For anything I use with any kind of regularity I’d hate it. I already have this problem with services that decide they really need to send me some code by email because they don’t recognize my device (because it’s been more than 30 days and Safari killed their cookies). And then every once in a while the email doesn’t show up for 45 minutes for some reason, leaving me with no recourse.
But for certain things that I need to do say once a year (let’s say renew some kind of registration or insurance) I wouldn’t mind it. Because chances are I already do this because I forgot to save the password in my password manager last time and now I need to do a reset password flow anyway.

And then every once in a while the email doesn’t show up for 45 minutes for some reason, leaving me with no recourse. It's incredible to me how impatient we've become as a society. As everything is given to us faster and faster, with less and less financial cost, the more we demand this of everything going forward. Anything that comes shy of this demand by mere minutes is shunned as unacceptable.
- jhardy54 6y ago> I'm really glad I decided to meditate and learn to be a more patient person. A friendly nudge: google 'spiritual ego trap' and then read this comment again.
- movedx 6y agoI don't believe that's required. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else, I'm simply pointing out that having now slowed down and become more patient, I don't complain when accessing information from the other side of the planet takes 3 minutes instead of 3 seconds. That is what this essentially boils down to: convenience and patience. We're losing the latter because of the former.
- Armisael16 6y agoYou may want to work on your phrasing then, because that was sure the way it came off. You say that culturally we’re a certain way and then that you feel that you’re a better person for being different.
- movedx 6y agoI'll take onboard for next time. Appreciate it.
- greggman3 6y agoI don't get this comment. I've been in plenty of situations where I need something now. Doctors office, DMV, tax office, etc... It's not about being impatient. It's about knowing that it should be instant and it not being instant. If you turned on your water faucet, shower, or flushed your toilet and water didn't run for 45 minutes most people would be shocked.

- vagrantJin 6y agoIn a strange sense, I feel this joke is not too far from reality.
- flemhans 6y agoI access almost all services in private tabs, i.e. cookies are not persisted, and let my password manager do the login.
