Dad: How do I get Apple Pay?

Me: Go to your Wallet app

Dad: I don’t have a Wallet app

Me: Are you sure? You have the 6S right?

Dad: SE

<I google to see if the SE has Wallet. It does.>

Me: You should have it

Dad: Does it come installed on the phone?

Me: Yeah swipe left on your home screen to search for it

Dad: I did that ... there are 8 apps ... that is not one of them.

Me: Hmm that’s odd because I googled it and it said it’s on the SE. Send me a screen shot of your search

Dad: Found it ... it was within my finance app. Now what?

Me: Ah. Open the app and click the blue plus sign

Next, this screen will come up <I sent a screen shot of the “Continue” page

Dad: Keep going

Me: Then you can add your card info. Take a picture of it or enter details manually

Dad: What card?

Me: I have both my credit and debit entered

Dad: I forgot my wallet today 🤪

its weird being 18, 19, 20 in 2016 because i remember going into kindergarten and seeing those chunky ass giant computers at the desk and then going through school while technology rapidly develops and graduate in a world where people can have the entire internet and more just in their pocket like idk its so strange to me

[nasanap]

sorry to add to the post but I remember in 5th grade when they invented the “smart whiteboard” and my school won one for the library and everyone lost their shit because they were so expensive and I graduated high school last year and by the time I graduated every single classroom had one. Watching technology go from glitchy and expensive to powerful and affordable within less than ten years continues to blow my mind

[barsonaddict]

Okay, not to diminish your experience but…I’m in my early thirties. I remember when the only person around who had a cellphone was my friend’s dad who was a doctor. Literally no one else had them, and this thing was huge.

We didn’t get regular whiteboards until I was in 8th grade (maybe?) but mostly we still had chalkboards. “Smart whiteboards” weren’t a thing until after I finished high school.

The first time I ever used a computer I was in 7th grade. I didn’t own a computer until I went to university. I learned what an “ethernet cable” was when I was 18.

And when our teachers said, “you need to know your timestables- it’s not like you will be carrying around a calculator in your pocket’ and we believed them because smartphones were not even conceivable in the early ‘90s.

Wow, I’m old. Get off my lawn kids.

Someone on twitter tonight very kindly informed me that, waaaaay back once upon a time in 2011, @linmanuel posted his dream cast for a West Wing musical on his now-defunct blog. And since the internet never forgets, I share it with you all now.

I support everything about this casting (Patti LuPone as Marion Coatsworth-Hayes! Audra McDonald as Nancy McNally!) and wish to see it become reality as soon as humanly possible.

[linmanuel]

The notion of dreamcasting the West Wing musical is LITERALLY what drew me into the Twitter. So happy you found this.

This must happen.

I really want Hillary to just say “Donald how does a bill get passed” and just wait for his response

[alexagent21]

We all know how a bill gets passed. There are some great bills. Beautiful bills. Unbelievable bills.

Will you pass bills, they ask me. I will pass some bills. Some of the best bills.

Hillary will never pass bills. She’s never passed any bills. I will pass them. I’ll pass so many bills it’ll be yuge. Hillary passed some of the worst bills. Worst bills ever. Unbelievable. She’s married to Bill Clinton.

I had words for this then I lost them

"There's a word, and the word is love and it's right for me... There's a time, and the time is now and it's right for me..."

[jenrussell]

It's going to be an unbearable day. 😂

[jenrussell]

This links to the 1st chapter, I think, but I posted 2 more chapters this week! 😃

[jenrussell]

An SVU Tuckson fanfic. The first fanfic I've ever written. Reviews would be appreciated, especially constructive criticism on my writing, and ideas for more substantial storylines. Thanks!

[jenrussell]

This still hurts. 😩😭💔 They were perfect together.

[jenrussell]

Thanks to the other Senators supporting Senator Chris Murphy's filibuster to stand up to gun violence. Hold the Floor, man.

[donnajosh]

I’m just asking how we’re going to do this. The Chairman is going to gavel him off if he stops talking or sits.
