Men, proudly drag that battered and cracked android phone out on the first date, it’s a litmus test for shallow people, apparently.

I went on a first date with a girl I met from work. She farted loud enough to be heard over drunken yelling and music in the steakhouse we were in, immediately after saying “I don’t get embarassed”.

In a couple of weeks, we will have been together for 16 years. We’ve been married for 14 years. We cook together every evening, we hold each other whenever we are in the same room for more than five minutes, and on the rare nights where we aren’t taking each other’s clothes off, we fall asleep wrapped around each other. I would have missed out on a perfect relationship if I had judged her for a phone.

You’re probably right. I was comparing it to Factorio.

My wife and I cared for her grandmother in her final years. This old woman learned to hand the phone to me when it was a scammer because I’d hassle them with whatever persona I wanted to use that day. I’m no Kitboga but she thought it was funny. And nobody got any money from her.

It seemed like they would try to get some small amount from her at first - like $250. She got caught out by it once, where she paid them the small amount, then they would come back “needing” a larger (five-figure) amount.
