Not only was it a Trans woman but it was a Jewish African American Trans Woman who gave birth to the first chips ever used in both cell phones and 911 call centers.
I’m in my 50’s, and I’ve never owned a cell phone. I saw my first cell in 1985. It was attached to a back pack you had to lug around. I saw the future in a flash, as clear as day. They would become addictive, status symbol, propaganda spewing tracking devices.
It probably didn’t help that they had just made us read ‘1984’ in school. I’ve had employers offer to give me a phone and pay the fees, but I think if I had one I would become accustomed to it and feel like a whore. I can only recall twice in my life when I thought that a cell phone would be useful in a situation. I find I just don’t need the thing. I like my rotary dial red land line phone, with a fifty foot curly cord. That’s all the roaming I need.

They do this to intrude work into your life, attempting to get free work out of you. And/or to get you to never stop thinking about their bullshit. They want corpo worshipers these days, not workers.
I have to think about work bullshit all the time anyway, I don’t have a 9 to 5 situation. I was aware that they wanted to be able to get in touch with me at any time; no way was I signing up for that.
They’ll have to leave me a message on my reel to reel tape machine phone recorder, with faux wood casing. Which I check once every two weeks. Then I call you, like Charlie, from Charlie’s Angels. No one can call Charlie, and no one can call me. We call you… It drives everyone bananas.
My cellphone is now 8 years old. Has no more internet connectivity. But still works as a phone and for text messages. I refuse to replace it until it actually dies. It has zero support, as it's a Windows phone.
Why should I? You don't believe in your own rhetoric enough to even bother taking 90 seconds to write a coherent post explaining what you're linking to.

Is this “instrumental” in the same way as every other kike puppet in revisionist history? That is, “not even remotely responsible”?
