No, what I am saying is that social media is actually causing mental health issues including anxiety. If anxiety us at the root of people falling for conspiracies, then consider social media the fertilizer and the field. I haven't hai

Reading that book needs a support group, not a book club. It was strange, I think someone recommended the book to me, I started reading it, and immediately regretted the purchase. Then, by chance watched 'The End of the Tour' an

Lenovo's battery life promises are worthless, I'd confirm with a 3rd party review. My Thinkpad X1 is supposed to have a 9.5+ hour battery life. I have never seen 4, usually 3.5.
