As someone born on 12/20/1997 i can only imagine the hell people born jan-sept or on the 1st-9th of the month must be in having to remember the leading 0 on various forms and documents and whatnot
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.
BREAKING🚨: This is VERY BRUTAL 🔥
🇮🇱Israeli media: if the 🇺🇸U.S. carries out a ground operation in Iran, it would have to go alone, with Israeli forces not participating on the ground.
🇺🇸Youtuber Ian Carroll: How about if we conduct a ground operation in Israel instead and take their fu*king nukes away and take our fu*king money back?🔥🔥
