Maybe for the ppl who are not capable just blocking the offending site or unable to control themselves from eating 5 big macs with big gulp in a single sitting.
Yea lets blame twitter , mcdonalds or whatever from stopping ppl from living their lives.
I blocked twitter, FB ect in my router software. Whats such a big deal, i don't understand.
- haswell 5y agoFor sake of argument, let’s for a moment go with your assertion that this only impacts weak minded people (despite plenty of evidence to the contrary). What is your conclusion? “Weak minded” people don’t matter? How do you even define “weak minded”? Alcohol is extremely harmful to alcoholics. I personally don’t have an alcohol problem, but should that imply something about the experience of those who do have alcohol problems? > Yea lets blame twitter , mcdonalds or whatever from stopping ppl from living their lives. It’s funny you mention McDonald’s. Both companies literally have groups of scientists focusing on making their product as addictive as possible. We should absolutely blame these companies - the general consumer doesn’t have a chance against the growth hacking and french fry oil optimization. That doesn’t mean we don’t each have a personal responsibility to ourselves, but we should not underestimate the power of social media and junk food.
