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

This was my go-to argument for a while. I think it's probably worse that phones have so much brain- rotting content on them, but then again people were probably easier to control when there were only a few papers anyone actually read and got news from. Idk.
