miscellaneous musings
LeeC:
I don't know why, but its more relatable for me that I'm seeing phones in modern media being on vibrate and not have ring tones (Smiling Friends, Komi Can't Communicate). It feels realistic. I don't know anyone that still uses ring tones. That isn't to say no one does, but in my experience it seems that vibrate only has become the norm.

I have done the “vibrate only” thing for at least fifteen years now. The downside is getting phantom vibrations in my pocket, even when I’m on the phone and it’s in my hand. Also, I am known to miss calls/texts if I’m walking or biking.
Farideh:
I'm about 50/50. My phone is on vibrate when I'm working, but when I'm done (and if I remember) I'll turn the sound back on. My ringtone is the theme from The Mandalorian, I love getting calls 😀
Is it cold in here?:

Funny how those who demand that they be respected, often because of age, relation, or position automatically prove that they’re not worthy of it in the least by making that demand.
