    I mean, all the phones I’ve ever had (including my current Samsung A52 from a couple years back) have a headphone jack, but I haven’t used anything wired in around 6 years.

    I just find Bluetooth to be much more convenient and a nicer experience. I even bought a Bluetooth adapter for my desktop so I could use the same headphones there.

    Not to mention, I just looked and there are plenty of phones with 3.5 mm jacks on the market, so it looks like the option is still out there for those that prioritize such a feature.




  • It’s mostly the “hobby” bit, which implies that this is one of your favorite, regular free-time activities. If you are someone who smokes weed a few times a year in social situations, that is a different situation.

    A lot of people would find it difficult to be around someone who spends their time smoking unless they are really into it too. The smell especially can be really grating/annoying, and the person smoking often doesn’t realize because they have become smell-blind over time (similar to tobacco smokers).

    It can vary depending on the context, but essentially it just means that you can only read/write at a fairly basic level.

    For instance, imagine someone who reads at a 4th grade reading level. They can get through basic aspects of life, but get totally lost/overwhelmed if they are presented with anything more complex. For instance, they wouldn’t be able to comprehend most official letters. (Thus is especially an issue in Germany since Amtsdeutsch seemingly tries to be intentionally complex…)

    They are effectively locked out of most modern jobs, because they can’t parse emails effectively or formulate a fitting reply.

    It’s also something that people are generally very self-conscious about and get pretty good at hiding.
