Jim:
Julia, hey.
Julia:
Jim. Are you here for Sunday brunch?
Jim:
No, I'm here to see you.
Julia:
What? How did you know I was here?
Jim:
What do you mean, how? Duh.
Julia:
Duh, what? What am I looking at?
Jim:
Oh, family sharing. That blinking green dot, that's you.
Julia:
You're tracking me?
Jim:
No. No, I don't have to track you. You're sharing your location with me. I just have to look at my phone. Again, the blinking green dot...
Julia:
I know what the blinking dot is, Jim. But tracking me is not the intended use of that application.
Jim:
It's entirely the intended use of that application. You share your location with your family so your family knows your location.
Julia:
You and I are now ex-family.
Jim:
Tell that to your phone. You're the one who opted into the sharing.
Julia:
When we were married.
Jim:
And just like we opted out of that, you gotta opt out of this, but that's not important.
Julia:
Yes, it is. As of this moment, I am opting out of the family tracking. I am opting. I am scrolling. I am searching. I am... God, where the hell is it?
Jim:
Go to Settings.
Julia:
I'm under Settings.
Jim:
Okay. Take a deep breath.
Julia:
Don't tell me how to breathe. There! I am no longer sharing my location. I am no longer a blinking dot. I am a no dot. I have disappeared.
Jim:
I can still see you.
Julia:
You can't just track me down in person anymore, Jim. We gotta reboot our boundaries conversation.
Jim:
OK. I am sorry that I used the quite common, quite useful family-sharing feature that was invented so that when people are kidnapped, they can be rescued. But I guess you would rather don some magical cloak of invisibility so that you can vanish without a trace whenever somebody close to you needs you. Noted.
