I hate my phone so I got rid of it

special shoutout to kenny ueda for his music, I think the album is really special and you should go check it out (link in the description and also it's on spotify)

Hey! Stop scrolling the comment section of this video, silly!

flowers for Algernon is what got me reading again rly good book

Thanks for finally pushing me to stop trying to justify having my phone in my bedroom. No matter how many apps I get rid of, I can't stop the scroll or playing solitaire on my phone. The line about wanting to put down the phone but I can't struck a chord. I finally went to my local thrift store and got a basic electronic alarm clock for a couple bucks. My phone has now moved home to my computer desk. I still need a phone with apps due to my work, but I don't need it living next to me all the time even when I sleep.

You wouldn't have needed to check maps for your way home in olden times, they used to have pamphlet timetables on the bus that you could take

after watching this video i folded my phone in half

thanks

this has convinced me to get a nokia flip phone. I think I couldn’t go fully no phone but I need to get rid of this smartphone.

Staatssenator fordert mehr Maßnahmen

Staatssenator David Lawson

Staatssenator David Lawson war Mitinitiator von HCR143 und schlug 2022 eine ähnliche Resolution vor, die jedoch von der Senatsführung blockiert wurde. Tief bewegt von der Dokumentation sagte er: „Es ist herzzerreißend, wenn die eigene Familie verschwindet und es kein Ende nimmt. Man kann nicht abschließen.“

„Ein sehr düsterer Film. Wir müssen uns dessen bewusst werden, bevor es in China noch mehr Völkermord, Tod und Mord gibt“, fuhr er fort und fügte hinzu, die Geschichte von Herrn Cheng sei „sehr fesselnd, und wie er da rauskam, ist ein Wunder. … Er ist die Stimme in der Dunkelheit“, sagte er.

Senator Lawson forderte ebenfalls sofortiges Handeln. „Erstens: Hören Sie auf, das kommunistische China zu unterstützen … Wir können China auch wirtschaftlich unterstützen“, sagte er. Er hält Gesetze, die Transplantationspatienten in China den Versicherungsschutz verwehren, für eine hervorragende Idee, um dieses Verbrechen zu beenden. „Das Wichtigste, was ich heute Abend gehört habe, ist, die Versicherungen von der Kostenübernahme abzuhalten. Das wäre meiner Meinung nach ein großer Schritt, und wir können es schaffen“, erklärte er.

Mehrere Bundesstaaten, darunter Idaho, Utah und Texas, haben Gesetze verabschiedet, die Krankenkassen die Kostenerstattung für Transplantationen in China für Amerikaner untersagen. In zahlreichen Ländern, darunter Israel, Spanien, Italien, Taiwan, Norwegen, Belgien, Kanada und Südkorea, gibt es Gesetze, die Krankenkassen die Kostenübernahme für Transplantationen in China verbieten.

Staatsvertreter: Den Schmerz spüren
Der Abgeordnete Paul Baumbach, der auch Mitsponsor von HR143 war, bezeichnete die in der Dokumentation dargestellten Tragödien als schrecklich. „Es ist ein sehr trauriger Film, der von einer äußerst schmerzhaften Praxis erzählt. Sie ist Realität und erzählt die menschliche Geschichte der betroffenen Familien und Freunde, und die Zahlen sind erschütternd“, sagte er.

Abgeordneter Baumbach sagte, dieser Dokumentarfilm helfe den Menschen, ein anhaltendes und schmerzhaftes Verbrechen zu verstehen. „Ich fühle mich dem Schmerz sehr verbunden. Und das Ausmaß des Schmerzes ist einfach unfassbar. Je mehr man darüber erfährt, desto schockierender ist es“, sagte er.

US-Senatskandidaten: Wir müssen handeln
Zwei Kandidaten für den US-Senat und zwei Kandidaten für ein Staatsrepräsentantenhaus teilten ähnliche Ansichten. „Es ist wirklich erstaunlich und empörend, dass es in China solche eklatanten Menschenrechtsprobleme gibt, dass wir uns dessen in unserem Land bewusst sind und uns nicht mit den Problemen befassen“, sagte der unabhängige Senatskandidat und ehemalige Senator Dr. Mike Katz. „Aber wir scheitern am Einfluss des Geldes. Das ist sehr besorgniserregend, und wir brauchen eine starke Führung in diesem Land, die sich engagiert und sofort etwas dagegen unternimmt.“

Senator Katz betonte, wie der Film die wahre Natur des Kommunismus und seinen Schaden für die Menschheit offenlege. „Die kommunistische Denkweise hat sich langsam in unserem Land ausgebreitet. Sie findet auch in unseren akademischen Einrichtungen statt. Der Einfluss ausländischer Gelder bringt unseren Studenten nicht bei, wie man kritisch denkt, sondern was man denken soll. Das ist sehr besorgniserregend für die Zukunft unseres Landes, aber es dauert schon seit Jahren an“, sagte er.

Senator Katz sagte, er sei sich immer der Menschenrechtsprobleme in China bewusst gewesen und rief die Menschen dazu auf, sich dieser Probleme bewusst zu werden und nicht einfach tatenlos zuzusehen.

Der US-Senatskandidat Eric Hansen sagte, er sei schockiert gewesen, als er von der von der KPCh unterstützten Zwangsentnahme von Organen in China hörte. „Es ist einfach eine Tragödie, und die Tatsache, dass die Welt nichts davon weiß und dass Sie darauf aufmerksam machen, ist sehr wichtig“, sagte er.

Ok as a nurse the phantom ringing is TOTALLY REAL, I hear tones in songs and TV sometimes and I have a real fight or flight response because I thought I heard an emergency alarm.

"Not every Eddy Burback video is going to leave a lasting impression on you and alter how you perceive life"

Eddy Burback:

Sounds counterintuitive but I recently went with a dual phone method: work phone, entertainment phone.

Work phone has data, entertainment phone is off hotspot but mostly stays at home.

After work I’ll put the work phone on charger and often I’ll go well into the evening until I remember to check something on entertainment phone.

It’s pretty effective and I’ve noticed you get really good battery life by not using one phone all day. You can also get phones 3 years old for real cheap that work well.

Just watch dragon ball and Brian shaw and Devon you gotta avoid the overly brain rot. People just have no sleep control, phone or not.

The way you are holding a pen infuriates me. Otherwise great video.

that first tweet... none of those words are in the bible

been wanting to do this a while. i still can't fully quit my phone (if anyone knows how to use outlook for work without being forced to use the microsoft authenticator app pls lmk) but ive been "phasing out" parts of my phone the past few months & this gives me lots of ideas!

personally i like to keep social media on my PC. it helps me only use my phone as a multi-tool (camera, GPS, translator, etc) & i pick it up a LOT less (same w/ PC bc it takes forever to boot up)

I was born is ‘85 and we didn’t have enough money to afford cell phones until much much later after they came out. Grew up with landline. Corded until we got the cordless. That was dope. And the tape answering machine. Ah the memories.

Kind of random memory that was prompted by that car music bit - when my now-husband and I visited the South Island (NZ - we live in the North Island) a few years ago, we borrowed a car from his mum's partner, and it didn't have auxiliary or radio or anything, so we couldn't play music. Music helps my husband to focus while he's driving, so I ended up spending hours and hours just singing for him while we were driving around lol. It's a good thing I have a decent voice 🤭

Bro could have just emailed the code to his friend 😔

The part where you realized what you could use as a bookmark made me wheeze with laughter

This is such a great video !! I loved it

I have deleted all social media on my phone for over a month now and I don't think I'll ever redownload it. I check instagram on my laptop occasionally, but I really rarely reach for it tbh, and once a month I download it to post a wee photodump but that's it. It has absolutely changed my life. I feel so much less angry reading stupid comments everyday, I started training for a 10km race, I feel more present when I'm with people, I have read eight books in a month, I go to the cinema once a week, I've gone to the theatre a couple times, I sleep so much better. I just had no idea how drastically my life has changed, and I just don't think I'll ever go back. I would highly recommend it.

Could have just emailed ur QR code to ur friends phone

ive felt this way for so long but fuck its hard to break that cycle. maybe this vid inspires me to toss it and forget. but then again i'll still be on my computer rotting my brain, the phone is just slightly more convenient.

This was an amazing video and replicates how I started to feel when I just... stopped being online so much. It's such a beautiful feeling and why I truly believe the world is beautiful even if there's obvious bad in it

Eddie please tell me what banger Apple Watch band that is🙏🙏🙏

Recently, my roommate and I bought this thing called "The Brick" which, once you tap your phone to it, locks all the apps you wish not to open/get notifications from. It has helped me decrease my social media time and honestly has made me realize how often I up Instagram without even thinking. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a way to control their screentime without getting rid of their phone/the apps.

Also, this reminded me of How To With John Wilson, which is to say, it was incredibly heartfelt and beautifully shot :).

The way you write your 7s could be considered a war crime. Much love

couldn't have hurt to use an MP3 player if you still wanted music :P

I was just telling my boyfriend how I wanted to just buy a flip phone and have an old ipod to have access to my music and basic things and that's it. I was wondering the logistics of it until I saw Eddy make a video about actually doing it and its made me also realize just how unplesant my life has been because of things I've seen and allowed to happen just through a phone. I think a lot of us looking to take a step back because of how out of control we've let it become. I've also recently just finished flowers for Algernon and it is truly one of the best books I could have read in my life, I am so glad to see it getting mentioned here.

me, shouting at the screen: YOU CAN PRINT FOR FREE AT THE LIBRARY. EDDY, THE LIBRARY.

"Thanks eddy, youre living the dream" i say while watching this on my phone in the SHOWER

Videos like these are the millenial equivalent of those boomer cartoons where the kid goes "a book? How do you click on it?". Yes, phone makes you sad. Studies were done years ago proving this, and some of us did something about it. I guess what we should have done is wait a few more years while being sad the whole time and then make a 45 minute long video about doing something about it. I'm a minute in and I cannot imagine having so little to do that I listen to almost an hour of dollar store Marc Maron belaboring the oldest, most obvious commentary on modern technology. Can't wait for the section where he talks about taking to other people instead and community!

I genuinely cannot imagine it being such a big deal in your life to delete twitter and all other " fun " phone apps and just be normal that you make a video about it

They're just mass surveillance devices that watch and listen to everything you do even when they are off. They also track your every move and use various types of technology from BLE to GPS and geofencing. AI can also use EMF and BLE to see you for over a kilometer 360 degrees...

The one minute try guys cameo is KILLLLLLING MEEEEE hahaha

Thank you, Eddy. I know people say this a lot on the internet, but you actually helped me question my relationship to my phone (I say as I wrote on it) and realizebeen in denial about how addicted I am. I hope you get to keep feeling all the good that came from this project.

Bro do you not have a car

Shhh eddy be quiet the government will hear you
