  • Everyone has different preferences.

    My separate debit card and transport card won’t discharge or just stop working as likely as a phone. It also won’t be suddenly affected by bugs, nor will it get slower. Nor do I get Google also tracking every single payment as well.

    The only disadvantage is compatibility. So many things, and now even some shops use contactless-only terminals, while I got contactless or magnetic payments blocked. Only chip + PIN.
    But anyway, the shop that had to downgrade to contactless only due to increased fees on regular old terminal also started asking people to pay in cash instead, again, due to the fees.









  • There’s an internal dialogue, usually. Might even basically be a copy of someone else. That’s most of my conversations anyway. I am pretty social, it just doesn’t extend far outside my mind. I often re-use bits from these imagined conversations when actually talking with those people, but that usually doesn’t work out.
    One on one conversations are ok-ish, but 3 or more people, are just a mess. Often I get no response. Either I wasn’t heard, or I talked at the wrong time, or whatever else. I’ll wait for minutes for the right moment to say something, and it’s still badly timed, or the conversation has moved on.

    But anyway, I can have fairly rich conversations, even with multiple people inside my mind.
    Also, my thinking works better when walking.

    Imagined sounds, especially music can be enriched with light tapping of teeth, sucking around saliva and rumbling from tensor tympani.
