Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It's a symptom of smartphone first internet. I hate it.

Yes, I will book flights and hotels on a computer only. Yes, I will make big purchases on a computer only. I don't have Vine, Twitter, the pictures of food app, or even MySpace for that matter. GTFO with that brainrot.

my phone gets turned off when I'm done work, and weekends. if I leave the house, I turn it on only for music then it's off when I get back home. quick check of messages or whatever before bed, then off. I'm frankly done with portable 24/7 internet.
