I like obscure MMA forums :D

where were you at?

Did you ever see Sonnen's War?
It was a site called MMALinker this was probably around 10 years ago now though , not sure if it still exists. I am not sure , I will have to look it up. I remember a bunch of your stuff being posted back then . Good thing you always had the name on them .

That's cool you post here , you did some great work.

I need to use mine for a lot of things.

For my day job, from next month I will need to use a Government-issued app to verify my identity so I can access my clients' tax information. I also do Ubereats as a side income and obviously need the app for this.

Its also good for my online banking and emails. I've limited my social media and video use through the smart phone though, which I feel is where most of the issues lie.

Lulz. What's your Facebook notification count? I'm on 25 unchecked and I really dont Facebook much. Think a couple hours ago. Not people messaging me specifically I'm sure, they'd text or call otherwise.
I don't facebook from my phone anymore.

dude your legendary
lol to a small few perhaps :D I sure had a lot of fun in those days lol
Creative overflow, pure MMA and conspiracy forum hilarity

Here is a totally outdated website with a ton of stuff archived, old shoops, link to Sonnen's War, documentary lists and inside jokes etc;
www.MasatoToys.com

There was a time when things started gaining momentum, was getting some commissions from interesting places, I considered trying to expand the brand and maybe trying to turn it into something but nah lol

I've gone through some metamorphosis since then, it looks like another lifetime looking back, I haven't looked at that site for years

Good times

Ironically, and relating back to the thread... none of that was designed to be viewed on cell phones, lol. That is how new this cell phone madness is

It's why I use my watch for the time, alarm clock, planner, pc, and ipod for music. I refuse to put my entire existence in one single device. My phone is mainly for calls, text, gps, some fb, and some shitposting on tmmac.

I'm pretty tech heavy apparently. I've got two ipads charging on my sofa, I'm typing this on a laptop with my iphone 11 Max Pro next to it and a Macbook Pro's on its way.
I rely on it loads. I always get laughed at going through airport security because I have to take so much out of my roll along.

I refuse to even wear a watch.

I will never forget the day I was backpacking through some islands in BC. I was buying those disposable cameras for my photos (pre-iphone days), and needed a new one. Went to a general store and the only one they sold came with a 'free' digital watch. I bought the phone but didn't need the watch. I tried to offer a brand new perfectly good watch to anyone who was standing around, but no one wanted it. Everyone at the same time realized that NO ONE was wearing a watch. I threw it in the trash and everyone smiled fuckin right were on island time here baby :D

real men don't wear watches

Me: Kids these days, it's so scary man. I don't use my phone for shit. Just work emails.

TMMAC: You don't use the phone?

Me: Well that goes without saying. Emails and phone calls. But that's it. I'm oldschool.

TMMAC: You don't text?

Me: Oh, sure. OK so just emails, phone calls, and texts. But that's it.

TMMAC: What about photos?

Me: Oh yeah of course. OK; emails, phone calls, texts, and photos. After that I am unplugged, baby.

TMMAC: Music?

Me: Yeah I've got some songs, I like listening while driving. OK then just emails, phone calls, texts, photos, and music. But that's it. That's where I draw the line. This phone addiction is getting way too crazy.

TMMAC: What about that flashlight thingy?

Me: Oh, fuck yeah. That comes in handy tons. I like the calculator too. OK, aside from emails, phone calls, texts, photos, music, the calculator, and the flashlight thingy, I am totally not a phone junkie.

TMMAC: So you have like paper maps in your car then to find where you're going?

Me: Paper maps? Oh shit I forgot about those. lol No way man I love my Google Maps GPS. OK OK... emails, phone calls, texts, photos, music, the calculator, the flashlight thingy, and Google Maps GPS. But that's it. I'm hardcore not like the kids these days, always on their phones.

TMMAC: Any games?

Me: Chess sometimes. And maybe some Tetris... *sigh* . OK - aside from emails, phone calls, texts, photos, music, the calculator, the flashlight thingy, GPS, chess, and Tetris... I am TOTALLY not dependent on my phone.

TMMAC: Hey Masato, what are you doing right now?

Me: Shitposting on a forum with my phone. Why?

I have to admit its not a good look lol

This thread is serious, we are all getting sucked in even those who realize its getting freaky

What do we do??

Its like this is the mark in the right hand prophecised, that no man shall be able to buy or sell without the mark

Sometimes it right freaks me out. We are the unique generation who best witnessed the change in humanity.
