My phone upgraded and I can't handle the interface change cos I HATE CHANGE. It's bad for typical but really bad for me.

Anyone want to share theirs?

I think I ask myself too many questions about social rules. Such as "why are clothing gendered", or " why do some things belong to one person, and so other people can't take it despite no harm being done", or "why do we obey laws even though we find them unjust".

I think people don't ask enough questions about societal rules to be fair. Also the reason to obey law that you don't find just is the fear of consequences?
