I’ll entertain the red alt.

It is. The most popular smartphones of 2023 all look the same on the front. The backs vary depending on how many cameras, but are also basically identical.



In the 2000s there were so many variations. Some cell phones flipped open, some were slide ups. Some had keyboards, others didn’t. Some had primitive touchscreens, others had a trackball.



You could look at it both ways. Perhaps the technology found the best template and stuck with it, or perhaps consumerism and conformity led to the standard design we all see today. Either way, software has superseded hardware in variability, and even that is limited to about 2 or 3 operation systems nowadays.

Yeah there was a significant change in 2012 and then a major one around late 2014 to 2016. Lots of glitches in the matrix since 2014 as well. To me its like some kind of purgatory or dreamstate that I cant change. Just glitches everywhere. Cern also fired up in 2012 and since they found the Higgs boson nothing has felt the same. Idk if thinks changed then or around 2015 or so but something has warped reality. There is evil rising across the world and it all just kind of came out of nowhere. Man i don't remember any negativity from before 2012. It seems like that year things got dark depressing and negative overall. I remember in 2010-2011 especially everyone was so happy to socialize and talk about anything and we just went with the flow. Everyone connected with each other. Then smart phones and social media came along and things changed. It's almost like for most people their personalities got uploaded online and they are just a shell of themselves physically if that makes any sense. Not everyone is like this but this is the general vibe i get. I'm weird as **** now unless I'm in a place where socializing is forced. Like at my job I can talk normal to my coworkers but I act desperate and weird around anyone else. Even the way I talk is weird now so i cant just be trying to talk to random people about dumb ****, I'm weird now and very desperate. When I started feeling desperate is when I started to just put my head down and ignore everyone. Idk what else to do

Probably because we are going technocratic soon and will be ruled by the elites. Also the world is going crazy because of all of the leftist propaganda and conspiracies lately. And because of all of the algorithms.

Bro people are weird now days. Why should I seek therapy when people are coming up to me talking about their wife's prosthetic leg, purple hair, rupaul super heroes and Harry Potter, and other weird stories? And other than that all people talk about is Netflix and food. I get a weird effeminate vibe from men these days too. At some point I have to question this reality.

Something very weird is happening.

What are you supposed to do when people just stand around talking about Netflix shows, food and how they fixed their car and chit? Nobody talks about anything interesting ever. This is ****ing insane how I have to go sit in the chitter just to get away from this

I'm getting to the point where i question everything that was taught to us growing up. How would we know if the earth isn't flat? How do we know we went to the moon? It's just stuff the elites and government tell us.

I recommend brave browser on your phone if you're not already using it. No ads and you can turn your screen off and continue to listen.

I could throw them a bone and use chrome from time to time.

This wouldn't be an issue at all if I had a flip phone though.

Why is your username "flipphone" but the picture you use for your avi a slide phone? It's not like there's a shortage of flip phone stock pictures on Google.

$5K is an exaggeration on your part. Most pay less than $1500.

I remember in the mid 1980s my dad had a car phone installed - $4K for a box in the trunk, corkscrew antenna on window, and a wired handset. Oh, and that was $4K in 1980s dollars and the phone was non portable and service was paid for per each minute of use.

—Revelation 13:11–18

no rectangles or circles but my mind is still fully blown.

to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark

makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people,and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

I only know one person who was mortally wounded but then still lived and preformed signs and earth and it's inhabitants do worship him because he is fcking based.

So if Jesus was a beast and I reckon Jesus would have lifted pretty heavy then sign me up for the mark of the based.

This is calling out the clergy big time. The first beast, Jesus the based is still the good guy in this story. The second beast is or at least hides within the clergy.
