My phone just stays forever on silent with most emergency sounds off

  To be honest, I think the Amish might be on to something. If we could create a sect that stopped at '90s tech, I’d be tempted to convert.

    The only phone you get is a landline, a plastic Garfield whose eye open when you pick up the handset. So it is written, so shall it be.

      It could be a mobile. But it only makes calls and it costs 10 cents a minute to the caller.

      …which is fine, until the ninjers start calling in death threats on your Garfield phone.

      The original StarTac was 90s, no?

    Cory Doctorow explained in one of his articles that the Amish don’t avoid technology indiscriminately, they weigh the harm against the use. His example was that it’s bad when electronic communication replaces face-to-face contact, but it’s no good either if you can’t contact a vet when your cow falls ill.

      I was like “wow what a reasoned take, I like cory doctorow for basically everything he says”. Then I read your username and almost did a spit take. Lol

      Amish communities can have phones if they vote for it amongst themselves. The one I saw was a community landline. They had just one in a little shed along the driveway.

    One week of no porn and you’d come crawling back.

      Back in the ‘90’s if you go for a walk in a wooded area in the park you could find pornographic magazines with half the pages glued together.

      You… you think that wasn’t around back then?

      In the 90s you just waited longer for one pic.

      Not to mention magazines found in the forrest.

    Mennonites wild be the closest but that entirely depends on the community.

    If she’s about to shun she’s possibly a Mennonite.
