That's what we call it still right, I'm not old, right? Anyway I'm horribly addicted to ragebait on reddit and despite being permabanned sitewide (can't even make new accounts) I still keep going back to it. It's obviously depressing and angering. It's not fun!

Do you have a pet? If you're able to keep a pet, they're great distractions from the self-inflicted psychological damage from consuming corporate social media

I used to. When I move I plan on getting animals, probably adopt old dogs or have smaller ones who don't need as much walking OR just cats for now (or probably get a large dog and walk them an hour a day anyway lol what's 13 hours instead of my usual daily 12 if I live close enough to work 🤔)
