I really miss the rear fingerprint reader on my Galaxy S8. It was so effortless to pick it up and touch the sensor at the same time whenever I wanted to use my phone. Honestly, I miss the retina scanner as well. It always worked better and faster for me than the face thing that most phones have.

Born Twice. It's the autobiography of a Green Beret fighting in the US military's most highly-decorated unit of all time, MACV-SOG. He read the audiobook himself, so if you go that route, it has a "Grandpa telling you stories" vibe to it, except that you're an adult now and he doesn't have to hold anything back anymore.
I nuke Moscow. Can't fall out a window if there are no windows!
A lot of people simply don't because they can't. It's absurdly expensive because the system isn't designed for people to pay for it out of pocket. If someone doesn't have insurance, they'll either beg the hospital for mercy or ignore the medical debt because it doesn't count against your credit score. Even if they do have insurance, it often doesn't cover a portion of the cost, the insurance is extremely expensive, or both. The people with quality insurance through their employer have it good, but the system expects everyone to have that privilege.
Oh, I do know it. I'm just saying why it happens. It's a very hard hole to crawl out of.
It's the same reason people use porn, but for emotional fulfillment instead.
I used to believe I had developed an inter-universe, romantic, quasi-religious relationship with an anime girl (I will not say who). That ended not long after I started taking meds. Recently the delusion has started to come back on the occasions I need to change meds and I'm without them for a while. Instead of being fulfilling and joyous, though, it's infuriating and shameful.
Permanent sanity.
I had my Sonata stolen last year. The problem is that, by default, there was neither a key checker nor a steering immobilizer built into the vehicles. These are industry standard features for every car manufacturer... Except Kia and Hyundai. These are required features in every car sold in every Western nation... Except the United States. To have excluded this literal 90s tech from their vehicles when they're so common that no one would ever stop to think about whether their car has them constitutes a serious lie by omission on the part of Kia and Hyundai, in my opinion. If I knew that all you had to do was rip off the ignition and shove something onto a peg to screw off with the car, I would have told the dealer to stick it up his butt.
For those wondering: I had comprehensive insurance, so I was paid the full value of the vehicle after it was totaled. I bought a Toyota Camry with the money and it's a great car. I am never buying Kia or Hyundai cars again and I recommend everyone else avoid them from here on out. Like, if this is what they're willing to do to save $30 per assembled vehicle, what else might be lurking in their newer vehicles that we won't know about until it's too late?
Those zero-interest payment plans will friggin kill you.
I trust my body to tell me that something's wrong. If my butt is giving me warning signs, I darn well better listen.
