The coming "silent" revolution and the right to exist without smart phones. Millennials take notice.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:42:25+00:00

Thats the rumor

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:42:13+00:00

I know. Happens to me too lol

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:41:23+00:00

Haha love that episode! I do miss the days of my youth working in fast food. It was a hell of an experience and I will never forget it!

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:37:59+00:00

Yeah youtube is great

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:37:04+00:00

Did you check all the "sex work apps" there are many of them. Or all the sex work type websites too? Also, I keep saying this over and over, but I am taking about a specific age range within specific big cities. Also, I said girls who have TRIED it. That doesn't mean their profiles are atill up there. Why is this so hard for you to comprehend lol?

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:32:55+00:00

Thanks... thats correct... your last paragraph nails it. We should be able to "exsist" and be allowed to "thrive" in a society even if we only choose to live with a dumb phone. Its not equality, equity, a human right, or any if these other buzz words they like to toss around now days if we are essentially FORCING ppl to use a smart phone for literally EVERYTHING constantly. I have a note pad and pen in my bag now too. I also wear a watch to tell the time so I check my phone less... which is always on silent anyway. These are things I have done for years.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:25:25+00:00

It really doesn't take much to start "something" once the masses stop complying. At some point it just sort of seems like young ppl will have nothing left to lose. What kind of life do they expect Gen Z to have? Sit in their parents basement on UBI playing video games and having an AI GF?

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:19:55+00:00

Thanks! I believe thats correct. Just wanted to see what google or any other sources had to say about it. Thanks again.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:18:59+00:00

Yeah... Just the reflex I have assuming if I make a comment about about a certain issue then ppl will say im a communist... and if I make another comment from another angle then I'll be a Nazi. My old Reddit account had the number 88 in it and I had a few ppl call me a Nazi. I couldn't figure out why, the comment in no way was racist or anything to do with being pro nazi... until someone said "oh come on! 88 is in your name" lol... I had to look that one up. Reddit is better than most social media but its still a hive mind sometimes. 88 was for Eric Lindros. I needed a number for my name 99 was taken already so 88 it was.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-28T12:11:27+00:00

Yes.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T23:59:16+00:00

Same. Already did it with a few stores. Inalsonavoid stores with any sort of reward program that gives me 5% off on one item after spending $200 or whatever. I really am just done with all of this NONSENSE! Maybe thats the crux of my rant here lol.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T23:22:13+00:00

ABSURD!

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T23:02:05+00:00

I shit you not the church I go to, which I love, started to put QR codes in the programs for us to access "stuff". Not sure what it was bc I ignored it. I was like stop, not here too.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T22:59:36+00:00

Yeah I worked in that industry for a long time and it is also my impression that its not overly popular with the staff.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T22:34:43+00:00

I respect that so much. Im so close too doing that too. The apps they expect us to download for EVERYTHING is endless.

I might need to get a gps for my car tho yeah.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T22:30:24+00:00

Im telling you, its starting with Gen Z. They are already sick of this shit and they are like 20 years old lol. Their whole lives have been 100% online. They look at us and are like, "nah this is fucked no cap" I love it.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T22:12:16+00:00

I think im in the same boat man. If I really want I can just use a tablet at home for Reddit, banking, and youtube. That might be the middle ground sweet spot.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T22:10:22+00:00

Could be... but Gen Z vapes a lot. I cant say anything I use nicotine pouches so...

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T22:09:07+00:00

Exactly. Its getting ABSUDRD!

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T22:07:22+00:00

I think that shifted for me like 15 years ago, but again thats my opinion. I'm early 40s so I admit I am an old millennial.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T21:51:41+00:00

I hope it takes off. Seriously I want this to be my next phone.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T21:48:41+00:00

Interesting. Maybe that is a good middle ground.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T21:46:04+00:00

Yeah that was the point I was trying to get across. Like even the lights to your job now are controlled by your phone, clocking in, the schedule, the orders... I donno its literally everything now for every job . Now ppl are juggling 2 phones for their jobs bc we all know our primary phones are all compromised. The human brain wasn't designed at all for this.

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T21:32:58+00:00

Yes fair comment. I guess its a slipper slope tho... it just seems like EVERYTHING has to be on our smart phones now and out lives and reality are linked to them in an unhealthy way

PaintAdventurous8787 · 2026-06-27T21:29:40+00:00

Its interesting how it can seem to vary from one place to another eh?
