  4. “DuckDuckGo is what I use, much better than google”

    DuckDuckGo is just an anonymizer that uses Google to do your searching, it just keeps your personal information and identity private from google records.

  5. “Anyone making fun of my flip phone now?”

    Can you still use yours on a 3C network?

    I had to get a new one, still a flip phone but a smart phone too since that is all that is available now (turned all data access off first thing), since 3G will be fully gone from my area this coming month and only 4G and 5G will still be available.

    I wish analog service was still available so I could still use my old bag phone, now that was a real cell phone instead of one of these toy phones they make today.
