🎰 ...just one more swipe ...
"...joy, when was the last time we had it?
I don't remember cause
all that we do is go backwards,
but that's what you get when
you live in the past
I know we're breathing
but we're not alive,
really, is this the way we wanna die?"

Hey!
Andrew here.
I need to clarify that it's not all aspects of social media that I'm fed up with. In fact, many great and positive things can and do come from online interactions (this site, for instance).
However, the feeds which are engineered to manipulate people into continued engagement,
the constant outrage,
the dopamine hits,
the vicious posturing,
the virtue signaling,
confirmation bias,
image-crafting,
mocking, shaming,
bullying, narcissism...
All of that can go to hell.
Another idea: grab a beer, and a front porch. Talk.
'Your kindness will reward you,
but your cruelty will destroy you.'
-Proverbs 11:17
