So, uh, I don’t know how to tell you this, but it sounds like you’re an addict. You should consider taking days off from your phone. Like, 100% powered off. The false sense of urgency your phone provokes destroys your productivity and makes you less happy. You gotta unlearn that reflex.

I mean it can definitely be both. Speaking from personal experience, and most people ive known with adhd, it tends to make you way more prone to addictive behaviours.

I urge you all; just watch one screen. Its all you have attention span for anyway, and youre just gonna end up unsatisfied trying to do both at once.

If you’re on your phone I’m not telling you what happened and it’s not getting rewound.

In that case we’re only watching really good, full attention required stuff, no light fluff

Absolutely. Many shows need to pad to 43 mins to fill an hour with ads, and it’s mostly wank

They have not. Media conglomerates take advantage of the fact that our surviving ancestors saw the suddenly appearing saber toothed tiger before the ones that didn’t.
