• Since starting to teach myself Japanese and exposing myself to Japanese media I wouldn’t normally watch (like actual news and not just anime), I have seen this exact thing happen multiple times. It’s like a game of Telephone, but with world events.

    Dont worry, its “outside of work” so your employers can still make you sit in that cubicle for 13 hours

    Unfortunately the demon is already out of the box, I doubt there’s any way to stop our addiction to our screens.

      Every time I see a generic “phone bad” post I can’t help but remember the good times where people lived in the moment and connected with each other.

      Not a cell phone in sight, beautiful…

        City people have always been snobs who thought they’re too good to stop and smell the roses.

            You think people are grabbing their phones to use every 5 min? I pick it up constantly just to swipe it on, then put it back in my pocket. That’s all I’m getting at…

              And this isn’t the first time a technological advancement in information sharing has been the subject of old men yelling at clouds

              That’s all I’m getting at

                I didnt see how stating being addicted to screens is me yelling “technology bad”, but I guess in hindsight I can see it now how it could have been perceived that way, Fair enough.
