minus-square@surewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink15•2 months agoI check my texts. I check my email. I check my DM. When I want to. YOU choose when the call happens.
minus-square@Gerprimus@feddit.orglinkfedilink5•2 months agoAnd ignoring the call or turn DND on isn’t an option? No judgement, just curious.
minus-square@surewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-1•2 months agoThat would be the mitigation to the problem, yes. But I’m describing why it’s a problem in the first place. You can’t say “calls aren’t that bad because you can do everything possibly to avoid them.”. I’m avoiding them because they’re that bad.
minus-square@surewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 months agoBecause I don’t pick when it happens. And I have bad ADHD so being interrupted is a problem for me.
minus-squarePhoenixzlinkfedilink1•2 months agoWell yeah, because I need to talk to you People have been doing this without problems for decades, why is it a problem now if it wasn’t 10-20 years ago?
minus-square@surewhynotlem@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 months agoWhen better options arise, people can start to dislike the old options. Why do I not like washing dishes by hand? It wasn’t a problem 30 years ago. For example. Now you’ll say it WAS a problem and they invented dishwashers to fix it. And I’ll say they invented texting to fix phone calls.

So then why are calls that bad?
