Yep. But just pretend to be a woman and you'll get any job you want.

Would it not be easier to get a dumphone and a super low end phone plan?

Just like that Mario 64 speedrunner! People say it's like it's gospel, but it's really just a bunch of peoples best guess. No proof.

Yes it does and it's super shitty, yet they still continue to show it as if it was submitted by the original poster. I agree this isn't okay.

Which phone do you have that's smaller than an iPhone?

How on earth are you still getting Instagram to serve you photos and not month old tiktok videos? I haven't seen a photo in Instagram in years.

It's weird how we're so strict on consenting adults gambling, but when underage children gamble on Counter Strike, we as a society deem it totally fine, acceptable, and normal.

I don't get it. Somehow, them being underage makes it better and not worse??

Agreed, the rest of the comments are delusional. First, you have to contact customer service, which takes a few days to get a response. Then you have to have another device to display the QR code on, which you won't have if you're travelling. They'll send you a QR code you have to scan with the device you're currently on, AND you'll have to do it without an internet connection. Meaning it just doesn't work, at all.

An offline device can take a SIM card just fine. But if you're setting up a new device, or setting up an existing device on a new country on eSim, doesn't matter, you can never connect, because you have to already have internet, to get internet.

Esim was a good idea, implemented so horribly it's worse than the 30 year old predecessor.

The company who sued him is, still, embarrassingly, attempting to hold a social media presence, despite getting exposed as fraudsters and bullies:

I'm not falling for that again. Google will abandon and "sunset" Android XR in 2027 and this device will be bricked.

It was not nothing. The phone stopped working if the user held it naturally in their hand. I had one. Reception completely cut out.

Yes but that wouldn't slow down their older devices enough to make people buy new ones
