A hundred percent, but the fact remains that journalists have a very hard time supporting themselves in their profession. A job that is critical (when done well) to an informed public.

It must be depressing knowing you could just take a TypeScript React bootcamp and probably double salary in a year. Like, journos have an important job. It’s just not lucrative, despite its value to people/society.

Just do your best.

I loved it and didn’t finish it either, only I don’t even have an excuse. Maybe I just got stuck.

I thought this about myself and then I watch some old shit like Seven Samurai and I am sitting up straight eyes wide taking it all in.

This mental checklist of things that point to me having adhd is growing uncomfortably large. Is there anything that can point to someone not having adhd?

Legitimately, when I was quitting nicotine, I would scroll on my phone when I was getting withdrawal pangs, and it helped.

Nowadays I have to watch myself, or else I’ll potentially lose hours. I know exactly what addiction feels like: going without and satisfying what feels like a need - it feels right. And these apps are definitely addictive. I didn’t really notice until I tried to stop.

I felt this way with instagram. My phone can barely handle the web app and you can’t even replay the video without an account. Truly garbage UX

Haha yeah, I remember we disagreed on something, but now I can’t remember what. Can’t have been too fundamental, anyway – see you around!

That sounds very healthy.

Oh hey sugar_in_your_tea - I’m starting to recognize you from a couple of other comment threads in this community :)
