look, we all love social media around here. and i bet when you think of x or meta the first things that come to mind are connecting with old friends and family, sharing pictures with your grandma, that kind of thing. but maybe there are downsides? im not sure what those downsides would be but nothing is all good or all bad so there must be something there lurking under the surface

the problem with social media is that you can learn cool things like new recipes and skills that have real-world application the bad thing is that you actually have to get up and do these things, but instead people just slip into depression over using their time less productively than the person in the video truly a conundrum.

I can sometimes absolutely feel the thing where I am doom scrolling and I want to stop but it just doesn't happen, I can tell I am not really enjoying it and that it's a waste of time, but it keeps happening.

I keep entertaining the analogy that social media is to society what teenage drinking sort of is like to high schoolers. you think it’s cool, got no incentive for moderation, and it can really gently caress some poo poo up from not having a good sense of what your limits or the boundaries ought to be
