I remember this article… He went for a hike and didn’t tell his roommates when he would be back. He didn’t answer their calls (I’m assuming he needed some time alone), and was gone for more than 24 hours so they reported him missing. He just wanted some time away from his roommates and they put him the the national news.
Because of capitlaism everything has to be ground into the finest point with the sharpest edge to make money. So the ability to talk to anyone on earth whenever you want has been reduced from a marvel scifi authors used to dream about to its current state were is an annoyance used to make your life worse whenever possible. It would be trivially easy to make like just a little bit better but that isn’t good for the gdp so people in risk of death can only assume the system is out to harm them
It has nothing to do with social fear, every fucking call on my personal and work phone is a scam.
Get that shit under control and then maybe I’ll answer my cell phone once in awhile lol
Though if I was really lost I think I’d be answering every call tbh.
If you live in a supported country, (but only US have the automatic screening feature) I suggest getting a Pixel phone and use the call screening features.

I’m currently using a Samsung phone and it has a similar feature but the screening can only be done manually and Bixby’s voice is miles behind Google Assistant’s.
if you want me to actually respond to you, leave a message. doesn’t everybody know this at this point?

Yeah, the problem is i would have them in contacts listed under " rescue me!" And they’d call me from a number that’s not the one they gave me.
A lot of places call customers from some completely random numbers, not the official one. Very annoying.
