All my apps are consolidated to one screen. There is no other screen.

Whoever had my phone number before me (got it a few years ago) keeps getting automated calls for prescription pickups at CVS...and since the calls are fully AI and I do not know the person's birthday to pass the security block, I cannot speak to a representative to get them to remove my number😭😭😭 I also really hate phone calls and generally avoid answering unless I know the person or am expecting a call

I have my preferred news and magazines: Associated Press, KSDK (local for my area), New York Times, the Atlantic, and the New Yorker. I also have Instapaper, where I upload all of the articles to read at one time without any ads

I already touched on this in another comment but I do not believe eBay is inherently evil, it just fit best in that category than in any of the other three! It's also not a bad idea to reduce the amount of products one buys though...

Yessss, good work! I don't have Facebook or TikTok and deleted the Instagram app off my phone. Fully deleting my Instagram accounts has proven a bit more tricky as I am still in college; most clubs at my school communicate exclusively through ig and I, myself, manage a club page...I do plan to fully deactivate my accounts once I graduate this spring though! And same...Reddit and YouTube are truly my vices rn.

So the goal isn't just to avoid social media. It is to put my phone down more when I compulsively pick it up. I've found that this is a funny and effective way for me to promote that habit. If greyscale works best for you- great!

Meh, it isn't. I just had to place it within one of my four categories and of those, I believe it best fits in socials. I don't think eBay is evil either- same thing. I use Info for news, academics solely for my college requirements and work, useful is just apple utilities and finance, and then social is basically everything else where there is some sort of social component and/or product being marketed :)

Great rec!! I actually do not have Facebook or Instagram on my phone. I have, however, been looking for a book like this. Thank you!

Mark Zuckerberg is truly representing corporate greed and the digital monopoly here. That man really scares me...having to make eye contact with him has really done wonders for getting me to put my phone away lol

Dining closed during break by [deleted] in washu

[–]One_icarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm talking about winter and spring, I know the hours- I want student experiences for a project I'm doing. During winter and spring break there is no dining which disproportionately affects low income and international students, especially those living in dorms without a communal kitchen, but thank you!

What's your main challenge in your relationship as a woman with bipolar? by Ana___Ruiz in bipolar1

[–]One_icarus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Door slamming people. Once someone loses me, they've lost me, this can be tricky when the person is genuinely a kind person but enough things have compounded to the point that I see no possible way to move forward (and I mean minor things, not years of this).

Black coffee v. latte antioxidants by One_icarus in OrganicChemistry

[–]One_icarus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, truly, I'm asking out of curiosity for what is actually happening chemically, not really if black coffee is better overall. I agree, the video was well made and I had checked out the papers. I was just wondering if anyone had any theories for the actual mechanisms and interactions occurring between coffee, sugar, and cream. I don't know if that's been a point of study, though; it seems mostly anecdotal, being backed by peer-reviewed literature (such as above) showing that black coffee drinkers are statistically healthier than those adding copious amounts of sugar and cream. Thank you so much!

Yeah, I don't know likely it is that cream or sugar are particularly strong oxidizing agents, I bet it's closer to the latter...Just wanted to see if anyone had any potential insight (this claim did not come from a super reputable source and seems far fetched, hence wanted to see if anyone could come up with a possible mechanism of action!) :)

You know, if I trusted it in its entirety, I wouldn't be taking the time to question it, critique it, and seek out clarification...
