This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

NGL if you have a flip phone now, you're either a contract killer, a drug dealer and or a stage 5 weirdo.
This is just judgemental and stupid. If you are easily distracted not using a smartphone outside business hours is hugely beneficial.
I use a lumia 550, but REALLY I would prefer an old school phone like the w800i, but a good k750/w800/k800 is rare and expensive at this point and pretty likely to fail. (I have 2g here). So the lumia it is.
I mean this depends on your viewpoint. Yes it is my off-hours daily. (I have to have a smartphone when working)
It can:
So it basically does what my w800i does, but in a way newer phone. In my view it does everything a modern device does, except for all the doomscrolly bits.
So yeah, if you need a weekend phone, picking up a lumia makes a whole lot of sense in my view.
Friend of mine bought her first smart phone about a year ago. She just didn't need any of the functions on a smartphone and was happier with her flip phone: pretty much infinite battery, near indestructible, does communicate just ok.
Only reason she bought a smart phone is to download some group chat clients. Since she broke up with her BF, we additionally had to write her on SMS. So she made it a bit easier for us.
Or an old person. My grandparents have flip phones lol
Old people are de-facto stage five weirdos.
I've seen doctors use them as work phone, like a modern pager.
Yeah and they dispense drugs.
I miss the Nokia 3310's tramadol dispenser, man
they use it not to get distracted by work, anon isn't like that.
No, they use them because the battery lasts for ages and they're very reliable. They still have modern smartphones for personal use. And nothing wrong with that, the main use for a phone should be communicating with others, if Anon can get away with only SMS and regular calls, good for him.
Or maybe just broke, but then it's a little odd to by pursuing more than a 2 year degree without a stable living situation.
I only bought a smartphone because I was getting into the HVAC field and I wanted to have access to the Internet to help with diagnostics, if it wasn't for that job I might still just have an old flip phone lol
Or you wanna get away from the distractions of modern smartphones.
Because phone bad.
