Dad has better opsec than Hegseth.
“It’s a burner, kid. So that when cops arrest me at a protest they don’t get shit from my phone.”
I used to have 2 phones just because I liked having an iPhone and an Android phone. Nobody believed me when I told them that I was genuinely just a tech enthusiast.
I have a work phone and a personal phone…
I use a spare phone for all the BS apps which you are bullied to get
I have thought about doing that. Do you use one for all your business apps?
Not business, just stuff I don’t want to have installed on my phone. Like my mobile phone provider recently dumped their web based customer area, because most of their customers anyway use the app. So that app, which I need to top up money or change a contract is on a phone in a drawer at home. Don’t need it with me.
I have a work phone, a personal phone, one for my drug deals, one each for my 3 mistresses and a Nokia 3210 for playing Snake.
How much spanking do you need that it requires THREE mistresses???
Hands and arms get tired, so it’s always good to have options.
Then again, at that point you should just be poly and not lie to your partners. Much easier that way.
Going to second then poly thing. Gotta save money where possibly in this economy.

During the pandemic, I bought a house with my wife and girlfriend because it’s somewhat cheaper to pay a mortgage and all utilities vs 2 rents and the utilities not covered by the building (plus dealing with bullshit landlords that fuck around with serious shit like bedbugs)
After 15 years of android I cannot get used to my work iphone. Everything about it is wrong.
Using my ex’s phone was like this. “I thought you were so good with technology”. This fucking thing doesn’t have a back button. Makes me think back to Apple’s single button mouse.
I got three different playa phones. One for each part-time shorty.
But I really have a work phone that they pay for because I am absolutely not putting any work shit on my phone. No teams, no outlook, no workday, no authenticators, no emergency alerts. I think a guy who got fired was using it as a playa phone or porn phone. My boss said his data use was always maxed out and everyone else used roughly 1-2 GB.
I only take it home on weekends on the rare case i want to check an email or request time off through workday. It does come in handy while camping/road tripping. I charge it up and turn it off then toss it in the glovebox as an emergency phone.
We used to have pagers as recently as 2022 which seems way more sketchy for the time but i miss them. Always worked, only got important notifications, smaller.
My wife basically did this to her racist grandpa one time. I think they were having dinner with friends and she goes “Gwampa, I have a question, is a ‘Jive-Ass Jigaboo’ the same thing as a ‘Jungle Bunny’?”
It did not go over well with her grandpa’s friends lmao.
Edit: My wife wanted me to add because I didn’t mention it originally that she was 15 when she did this. So she was 100% aware of the live grenade she was lobbing into this conversation. I was also misremembering a little of the context these people weren’t friends they were people related to her grandpa’s labor union basically he was trying to impress and really laying it on thick. One of whom was a black man. Hence it being this particular live grenade.
What’s “Jive-ass Jigaboo”?
“Jive” is an older term for what you might call less offensively call Ebonics or AAVE. Popular in the 80’s, I remember my mom talking about having a computer program that would “translate” things into jive (while also talking about doing black face for Halloween….)
“Jigaboo” is a slur for a black person.
Yeah, jive isn’t the offensive part; the appropriation mixed with the racist slur is.
Jive is a set of slang or cant originating from NY jazz culture, specifically Harlem. Jive was a “cool” way of speaking; we owe the word hipster to jive (hep-cats became hepsters became hipsters).
Jive-ass is just an adjective meaning useless, worthless, or full of shit. A way less offensive variation is jive-ass turkey i.e. a bullshitter. Probably stems from jive speakers using jive to hustle or exclude outsiders from the conversation.
I think it would be safe to say that jive is a subset of AAVE, but not an equivalent term. AAVE is recognized as the official dialect but jive is specifically tied to music, region, and time period.
FWIW, I think the humor of the Airplane! jive scene is twofold: 1) it demonstrates how mainstream both jazz and jive had become by the 70s (to point that old white ladies got it) and, 2) the the implication that jive speakers couldn’t understand regular American English and were in need of translation.
