fuck it i’m back on wired headphones. I’ll untangle them daily, I’ll clothesline a toddler, I don’t care. I just can’t worry about another fucking battery.
I tried superhuman and honestly it’s not worth $30/mo to me. You can just pay me $30 once and I’ll teach you got to use your gmail hotkeys and set up some filters.
