Yeah, this part makes me the craziest. My brain is my favorite thing about me. Why would I intentionally trade it for a ridiculous substitute?

That’s before I reckon with the ethics of using a thing for ghost efficiency that is pretty societally devastating.

And on a final personal note, I don’t want to become stupid before my time. I really don’t. I will keep mucking about so that I can keep mucking about, for as long as possible.

That’s when you get the time savings! (to a point 😂)

That’s surprising! Get with it Parisians! I believe I was able to tap on the Lyon metro 2 years ago…

No. It’s like magic. You can tap with your card and it automatically charges. Or with the phone (which is how I usually do it) but I guess I have Apple Pay so that is how it works with the phone? 🤷‍♀️ It’s so seamless I’ve never thought about the mechanics…

Oh yeah now it’s all tap with your phone or card!
