dQw4w9WgXcQ, in Aaaaaand it's over

Maybe I should be single, but this is my preferred way to speak on the phone when I’m not bothering anyone, and the enviornment is relatively quiet. It frees up my hands for a better range of motion if I’m doing anything else, and it removes my common accidental hang-up when my ear or face touches the display.

If the environment becomes noisy or people are around, I of course switch back to old-school DJ-gesture phone call mode.

mcteazy,

Why are you holding it up to your face? I use speaker too if I’m busy and my hands are full but i put it down on a table. This has no advantage, you still have to hold it

If the phone is too far from your face, they can’t hear you as well. You don’t have to talk as loud to be heard when on speaker phone. Besides, I have a hard time hearing when I don’t use it, and I can clearly hear them when it’s on and near my face. They hear me better and I hear them better; definitely an advantage.

mcteazy,

This is literal insanity

Part of what got me started was a bad microphone on my phone, but I realized it had advantages when you’re alone. Honestly, talking on the phone in public at all isn’t great. Everyone can hear your side of the conversation, and while it’s much better than eating pizza, people ought to avoid calls in public whenever possible. Whenever I’m around others, I keep the calls short, and when I’m alone and do take longer calls, I eat that pizza. Judge pizza eaters when you see them, but don’t feel shame for doing it when alone. While you’re at it, don’t let people having loud, vibrant phone conversations off the hook.

dQw4w9WgXcQ,

I sometimes move around in my house while talking, since I’m a nervous guy when it comes to phone calls. Having the phone at chest or waist level makes it a lot quicker to change hands or even use lower arms or elbows to hold things or open doors or whatever. It’s just less constraining, even if it’s marginal.

Smoogs,

You know what is hands free? Headphones.

son_named_bort, in Who else is ready for an "invasion"

The aliens will never invade. There’s no intelligent life on this planet.

Also, no need to invade when we’re content to destroy ourselves.

Ranvier, (edited ) in Who else is ready for an "invasion"

But the aliens wouldn’t share the resources with us, or maybe like just a pittance to keep us alive so we could be used as cheap lab… oh I see where this is going.

Nobody,

We’d settle for straight up feudalism at this point. Serfs had guaranteed jobs, housing, food, and a decent amount of time off.

I wouldn’t mind being part of a work crew building a futuristic ray gun aimed at destroying a planet 30 light years away that I know nothing about.

At least I’d get lunch right? … Right?

You can run, but can you never escape us.

MrSlicer,

Unlike you fly that works pretty well.

As a discord admin\mod, I feel like they have way more power than they need.

Whisper06, in It's going

Perhaps it is acceptance that is best in those situations.

Works for me.

Copythis, in Aaaaaand it's over

I always think it’s funny seeing people driving holding their phone like a pop tart.

It’s not hands free just because it’s on speaker phone.

Or you have some psycho come into your house to watch TV or a movie without using a bowl or solid container

Raiderkev,

Cool original? Where TF is it called this? I know it’s Cool American in Europe, never seen cool original.

Nfamwap,

Cool Original here in the UK

XTornado,

People use bowls for chips??? Like I have seen it in movies… but never in real life except when eating on the table.

lseif,

i thought that was ai generated

LemmyInRedditSux,

It looks fairly realistic except for the fact he’s advertising two very different things at the same time

save on air time and marketing budget with this one simple trick

TeenieBopper, (edited ) in It's going

My dad died when I was 32 and my mom when I was 35. So like, not when I was a kid, but still relatively young. I just thought it was normal, right? Because everyone had their own normal. My therapist had to spend an entire session about how abnormal it was. 'how many of your friends have lost one or both of their parents?" The answer was less than two.

Blackmist, in Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's not happening

That’s because we told them that there would be jobs on the other side of that debt.

Just lie your way in. Worry about how to do the job later.

chicken, in Shut. The fuck. Up.

I never got the point of watching a movie with someone if you’re both just totally silent and not interacting the whole time. Then at the end it’s like “what did you think of the movie” “it was ok” “yeah”

2 hours wasted

latesleeper,

More like be relatively silent and the occasional comment during and most conversation afterwards. Easily an hour’s worth if it was a good movie.

chicken,

I guess that makes sense if you’re watching movies with people who have a lot of thoughts about movies, I’ve never watched a movie with someone who had more than ten second’s worth of things to say about it afterwards though.

Kusimulkku,

Same. I didn’t come over to just watch a movie in silence, I wanted to hangout with you lol

jimbo,

Why do people enjoy shared experiences? Such mystery.

Nice! Y’know, Lemmy is surprisingly more toxic than Reddit, at least in Reddit, hate comments were 40%, not 90% lmao
