I have a question for people who use a flip phone as their main phone

I work front desk hotel by myself. I have to frequently send detailed text messages to my supervisor. I tried to use my Nokia 2780 at work, but even with predictive text it was so tedious. Does anyone successfully use a flip phone at work with the same situation as mine? Do you end up getting better and better at texting to the point you no longer have to think about it? Thanks!

Vitamin D deficiency and Tinnitus

I already have tinnitus. It got so bad that it was drowning out everything around me. I have vitamin D deficiency, but I've been negligent in getting enough sunshine and had stopped taking my supplements months ago. The other day I took 5000 iu. And my tinnitus was significantly lessened the next day. Was this just coincidence? Or can vitamin D deficiency cause ringing in the ears? Thanks!

Rao's Meatballs

6.5/10. They basically taste like giant versions of frozen dinner swedish meatballs. I like those so I think these are pretty decent, too. But they're no where near what they probably serve at Rao's restaurant (I'd be surprised if these were the same 😅).

About ready to blow my fucking brains out

It's gotten so bad it's drowning out everything. Minute after minute, day after day, month after month. My friend gets SSI and Medi-Cal and said he was getting his hearing tested (just part of his annual exam). I told him how bad my tinnitus was and he said "Shut the fuck up man! I'm about to get my hearing tested!".

I wish I could get some help, but my ACA doubled from 200 to 400 per month (I just work from desk hotel), so I dropped to the shitty insurance that doesn't cover anything until I spend 7200 on top of the 200 per month I already pay. I don't know how much longer I can handle this. 😞

Claussens taste like you're chewing on a bay leaf

How is this acceptable? I hope they go out of business if they don't change back to their original quality.

The search function suddenly sucks

Searching for specific movie titles and they're not coming up at all anymore. If I go into the actual movie apps (or maybe if I search an actor) they'll come up, but not coming up in the Roku sesrch anymore.

Has buying a Mudita actually helped you?

I can't help from compulsively clicking in Reddit, YouTube etc. I was thinking about getting a Mudita. But I still need to keep my smartphone for certain things. Thanks!

I get so angry that I have to pay attention to my phone constantly

Even if I can manage to stay off YouTube, Reddit etc, I have to keep checking it while I'm at work to see if I got a text from my supervisor or whatever. Even if it's texting friends back and forth on my day off it still sucks. The memory of my day is constantly having to look at my little rectangular device. I wish I had the option not to use it at all. I almost feel like turning it off and saying I don't give a fuck anymore.

Why is it so hard to use my smartphone like a minimalist phone?

I can't help myself from compulsively going on Reddit, YouTube, Chrome browser and even clicking on my bank and credit card apps. I bought a Nokia 2780 flip phone a while back, but it doesn't work for me because I need to constantly text my supervisor at work (front desk hotel). I tried Olauncher, but I just keep over-riding everything.

Was thinking about trying a Mudita Kompact, but don't know how well it will work with Verizon and don't know if it will have issues texting. Plus it's kind of expensive.

Are there any Android phones that let you actually uninstall YouTube and Chrome?

I have a Google Pixel. It only lets me deactivate them. Are there any that let you fully uninstall them? Thanks!

"You need to do your part. Only use energy efficient electronics and appliances and conserve water".

And now they're putting data centers up everywhere that nobody wants. Fucking hypocrisy and greed. It's amazing how powerless it seems we are to stop it.

Instead of memories of the day, it's memories of digital bits from my phone.

Even text messages. Even if it's texts with a friend. And when I'm at my job, I have to constantly check my phone all day in case I got a text from my supervisor. I hate how you don't have a choice anymore. In the old days I would get home and see if I got any voicemails, and that was it.

Thinking about getting the Mudita Kompact

I need it to work on Verizon and be able to send and receive text messages while I'm at work. This is the only reason I haven't been able to reduce my smartphone usage. Will the Mudita work fine for this? Thanks! 🙂

Just found at my Safeway in Northern California

I can't believe I found this here. Been wanting to try it but I thought they only had it in the Midwest.
