Have a North American skype number for complicated reasons. So now I get marketing calls at 3:30AM if I forget to mute it. And effin' skype stays active in the background when you try to close it

Easily 95% of my rings are scams. I almost never use my phone as a phone any more.

I can't wait to get mine.  I only use cell phone in car in case I break down.  I got a stupid smart phone now because of token VPN connection working from home.  Can't wait to get a Jitter Bug, can't stand touchscreen and loathe texting.  Oh and get off my lawn!

So glad I still have a flip phone. You know what it is really good for? Getting phone calls.

There comes a time when the how needs to be addressed more than the what.

because the news feeds and algorithms spoon feeds what it / they thinks you need to hear to reinforce whatever beliefs you hold, even the faulty ones.  There are no differing opinions in these feeds, just the ones that reinforce your established thinking patterns.

One becomes so overwhelmed with this A I picked information that they rarely look beyond what is presented to them, and become Sheeple.

@DineshDSouza⁩ take on what the Dems are attempting to do:

“Their strategy IS division”...by “cobbling together a coalition of aggrieved victim groups“ to win in November.
