Spent a morning out on the town on my day off, and everyone is just fucking buried in their phones 24/7. This realization was so absurd to me

Of course I’m not exempt from this shit, but no wonder people are having so much trouble making friends and creating meaningful relationships in this day and age. So fucking bleak

      Yeah, I'm pretty sure that screen time and internet access restrictions on minors like China is imposing are probably the way forward, but they'll never happen in the West because the social media oligarchs control the government.

          IMO this kind of reflexive and unconditional individualism is one of the core causes of Western social rot.

            Yup turns out having a majority of your population think "it's me verses society" isn't great for that society.

            Extra hilarious how Americans will tell you about how it's a part of Chinese culture to fuck other people over to get ahead as they raise millions of people out of poverty every year.

            Meanwhile in America people don't support universal Healthcare because other people might benefit from it.

              Do people on Hexbear post that stuff unironically? I think I've only seen it dunked on.

                The "homework is slavery" struggle session was particularly embaressing.
