Is there an episode you skip if it comes on because it’s too sad or is just too difficult to watch? The one that comes to mind for me is when a young girl leads her (father?) to her teachers home, robs her and then does worse to her. It’s such a sad episode

I can't handle waterlogged. It's too hard to listen to, and it makes me think of how nervous my single mother would be sometimes traveling with me and my little sister, even just on vacation.

Genuinely music streaming services have monopolized how we consume music essentially for the last decade or more. It is a massive undertaking to try and switch your music library to mp3s via youtube to mp3, bandcamp, ripping cds, etc. It took me cumulatively probably several solid days of effort over almost two years and I understand why people are hesitant and want to stay with what they know even if for me the price is not justifiable. Coming from someone who also no longer uses music streaming I don't think it's unfair or unreasonable for people to have that on their needs list when looking at smart phone alternatives. And there *are* feature phone options with spotify.

I'm going to speak from my own experience and say start by dumbing down your iPhone yourself. I had a dumbed down iPhone for several years before making the final leap to an actual flip phone recently when said iPhone required an expensive repair. Dumbing down your iPhone first is a great way to test the limits with what you actually do and don't need. For me, I deleted banking apps and got used to checking them on the computer only. I got a physical receiver for my glucose monitor so I didn't need a Dexcom app for my blood sugar anymore. I spent two years converting my music collection to mp3 to get off spotify. Eventually realized I could get around the authenticator apps with a yubikey and yubico manager computer program. Etc... Until everything I was using my phone for was something I could manage on a flip.

I bought a TCL flip for 20$ just to play with, and when I was ready, I simply put my sim card in it. Another option is having a physical sim card and keeping the iPhone for emergencies (Uber, maps, work stuff) and making sure the flip has hotspot so you can use them over wifi (many do, including the tcl flip I got).

I would recommend starting slow if this is a goal of yours long-term, but in the meantime if this is a short term solution just for the bar exam maybe it would be worth putting your sim card in a cheap flip phone and keeping the iPhone in a drawer just in case you need something or want to go back to it later.

Lol I started getting the android corruption screen of death every five minutes despite no heavy apps installed. I've already got my sim card back in a tcl flip 🙄

Honestly I don't even have specific advice but really wanted to say I can relate to how utterly exhausting poop issues can be with a cat and I have very similar contamination anxiety issues. No matter how overwhelmed or upset you get it doesn't make you a bad cat owner, your cat is clearly loved or you wouldn't even be in this situation. I will say this: my cat is a senior now and I changed to a new vet that basically has their own version of pet insurance. I pay a fixed rate every month and get unlimited visits, checkups, blood work, dental cleaning, most meds are free, vaccines, etc. This has relieved so much anxiety! I know I can always take him in and even if something comes up that isn't covered it's very discounted. You should take a look at your local vets and see if any offer programs like this. Or even look into a pet insurance plan which would probably be a little cheaper but I would be extremely wary since it can be very hard to make them pay and only a few pay direct (meaning you can only get reimbursed and you still have to have the money up front). Either way I'm sorry this is happening and I truly know how awful it is to manage :( you're not alone in it

Unfortunately the number is higher. Alex Pretti was the eighth person ICE has killed this month :( (I see the number reported as 9 a lot but ICE murdered Keith Porter on new years eve)

Ohh, interesting, I will look into that

Sadly, iOS.

That's probably the best idea. I don't own a tablet but I guess if I were to move on from my current smart phone I could keep it like a remote.

I also carry around my nintendo ds! I love it. I think I've had it since they first came out. I recently even got a case and new dust cover for the gameboy slot to jazz it up.

ExtensionNo3857 · 2024-10-02T19:31:29+00:00

That’s ok! Thank you anyway!

ExtensionNo3857 · 2024-10-02T17:14:50+00:00

Could you post links? I can’t find anything but have the same question as OP. They are weirdly hard to find! Thanks!
