Showed this information to my boomer mother who then asked my also tech illiterate step father what he thought.

“We don’t send sensitive information through texts.”

The ignorance almost physically hurts… Thinking that only the actual message content is important.

Or ignoring the pictures we send and the private things I talk about with my mom.

Do I think that specifically my information would be useful to China? Likely not. But I also have no idea what all is possible with that kind of information in the aggregate.

At the very least, I assume they will use it to manipulate us even more with disinformation.

I generally notice the fruity flavors more but that might just be my palette. I’m not sure how well it works with espresso. Never tried that but now I’m curious

Really opens the flavors in it.

I’ve become the same. I’m now that person seeking out more obscure and underrated gems from anywhere in the 30s through the 90s. I hate the thought of all this cultural collateral damage disappearing forever.
