Reason #5601

Why I don't mind not having a smartphone.

Because then I don't feel the need to check it/text/whatever while walking down the street, like some of the college students I saw today. What's worse, is a couple of them were doing it while crossing the street.

Oh, wikipedia, you so crazy

Philip Roth is not a reliable enough source, on his own, to correct a wikipedia article on his own work.

And another thing

It used to be that when people felt the need to bicycle on the sidewalks, they were kind enough to say "On your left!" so you wouldn't freak the fuck out when they sped past you. (At least, the non-douchebag cyclists.)

That appears to have gone the way of the dodo.

And if I ever catch that one son of a bitch who was riding a moped down the sidewalk, I will deal with him appropriately.
