    Oh I’m not implying, I’m directly stating it.

    If you cannot go 24 hrs, 48 hrs, a week, without using a phone for anything other than making actual phone calls on it, you have a problem and need, at bare minimum, a hobby.

    I’d suggest reading whole books.

    There is so much literature on how massive (especially shortform) social media use destroys your ability to concentrate, lessens your attention span, causes addiction, and is intentionally designed to cause addiction.

    Its literally come out in court, fairly recently.

    If you can’t hit pause on this on your own, yeah, you need help.

    At this point, I don’t know where that help is going to or should come from, but I know an addict when I see one.

    Because I am one.

    I’m addicted to nictoine, I start getting real pissy around the 24 hr cold turkey mark.

    I certainly would count myself amongst those who would need actual help to actually quit.

    Difference here being, my nicotine habit isn’t and wasn’t tolerated or accepted in public school, I did that shit to myself, a decade afterward, as a legally/socially self responsible adult.
