is this an Echo issue or are these people unwitting members of a botnet?

I kind of felt this way about Goblin Slayer. I think that's the one, anyway.

I hope she suffers when she dies.

That's fair. The more "engaging" something is, the more its effects may mirror that of something "addicting". I'm also thinking about how engagement is a factor of addictive marketing.

The end result though, for me at least, is the same. If I'm engaged in my book, or addicted to my phone, I'm still sitting motionless, staring at a thing, and reading. The difference I suppose is on how hard it is to look away.

I'm glad this is the only social media I really use!

the elastic is stretchy enough i just stick it in my waistband if I'm home in my undies and for some reason can't just use my hand to hold it or put it on a surface of some kind.

I dated a girl once who was amazed by the "pocket" in my boxer-briefs until she found it it was actually just the weird hole thing they put in the front that acts as a fly.

honestly, among other things, they say things like "cope and seethe" lmao

I get that you were being satirical but it didn't translate well to me either haha

Books weren't designed to be addictive and make you lose track of time.

Maybe not all books, but a good book is, to me, quite addictive and causes me to lose track of time.

After reading the article though, I'm realizing I'm not a typical bathroom user. I've always had digestive issues unrelated to books and cell phones, so my loo time is much longer than average, it seems. I must be one of those 7%.

not to defend smart phones, but I used to read books on the toilet before phones became popular and never had a problem. What's different about a phone?

The rules contradict themselves.

You can't seriously tell me not to take things seriously and then expect me to take not taking things seriously seriously.

lol that guy sucks.
