I think it is often used as a card handler and less as a way that people pay (as we used to, by connecting it to a bank account or having a balance)

I have an old kindle and I love it. Does everything I need it to. Read books with a backlight, that's it.

PayPal lost a long time ago. It is barely used in the UK now.

Why is it ok to replace -ed at the end of a word with -t in some cases? For example, why are "vexed" and "vext" both acceptable, but "thrilled" and "thrilt" aren't? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Susie Dent mentioned on a radio 4 show that words that maintained the archaic -t ending are usually more commonly used words. Words that are used less lost their -t ending and gained a more generic -ed ending as people were not taught it and used the rule they knew. So words we have like slept, dreamt, smelt are regularly used words day to day.

DAE have trouble knowing whether they like things? (feddit.uk)
 

My girlfriend will look at things eg. Colours, items, clothes, food etc and point out all the things she likes. For me those things just exist and I don't have much of an opinion on them. Like theres 100 paint colours them but they're all fine, how am I meant to know whether any are better than the others.

I am also not known to get visually excited about things, I got a skydive for my 30 birthday and I think everyone was disappointed with my reaction even though inside I was very excited to do it.
