ADHD is definitely a possibility. I have it and can relate to those issues. However stress, anxiety and fatigue can also cause problems like this without there being an underlying condition like ADHD. Definitely agree on seeking professional help though, if that's possible.

For a while there I thought "moved to Belarus" was going to become the new "fell from a window", but I guess they've decided to stick with tradition.

I miss mid-90s IRC. That was far more social than any ‘social’ media I’ve experienced since.

In my experience, influencers are people who:

• destroy natural monuments and works of art for attention
• play cruel pranks on others for attention
• present a completely false image of themselves and their lives
• constantly demand special treatment while offering nothing in return

And about a million other things I can’t think of right now.

In short, they’re among the most awful people around. You really don’t need a more insulting term.

The first person reaching $1B in personal wealth.

“Shitto” is a real name in Zimbabwe.

Wouldn't want them anywhere that is prone to earthquakes - the entire Pacific rim, for example.

St Patrick

I’d say Infosys is probably doing them a favour.

YouTube’s algorithm is weirdly prone to fixation, and quite hard to train out of habits.

My bane is ASMR videos. I watched a couple of vids on physiotherapy a few years back and that’s it. The ASMR crowd had been all through the comments and I guess that was enough for the algorithm to make the link. Now it won’t let go no matter how many times I hit “not interested”.

I refuse to look up anything food related in case I end up with mukbang all through my feed.

Don’t Google that, by the way. You’re better off ignorant.

+1 for the extinction of racists and pro-slavery types.

$10 says it wouldn’t show on the screenshot anyway.

Right up there with Ctrl-X, C and V for Xut, Copy and Vaste respectively.

That's commerce, not capitalism.

I wouldn't object to paying if:

1. Their pricing was more reasonable
2. A fairer cut went to content creators
3. They had something that actually qualified as a search function on their site
4. They weren't trying to bully everyone into paying

I recently had to talk a designer out of implementing a “webpage progress indicator” that was a thin horizontal bar across the top of the page that filled in as you progressed through the content.

And just straight up broken by idiocy like infinite scroll.

Don’t know, but it did come across as a very one sided perspective.

Worse. It’s “attempting to understand this might cause me to question my faith, so I’m not going to even try.”

Ahh, if only I had such control over a company assigned machine.
