    Thanks for the comment. A sibling comment points out "time theft" which I have also heard regarding an employee not working, so to speak. I can honestly say I did not read economic…

    There was no internet component to moviefone back then. I think you are narrowly defining "dotcom". It was acquired by AOL, which made it a subsidiary of a "dotcom" which entangled…

    Came here to say a similar thing. The reaction can say a lot about the person's opinion/impression of you. It might be too much to try to correct for other people's insecurities; h…

    As a single anecdotal datapoint, I haven't bought a new phone since my iPhone SE, and I got that on an installation plan. I also have not upgraded my OS for quite a while either. U…
