tablets since at least when the MacBook Air first came out⁰. I was in my early 20s. I don't think that particular opinion has much to do with age. Tablets are a compromise device. They're in between a phone and a computer but they're worse than both.

  • I've often thought that we can squarely blame Western Europe for the proliferation of suits being the normal business wear. It makes sense for them because have you visited the UK in summer? Or northern the northern half of the continent? It's downright cold sometimes. In the middle of summer. It makes sense for them to wear all that crap all the time. I do wish we weren't influenced so heavily by that to the point that we don't have any real alternatives when it comes to formal and business attire.

  • Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.
  • For what it's worth I've had one of those integrated overhead fixtures in my kitchen for about 6 years. It hasn't failed yet. The overall shape of the fixture which we like also wouldn't be possible if the bulbs were replaceable.

  • How does everyone feel about Samsung phones?
  • Good thing the EU is making it so we're not going to have to worry about that for much longer.

    Also it is possible to change the battery in your device it just takes some effort. Ifixit has replacement batteries, the needed tools and good instructions for many devices.

  • How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?
  • RIF specifically directed me here. I didn't join one before that because I didn't know which one was "best". I honestly don't care which one I joined, I just wanted to be on the one everyone else is on. I know this mindset somewhat defeats part is the purpose of the federated communities. I don't care about that in the slightest I just want a clone of Reddit.

    Also "world" sounds more generic/standard than ml. Most people probably think it's a military website or something.

    You'll probably find 90%+ of casuals are in the same boat as me.
