I first found out I have aphantasia and anendophasia

So if you don’t think in words and also not in images… How do you think? I’m curious because I can’t imagine thinking without either of those.

This would never happen to me

quite well. thanks for asking!

11 times out of 10, if you guess the other person is not who they claim to be online, you guess wrong!!!

Still?

In the EU yes and no. Most mobile internet plans here include unlimited SMS and phone calls as well. At least I know very few people who choose to have plans that include ONLY internet and those plans tend to be only marginally cheaper. However, the unlimited SMS and phonecalls (for most plans) only apply for messaging inside the EU. So if you regularly message friends outside EU you again either pay per SMS/call or have to get a more expansive plan that also includes that.

So overall it’s the most convenient (and mostly cheapest) to do all messaging and calls over mobile data or WiFi

This is not porn. Why should it not be allowed?

Also: There is porn on lemmy.

The placement directly under the clock suggests that its always time to eat.

Okay I get that. However, I feel like this has nothing to do with the original issue. If I only ever receive “requests and demands” from someone it would not make it any better if they beforehand say “hey, do you have time for a quick question” every time.

Of course I also text about other topics. Of course I ask how they are doing and chat about stuff. But when I have I question I simply ask that question.

I’d hate to be treated that way. Ofc it’s fine if this is the social norm for you and people around you.

[…] , are both is service of avoiding putting pressure on them.

All you’re avoiding is going to the concert with your friend.

Just curious: Would you consider it rude if someone else sends you a text with a straightforward request? Or do you just feel like it could be perceived as rude when you do it?

Here’s what would piss me of the most:

“Hey, I got a question. Do you have time to talk?”

Me not knowing what this is about or how long it would take to answer this mysterious question of yours: “not right now, gonna text you in the evening”

Me (later): “So what was your question?”

“I wanted to go to that concert on Friday. But now all of the tickets are gone and I’m going alone, lmao”

I HAD enough time to answer a simple yes/no question. I hate it when people ask if I have time to text. At least give me a fucking hint like “hey I got a short question: its about the concert on Friday”. Asking if one has time to text causes the most social friction IMO but the least visible friction (to you).

Today I’m “working” on my masters thesis. As of now I have not done anything meaningful besides browsing lemmy and customizing my arch/niri configuration on my laptop: Why does the right-click menu “open with” in dolphin not show any suggested programs? It does when I log into Plasma.

Anyway, I hope I’m gonna be more productive after lunch.
