I just simply wanna do my work and go home... clearly that's too much to ask.

Edit: Yes, this post is very close to political and other shit that shouldn't be discuss... so don't need to response. Just venting

Still waiting for a political thread, let it open 48hrs max then close it

I am actually enjoying not having internet at my new house. I throw a pod cast on or listen to music and get stuff done.

How do you get said podcast and/or music?

It downloads podcasts that I follow when in wifi on my work phone though I do listen to them on data too sometimes. A couple of my favorites always drop Monday mornings so I usually start one on my drive to work.

I was just pointing out that you use your phone, and the cell data is also internet so you technically have internet when you are there. Thus, ironically, your statement is supporting my point.

Or something...

My whole house would shut down now with no internet!

Mine, too. My wife was a pretty vocal internet/home automation critic. 6 weeks into having voice control over the lights, she quieted down a bit.

Add in a half dozen streaming services and her youtube sewing videos and she is virtually mute.

I guess I should say without internet I can't watch anything since I am in a bit of cell service hole so I am less distracted. That was the whole point of my Fi phone is to not have internet through standard service but the service sucks in my area.

My guess/hope is it will pass. I'm a strong civil rights advocate. That said, in many to most situations even social justice proponents find hyper-PC environments stifling. There is a core, however, that demands purity. I think they are wearing out their welcome, even among their friends.

yep.

lately, i've been trying to go into stores without my phone. doesn't sound like a big deal on the surface. i like to think i'm not "chained to my phone"

but i'm realizing that i used to price-check a lot of things, or some random item at walmart reminds me of an entirely different project at home that i need to order parts for that they don't stock.

heck, even harbor freight coupons are on the phone web page and not in stores anymore! really screwed up that day...
