does anyone else here constantly miss life before smartphones?
>everything felt more stress free >remember just going to friends doors and knocking and hanging out >women didnt have their face in snapchat and tinder all day long >people actually had to talk and hang out instead of just having their face in a cellphone all day >people had to actually learn hobbies, do things, and think about stuff instead of just staring into the void >people are constantly stressed out now comparing each other over social media >you could have a night out and not have to worry about doing something stupid and having it recorded and uploaded to youtube or instagram >every girl i see now looks soulless and covered in clown makeup >you didnt have to worry about posting stupid shit on social media when you get drunk >people were more unique, had hobbies, more personality >no one cares about social media shit and current thing now >everyone has a non stop urge to take selfies for social media and post stupid shit
Everyone a camera the smartphone is a problem even without social media
James Lewis
yes!
- be me a decade + 2 years ago - go outside hang out in the park with frens. - there are girls there (not anymore these days). - actually had 2 gfs from that park over the course of 3 years. - it was always fun in the park sometimes we smoked the weed, we played football, the girls watched. we entertained eachother - it was fun going to the park always. - I don't think I even had a cellphone yet. or it was the NOKIA 3310. - we went out to the lake and had great fun swimming and hanging out with da girls.
**fastforward to now adays**
no girls in the park limited amount of girls at the lake and they are always with BF or they are completely consumed by their phone getting a new gf is hard now the below average Stacy thinks she deserves a chad. i've been single for 5 years and nosex for 5 years. most girls are absolutely horrible and will destroy you so I'm even scared sometimes to try having a relationship and even just sex.
But I'm now in the process of getting together with a Mexican girl. though without smartphone I wouldnt have met her. she loves me and she's actually sane and such, pleasant attitude, listens, understands. smart too,. weird to find these days.
thanks snapchat, facebook,instagram, cellphones and ... .uh ... absolute degenerate behaviour. freedom has its price. i'm going to move away from this shithole. put my mexican gf on a homestead , make 5 kids with her. try to isolate our family from the madness of the world.
tinder absolutely destroyed everything here in the west.
all the shit you ranted is caused by social media not smartphones. camera is just a device to chronicle memories

Just take away social media and phone cameras and things will improve drastically.
Matthew Diaz
You can do all that by having real friends and not buying (or just shutting off) the smartphone. If you cannot even do that, then you should consider your own agency.

I can say that I really appreciate when I do jogging because I never bring devices id and cards with me.
Camden Nelson
IDK, but maybe you got old?

If everyone has a camera, there is no privacy
Xavier Wilson
I can't make a mistake and get attacked without it being recorded and shared on social networks even if I don't have a smartphone
Jeremiah Adams
I don’t have an issue with the device. The problem is that they are nothing more than surveillance devices tracking everything.
Dominic Perry
Old enough to have had my first real job out of college before the first iPhone came out. Was on a project with eight people and we went out to lunch every day. Before smartphones: >everyone talking, socializing >laughing, joking After smartphones: >everyone at the table quietly finger-fucking phones >not a word said for ten minutes at a time

The silver lining is niggers especially fat ones are more likely to be inside and not bothering people. Especially in the morning
Owen Allen
I like smartphones. It reminds me off the tricorders from Star Trek. And thats the way how I use it.
>switch from smart phone to fliph phone >this lasts 1.5 years~ >decide to go back to iphone >at the same time it partially causes me to lose my nocoom streak of 4 months >waste hella hours on instagram reels/youtube shorts >sell the iphone for a major loss >go back to the same flip phone
I only use my smartphone to post on Any Forums and to listen mp3 while walking.
All notifications disabled.
Also, no more SIM. I use a CallApp

>*turn off smartphone* >*try to have real life friends* >*everyone is glued to their smartphones*
Nolan Martin
these 'people' are all smartphone addicts. watch as they passionately defend their propaganda rectangles
its like living in a nation of heroin addicts and suggesting to people that maybe their lives are garbage because of heroin > nooo its le social media, le government le jews le womens fault!!!

State mandated "dumbphones" with limited Internet applications like WhatsApp, bus times etc. with hardware limits simply not supporting instas and Snapchat.
In order to have a smartphone loicense you'd have to pass an IQ test, impulse control test and potential for or being employed where smartphone is a work tool to limit the damage it can cause.
fuck muh freedom. fuck liberalism. There is only cattle, good shepherds caring for the herd, its future and health and vile shepherds who look to exploit the cattle for short term gains or strictly their own benefit in the long term.

>you could have a night out and not have to worry about doing something stupid and having it recorded and uploaded to youtube or instagram This. This right here is what I fucking hate the most. Not only do I have to act boring all the time, but I have to have my guard up, even around friends. I can't even SAY anything out of line on a night out without risking my job.
