I guess the main reason I got a dumbphone was to feel MORE connected to other people and society, not less. I don't think that owning a dumb phone is really comparable to living in a cabin by yourself in the woods surrounded by nothing

You get what you pay for. Any of the "rugged" phones like my Kyocera should last a lifetime. I used this website to find it https://josebriones.org/dumbphone-finder

I have a Kyocera DuraXE 4G LTE. It cost me $250 Canadian, bought it off of Ebay. There are more phones like this.

it's a pretty normal and established occurrence I'd Say. I don't know if most people do that, but yes one way to rationalize or reassure yourself that what you are doing is safe is to look around at the wider group and see if

SO true, and if you are a few minutes late with the meal the servers all start whining about "their" tips.

by hydrok9 3y ago
that's fantastic. in Manitoba tips are legally the property of the store owner and they do not have to share them at all if they don't want to.

that's true. Villenueve’s Dune did nothing for me though. i don’t consider it a “good” movie.

I agreed with his review on the basis of movie making, not it's adherence to the canon or the novel. I'm a huge fan of the books and sci-fi and this movie was obviously a thinly veiled attempt at marvelizing as if it was some kind

someone else pointed out that “Rohan” was a noble house of Celtic Brittany, were horse lords, and traced ancestry to a “Meriadoc.”

I think it's just him highlighting the rarity and value of something that would otherwise never be accessible to them. In the middle ages would an extremely high-end suit of armour cost less than a village? I don't know, but rarit
