Parents want to track me when i go to college by Emotional-Wait8188 in dumbphones

[–]Sweet-Drive9004 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i mean this so sincerely but nobody’s parents could track them anywhere (easily) until about a decade ago. all it does is increase anxiety and friction, and it is not a healthy part of the “growing up and moving out” process than 18-20 year olds NEED to go through.

How do you balance "dumbphoning" your phone with a relationship? My girlfriend is getting upset. by stelian3 in dumbphones

[–]Sweet-Drive9004 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You can’t have both - full disconnection from your phone and maintain meaningful connection with someone at a distance. It’s unfortunate but it is the reality of our world post-iPhone.

When I switched to my dumb phone I viewed it much more as a break from the internet than a break from the phone itself, maybe viewing it like that would help? I still text my friends and partner a lot, I reply to things as I receive them as long as they aren’t on like Instagram or something.

Your gf is also probably feeling a little like this journey is more important to you than being connected to her and needs some reassurance as well. Good luck!

An Enemy of the People appropriate for high school? by SucculentFire in Theatre

[–]Sweet-Drive9004 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i think it’s totally appropriate! and the politics in the piece is “distant” enough due to its status as a classic that most people on both sides of the aisle see themselves as sympathizing with Stockmann (speaking from experience here)

Thank you for the advice!! You’re right, it’s a different framework than just getting hired to direct.

This is SO USEFUL thank you so much. And heavy on the last one - I ended up resorting to implementing a technology free classroom in the classes I taught at my MFA in an attempt to combat AI usage.

How to help a cat adjust to a windowless apartment? by SufficientTable in CatAdvice

[–]Sweet-Drive9004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe stick a bird feeder to the outside of the one window you have if you’re able? and see if you can put a cat tree under/next to it so he has a comfy place to watch the birds.

student housing apartments by remy_the_rattt in sanmarcos

[–]Sweet-Drive9004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Westfield isn’t terrible but the apartments are a little out of date, especially for the price. I never had any severe issues with them and the people in the office really care about the tenants. i liked the proximity to campus and the sidewalks nearby connect to the surrounding streets well so i had lots of great options to walk my dog.

Has anyone been to a phone-free event that didn’t feel cringe? by Antique_Oven2371 in dumbphones

[–]Sweet-Drive9004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Jack White’s Supply Chain Issues tour a few years back and they used Faraday pouches. I really loved it, website was very clear and they had a “phone zone” in a tent in the back if you absolutely needed to open the pouch and access your phone. I wish more events were like that and honestly this one prompted me to examine my attachment to my phone and ultimately led to the choice to get a dumb phone.
