Why the UK is going on the anti porn crusade?

It’s so stupid.

I feel big screen is slightly better than looking at my phone all the time. Like putting on a movie or show makes me focus on one thing at a time, and when I want to go bed, the sounds of the natural doc I have on make me go to sleep fast. I know people recommend no blue light at all, but for me, it’s better to pick something slightly less bad, imo. I’m all for TV in the bedroom.

There’s real people to talk to and the quality of conversation are much better.

Commafeed it’s great

I love taking a nice long soak with some Epsom salt. Melts all the stress away.

YT music is way better than Spotify. But some AI stuff is reccomeded .I haven’t used Spotify in probably almost a decade. I used to use Play music back in the day and got in the habit of downloading albums and uploading them I used a different service since google nuked play music and revived in as yt music.

But downloading and building your own music library you cultivate is the only way to vett music sources and ensure you aren’t listening to slop

american laws and policy choices are always bonkers

I think it’s a combination of many things from social media, to the lackluster economy.

In many ways technology has made us less human and less tolerable of other people. We are becoming like the humans from Wall-E where they are content to eat and watch slop all day, even losing the ability to walk and think because the machines can do it for them. We are becoming mean, self absorbed blobs!

All this technology has made our lives so frictionless and easy. Everything can be done with our phones that in many people’s minds humans are “obsolete”. Which I disagree with, but I’m not better too. I struggle with making friends and maintaining connections, it’s so hard but it’s something I would want to change as well. I guess it’s just a sign of the times, and zoomers, hell other generations too need to try our hardest to connect with our fellow humans.

I was on sub stack and some put it perfectly: " We must resist the pull of the machine." And that’s the struggle being human today and why making human connection is so hard. Our machines are so designed to be so alluring that we must fight against it to stay human.

I just bought my oneplus (which I love) but I wish I didnt need to charge headphones anymore.

I never had a dishwasher growing up. When I moved into my current home and It had a dishwasher, I thought it was dumb, till I started using it… But I do a little bit of both, on the days where I am super lazy and let the dishes pile up, I would put them in the dishwasher just to get them clean, but on the days where I am truly responble adult, I would just take the 5-10 minutes to wash the little bit of dishes by hand. So in short, both.

I just think of it as chilling doing something fun. Doing your hobbies without your phone near should reduce the urge to “make content”. But also realizing that the juice is sometimes just not worth the squueze, I mean, you could try, but doing something for the sake of doing it out of enjoyment is what helps me do my hobbies.

Why google is doing this? I just want to download apps from F-Driod. I just want to install software on a device that I own!

Im no better 😂😂

Or maybe it’s the phone 😆

Yep it’s such a fragile situation

I’m the same with reading novels! It’s so hard for me to situate things because I don’t see images while reading! I found out that’s called antaphasia!

Those are some good hobby ideas! I’m going to get back into drawing and doing urban sketching to get out of the house more and join some local urban sketcher meet ups.

I tried lifiting and I didn’t enjoy it! But I’m going to try it again or something that seems more fun! I was looking some things up, and kettlebells seem like alot of fun, swing and all, lol! So I’m going to look into that more and see if there are any classes.

I never really considered that IRL is just as brianrot as online! And in some ways it makes sense! Like people spend alot of their time online as is, so I’m not surprised that people’s behaviors today are at a minimum influenced by online media and such. It’s a vicious collective action problem! I dunno how to change the sisuation but I’m going to be doing more hobbies and things not on a screen, that’s for sure, lol!
