Social media is a terrible for us. Me included. It’s addictive - that’s why I’m here.
If that is how you feel I encourage you to start from a position of curiosity about what draws you here beyond a simple thought terminating comparison to an addictive physical substance or our sex drive.
It’s the combination of an individualized engagement algorithm and user-generated content that defines modern social media.
This is precisely what is supercharging this moral panic, people don’t automatically think critically about this and will bandwagon on social media = bad because it feels righteous and is easy unless WE force a more nuanced conversation.
You are bad at arguments.
No, when you just say social media = bad you feed into the moral panic with your intellectual laziness.
Try harder with formulating your arguments please.
Ok so sounds like the problem isn’t actually social media then?
Rather it is a question of the choices we make about the architecture and design of social media.
Why are you here then?
I hope Australian kids annoy adults enough that this moral panic about social media dies from adults just giving up because kids resort to even more annoying behavior, that would be poetic justice.
Hard disagree, everyday life is full of defused accidental escalations because pointless escalations benefit no one.
It is the same with animals and humans.
I think the fact that there isn’t a good way I think escalates a lot of otherwise defusable road rage situations.
As a form of protest create README txt files everywhere that say things like “I wish I was using linux” and “friends don’t let friends use windows”.
Furry-A Transfem
There are a whole series of Furry Transfems but this one was very important so it was named the Furry-A.
Furry-B is the Furry Transfem focused on helping giving people free benefits to boost them along.
Furry-C Transfem, usually just called “C-Furry” for short, is the Transfem focused on moving people back and forth over open ocean.
Dumbasses, that is why they chose a snake as their symbol, to remind each other to always train on jaw flexibility every time they eat precisely so this wouldn’t happen.

Also sucking dick is great, don’t insult such a giving act by associating it with those who never give.
If I’d known this, I’d have put it in my review! Thanks for sharing!!!
Just to be clear, this is basically a guess but feel free to add it if you want, if I am right I didn’t come up with it, it was just lost in translation.
True, I recommend an xbox x/s controller and this cheap but great mount the power a moga clip 2.
$10 clip + a used xbox controller + your phone and you have a gyro capable (your phone) mobile gaming system with probably the best gamepad ever.
I don’t think this takes the place of a gadget like the Brick Hammer but I do HEAVILY recommend going this route first as you likely already have an adequate phone and xbox controllers are cheap and plentiful on the used market (and their only real achilles heel is they don’t have gyro… which your phone solves).
note this clip uses the model 1914 xbox controller to be precise, xbox controller names are so stupid… but also this clip is $10, who cares, fold some post-it notes/cardstock up a bunch and jam em in there and you can make a different controller work if it is a similar shape and size
but what happens if we change on it afterwards…
A stonemason’s hammer, also known as a brick hammer, has one flat traditional face and a short or long chisel-shaped blade.[1] It can thus be used to chip off edges or small pieces of stone, cut brick or a concrete masonry unit, without using a separate chisel. The chisel blade can also be used to rapidly cut bricks or cinder blocks. This type of hammer is also used by geologists when collecting rock and mineral samples and is one of several types of geologist’s hammer.

They named it after an Estwing! Badass.
I think the name might have to do with the idea of a “traditional face married to a cutting edge” which is actually pretty clever.
What You See Is What You Get we mumble to ourselves, a mantra we remember the words to but have forgotten the meaning of.
In the end we all have a point
I think most people agree but when we slip into trashing social media as a concept and lose the nuance I get concerned.
