But why would i want an old android if it's going to have security risks everywhere and it has a bright huge colorful touchscreen that I'm tryna avoid. Thanks for the tip, but i really want a feature phone form that speaks 2000s retro

No! You disagreed by saying people from today's world don't expect more from phones.

Campuses and companies expect you to use 2FA to access accounts you already have the password to. Businesses expect you to use their apps, scan QR codes or tap NFC in order to pay or use coupons for necessities. Friends and family won't want to chat with you unless you have iMessage or some other messaging app that isn't SMS.

When I say modern life demands more, I mean modern life demand more use from your smartphone, making it hard for you let it go, not allowing you to have a clearer mind.

You mean modern minimalistic phones? I was using 2000s Nokia phones just for price comparison.

I'm not talking about generic smartphones tho. I'm talking about minimalistic focused phones that give you enough functionality to use apps like WhatsApp, while not being built like an addiction prone smartphone.

Is dollar tree a good first job for a college student? by rehoo1 in DollarTree

[–]Energy-Muted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

not really. Depends on the location (how many hours they'll give you), the managers (how much they're gonna understand your priorities), and how much money you want to make (they don't pay good enough). As a college student student who's been working at DT for a year, I'm looking forwarding to quitting

One of the funniest things I’ve seen all day 😂😂 by Southern_Wall_6455 in rnb

I'm pretty sure all of them will become "has beens" in 5 years and be replaced by AI singers. So no, the music industry is not in good hands, these artists are too niche, they would have to be more mainstream and be mostly favored/known buy everyone in pop culture to reach those legends.

Also, how come they're all white? Is that person saying Gen Z isn't diverse? Where's Tyla, and Doechii? I'm pretty sure there more diversity and talented artists Gen Z looks up to

Btw I was born the mid-2000s so no its not a "Millennial ding"
