… or maybe I have 6 hours to kill?
Would you look at someone reading a book and be like "it's so disturbing that people are this addicted"? Is something Internet connected really that different?
(That said these days I'm thrilled if there is power on a flight.)
- fdghrtbrt 7mo agoIt IS different. Because scrolling is effortless, reading a book takes effort. Do you understand?
- jryle70 7mo agoI suppose you'd approve if I read book on the internet? What if I'd be working?
- fdghrtbrt 7mo agoYou don't need my approval. Someone was asking how I view these things, and I was explaining: reading a book is effort, scrolling facebook is effortless. Now, keeping in mind that you don't need my approval: do you have any questions?
- bogdan 7mo agoAre you on the spectrum by any chance?
- fdghrtbrt 7mo agoNo, but I understand why you ask. I just refuse to engage with certain figures of speech because I don't want to contribute to normalizing them. Don't say "would you approve if" if that's not what you mean. Say "what is your opinion on" or "what's your view on" or "how do you think about" or "how does that compare to" because that's what you actually mean. I'm not on the spectrum, but I think that when it comes to many things, language included, simpler is better. As simple as possible, but not simpler.

- panick21_ 7mo agoMaybe you don't know this, but there is much more on the internet then social media ...
- deathanatos 7mo agoThe above statements weren't conditioned on "scrolling". … even then, I struggle to see what's so wrong with someone just trying to distract themselves from the hell that is flying.
