When you ban porn on your massively popular site for porn & drive off a massive segment of your userbase epic style

Damn, there'd be quite a lot less millionaires and billionaires in the world if that was the case, lmao.

of course? I don't see how attacking me correlates to the original question though.

I actually grew up homeless for quite a few years, and there were plenty of hungry nights & if it wasn't due to living in a 1st world nation I probably wouldn't be here now. It's not exactly the same but at least I know a similar struggle.

Sounds useful, albeit probably spyware ridden but what isnt these days eh?

I might look into using that for at least google's services.

Well, to be honest I had no idea that cheap phones like that existed.

Besides costs though the main reason I dont decide to get a phone is just due to all the data collection they do, plus nearly every service and government/housing/job related thing connected to me uses the family phone #, switching them over would take hours if not days of calling, settings editing or paperwork to do.

I already pay for my family's house, food and utilities so I don't really see why its an issue to borrow the family's # every now and then.

Depends on what standard of living you desire and where you are- If you want to live as a hobo then as long as you survive your basic biological needs you could go indefinitely without internet, the same is true of any outsdoorsman who lives in a remote area where they can survive just based on their ability to hunt and collect water.

Eh, I assure you the burden of buying a brand new 500~1000$ phone and then paying a monthly bill to provide it with service would be a far far greater burden then allowing me to use their phone to make important calls once a week if not less, and letting me use it to sign up to a site/video game maybe a couple times a year.
