I've been on Reddit for over a decade. But I'm done with that site and want to do something else. What do normal people look at on their phones? Is it all social media? Streaming?

Our government is not interested in curbing the common need to cope. I submit that scrolling is safer than alcohol, tobacco and white supremacy activist meetings, or any frisbee park in Los Angeles.

Were going to cope somehow, and so it's a matter of harm caused on contrast to other means that are accepted and expected by society.

Considering the same government asserted tabletop RPGs, rock and roll, and video games are dangerous, I question the veracity of the source.
