I mean this in a very non-boomer way, but society is not going in a good direction (hexbear.net)

Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me

Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak

Jesus Christ I genuinely don't know what your problem is. I try to never respond to you because your posting energy really rubs me the wrong way and your 100% commitment to get the last word in no matter what is exhausting, but..

Is this really how you had to respond? You had so many choices. Did you have to assume so many negative things about what I think despite not having any evidence I think those things? Do you really need to choose such a combative tone with a comrade? Did you need to even respond at all?

W/e I'm going back to work fuck this

Agreed. One of my least favorite aspects of this site being so small is the amount of power posters and the debate energy they have.

I also find it ironic that so many users here are going off on smartphones because algorithms and skinner boxes or whatever while having ridiculously active post histories on this platform, which has no profit motive, skinner box behavior, etc, presumably also from a smartphone or some other device.

EDIT: I misread who posted this, so I'm rewriting this reply.

I stand by my position that dismissing ebbs and flows and ups and downs in how society changes with a picture implying "look things were exactly the same" is an extraordinary claim that glaringly lacks extraordinary evidence.
