I prepped a comparison of two phone plans where one had a higher base fee and lower per minute fee than the other to teach linear functions and systems of equations. It took way too long to explain what I was on about. Mistakes were made. They also didn't believe how much time we used to spend talking on the phone.

Swap talk minutes with data plan.

Most people have unlimited data here

We're on the internet. Where is "here"?

Where I'm at, where this story occurred

Ah, of course, thank you for clarifying.

Swap it with a comparison of Uber and Lyft base rate+mile charges and I bet they'd understand.

Lol, how long ago was that? Kids these days talk just as much, just not via a phone call. Discord is just how it happens. I figure if you put it into the context of a cellular data plan it might work out better, but even then a lot of those are "unlimited" now

That was two weeks ago lmao

I guess these kids just didn't? They text instead.
