    What’s wrong with giving the spouse a quick call when they’re worried about them? Fuck sharing your location, what kind of dumb shit is this? If anything, sharing your location might actually make them paranoid in the first place, as they might try to interpret things in your movement. The hell is wrong with people? I’ve never heard of this behavior, is this something Americans do?

      I’ll look and see my wife is distant and I’ll shoot her a text and say “Grabbing the kids.” We each work jobs that take us different places every day (her more than me since COVID), and so we aren’t able to rely on some set pattern. I’m able to just see where she is and make a decision. Half the time she’s in the car she’s on the phone for some meeting and so I can’t call. It just makes things easier. I can’t fathom why it upsets you so much, but if you wanna chalk it up to America bad, you do you.

        It might have to do with how much Americans must work and sit in a car every day I guess. I suppose that sort of workflow makes sense. But then I’ll definitely chalk it up to America bad. Thats not a life I’d want to live.

          The US is the most selfconfident, “personally successful so me and my family are fine :)” country about to go into a second great depression on earth.

        Yeah, a call. A method of communication that instantly conveys emotions and information, which you can even use while driving a car! How about that ey?
