Snail running late today…. This digital detox is good for him but bad for the Saloon shitposting..
Yes. Digital detox is important. You mentioned it to me, but in a different way, a few weeks ago. I heard about the addictive qualities of social media, but always thought it was exaggerated until I experienced it myself. I now keep limits on my engagement. It's refreshing and necessary, but it sucks when the snail is late.

I think it really affects our attention spans… beyond the impact of the blue light from screens and sleep disorders, studies around serotonin dependency / addiction are terrifying

I think we all can speak of first-hand experience regarding that, we just don't want to admit it.
Just like real addicts :)
I once said to a friend: "if you can't live a day without your phone, you're addicted." He then got really triggered by it. I felt like that just proved my point but I didn't mention it to not aggravate him more.

I would say that proves a point with his defensiveness… and his short attention span!

Yeah, we're not really friends anymore for similar reasons and situations. He was the kind of person that I would blame to miss a point on purpose just to feel morally superior by arguing against the straw man if I had the balls to tell him that.
However, I once did say "I think that's a straw man argument" and he replied with "sorry that I'm not good in debating."
That was hilarious and very frustrating at the same time, lol.
Or you could say we're just "congratulations, you survived another year"-friends now.

Funny-strating perhaps?
Some people are best left to drift away from our lives..
