Fair enough, but endless feeds and short form videos are also widely regarded as dangerous to mental wellbeing, so I agree with them on that point.

But I'm more interested in getting people away from the adtech platforms, so also happy to see decentralised alternatives pop up.

The great thing about decentralised social media is I'll always have my anti dark pattern folks in one corner or other.

Oh that is a great and altogether unique suggestion, thanks!

Might be challenging to scare myself before going to the morning market, but maybe for evening hangouts

Me

Has anyone managed to break out of this habit? I want to be more social, communal, but it seems to go against my natural proclivities

Smells like an anti-editorial absolutist. Wow so objective. Much truth.

Wtf is wrong with being biased against out and proud fascists.

It's true kitchen water tastes better than bathroom water I don't make the rules

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have an oral fixation rofl. No shame in it I'm the same. I'm always sipping bevs and sucking on lozenges. Had to quit vaping for my mental health, but boy did I ever used to love vaping too.

Hey I brought some of those for my diabetic aunt one holiday, and now I get them for myself all the time.

What is this Water Place 😳

Wow I can get pretty up there but you are the real beverage goblin.

I feel somewhat superior that I can say I only have a water next to me at the moment, though very often I'll also have a morning tea, afternoon tea, or sleepy tea

An excellent philosophical question, that we all ask ourselves at some point - why do we play?

I'll answer your question with one of my own: what is productive labour for after all? To allow for more productive labour?

I could cite some evolutionary hypotheses about how we came to enjoy play and beauty for their own sake, but that doesn't tell you what we ought to value.

For my own part I think thoughtfully maximising life's pleasures is a good goal (though I would rank diminishing pain as higher priority).
