I turned 30 half a year ago. I was a gamer all my life (got my first console with 5 that forced me to learn how to read). We got our first internet connection in 2003 or 2004, where I spent hours on blogs and such. I got addicted to Minecraft from 2012-2013 and to YouTube from around 2013 until 2015, but it was long term content back then, like 30-60 minute videos of full concentration, multiple videos on the same topic. I got fit and a gym rat from 2017-2019 (switched to iPhone), then I got the Samsung Fold and the android ecosystem made me game more again (emulators, docked on tv, mostly rom hacks). Then I got back to iPhone and with the loss of gaming I got social media addicted. First Reddit, which wasn’t that bad, but after the API-changes I ditched it and short form video content filled my free time. I got into meditation, more specific the focus on my own body, and somehow didn’t feel the need for those videos anymore. But when I failed a test at work, it broke me and since then I can’t get into meditation anymore. Heck, I‘m spending about 3-4 hours a day on short form video content…

Edit: my SIL is 20 years old and experienced fhat right after school. Gotta need to ask my cousin, she‘ll be 13 this summer

Yes. It is due to doomscrolling and such. Our minds can’t create new memories, because it needs at least 15 seconds of mental concentration on a single topic to do so, so it all just blends together. We also receive a month worth of new stuff in a single day, this overloads our brain. Most people who weren’t addicted to TikTok before COVID but then got caught in the TikTokification of everything else feel a strong cut between pre- and post-COVID.

I for myself have this half year last year where I meditated daily and did not use my phone besides gaming, chatting, calling and hobbies that feels like an eternity. I want to get back into that mindset but so far I’ve failed horribly.

We here in the Apple Garden know that Apple takes all our usage data and trust then that they are used anonymously. But Apple has no access to data when it is encrypted, they even warn you when you encrypt your data that you need to safe the keys yourself, they can only delete everything if you lose them.

I was in a similar situation, but I got a MacBook M1 for literally everything but PC exclusive gaming, and I kept my gaming rig dual booting windows (on the HDD) and Pop!_OS (boots automatically, saved on SSD).

Why did I get a MacBook? I just wanted it. I‘d probably throw SteamOS on the gaming rig one day and use steam-link with an Ethernet cable to stream the games to the MacBook.

And yes, Linux is really easy to use nowadays. I’ve been thinking of throwing a lightweight distro onto my parents laptop. They only use Firefox so they won’t even notice it lol

Wär irgendwie nice wenn die Rechtsanwaltskammern das sponsern würden.

Vielleicht ein Slogan dazu, der die Rechtssituation bekritelt.

The problem isnt the processing, the problem is that making a giant pile of home made chips is hard and time consuming so you probably wont

This is it exactly! Look at noodles! I consider them processed food, and since I got a noodle machine (non-electric) I don’t eat them as often as I used to.

Even if you got the flour at home, it’s still very time consuming. you would think twice if you just throw some potatoes into boiling water or if you risk making your kitchen dirty while hand-making noodles.

Bro they are just making sure that the zombies don’t rot too fast 🧟‍♂️ 🧟‍♀️ 🧟

In my honest opinion, processed things are things that are, through scientific methods, made to be addictive. Like Pringles having the perfect crunch or different chemical compounds of Red Bull (color spot on the bottom). I don’t count cured meat as processed, but I have a hard time calling a pound of deli ham anything but processed.

I‘ve never been banned tbh. I keep my two remaining accounts for hobby and porn free of all things politics.

Nah thank you. Don’t wanna catch those nasty STDs.

I have iCloud premium, using safari and burner mails I can make however many accounts I like!

I’m still on Reddit due to my RC hobby. The community here is too small

The secret is the Elmer’s Glue 🙂

I had my heavy armor silent mage.

Silent fireball sniper.

KBC Void is scary and cool.

Imagine there being just no stars behind you. Just nothing. On one side you see the universe, like a wall of stars and lights, and next to that just pure nothingness. The void.

The taste of British food and the looks of British women made the Britains the best sailors in the world!

I’ve eaten Surströmming and liked it, been eating it once a year ever since. I’ve eaten Beuschl, Narezushi, mite cheese, eel soup, fried insects (pupa, crickets, spiders, scorpions…), snails, brain, testicles… heck I’ve even made the fish finger pie that one British YouTube cooking show lady made (same ingredients but different preparation). You can’t scare me with eels in azpik!

Would it be possible to have telekinesis, and use the telekinesis to fly, like Mewtwo?
