I guess, yeah I hadn't thought about it in exactly those terms.

Is this like a reverse Turing test?

It used to be much worse. I remember being excluded from group chats in high school because of the color of the chat bubble for android was different or some shit lol

I kind of felt this way about Goblin Slayer. I think that's the one, anyway.

That's fair. The more "engaging" something is, the more its effects may mirror that of something "addicting". I'm also thinking about how engagement is a factor of addictive marketing.

The end result though, for me at least, is the same. If I'm engaged in my book, or addicted to my phone, I'm still sitting motionless, staring at a thing, and reading. The difference I suppose is on how hard it is to look away.

I'm glad this is the only social media I really use!

same. There is one windows computer still in this house and it's unplugged. Everything else is Linux, Android, or FreeBSD based.

I'll have to look into it. 30GB isn't bad at all. I think I have unlimited now with text and phone for only like $10 more a month. I'd have to look, it's been a while since i've dealt with it.

I'm likely going to go to t-mobile as they're cheap from what I understand and they make up a big part of the network that google leases, along with (i think) US Cellular, or something similar.

That said, I've got about a year to decide, unless someone decides to hire me and then I can pay my phone off early.

the elastic is stretchy enough i just stick it in my waistband if I'm home in my undies and for some reason can't just use my hand to hold it or put it on a surface of some kind.

I dated a girl once who was amazed by the "pocket" in my boxer-briefs until she found it it was actually just the weird hole thing they put in the front that acts as a fly.
