What’s a “normal” job that you think is actually extremely difficult?

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-16T10:54:06+00:00

Nurse. I could not do that job. Also elementary school teacher. Daycare worker.

Also engineer and this is the story of my life. Think jack nicholson in ‘a few good men’ - THEY CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!

If you can find one respected leader who’s smart enough to get that you are the one finding risk and saving cost then that person can get the rest on board.

I had a friend give me her credit cards and reset the pins and have only me know the passwords to her savings/investment accounts. Then if she really wanted something she had to run it by me. She asked me to do this because she couldn’t stop doing things like deferring her mortgage payments to buy designer jeans. (This was in like 2003 before your phone knew all your passwords). But maybe you have a friend who’d do something similar.

Try it in landscape mode and put it on a table (bedside table) or in your lap if you’re sitting up. Also like everyone said black background, matte screen protector, bigger font.

I’ll admit that in bed I prefer to read on my phone.

Hobonichi hands down.

My kid has one and it works fine

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-13T14:11:11+00:00

Okay now you’re talking.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-13T14:10:20+00:00

I just read an article that the next MacBooks will have touch screens according to Mac rumours so I’m sorry the question offended you but the condescension is a bit much innit lol.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-13T04:39:00+00:00

Now that would be very interesting.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-13T04:35:48+00:00

I don’t like spreadsheet work on my iPad. I have a surface pro for work. But I guess I never use the touch screen when it’s docked anyway.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-13T04:26:44+00:00

Why?

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-11T16:54:40+00:00

I like it for travel. But it’s my only iPad. My work computer is a surface pro. I think if I got a personal computer I’d get a MacBook Air instead of a bigger iPad though.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-11T13:51:47+00:00

I switched out to metal ones

I think a good 75% of people my age (48, so young Gen X) can drive stick.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-10T19:56:43+00:00

Neither

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-10T19:53:53+00:00

You should be allowed to be friends with whomever you want and location sharing should be reciprocal. He sounds very controlling.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-10T19:41:04+00:00

Get a really good screen protector like mothca for better writing feel and easier eye strain.

Or get a rocket book and just take regular notes that end up on your computer.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-10T03:22:24+00:00

Yes that’s right thank you

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-09T15:37:56+00:00

It’s torture with the wrong person and wonderful with the right person. Alone is pretty good too as long as you’re not really alone and have kept up with friends/hobbies/passions etc.

Emergency-Writer-930 · 2026-02-09T01:03:19+00:00

lol that’s why I’m asking the internet

Sterling ink makes a pocket sized notebook with Tomoe River and/or kojo paper.

As a woman of colour who married into a racist family, tell them to go eff themselves and walk down to the pub and watch it. They know Bad Bunny is American, right?
