i just love it that they made like 20.000 of these and when one turned out to be correct it’s just so correct it makes you resonate with a random dead guy from a hundred years ago
This assumes you are popular enough to be bothered with
Scammers have enteted the
chatcall log
Completely unrealistic, nobody will keep there ringer on
And if they do call and it’s an emergency they’ll leave a message anyway
Hopefully it’s not an actual emergency that requires immediate answer
If it’s an actual emergency, call 911.
If it doesn’t need 911, society needs to accept that people are sometimes just not immediately available and be accommodating.
I will answer my phone if one of a handful of people call me if at all possible, but sometimes it just isn’t in the cards. It’s convenient to take care of seemingly urgent matters that way, but it’s not the end of the world if it has to wait a bit for someone to be actually available.
The world survived for centuries without the ability to immediately get a hold of everyone at a moment’s notice.
Sucks if someone needs some urgent info from you, like a blood type or whatever for emergency contact reasons and they could have it, but you don’t like to answer the phone.
Nobody was saying you have to always immediately answer your phone. Just that there’s situations where a phone call is better than sending a text.
Can’t speak to the ‘or whatever’ as there may be things I know that are truly urgently needed, but blood type isn’t really an example of a phone type emergency.
Ambulances frequently don’t even carry blood, and when they do, they usually have a small amount of O blood. The question of blood type doesn’t even come into play. Similarly at the hospital, while they may prefer to match blood type, they will use O blood at least in the short term, with a blood typing test being a matter of a couple of minutes to get the information directly instead of relying on pulling up and using the emergency contact information. This is assuming their medical record doesn’t just already have the information.
As said, I try to be available, but it’s largely ruined by the volume of bullshit calls making it impossible to be at the beck and call of any random caller while also living a vaguely sane lifestyle. So I’ll usually send to voicemail unless it’s someone I actually recognize that I know will only call over an urgent matter.
Reminder that Socrates was said to have hated books because they corrupted the youth, weakening students’ faculties by removing the need to memorise information.
Every single generation since records have existed thought the new tech was ruining us.
Now get off my fucking lawn.
We also have a lot more knowledge than we used to. Socrates didn’t have to remember about molecular metabolization pathways or the energy transition of a turbium atom, or what the arbitrary name has been given to a medium coffee at Starbucks.
Could socrates predict invention of encyclopedia?
Ancient philosphy vs some madlad going “Ah yes today I will write down EVERYTHING.”cut to parchment with the word “EVERYTHING” written on it in a fancy font
Ah but new tech always has been ruining us
Those damn kids and their newfangled pointy rocks. Back in my day, if you needed your rock to do more damage, you just got a bigger one!
