I’m sorry but not going to trust an author who has a very real financial incentive to sell a hypothesis. There are indeed numerous studies that do summarize the negative impacts of social media and smartphones on mental health, and it’s also extremely true that the increase in mental health diagnosis can also, at least partially, be attributed to an increase in mental health awareness. My ADHD existed well before I got my hands on tech.

EDIT: to summarize, I don’t really take issue with your comment, but I believe that you can find an even better source of information to link to when discussing this topic. Wishing you well!

I have so many of these blocked lol.

I blocked so many meme communities which helped my ALL feed look better, but then it was filled with political shit. The problem is, any time something controversial happens regarding someone the broader community doesn’t like (elon musk, trump, republicans in general), you have thread after thread after thread of this shit popping up. I don’t care to hear why republican bad, because I already know republican bad. I’m an intellectually curious being with better things to do with my time than hear about the latest political thing.

And then finally as you said, the technology communites can be a bit tiresome, like when there’s a post about every single time a frickin’ library updates.

Same, same.

The US needs to stop shirking their duty, and send the military in

Bro just casually suggested WWIII

I’m talking about the World Happiness Report

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Happiness_Report

Can you explain what makes this “Ipsos” report different than the “World Happiness Report” ? I wanna steal this graphic for later uses if I can understand how to defend it.

Do you think that the Ipsos report is a better measure of happiness?

I’m a bit surprised how Mexico and Brazil show high levels of happiness. But I do understand that (from what I know) it seems like family connections have higher importance in these countries so there is a bigger social safety net.
