    I am still on a flip phone. It is usually silent, and I don’t spend much time with it at all. While I am missing out on discounts and such, I simply hate the idea of constantly using a phone. Email is my telecommunication of choice, but receptionists don’t understand the idea, unfortunately.

    My household bought a Rinnai water heater, and the bastard needed a phone to set the temperature. Thing is, it couldn’t communicate with the two or three phones that were used on it. Fortunately, there was an old-school modification for a physical keypad, but that had to be bought separately.

    Phones are just not my thing.

      Smartphones are objectively better than flip phones.

      The flip phone praise comes from useful idiots looking up to children who lack self-control.

      It’s all bass-ackwards, but that’s how far we’ve strayed from the truth.

      The powers that be are happy, though. We’re just not one of them.
