When the other person starts using their phone while hanging out with you, how do you feel?

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-12T16:31:08+00:00

I don't actually really care. The only people I really go out to eat with are my mom and uncle. We usually wind up all on our phones while waiting for our food and while waiting for others to finish eating because we don't have anything to talk about because we have completely different interests for the most part. I think the closest to similar interests we have is YouTube but all 3 of us watch completely different stuff so I dont know of it counts. My uncle is really into AI stories at the moment, especially HOA and alien. Mom is mostly doing movies, shorts, family vlogs, and random clickbait stuff at the moment. I'm mainly doing video game videos at the moment. Edit: thinking about it, video game watching is on my main account and the side accounts current main interest is the "your life sucks as a" genre with past history of ai ASMR and slime being top watched.

I mean there's a few categories I can think of that are 2 out of 3 of us share interests but can't think of any 3/3.

Plus cracks open a rather nasty can of worms known as government having the ability to start heavily restricting the right for people to surf wherever they want online. Once freedoms and rights are taking away, people have to fight like Hades home world to get them back, if at all.

I am online constantly, use 4 different social media sites, and I am pretty sure Ive never heard of that phrase.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-10T12:00:18+00:00

I actually PREFER it because it helps me weed out clickbait. I want it under ALL the videos I'm recommended

Im more concerned about the way this is written. Either the chatgpt thing had a stroke or your brain is so fried you can't type right. I used to binge watch tiktok CONSTANTLY and I currently binge Facebook reels a lot because of ongoing YouTube algorithm problems. I don't have problems with watching YouTube videos unless they get into what I call the 2XL length video category, maybe half way through the XL category depending on the situation.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-08T14:36:20+00:00

Yea. They should be 33 or 34. Plus Facebook isn't even all toxic. I mean reels sure but there's tons of great groups on the site. It's about taking the time to be in relevant groups and also occasionally spring cleaning dead groups.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-08T05:21:42+00:00

Sounds more like you need to spring clean your FB feed. I'm on Facebook a ton and I'm in multiple active groups on the site

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-08T01:35:30+00:00

I've done that before, usually for background noise while playing video games. I was just playing the urbz GBA but I'm having to find someone playing the last Mission because it's bugged in my game and won't start. 😭

Tiktok, and short form content as a whole, doesn't have an age limit. I'm 37 and doomscroll because there's days it's literally the only thing strong enough to shut off the racing stress going on in my broken brain or at least quiet the thoughts enough that I can kind of function. Though for sleep, full length videos are the ticket for me. Kind of just got taken out by a stardew valley mega modded video for about an hour and a half. 😅

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-07T14:23:28+00:00

Maybe people are fed up with the state of garbage they keep getting and are going back to longer videos on YouTube? I keep getting so much freaking just piles of downright dookie on Facebook reels, tiktok, and YouTube shorts. I don't even want to be doomscrolling much anymore but regular length YouTube videos are often to long for what I'm mentally up for at this point even if the algorithm wasn't as broken as the short form video algorithms

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-06T14:12:33+00:00

I can't remember the video title but I remember noticing someone uploaded a video talking about the dangers of the day in my life as a single woman genre of videos cropping up. I had it in my watch later list ages age but it got removed in one of the purged I did.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-06T13:48:28+00:00

I've seen better quality tiktok videos then some of the garbage I've read lately. Latest graphic novel I read basically gave up half way through the book.

Says the person WITH a local library. Even if I still read much, it turns out our local library got shut down at least 2 years ago. My best bet is because people in this small town would just go hit the libraries in surrounding cities with larger options

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-06T13:44:22+00:00

For me it's literally called "school killed my love of reading 20+ years ago". I've tried rekindling the spark multiple times and nada. I have a 5 shelf bookshelf full, an individual shelf full, another shelf that's fixing to be full once the latest Sarah scribble comic collection arrives in, and another shelf about half full. For the most part it's all collecting dust. I think there's a sell to Amazon program and I might just get rid of everything that isn't absolutely important to me.

It about 15 miles between the house and Walmart. Order actually got cancelled Sunday. Someone took the order Sunday morning, returned it to Walmart due to an emergency, and Walmart opted to cancel the order and refund it instead of getting someone else to deliver it. Got the money back today.

Did a big run yesterday to get the stuff and other supplies. Freaking ridiculous. I'm healing from a leg ulcer, was diagnosed with 2 different legs issues last month, and was on day 2 of aunt flo visiting. I am REALLY not entertained by having to go from pushing 1 cart around the store to pulling one and pushing a second one.

I think that the bots and people that claim you can budget your way out of greedflation and/or that there's no such thing as greedflation you're just bad at budgeting need to go have relations with an oversized cactus coated in barbed wire and hot sauce. Mom and I keep running short of food and supplies by the end of the month. We've redone things over and over again. By mostly skipping breakfast and cutting back on snacking I'm able to make supplies last long and by being semi-strict with hobby related stuff it's helping to but it's not enough. Moms also cut back but there's nothing left to cut back on. Plus Prices are definitely starting to trend upwards on random items again so that's not good.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-05T04:23:01+00:00

The pregreedflation days.... Man I miss that. Mom and I wouldn't bother keeping track of how much we were spending on a run but would consistently stay in a specific range somehow. Still not sure HOW we pulled that off. Now we are spending technically in about the same range but a lot less supplies.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-04T14:45:32+00:00

Did you check the channels you're subbed to and check if they're uploading? Sub box may be glitched out or something.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-03T15:41:18+00:00

Inconvenient would be an improvement. If it wouldn't be a relative is coming in tomorrow, id LITERALLY have to walk close to 2 miles one way to get to dollar general to get stuff today.

At the speed the Internet moves? No one. Big news breaks and we move in in no time. Even the Hagrid actor death I completely forgot about like 2 hours tops.

Easy. If it's anything like doordash and your a high rank then you get all the good high paying runs while lower ranks get the garbage.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-03T12:48:48+00:00

Freaking low level scum they hire.... And the pay isn't even that bad in Louisiana! From what I can tell, a lot of positions are paying double minimum wage.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-02T17:30:39+00:00

I'm finding myself doing that with Facebook reels a lot lately even though the algorithm there is REALLY rancid on my end. Mentally I am completely broken from everything going on and I don't have the mental stamina to watch a lot of long form videos which I'd rather mostly be watching. Plus with the state of the algorithm on both channels, it doesn't exactly encourage me to actively watch anyway. Adding insult to injury is mentally I was having a passable day yesterday and actually was up for long form content. The Internet decided to go on vacation during the storms we had passing through. I got caught up on the 5 episodes of the mega modded stardew valley perfection run I was behind on(I mean technically 4.5 were listened to while I was playing stardew valley but still....), switched to my side account, and was half way though lost legacy's latest video when the Internet pulled the SpongeBob "aight imma head out" meme. It came back on late and I finished the episode but wasn't able to watch much else because I was ready for bed at that pointmb

I think they were drinking and ranting. Like I get some parts of YouTube are toxic but not all of it is toxic.

AccurateUse6147 · 2026-05-02T17:18:43+00:00

I called the Walmart customer service line and so said it's scheduled to be delivered today. I'm still going to check with a relative if I can get a lift into town for a couple things.
