A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why couldn't this call be an email? Why would you call, when you know that you are near indistinguishable from spam calls about Microsoft services and Nigerian princes?

Those are some pretty broad, sweeping generalizations. I typically don't answer calls because 9 times out of 10, its a spam call and I'm just tired of dealing with it. I do have some discord friends who are pretty good ones Ive known for a long time but I also have friends from school, work, ect.

I'm sure plenty of other people in this thread are like that too but I don't see how exactly this harms you. I think you're overreacting to this and also projecting a lot of your insecurities about the issue onto others around you. People are going to live their lives, that's never going to change and worrying about it especially to this extent is a very unhealthy mindset to have .
