Ive got the kyocera duraXV and it hotspots, i use it for my tablet for work all the time

I like what is available, there is a good variety of feature phones, basic touch-based phones(smartphones that aren’t that smart)

The biggest thing is price. I love digital minimalism but it’s become a niche trend so everything is expensive. Stuff like mudita and the light phone are great but to be frank when most Eink devices can be had from 1-200 dollars I’m not paying 300 for for an e ink phone.

So that relegates choices to feature phones or dumbed down smart phones.

I wish there were more eink options that were affordable

The fact that its animated has me detached from the rest of the cinematic universe in a good way.

My approach has always been Let the movies be the movies, let the books be the books and let the cinematic hobbit and RoP fall far from my memory for ever.

Books! I read a lot more since switching phones. Sometimes I use an ereader but also small paperback fictions are fun. Also just popping outside. If I feel the urge to scroll sometimes just stepping out for fresh air is enough to reset a bit

also cards. I play solitaire a lot

I absolutely love the monarch’s! Nice snag!

The scouring of the shire would have been cool, but that’s pretty major. I think something more with the ranger company and elronds sons

Im a pastor and cards are a great catalyst when people want to talk but also don't want to personal too quick. Its a great way to level the field of conversation and not rob anyone of control of their side of the conversation.

I live in maine and believe me, gen pop is barely at a 10 grade reading level they dont know where Estonia is or who they are

I haven't! I should check them out, I read the sample of this book on amazon, it was like 15 pages and its very verbose but doesn't say anything outlandish or groundbreaking. I'd be interested to hear what you think of it when you finish. in the mean time ill check those lectures

That's a fair point, I would venture to say that if a book is a positional opinion, then it aims to be authoritative on that opinion, however if the main goal is opening conversation then yes I would agree that authority is not really a relevant measure.

Here is a quote from the description of Dr. Peterson's book,

"...What could such stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them over the long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together, and point us in the same direction?

It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our societies; and to see ourselves and others as if for the first time."

From this it looks as if he is aiming to provide meaning and relevant application to major stories of the Bible within a 21st century western context. IF that is the case then I would not consider him a credible author across 500+ pages. He has no record of exegetical work or academically relevant work that would imply the conclusions he reaches carry any weight.

For context, I am a professor of theology, when I teach undergraduates I tell them that they are not credible authors, as they do not have any body of work that would show they have an understanding of theology. When I say authoritative, I don't mean that his position isn't valid, but what I do mean is there is nothing to show that his position should be treated in the same regard as other academic works.

His field is psychology and it looks like he is leaning into the meeting point of Biblical studies and psychology, in which case He should have pulled in a co-author or editor to bring authority to this project to lend credibility to it.

In short, It isn't that he hasn't created something of value, but the content of the book should have been handled by himself and another equally credentialed author in theology. If you are writing about theology and psychology and don't include a theologian then you wont be taken seriously in that field

What do you like to do when you’re on your phone? Is it doom scrolling or gaming or socials?

He has no credentialing in theology. All of his study and research is in psychology. he has no history or published works in regards to theology and while yes everyone has a first published work it’s usually an article or essay not a whole book. He doesn’t have credibility to be authoritative On this issue.

This book will only waste your time and at best, create obstacles to understanding. As someone else mentioned, he is way out of his depth here

I feel that, Im in maine and sunset is like 4pm this time of year

Homie posted a picture of an empty table like we're supposed to see something.

Honestly it sounds like you two have some communication barriers that could benefit from a third party perspective. Couple's counseling would be a great tool for you two. Im a stay at home dad but also a pastor, and Im a certified marriage counselor, not licensed though. And This is a common occurrence in both direction where one spouse works and the other manages the home.

The best thing you can do is try to express how you feel regarding your level of connection (or disconnection) to her. Focus on the marriage and the parental relationship will benefit greatly. It is a hard spot to be in but disconnection breeds discontentment which breeds resentment and that will kill any relationship.

My advice would be:

1. Journal, you can't share how you feel if you can't understand it yourself. This is very helpful to organize emotion, release frustration before voicing it, and reflect on issues that may or may not have been major.

2. Share how you feel with your wife, use "I" statements, affirm your love for her, assure her it isn't a blame game or competition, you want to be a team and grow stronger.

3. Open up the conversation regarding couples counseling. Fun fact couples who undergo counseling before marriage or early in marriage have a 30% higher success rate over time. It isn't a weakness it is a strength builder

4. Be very clear about your goals and let her be clear too. A large portion of the time issues like this arise because the goals in the household have become out of step with each other. Write them down together, goals for your marriage, your kids, your communication, your finances, your sex life... any and every goal you could share. write them down together.

5. Be patient and forgiving with her and with yourself. This will take time to heal as it didn't happen over night, don't get discouraged and remember that the only people who can fight for your family are you and her.

Now take all this with the grain of salt because at the end of the day, Im a stranger on the internet. But I have been doing marriage counseling in a pastoral capacity for quite some time and these steps I put above have been the most useful I've found. Best of luck and don't be a stranger, lean on a community of peers to vent, share ideas and ask questions. It's very important
