Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.
- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.
- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.
- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."
- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.
Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.
@frankmikesmith Yo! Right idea. But this looks clunky. It has the url like maptap which is great but then the clickable link thing at the top. Not good for group chats.
You honor Christ at your job by:

• Avoiding all forms of gossip
Took the Model Y for a test drive last night with my wife and 3 kids who all need car seats. Loved FSD so much! So unfortunate to how small it was. Doesn't make sense for us. Really need a Tesla van/full size SUV soon.
@summoningsalt Hello, I am a 33yo father of 3 and you are my 🐐. We ride or die summoning salt. Can I order a VHS of this video I just watched? Thank you.
