Man, I used to love using Siri, until I had a daughter and named her "Sarah"

big mistake. Turns out I say "Hey Sarah" a hundred times a day, and all my iDevices pipe up and simultaneously say "Yeah?" "WHAT'S UP" "HEY OVER HERE" "Hi it's me Siri what do you need?"



Why did you pick 'Sarah'

Late every night I cry and scream while asking myself this same question, surrounded by my iPhone, Apple Watch, 3 iPads, MacBook Pro, and Mac Studio

How could I have been such a fool!???


Keeping true to your username?

In case you are earnestly somehow unaware, Sarah is among the most popular feminine given names of all time, with Hebrew origin but also popular with Christians, Muslims, nonreligious people in areas influenced by those religions, and in just about every country and culture influenced by any of those. It's hard to even think of a culture which doesn't use the name Sarah in some form; I'm drawing a complete blank; where are you from? Alpha Centauri?
