You need math in every job. Even if it's just some generic conveyor belt line/factory work.

Microsoft Excel is great for helping with your math needs at work.

I love Microsoft Excel....I make lots of gaming spreadsheets with it....yes, I'm one of those weirdos :P

Cool. I made one before. It's relaxing.

I tried to scroll to the bottom, turns out there is way too much lines for me to do that, lol

There's a key combination that moves you to the last line, iirc.

 

[Zaronji]

181

ctrl+end takes you to the last line you've used. I like scrolling past that though for fun sometimes :P

 

[Charcadet121]

Welp, I have a phone.

What's a phone? I kid, but I'm actually old enough where nobody had them in high school :P

 

[Charcadet121]

You know, a cellphone? Cellular device? Mobile phone? 📱?

I used to have an old side-slide phone when I did a lot of texting with people, but it got out-moded. I replaced it with a trash flip phone that doesn't hold a charge for Muk, and made texting a true nightmare, so I finally got Discord and have only used the phone again once lol. I would drop the plan, but it's very cheap, and it's nice to have around in the event of an emergency.

Spoiler:

Also, now that books are steadfastly in the lead, I feel like sharing this with you all! :D

Books are timeless!

Definitely. It's very fun going back and reading older books and seeing how their topics are recontextualized with new technology and societal standards, or how they're completely negated, or even how much of them surprisingly STILL hold true in some way despite some of them being super old.

Up until 2021 I still had an old Sony Ericsson phone. It was so old, you could even replace the batteries with no issue! :D

Books are way better for my nerves than movies; I run away during most movies.

 

[Lavender]

191

Yeah, books are so much more relaxing!

 

[Megan]

192

You can read them at your own pace. That's for sure. :D

Everyone was just trying to write funny words on a calculator instead 😅

Oh yes, the good old art of forcing us all to upgrade (and landfill) an entire device even if it only needs a battery 😭
