   everytime i get one of these goddamn notifications from a website telling me that it wants to send me notifications and the only two opions i get are "allow notifications" and "not now." i don't know why they'd just ASSUME that i wouldn't want to "hurt the websites feelings" by "letting it down softly" like "maybe one day we will grow closer and i will allow notifications" is ever really going to fucking happen.

   Some people like notifications on their phone from facebook, news sites, etc. Not even human interactions. Which seems to me to be incredibly sad.
