Two spaces go after a period
I’m more likely to use my computer than my phone unless it’s directly phone-related. And if I can send a text from my computer? Hell yeah
I’m more likely to use an emoticon than an emoji

NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

I started using brackets instead of parentheses when chat programs auto-replaced them with emojis.

I try tapping when I encounter an unfamiliar mobile app interface. I've not been trained to vertically scroll tiktok style when something looks like a complete page.
I snore
Like a few people.commented in this post, I don't use social media
I would say being terrible at using smartphones, but most boomers are probably better at it than me. I'm much better with desktop computers.
I still avoid online dating no matter what. Also, I don't take dick picks. Not that I have any dms that would solicit that anyway, but I also just don't do that. There was a major breach for one of the popular dating platforms recently and similar to that, some dude in OZ land setup an evil twin WiFi at airport and managed to grab a bunch of naked photos from people's online activity. Just don't do it guys. It's not worth it. Just go somewhere ffs and bang someone.
