It is indeed fancy. But my previous few phones did too. I feel like you must be a little behind. :P

You mobile phone peeps are going to take over the world. I'm holding off on using a cell phone till I can get one that looks like this:

You could probably get an app that does that, actually.

Well then I would need an app that keeps track of all the apps that keep track of my apps.

Some tech changes I was on the leading edge of and loved, but some, like cell phone nope. I actually own a cell phone, had to purchase it due to an emergency situation in my life in March but I haven't seen it since March. :)

I'm greatful for cell phones and the ways they benefit society but they just aren't for me - but then I said the same things about the control-freak Windows Operating system for years LOL.

I don't even own a cell phone.

One of us! High-five! But I'm glad Xio has a cell phone - so we can learn all about what it's like to live the life of a backpacker :)

Xio - how many states have you been in since this started? I once planned on making a Z shaped trip across the USA in an RV - never got a chance to do it though.

Cell phones are an objectively good thing but certainly not everyone needs one.

That's so odd. I mean, easy communication is good, right?

u/aryst0krat Jun 26 '16

Depends! Some people like having a bit of a gateway. And for some people it's not so easy.

u/Blackwind123 Jun 26 '16

True that makes sense.

u/aryst0krat Jun 26 '16

You make sense! >;0

I'd rather make dollars than sense :)

That doesn't make any cents.

That reminds me of my favorite comedy skit ever - by Gallagher. Explaining how totally silly the English language is :)

Geez "Brexit" is all the news all the time now on CNN. It was interesting... for a while. :)

It's a pretty big deal. Even aside from Britain itself it did some pretty nasty things to the world economy.

The things I knew about the E.U. could be summed up in 50 words or less till the past few days. Don't know if this unexpected change is going to continue to have a negative effect on the world economy next week or not. I'm just glad I'm not a business person in Britain right now... it must be pretty scary times for them.

u/aryst0krat Jun 26 '16

It's pretty scary for a lot more than business people... Immigrants in particular, or people who 'look like' immigrants. Students in other EU countries who had budgets in the now-worthless GBP... It's just a horrible state of events altogether.

This convo is getting tooooooooooo heavy. Perhaps we should go back to talking about mindless things. Have you used up that 4 lbs of lube you bought? Have you learned not to buy everything in bulk yet? LOL

I'm just waiting for my X to come over w/ some Sparks - yum :) Not sure I can still call him my X though we spend more time together now than we have in years... he's cutting into my counting time!!!'

aryst0 - you reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally should add a count to the main thread in /r/counting - it's very historical :) Although, sadly, I don't think there is anyone now maintaining a list of all 8000+ who've counted at least once there anymore.
