The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I have an Apple smartphone but feel like I am the last of my peer group to not have a Netflix subscription nor Amazon Prime membership!

Illusions, sorry. If you are in your twenties, you might be right. Otherwise I probably beat you. I have a smartphone, but that doesn't count, as I only have one because my father one day gave me one with the words: "Son, you are a computer geek. You must have a smartphone. Here." and I could not not refuse his gift.

Otherwise not only no Netflix, Prime or whatever, but also not that invention of the devil which is called 'social media' or so. When people ask me to communicate with me via tell me Whatsapp I reply "What App? My App is called 'Email' ".

P. S.: I am a Pacifist (I think). Otherwise with access to a time machine I would go back and kill Steve Jobs to at least delay that devilish invention which causes everybody to walk around looking down and/or talking to invisible ghosts.

P.P.S.: A friend told me his son and that son's girlfriend communicate via their smartphones even when they are not far apart and could easily meet physically. I wonder what that means for the continuation of the human race as that requires certain activities which are quite difficult to do remotely.
