I never answer unless I recognize the caller. If it is important they can leave a voice mail.
On the plus side I no longer get the weekly call from the Chinese lady.

These are maggots that get laid in your skin specifically. Look up “bot flies”
Fungi do most of the rotting anyway.
Seagulls are fine, it is people who leave trash out that create the problem
Ticks and botflies. We don’t need maggots making a home in our skin. Even worse is what they do to animals like sheep.
Mosquitos are mainly an annoyance to me and I can deal with them.
When you are the victim of a loot ninja
God I wish that was the case
Anything that blocks wordle posts would be welcome
Do you expect them to jeopardize their bonuses by spending money on human beings to support customers? Then you’ll probably want them to keep them employed for more than a few months so they can actually become good at their jobs and familiar with the products.
Right up there with customer service lines that just have menus of canned responses that don’t address your need. No, I don’t need to hear your hours, I don’t need to know where you are, I can find all of that online. I need to talk to a human being.
Every generation thinks they are special or have it the hardest

Fellow Xer here. My optometrist fitted me for my first pair of glasses for reading and said “welcome to your 40s”. I keep a cheap pair in every room and the nice prescription ones in my home/work offices.

You need to arm 100 guys? 100 spears is a lot cheaper and easier to train than 100 swords.
Your brain deliberately forgets trivial stuff. Do you really need to remember every lunch you had? Same goes for all the mundane stuff in history.
On the other hand so little of the mundane stuff was recorded that when we do see it it can be a window into how people actually lived, like Samuel Pepys diary. The daily stuff was so accepted as boring and common knowledge that it wasn’t considered worth recording.
And interest rates were a lot higher back then. No one had it “easy”
