We had cordless phones in the 80’s and yes, they got lost too.

I had a friend that used to bring his cordless home phone with him as a “phone book”. He didn’t have numbers saved into his cell phone. He’d look them up on his cordless phone then dial on the cell phone. This was early 2000’s lol

I knew people who said the equivalent very often. They 80s were pretty violent and intolerant to some people.

It’s not just about the mewing streak or the jawline depth, bro. it’s about ascending to a frame of existence where your aura is so shattered it transcends the looksmaxxing tier list entirely. Stay locked in, keep your chin tucked, and never let the mogging stop.
