I guess it took me a very long time to learn that there are people who are absolutely glued to instagram and TikTok the way I am to everything on my phone in general. I also started thinking about how all of the people I’ve met since my junior year of college (2020) have been people I only knew online, then I transitioned to work which is completely online, and here I am, still meeting more people online through dating apps, discord, instagram, and TikTok. I truly can’t grasp the absurdity of it all, I am living a cyberpunk reality (and I know I’m not the only one).
For the longest time, I thought to myself “Nah everyone else still goes out and meets people, I’m one of the weird ones.” But then I went outside. And I saw people doing what I’m doing right now in the comfort of my own home.
Makes total and complete sense why billionaires invested so highly in crypto and the metaverse. It’s actually another form of class war but applied to the digital realm 🙃
How much longer until we can consider technology, which should’ve been nothing other than a tool, as the new opiate of the masses
To be honest some of the memes even shared on here make me go
because I don't live on twitter.
Dude it is so fucking wild. Like a different reality entirely
Makes me feel a lot better though, I thought it was a personal failing on my part, but I’m truly just doing the same thing-going about my life while occasionally checking an obscure leftist forum instead of twitter or instagram
