The phones with those features have been discontinued but they were never unpopular, they were just what phones were.

Nobody 10 years ago was saying "I wish I couldn't replace my phone battery" or "I hate that I have the option to plug my wired IEMs into my phone"

People just do what people are good at. Adapting.

Manufacturers have taken these options away because it is profitable to do so. People have largely adapted to that (although I still refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack)

Madly jealous that you have grocery stores open this late. Where I am they close at 9pm on weekdays, 5pm on weekends

Strong agree with your first 2 points, stronger disagree with your last point. Do you seriously think a 40 year old doesn't deserve a vote?

Art gallery followed by some lunch, then visit a record store.

This way you get to know the person's tastes in art and you can judge if you're compatible. If they don't like the art you like it's probably not a good fit. If they pick up a Taylor Swift album I know it's not gonna work.

I think a person's taste in art is a very good indicator. And if they're not really into art or music then they're not a good match

The fact OP posts this question tells me she's not ready

Kinda seems like capitalism has been that second image for most of my adult life

I'd MUCH rather my tax dollars go to public transport for the masses, as opposed to embedding magnets in roads to help wealthy self-driving car owners

Depends on what you classify as an ad.

Ive started watching the series Long Way Round, which is essentially an ad for BMW.

I click on steam sale ads for video games.

When local stores have sales, they have ads for those sales on their websites which I click on from time to time - recently I was shopping for a soundbar and a local store was having a sale on soundbars so I clicked that ad on their website.

When ads aren't too intrusive, and they're relevant, and they're not peddling garbage I don't have too much of a problem with them

I miss using my old lg phones, I had the v30, v40, and v50 and they were basically perfect. Now when I shop for phones it's like looking for the least bad option

Australia doesn't manufacturer cars any more. All cars in Australia are imported. Unless I'm misunderstanding your comment?

If you think overtaking is dangerous, perhaps you should have your mega-ute taken away
