  • I'm going to go a different direction and argue that the RS232 has always been the most androgynous and third-sex of the connectors because:

    • the female connector is most frequently the one that's a cable
    • the male connector is most frequently directly connected to an appliance
    • the male has the pin prongs, but is almost always recessed.
    • the female connector has the the prong holes, but almost always juts out.

    Who's connecting to who? Who's the top and who's the bottom? Who wears the pants? No one knows.

  • Sure, my work uses discord, and I know friends that use it. But my family doesn't. Plus, if you do sales, or job searching, or anything that involves talking to people for work who don't directly work for your company then Discord is a little awkward. A phone or zoom call is better.

  • I can see why you'd fear phone calls then. In my family I get a call from my dad about once a week to ask about my day. Usually the family texts more in the mornings, and more phone calls in the evening. Plus for a while I had to pick up the phone anytime someone called for work reasons. You just get used to it after a while.

  • China has a bad ratio of young people to old people. They have a lot of people, but as the population ages there will be fewer working people supporting more retired people. It's not just about money either. There are a finite number of nurses or caretakers in a country at any given time, so it will mean higher ratio of people needing care to those able to give it. It's a complex issue that almost every country is going to be dealing with more in the future, but China will probably feel it more than average.
