How important to you is your cellphone?
Doom Metal Alchemist replied to Still Me's topic in Free-For-All
For non-traditionally-phone functions, I generally prefer my computer. However, I like texting WAY more than voice-to-voice calling. I also like how I can bring my phone with me in any room of the house (as well as anywhere outside the house), but I can also turn it off when I want. So it's like the best of both worlds, either I can communicate from anywhere or I can choose to shut everyone out at the click of a button. I use mobile banking. I could figure out how to use the bank's website on my comp, but I don't feel like it. Since I use the mobile app to deposit checks, I don't feel the need to figure out their desktop site. That's probably the only exception to my "prefer to do it on the computer" rule. For "prefer to do on my comp, but can be very useful on phone" is when I am CD shopping in a brick-and-mortar music store, and I see an album cover/name that catches my eye that I do not recognize, but it looks like something I may like. Get out the cell phone, get on Safari and look up reviews of the album and decide whether or not to buy it based on that. When I'm out and about waiting for something to happen/start, listening to music on my phone makes killing the time infinitely more enjoyable. If I'm waiting for my name to be called or something and I want to make sure I can hear, I play solitaire instead (I don't really care about games, but its something to do while I'm waiting for something). For pretty much my entire adult life until maybe like last year or 2016, I would listen to the radio every time I would drive somewhere in my car. Well in recent years I've been fed up with the radio, so now I play my phone's iPod app on shuffle through a blue-tooth speaker that fits in my drink-holder. So much better than the radio. I love the notes app on my phone. I use it to makes notes of all kinds of things. The Reminder app USED to be great. For some reason somewhere along the line, the timer that would tell the app when to pop the reminder up stopped working. Like I would set it, and it would immediately unset. The reminder would still be there, but it never pops up without me specifically accessing it. The point of the Reminder app is so it pops up at the right time so I don't forget about something! Oh well. Love the weather and calendar apps. I guess weather is another thing I prefer on the phone than the computer, but I don't have a weather app on my comp. I use the calendar app on my phone when I'm not by my computer. Sometimes while I'm out waiting for something, I'll check my email, facebook, craigslist, letgo, ebay... but all those I prefer to do on the comp. -
mom is making me go to the disability office :(
Doom Metal Alchemist replied to Phillies's topic in Free-For-All
It's either disability, a job, or living in a gutter. The choice is yours. -

I'm only older than (almost?) all the IBers. Apparently cracky is an exception. At least I consider him an IBer. -
I was gonna work on my 5 minute speech
Doom Metal Alchemist replied to jackiemarie90's topic in Free-For-All
That's too bad. I don't know if your Comm 1A class is the very rudimentary one, like my Comm 3 was. Our teacher actually encouraged us to pick really easy topics. I did one speech about my Ozzy hat, one speech about the band Rainbow... I can't remember what my other speech was about. Maybe the info being presented wasn't important to anybody, but before I took that class I was deathly nervous about presenting in class, and after that class presenting in other classes was cake. Presenting easy shit gets you comfortable talking in front of a crowd which is a very valuable skill to have. I really think that was really the only goal of that Comm 3 class that I took, but it's a very valuable one imo. -

I don't have enough of an imagination to meaningfully contribute to this thread. All I got is the eyePhone from Futurama.

I'm getting the impression that you are very, very, bored.

Oh. Assuming I understood that right, no, I'm not NEET.
