I also only own a dumbphone, and the mental health benefits are considerable. I am able to concentrate, I am not interrupted every 5 minutes, no scammers are able to trick me into startings apps or to use my mobile id, my colleagues only call me if something is really important, not just &#34;checking&#34; or wanting my opinion on the most trivial things, which inevitably happens if they can &#34;chat&#34; with me on the phone. <br/><br/>For elderly, I strongly recommend it to remove an 2026-04-12T10:01:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsznlh5sq5kr0w8e0duf20kmfw4gz0c54ca792yjyaefd25wpquvlqzyrknfx2j2z2npkgymvxw5c3w4sdp77vxwgras0alx8fht27d9rwdk99x62c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsys00glp7f9sq8stljscay92dh0fcfckex68qpjtzeda56d34ejeqsedwf2'>nevent1q…dwf2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>has followed a leftist economy, which we know, lowers growth and makes things worse for the country.

If you are in the right, when it comes to the belief in your value to the company, it can also be very lucrative. If not, it can be a ery humbling experience. <br/><br/>It is my personal experience, that very rarely are you irreplaceable in a medium to large size company, so these operations should only be engaged in if you are absolutely certain. 2026-04-10T10:27:53Z
