  • Yeah it was better before smart phones. Pre 2010 I would say was the peak for tech in our world. Smart phones were coming out, but not widely adopted by everyone yet. Flip phones solved the problem of being able to contact people when you were out, but they did not have apps that sucked your soul away.

    If we had never advanced past dumb phones then the world would be a better place.


  • When I was a younger I asked my dad this same question and I will never forget how frazzled he was by it. He told me some b.s. answer like, “Oh, I don’t know. You don’t really need to do that.”

    He made me feel humiliated for asking. At a certain point I could not ignore it anymore though, so when I experimented and tried to figure it out myself, I did cut myself and there was blood everywhere. I was terrified and thought I was going to bleed out. Luckily it wasn’t really that bad and I managed it on my own, but I remember how scared I was.

    After going through all that, I told myself that I would help my future son if he ever asked me a question like that. You are a better dad than mine was in this situation. It’s your job to help them with whatever they need, and it would have meant a lot to me back then if my dad had helped me the way you did. I can guarantee your son appreciated it and will remember how you looked out for him.
