Agreed, and that's sad :(

Nowadays you can live without a smartphone.
 
Well, disagree. I mean, as long as you mean only smartphone, then I could quite agree because you could use an old phone and a computer to cover most tasks, but if the question involves the idea of all modern devices for extension, then yes I have to disagree. Smartphones and technology are so much involved in our daily life and in society that are a constant part of everyday actions and especially jobs, as well. I think nowadays all kinds of job require you to have and work on and/or with a smartphone. So yeah, even if you could find an alternative for personal reasons, society and work make it hard for you to not have a smartphone. For instance, they basically "force" you to have one, I guess.

I might be getting too much into it, but when I can discuss, I do lol. My philosophy teacher in high school had an old phone and didn't want to use a smartphone, but he needed a computer and used it instead. In my opinion that was kinda meaningless, because while not having a smartphone indeed makes you avoid all the extra things you can access from an everyday device in your pocket, on the other hand you basically do the same from another device that is instead on your desk lol. So, nothing changes at all. And by the way, it was also his job and all the extra stuff he did outside school that forced him to use the computer.

Video games should have a more accessible price.
 
Disagree. I can't see the connection. Microtransactions usually let you pick and choose what you buy. I can see a case for Gacha games though.

A delayed video game is better than an early rushed product.
 
Obviously agree. The worst part is that they made it an actual strategy, as well. Sell an unfinished game and then drip feed the missing stuff. Nintendo in particular has been doing this for the last couple years. I've actually heart that these minor updates are done because that way fans with an audience in particular give them free advertisement over a long period of time.

Despite all the setbacks currently, society is still progressing into a positive direction.

She probably meant loot boxes in particular which are usually sold through microtransactions.
 
Hmmm... well... what one considers positive is subjective.
I think I'll Disagree, simply because I consider various changes, over the last idk how many years, in the behavior of society in general here detrimental rather than a positive.
To name one example: the increase in violence against Ambulance staff and the Police (amongst others). It's downright atrocious if you ask me, especially the cases of ambulance staff getting assaulted as they go somewhere trying to save someone's life. 😤

It is far too easy to take things for granted.
 
I disagree because it gets really awkward when you have two people who think that way and they don't know when the conversation is over.

We won't reach the goal that we had in mind in regards to climate change. It's going to be worse than it could have been.
 
Agree. More time to build story rather than stuffing it into 2 hours.

For most people, it is not necessary to learn a second language.
 
Hmmm probably agree. In most countries you can usually get by fine with just that country's most prominent language.

People focus too much on naming/labeling things.
 
If given a strict choice between cold and hot, I agree. I'd still rather find a balance.

Lack of sleep can ruin a day
 
I agree so much. I usually go to bed at 10 pm and wake up at 6 am, but when I go out and come back too late, I know that the day after will be ruined. That's why I don't go out more than once a week ^^"

Mosquitoes are the worst thing about summer.
 
Given that I really really hate the heat even when there's no heatwave going on I can't fully agree on that. Instead, I'd put them on the same level.

Sundays are pretty much pointless weekend days because of how limited the things are you can do, as well as the fact that it precedes another Monday so you may not even be able to stay up late.

I'd say if your primary language is one of the most spoken languages in the world (like English and Spanish) then that's definitely true. For other countries there was a time when they would still translate a lot of media into their own languages which meant that people didn't need to learn a second one. However, nowadays there's a lot more material primarily available in English. So you kind of have to know at least a little bit about it.
Actually, when I still went to school we started learning English in 5th grade. But nowadays students learn it already in primary school.

I think, what trips me up in this is the "most people" part. Because that's a very relative term. Like, most people don't even have English as their primary language. ^^"
 
Disagree.
Sundays are usually my chill out and relax days to recover from the workweek. Which is not pointless. I also barely go out (if even at all) anyway so most stuff being closed on Sunday doesn't have any impact whatsoever for me =P
If I manage to motivate myself I can even get a bunch of stuff done too!
Also Monday is a day off for me so I can stay up pretty dang late if I want to 😉 😏

Enjoying the job you do is more important than the pay.
 
Personally, probably yes. In general, I would say it goes case to case. I think pay is important, depends on your life goals. Obviously, if you don't enjoy your job, it's going to be very hard especially with the passing of time. I would never recommend it to anyone, maybe only if the pay is a REALLY GOOD pay.

Sometimes failing is better than succeeding.
 
From my experience, I can learn from success, but most of the time, I learn better, and more, when I fail.
However in my country (or Europe in general?) failure is seen as shameful and some people will mock you. Dark Souls (yes, again) helped me understand that failure is not the end, it is not shameful, because you can try any area, any boss, again and again, until you master it enough to beat it. It's a lesson of life! I wish I had known earlier that I didn't need to be perfect to do something.
I'll say I agree because ultimately, my goal in most of my activities (hobbies, jobs, relations) is to become better, and failure is (in my opinion) the better teacher.

Being a successful influencer (including Instagramer, Youtuber, streamer...) is a real-life cheat code.
