Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation

Btw if you have dietary restrictions you can often let them know and in many cases they’ll prioritize certain items for you

I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?

Tell your children about your medical history.

i know this is coming from a place of like intense sexual objectification and homophobia and racism not to mention the world ending efforts of big oil but unfortunately it is so funny

WORLD'S STUPIDEST PROBLEM:

my mum loaned me her iPhone bc my android isn't working right, and I can't exit the settings because iPhones apparently no longer have home buttons, and there's no obvious other way to do it

jackironsides

I did, in fact, try swiping up from the settings, and nothing happened. Presumably I'm Swiping Wrong. It works from other apps, but not from Settings.

I'm increasingly not a fan of this "get rid of every button and only use gestures" thing, because I'm finding that my movements are apparently "wrong". I remember my friend with essential tremor who did many things on her phone with voice commands. Buttons are easy to use. A click from a button is something that doesn't need super fine motor control. But I cannot tell you the number of times my current phone thinks I'm swiping up when I intend to swipe down. It happens multiple times a day. The number of times when swipe text (because tapping a screen repeatedly makes the joints on my hands hurt) returns nonsense, because it didn't like the way I'd moved my finger across the keys.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that touchscreens are not the amazing boon they're supposed to be. I suspect they're something that is increasingly going to lock out disabled people, many of whom could manage switches or dials or buttons just fine. This is just one particularly obnoxious example of it.

I was also using an iPad when they added some other new swipe option where I had to remember to swipe up on my iPhone for something, and down on my iPad for the exact same thing. Or vice versa; I don't remember anymore. I've noticed that Apple has this tendency in their design these days where you have to memorise a bunch of secret handshakes to do anything, and if you stop using their devices and come back to them later, it's going to be completely unintuitive what you're supposed to do. I'm not a fan.

... I just had to look up how to turn off the phone.

I HAD TO LOOK UP HOW TO TURN OFF THE PHONE.

Can you imagine the kind of user experience FAILURE that is??? Pressing the same button I used to turn it on DIDN'T WORK.

WHY IS APPLE LIKE THIS. How is this supposed to be an improvement over before, when a phone behaved as you would expect, based on the previous twenty-plus years of experience with similar devices?

When my work laptop broke, I couldn't really afford to replace it and I, very luckily, had the opportunity to get a free iPad so I did that instead. Bluetooth keyboards are cheap and I just had to be able to fill in PDF forms with it so I thought it was a great option. NOPE. I had to Google how to print to a printer - it's under "sharing." Printing isn't sharing, it's printing! The printer has an app but you can't print through that, either! Only by "sharing." And you know what else is under "sharing"? Sending a file from one app to another ON THE SAME DEVICE. That's not sharing! It's all here on this device! Or at least it shouldn't be "sharing," except Apple decided you have to "share" between apps bc it's also nearly impossible to find where things save to! I can't open a file I was working on in one app in a different app by just opening the file in the other app bc where is the file!? There's a bunch of files that I know I saved but I have no idea where they are bc I can't find them anywhere. And my mom and sister, who both love Apple, couldn't help bc their phones and laptops are different from my iPad and while my mom has an iPad she doesn't do much with it. It slowed me down at work so much that if I'd stayed with that job any longer I'd likely have had to shell out for a new laptop (or a new android tablet at least).

It's no wonder tech literacy is going down the drain when most kids are growing up using an OS that makes no sense and doesn't behave the same from device to device let alone anything like other OS's, which tend to have more features in common. Like, of course kids don't know how to create a new file folder on a desktop when Apple has made file folders on their (at least mobile idk about computer) devices as dysfunctional as possible. Idk what Apple thought they were doing with these design choices but it's Bad.
