I’ll have you know that I haven’t looked at a phone in … -closes eyes- tenvdrgonre.I

This shit happened to me after Hurricane Ivan (2004), nothing new here.

Had just moved here and lived in a house with 4 other guys. 3 of them stayed, or came back, after the storm. We spent 3 wonderful days bullshitting on the porch and otherwise fucking around. My gf came over and we laid on the roof and marveled at the sudden appearance of stars.

The second the power came on those dudes scattered like cockroaches, everyone straight back to their room.

I think my problem has been wanting to multitask while working or eating, etc. And the easiest thing is to browse my phone for something to read or watch, even if on mute, but that doesn’t happen while playing board games, for some reason.

There’s that one coworker of mine with the “sigma grindset” he always complains how kids these days spent so much time on social media.

He’s the only one in my friend group who uses corporate social media and spends his lunchbreak on his phone…

At this point I seriosly don’t know if he’s even serios (he always seems like it), or just doesn’t realize what he’s doing

A lot of social media is addictive. And it has probably gotten worse over time, since the companies that make social media want to make it as addictive as possible.
