    It’s just hollow, mindless narcissism. Brought to you by the exact type of rude deadweight that cuts into an orderly line every time, expecting nobody to break the tension, confront and put them in their rightful place at the back of the line.

      My old gym (closed during covid) had a no phone policy, agreed upon in sign up, posted with multiple signs. It kind of sucked if you wanted to use your phone for music, but I appreciated it. They would literally toss any phones in the garbage.

        This might be when that old iPod - sitting in a drawer for years - might come in handy. Or any little MP3 player that might be in the market right now, I haven’t shopped for them in ages, but I imagine they’re pretty cheap nowadays.

          Ha I used to use this little RCALyra MP3 player.

          Shit was awesome, super tiny. Came with a strap that could connect to your arm. 64MB internal storage (that’s like a whole CD yo) and expandable memory with a SD card. No worrying about charging shit as it’s powered by a single triple a battery.

          The battery compartment was notoriously flimsy and would break off. So I always had to have a rubber band wrapped around it to keep it closed.
