Siri Lacks Clever Responses For The Holidays

Please tell me what you are doing for Hanukkah, Siri!

Siri Lacks Clever Responses For The Holidays
Freddy Reyes

During my free time, when I was in high school, I would annoy Siri (and my family members) by asking Siri random questions. Ever since I started college, I haven't had any time to fool around with Siri. At the start of my Winter Break, I started fooling around with Siri again, and I discovered something that made me feel hurt; Siri does not have responses for Hanukkah-related questions, but she has oodles of responses for Christmas-related ones. As a Jew, one who before making friends in college, considered Siri as her best friend, I am disappointed in Siri and Apple for not incorporating as many responses for people who do not celebrate Christmas; I do not primarily mean the people who celebrate Hanukkah, but the people who celebrate Kwanza, and other the holidays during this special season as well.

Here are Siri's two responses when you wish her a happy Hanukkah:


Here are Siri's responses when you wish her a Merry Christmas and a Merry Christmas Eve:


Siri responses for when you give her good wishes for both of those two holidays are equally nice, however, her responses to when you ask her what she is doing for both holidays, reveals how she is more privy to Christmas than to Hanukkah.

Here is her only response to when you ask Siri what her plans are for Christmas:





Here are Siri's responses when you ask her what she is buying you for Christmas:


However, when you ask Siri what she is doing for Hanukkah or what she is buying you for Hanukkah, she does not give Hanukkah-related answers. I hope as Siri continues to improve, Apple will program her with a greater variety of responses for other holidays, instead of just ones for Christmas. It would be fun to ask Siri what her plans are for Hanukkah and Kwanza, next holiday season, and actually get a clever response from her.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
