Most people don't think about how things work. I'd guess that most customers thought all the smart features were internal and the Internet connection was just an arbitrary requirement

Walmart depresses me with its new bare concrete floors, and dystopian looking decor. The sheer amount of stuff to look it is overwhelming, too. So yeah, I don't like going there.

Thank you. Now I can happily block OP's profile.

Merry Christmas, Baby by The Beach Boys.

Half the album this song comes from is original songs, the other half is the old favorites that were already old favorites at the time.

Yeah, that doesn't work well anymore. Gotta be a noisy dedicated worker, and be willing to move jobs a few times to start seeing the rewards

So, they technically didn't go to bed angry

It can be a great compliment when someone knows you well enough to see that you're overthinking things. Too many times it's just thrown around without thinking it through and that ruins it for everyone

Oh wow that's a good one! There was a time where it worked out great the vast majority of the time. Not so much now, definitely aged like milk

The top 20 or so most common names today will be the top 20 or so old people names in the future.

Absolutely. I'm spoiled to where I am suddenly tasting the wax in regular Hershey's bars

Oh no, I can already hear the whining about "but (insert type of person the speaker doesn't like) don't deserrrrve an income!" If we can outvote the bootstrappers and rugged individualists, we can see this thing happen.

Hmm, looks like the image generator messed up the words a bit

Thank you, good article

I prefer something much bigger than a tiny home and wider than a trailer home.

Nothing. I'll occasionally take the free month of YouTube or Pandora, then immediately cancel it. Password sharing gets me Amazon Prime video, I think that will run out eventually and I don't watch much of what's on there anyway.

Other than that, the local library has DVDs of most movies and they loan them out for free, so with a DVD player I'm good to go for whenever I want to watch something.

Burglary of my house, kidnapping, missing person, missing vehicle presumed stolen (after checking any other options), and in case a certain few unstable people I know showed up at my front door.

I've debated calling the non-emergency number to ask what the speed limit was on an unmarked stretch of road, but decided not to.

Also burns if you forget the saline packet

I'll do as long a sentence as I can easily remember. Something silly, a memorable movie quote, an explanation of what the profile/app is for, a reminder for why I use the profile/app, goal I have in the area of life I need to use the app for.

Since most password fields require special characters, I'll slap an exclamation point or question mark at the end to complete the sentence. Sometimes I'll think to use a sentence that already has a number and type the digit instead of spelling it out. Or I'll just use a 2 for too or to.

Not-real example based on a not-real goal

Yes. You can use it without understanding how it works behind the scenes. At some point, they'll run into a situation where it is helpful to learn some part of how the fediverse works and then they can ask about it, generating more content and interaction along the way

So much text in one message comes across as monologuing. It makes sense that someone would only be interested if it involves something they're very interested in or passionate about.

The same amount of information broken up across several messages usually comes off better and invites a conversation. Especially if you wait for a response before going on with your subject.

Edit, also be open to the conversation moving away from the subject you wanted to go on about. Constantly moving the conversation back to your topic so you can finish your thought doesn't work out well
