Ten minutes online to go shopping or an hour back and forth to the store. Hmmmmm
“We all know Epstein was a pedo, but a guy like that doesn’t get that rich pimping underage girls to rich folks.”
Yes, that is true, but everyone leaves out the other side of the coin. He was blackmailing his participants, hence they were committing treason.
Free Republic TMZ and Pornhub for me.
Most of the things that happen we can do next to nothing about.
The rest we can do nothing about.
I spent a good deal of the week on-line, occasionally with a fish on the other end.
Lol. I wouldn’t doubt it.
Porn fiends.
I remember buying a shower radio so I could listen to Rush Limbaugh in the shower (didn’t want to miss his Life Lock commercials).
To you. But the entire supply chain is based on the internet. Without it it collapses. And you couldn’t call people — land lines are all but extinct and all telephony is via the internet.
How would you get food. How would you PAY for food — all transactions would have to be cash only.
There’s always an answer. But you’re right if it collapsed it would be a problem but unless it is due to war, it would be solved. Satellites are not dependent on internet. There was an entire system prior to the internet. I’m in a rural area so hunting isn’t out of the question. Anyway, I doubt we will see that ... well unless the country goes insane and elects a democrat for President the all bets are off.
Guarantee you the system would pivot to cash (or other items) in a NY min. We’d all survive and we wouldn’t have to watch families sitting in a restaurant all glued to their screens and ignoring each other!
And nobody thought the world would be locked down for a year+ by a “pandemic”, either. There’s always something looming out there that’s not on anyones’s bingo card….real or contrived.
Pretty sure that’s me. I even use my phone when I’m watching a streaming show on TV. Between here, Twitter, texting, and playing games, I easily spend half my day online. I blame it on my ADHD and currently being retired. 🤣
I spend a lot of time playing the poker app, free republic, YouTube, Amazon and reading books on kindle. The internet is great! 😊
😎
That’s cool.
I spend abut 2 hours each morning over breakfast and coffee doing the “social activism” thing. Check my email about twice a day on my phone and occasionally order something from Amazon if it isn’t easy to find locally. My weekly phone usage reports tell me I spend about 26 minutes a week using my phone.
