I think I have the opposite of whatever Steve Jobs had because I hate touch screens. I miss the feeling of a real *click* in cars to eject a cd and the tactile sensation of dialing numbers etc. flicking switches and turning dials needs to make a comeback.

i have an air fryer with a touchscreen or those buttons within a screen and i hate it. half the time the buttons don't work, no matter how much or how little pressure you put on it. and when my hands are wet or sweaty, what even is the point in trying. whoever decided that everything needed to be touchscreen is the worst. manufacturers need to bring back actual tactile buttons, preferably slightly squishy ones or the ones with a clickety clack sound. sincerely, a girl with sweaty fingers and very little patience for faulty haptics.

i miss weird phones as much as anybody but honestly i think phones are too much of a solved technology at this point. the touchscreen was the best thing to happen to software and the worst thing to happen to hardware. it also doesn't help that there are fewer manufacturers now and they have more of an incentive than ever to keep making more boring, more expensive designs with higher margins.
at least some of the new folding/bending ones are sort of cool but there's only so far they can go.

Back to basics if you need a detox, strictly limited to calls and texts. Way more durable, easier to fit in your pocket. Much more aesthetically pleasing and cool than iphone or android.
Should be at the forefront the same way vinyls are back on the menu.

Sometimes you can just exist. you don’t (hopefully) need 50 hustles. You don’t need to be a writer and musician and artist and podcaster and influencer and girlboss or whatever. you don’t even need to signal how cool or smart or attractive you are. I know it’s hard cause I think our society incentives (forces?) people to be “on” all the time, but it’s probably better for your own sake to just exist for yourself and your love ones and to adjust your expectations of what a successful or meaningful life is.
Sorry for being pedantic, just know a lot of friends and family my age or younger that seem to be struggling right now in all sorts of ways. Just know, regardless of what anyone says or even what you say or do, that you guys have inherent dignity and you are worth something

Eat yogurt, kimchi/sauerkraut, miso, kefir, kombucha, pickles, certain soft cheeses cause they’re good for you
I never had a problem shitting I just like funky foods and pretending my gut is a nightclub where all the bacteria are dancing and having a good time like it’s osmosis jones or something
