I mean, I was, it can be hard to tell! Now that I’ve seen your post history, you definitely seem mote human though. It errored out earlier for me and with just that one post to go by I wasn’t sure.
I’d still be doing it today, but after my wife got pregnant she told me I had to get a phone.
Funny thing, the very night I activated it I had a blowout on the side of the road and called her so I could yank the spare from the back of her vehicle and get home.
We both drove near identical jeeps at the time and I was already on my spare.
Of course I got the whole, “SEE! You’d be waiting on me to miss you and come out looking for you if you didn’t get this phone!”
I hate having a phone to this day. I really wish I could just vanish completely from everyone from time to time.
I found a spot at the lake near me that has no service recently, so I’m going to pretend to go fishing this summer and just go sit there.
I am more and more convinced every day that I’m not neurotypical. My mother said to me on Sunday, “oh lord, the way you think. You’ve always had the same brain and I’d tell you to take things a different way and your grandma would say, “leave that baby alone. He’s just creative. Let him be weird.””
Well, I have been diagnosed with both ADHD & Aspergers Syndrome, but that does not make me “not right”, only not “normal”. I just own it nowadays and that works out.
Also a lot of people are starting to realize that excessive smart phone use is actually really bad for people’s mental health, not just on an individual level as well. It’s kinda like having full package cable with 1mil channels at all times, each channel manufactured for a certain type of person so that the TV execs can keep making a profit from people watching their content and ads, all while influencing their minds with all sorts of made up worldviews, real or not. And you, my friend, were free from that.
Also growing up lower middle class, parents wouldn’t pay for it so I used Google voice on an iPod touch until I was making enough to afford my own plan.
I still have the old link to my voip app, which I started using in 2008/09 with USB hardware plugged into my computer. I still have that hardware but I doubt it works. I also still have an email full of voicemails up until I stopped paying for it, which it turns out was 2020, not 2019.
Is this an AI post?
Doesn’t read like it to me
Thank you. I don’t think I’ve ever been more insulted haha.
Are you even remotely serious?

You really had me going until this part
That’s just a 'tism thing, having creative ways to dodge the status quo way of normal tech use b/c of some principal or something.

I’m definitely not right.

I know someone that still, to this day, uses a T9 flip phone. Not even android. Like the kind we all had in 2005.
that’s based as fuck. but how do they live without maps?
