Yeah its really a perspective and lifestyle thing, although I’m at the point where I might actually turn something down if it meant I was required to carry around any more than I do now unless it was worth it, like for a job.
I won’t even do small chain rewards cards or any of that nonsense, and none of their apps work with a degoogled phone anyways, so I just pay extra to not have to deal with it.
If you use it right, it can protect your mind too!
I think the reasons people move to cities in the US might not be the same as in the EU. Arguably quality of life peaks, in the US, in the surrounding suburbs of major cities. The closer you get to downtown the more expensive and the more difficult it is to do things.
In Europe I get the impression moving to larger cities actually does improve a lot of aspects of life on an individual basis.
For example, we have considered moving to New York or Chicago but what stops us is the amount of money needed and how difficult it can be just to keep up with a regular life in a city that dense and hostile.
I guess they are a single issue resident.
Why is it when someone says “many reasons” it usually means “I can’t think of a specific reason, but I’m sure there are bunches of them”.
That doesnt work in the long term unless you kill everyone that knows about it. Its a weak plan at best.
Well I figure in the event I’m being robbed, I’d lose both a wallet and a phone. Probably my keys too.
I could be convinced that I’m increasing my risk somehow but I would need someone to walk me through how.
Yeah its meant to challenge someone’s current position by causing people to defend it out loud. I understand its actual nonsense to say noone should need a wallet, just as its nonsense to say that noone needs a phone case, or even that everyone needs a phone case.
If you are more likely to lose your phone than your wallet, sure. Thats not my case so it males sense for me. It also prevents me from carrying stuff I dont need. Replacing a picture ID and canceling a few cards is trivial.
The phone cases made for a few cards are the same size as regular ones nearly, and for me I’m far more likely to lose a wallet than a phone.
I also dont leave my phone out in public places to be snatched.
Y’all carry wallets still? 2 or 3 cards should be enough, that shit fits in your phone case.
Well assume I do and that was my response. I’m sure thats not all it takes to convince someone a conspiracy isn’t true.
How do conspiracy folk answer that counterpoint?
