It's not about the money
Yeah, it's logistically much easier to buy more ammo than to have to replace IDs, credit cards, family photos, etc.
Y'all carry wallets still? 2 or 3 cards should be enough, that shit fits in your phone case.
Y'all use phone cases? Not dropping your phone should be enough, that shit fits in your hand.
Yeah its meant to challenge someone's current position by causing people to defend it out loud. I understand its actual nonsense to say noone should need a wallet, just as its nonsense to say that noone needs a phone case, or even that everyone needs a phone case.
I thought it was to protect your phone, but yeah, ok. Must be an Apple thing.
If you use it right, it can protect your mind too!
No, it doesn't. I would have to get one of those annoying wallet phone cases for that.
I prefer to keep my phone separate from everything else.
The phone cases made for a few cards are the same size as regular ones nearly, and for me I'm far more likely to lose a wallet than a phone.
I also dont leave my phone out in public places to be snatched.
Oh good so if my phone gets lost, I don't just lose that I also lose my ID and cards too! Great plan.
If you are more likely to lose your phone than your wallet, sure. Thats not my case so it males sense for me. It also prevents me from carrying stuff I dont need. Replacing a picture ID and canceling a few cards is trivial.
Yeah let me just call my bank and- Ah, oh yeah, phone gone. DMV at least is all online now.
Btw, not all of us have only such trivial cards. If they get my wallet they also have access to some shit they shouldn't through an RFID badge and another nondescript card I have to pay $100 and visit the sherriff's office to replace, and a sentimental item or two that are irreplaceable, think family photos. I even have a decoy wallet lol, (rather a money clip with the "here, take it" cash and no cards) so they can steal that and if they get my phone too, fine but at least I'm not fucked with one move.
Yeah its really a perspective and lifestyle thing, although I'm at the point where I might actually turn something down if it meant I was required to carry around any more than I do now unless it was worth it, like for a job.
I won't even do small chain rewards cards or any of that nonsense, and none of their apps work with a degoogled phone anyways, so I just pay extra to not have to deal with it.
I also carry a decoy phone
To throw at the snail as a last ditch defense.
Good idea
Well I figure in the event I'm being robbed, I'd lose both a wallet and a phone. Probably my keys too.
I could be convinced that I'm increasing my risk somehow but I would need someone to walk me through how.
I've never met one of these wallet-hating guys that wasn't super effeminate/gay. It's weird, but it's consistent. Also they always wear one weird black ring for some reason. What's up with y'all?
