A feature phone still mostly works, if you really want to test yourself do what I did a few years back and switch to a satphone when Globalstar's network was all kinds of lovely.

Having to lug around actual paper printouts of when the satellites are going to be in sight? Check.
Having to use a watch to clock down how much of the current 3 minute connectivity window is left? Check.
Waiting hours on end to move a file at 9.6kbps burst speeds? Check.

i have just never switched to a smartphone, and it's pretty good.

whenever studies come out about the addictiveness of this behavior, and how it rewires (especially the adolescent) brain, this will probably sound like "heroin addicts should just exert some self control and only do heroin like once a day"

you probably know lots of people like myself who are daily smartphone users but aren't addicted to them

I honestly can't say the same about daily heroin users

Doubtful. A one bedroom apartment anywhere in the bay area for $1300 is not at all uncommon. A house for that much is unheard of.

I'd think that, but she specifically says that she lives in the suburbs. Unless the meaning of that word has shifted away from boxy houses outside the city, or I've been wrong all this time, that seems not to be the case

Suburbs have apartment buildings. The word suburbs refers to location, not dwelling type. It means a primarily residential area on the outskirts of a city.

The girl allocated her money in a really stupid way and blamed her employer for her own poor budgeting and lied about how bad her situation was but I promise you she is not renting a whole house in the bay area for 1300 dollars a month. The only way to have a deal like that is through a family hookup.

Fair enough. I'll take your word for it.

Still, given everything else you can't dismiss the possibility you are putting forward. It would make a whole lot of sense given everything else (entitled, annoyed at having to work for a living...etc).

By living an interesting life that grabs your attention way more than a cat video ever could. Too bad vacation is two weeks a year and it's too expensive to go out cause you put all your savings into an empty house and low tier internet package since a goon told you that was the smart investment.

I just bought a really solidly-built pair of leather Chuck Taylors that have gummed rubber soles. They're basically like work boots except Converse-branded with the design of a pair of Chuck Taylors.

Plus they're leather which is like kryptonite to vegan hipsters.

This is a good representation of the acoustic side of the music that crust punks make (folk punk).

There's also the electric side (crust punk). One example:

In my experience with crust punks, these are literally the only two genres of music that crust punks ever listen to.

A millenial.

Growing up, "triggered" was something that would set a mentally retarded person off.

Like at school, we would be given actual "trigger warnings". I remember one kid would attack you if you made fun of superman, and another would fly into a rage if you taunted him with the word "candy".


When did society decide we have to treat everyone under 30ish as if the were retarded? I think it's a great idea, but just wondering when it went into effect. 2005-ish, I'm thinking?

I graduated in 2005 so I guess I dodged that bullet. one of my fondest HS memories was throwing gum nuts at the kid with pigeon toes but I doubt you could get away with that nowadays
