idk about short-form video being bad for your brain (deffo willing to believe it), but how TikToks repeat gives me anxiety, for some reason. if my partner is looking at the comments of one, or even worse making one, i can feel something inside me wind tighter and tighter with each restart

Well yes. But any one posting here or reading a forum are extremely not who the Internet is for. It's a strange accident of history that this place still exists.

quote:

After so many times, I just need to give up on expecting taxis to be at the airport. It doesn't matter if it is late like 11pm and just in the evening at 6pm, it's an ongoing struggle to get a car from the airport at all (for a reasonable price)
UBER and LYFT drivers will cancel if the fare is too low, meaning that it's $100+ to get to the city. The airport information desk said it's an ongoing problem (but they can't help) Was told, regularly, it's $180 to get from airport to town if anything is going on.

This is a 20 minute drive. There's a bus that runs the route regularly for $2.75 but it isn't advertised and apparently the Google Maps app pushes people towards Uber

Why aren't you rich enough to already own a car with a driver at every possible airport you might fly to (on your private jet).

If you can't pass that extremely low bar then maybe flying isn't for you.

Being unable to maintain your attention span for more than five minutes at a time (if that) is a problem, especially in the context of being unable to read anything longer than a tweet or being unable to watch a whole movie in a single sitting without breaking out your phone, but TikTok specifically isn't the problem so much as the panoply of stimulus we're exposed to and have easy access to.

But also, maintaining your attention span is a skill, and it can be redeveloped

I was going to joke about Biden emptying the strategic cheese reserve and then I learned that a) it exists b) it was privatized in the 80s and c) it is instead growing because milk production is increasing while consumption drops (another thing millennials are ruining).

I rarely use search or discover on Instagram and when I did I idly clicked on a photo of a hot woman with her hands clasped behind her head. Then one more in the same pose because she was also hot. The algorithm now thinks I have a thing about armpits and has shown a wall of pit shots whenever I open the search tab.
