  • • Don’t be an asshole

    • everyone just wants to be happy

    • don’t be a burden to anyone

    • look before crossing the streets

    • always assume a bad driver has a reason for this behavior

    • wipe front to back

    • if you can do it right now, do it

    • always assume everyone around you is smearier than you yourself

    • don’t take the blame for everything, but offer to help fixing it

    • if you’re serving anything, always take the different thing or the worst looking thing for yourself






  • Well actually it’s to do something with the stock market and I think the 70s or 80s where they (the money hungry should-be-deads) ditched a law that was implemented during the Great Depression to never have something like that ever again.

    Well, guess what! I’m currently living through my 3rd or 4th economic crisis 👁️👄👁️







  • I turned 30 half a year ago. I was a gamer all my life (got my first console with 5 that forced me to learn how to read). We got our first internet connection in 2003 or 2004, where I spent hours on blogs and such. I got addicted to Minecraft from 2012-2013 and to YouTube from around 2013 until 2015, but it was long term content back then, like 30-60 minute videos of full concentration, multiple videos on the same topic. I got fit and a gym rat from 2017-2019 (switched to iPhone), then I got the Samsung Fold and the android ecosystem made me game more again (emulators, docked on tv, mostly rom hacks). Then I got back to iPhone and with the loss of gaming I got social media addicted. First Reddit, which wasn’t that bad, but after the API-changes I ditched it and short form video content filled my free time. I got into meditation, more specific the focus on my own body, and somehow didn’t feel the need for those videos anymore. But when I failed a test at work, it broke me and since then I can’t get into meditation anymore. Heck, I‘m spending about 3-4 hours a day on short form video content…

    Edit: my SIL is 20 years old and experienced fhat right after school. Gotta need to ask my cousin, she‘ll be 13 this summer


  • Yes. It is due to doomscrolling and such. Our minds can’t create new memories, because it needs at least 15 seconds of mental concentration on a single topic to do so, so it all just blends together. We also receive a month worth of new stuff in a single day, this overloads our brain. Most people who weren’t addicted to TikTok before COVID but then got caught in the TikTokification of everything else feel a strong cut between pre- and post-COVID.

    I for myself have this half year last year where I meditated daily and did not use my phone besides gaming, chatting, calling and hobbies that feels like an eternity. I want to get back into that mindset but so far I’ve failed horribly.
