2024-08-16 at 4:52 PM UTCI miss how my fingers used to look. Even though they were crooked, I remember how pale and perfect.

2024-08-16 at 4:53 PM UTCI loved my pale skin but I'd have to be anaemic again to achieve it.

2024-08-16 at 4:58 PM UTCFr still wondering. When I was 15 turned in a creative writing story about hiring a hitman off the dark web to murder my mum. Did she ever report me or was I born in a great time?

2024-08-16 at 5:07 PM UTCI think I get it.

2024-08-16 at 5:36 PM UTCI have aristocracy in my ancestry and have noticed American customs infecting people on the internet. It's hard to adjust and I don't want to. E.g, the "simp" slur originated in America and that tells you everything. Only Americans would rebuke you for being decent to women.

2024-08-16 at 5:38 PM UTCI don't belong on the internet because I'm old-fahioned but feel I should set an example.

2024-08-16 at 5:55 PM UTCPros: many, communication wherever you go
Cons: none, you can turn it off if you don't want to communicate. -

Have you considered not carrying a phone anymore?
I love reminiscing about the late 00's and early 10's. -

I agree. My brain is not wired for phones, when I sit in a room with a bunch of people waiting for an appointment I keep my phone in my backpack and stare at the clock or read a magazine.The data revealed that around 9 in 10 (92.3%) internet users access the internet using a mobile phone of some kind. By comparison, 65.6% use the more traditional laptop or desktop. Cellular data traffic has increased quarter-over-quarter since Q1 2017.Jul 25, 2024

Same, except I'm not gay so don't wear a backpack and I spend the time checking out the attractive (if there are any) females in the waiting room -

I stare off into space as well. I don't know where I go. People-watch and try to be present because I so rarely am. -

Play what?
*spends 5 minutes looking for my phone*
it was under the couch cushion shoved in the crack deep. Thank you for reminding me to check my phone or I would have missed that message from my mother all week .
But what games? I have games on my phone but if I have to wait an hour for an appointment or something I cannot play a game. Mobile games suck. I'm not darksydephil who can drop $400 daily on WWE champions 6 star Hogans.I can read a document on my phone like PDF or something, or posting on the forum but once I do that I just put my phone away and don't check it the entire rest of the time. I just sit there like a psychopath.
Even posting on the forum it's like eventually people stop replying and you do a front page flush and oh fuck there's still 30 minutes I will just think about giant robots or ideas for a video games or something -
2024-08-20 at 7:33 PM UTCIt just feels awkward hammering away on some phone but it's just me that feels this way. In a room of 100 people about 90% or more are on their phone and I frequently encounter people using their phones while walking and have to avoid them running into me
