Bravo, deleting social media will definitely put a dent in their bottom line when everyone catches on that it's bullshit anyway. I want a fucking king size snickers, not a mini snickers.
Misteraven's post about the IOS screentime app reminds me of something that I do that pisses people off pretty regularly. I treat my phone like it's a tool that I use when I want to use it.... and that's not very often. I mute it quite a bit and don't check it for hours. I leave it in the car when i go places that I will be walking around because, you know.... I checked how to get where I was going before I got there and don't need to be buried in GPS while I'm walking. This leads me to another thing that absofuckinglutely gets under my skin. People walking looking at their phone should be just as illegal as driving w/ the phone. I don't want to have to navigate around you because you're too dumb to look where you're going in crowds. Also, a more street conscious person with less morals than me might just snatch your shit and you will have 0 chance of catching them because you're an internet nerd that only uses this fantastic tool for cat pictures and social media. In any case, try ignoring your phone, leave it at home sometimes. I forget mine on my coffee table sometimes and realize as I'm already a mile from the house that I forgot my phone and guess what..... I choose to not turn around and get it because it's not a necessity. There is no "emergency" where someone needs to get ahold of me and if I have an emergency there are plenty of ways to get help without using your own phone.
I'm a tech guy that hates tech. I have a very full bookshelf at home and need more room because I want more books.
