You can’t say “calls aren’t that bad because you can do everything possibly to avoid them.”. I’m avoiding them because they’re that bad.

minus-squarePhoenixz@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前Well yeah, because I need to talk to you People have been doing this without problems for decades, why is it a problem now if it wasn’t 10-20 years ago?

It wasn’t a problem 30 years ago. For example. Now you’ll say it WAS a problem and they invented dishwashers to fix it. And I’ll say they invented texting to fix phone calls.
