And they know that it's much easier and safer to have it provided, rather than have to hunt for it.

No i didn't, that's part of providing a safe environment. Feeding creatures food isn't manipulation, it's providing for their basic needs. If my parents had stopped feeding me, I would have left the house too!

A cat is a domesticated animal and it's obvious that they prefer living in a safe environment, or at least coming home to one, and bonding with their care providers (aka "family").

Books aren't really instant in that way. Plus they're finite, so you don't get hooked on them having a constant new and unexpected dopamine drip. Also i didn't say "distract" I said "escape." There&#x

my mom is 62 and has started taking her ipad to bed every night, it's definitely affecting her sleep and health and she resists any suggestion that it is bad for her. When I was growing up, she didn't even want a TV in the house.

I'll add this. Smartphones give children instant access to instant stimulation, and it gives children access to an escapist fantasy world. Both of those things, if used to self-medicate, will cause mental health issues.

Alcohol and marijuana don't stimulate creativity just because they mitigate stress. And don't quote the Koran at people, no one cares.

"makes out with friends?" There's no comparison between weed and these other drugs. "Trying a joint or two" has no negative repercussions unless you are prone to paranoia or anxiety. But you are describing teens who

Sounds a lot like me. Its a cycle that only you can break. medication might be needed, exercise is mandatory. Computers are overstimulating and you feel empty after because the people you tried to connect with and build things with are gone

I can blame Duolingo for making outsized promises in their marketing. You're making a lot of assumptions about other people. Not everyone is as savvy as you. I know people who used Duolingo to learn French so they could move to Montrea
