Portable web browser to read books on. That's all I use mine for, except for the occasional text message / phone call. I got by fine for a long while with just my laptop, but reading on my phone is just a lot more convenient in a lot of cases. Like when you're walking, or running, or standing, or laying down. It's a pain in the ass to read from a laptop while walking, I've almost dropped the poor thing too many times to count.
Been using proton vpn for a few years now, works great. They made a better Linux client recently too, so it's just been smooth sailing from the get go for me.
Stores buy specifically tailored perfume to encourage people to buy in demand products, it's not even a secret or anything it's s common practice. Some smaller stores do the same but with music playlists.
Another common one I've seen is adverts, which are exactly that and so common that lots of people don't even notice them anymore.
Then of course there's the simpler things, like the design of a website. Well designed websites make the difference between a customer and a passer-by.
Discord. It takes like 12 seconds to start each time I launch it. Of course it's plenty fast after that, so I guess it's just the startup time that's slow.
Sorry, I don't remember. I was like 8 or something, so my memory of the event isn't exactly clear. I think it had mushrooms and tomatoe chunks though, since I hated those during that age range, so it would make sense why I would react so strongly to it.
Maybe? I never really grew out of it, my brain just realized that emotions don't solve problems and stopped bothering me about it all the time. Though, my fears are more along the lines of forcefully being prevented from dying, rather than the alternative. Still get the chills whenever I imagine having dementia and not being allowed to kill myself.
I'm not suicidal anymore, but still. There are things I'd rather choose the forever-sleep than experience.
