> hiding my smartphone from myself. I have shoved my smartphone behind wardrobes and under beds. I have shut it up in cupboards.

> One particularly desperate ... strategy I developed was to kick my phone haphazardly across the room so it would lodge under some unknown piece of furniture

So over privileged people buy $1500 iphones, only to kick them across room, to hide? I do not think reading yet another master piece would help such person!


Whenever I see people doing this kind of thing, I always think “if they were serious, they would downgrade their internet service plan”. Watch how fast the “addiction” leaves them when they’re paying by the MB

I’ve been looking for an MVNO cell phone plan in the U.S. that offers data at a max speed of 512 kbps (or something similar that is fast enough for most legitimate uses, but a little painful), and I haven’t found anything. Seems like an opportunity. However, I can waste plenty of time on sites like this one, and it is functional on a 16 kbps connection.

Articles like this is what you get when you give mics to mentally unstable people. Have no self control; kicks phones...then blames society and writes doomposts.

There is another way to look at it.

As water consumer, I have a right not to trust officials about tap water quality, and buy my own drinking water in plastic bottles!

I use Jackson example, everytime someone pushes "tap water is safe" bs!


You're not simply a consumer. You're a citizen.

I am not US citizen, I am (was) just a visitor (and consumer). I do not care about your local problems!

Jackson gov was happy to poison people to save face and money. Some other people are happy to poison people with chlorine, to save on plastics.

As a consumer, I have a right to choose whatever I feel is safe for me!


Neither am I. But presumably you're a citizen of somewhere. And that place should provide you with safe drinking water.

Yes, my goverment set maximal price on water bottles in street shops, to prevent price gauging.

Making tap water drinkable, while 99% gets used for utilities, is seen as wasteful.
