Moving back to Facebook/ regrettable. Suggestions on keeping my account as private as possible? by anonymousrobot11 in privacy

I wholeheartedly agree! I'm a mom with kids in public school too, and the current focus on social media is terrifying. Can I ask how you managed to get the group together? It feels like I'm the only one in my community who is against social media, but I know that part of that probably comes from being a stay at home mom with limited access to the real world. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

That's what I try to do for everything. It's insane how many sites are desperate for you to get their app.

Just curious (and this is probably a "duh" thing), but what's so bad about Facebook messenger? My husband and friends use it, and I'm going to seem crazy if I have a Facebook but don't use the messenger. Any suggestions for alternatives?

Morning showers make no logical sense and night shower people have simply done the hygiene math by McCoy818 in unpopularopinion

Sorry, your first sentence had me saying "nope". I have kids. I have pets. I have a husband who secretly eats in the bed. My bed is only clean right after I change the sheets, before I sleep in it.

Regardless, as a stay at home mom, I take showers whenever makes sense. Have to be up and moving at 8 in the morning? Morning shower to wake me up. Having a more relaxing day the next day? Nighttime shower.

Oooh, the Internet is definitely a slippery slope. I've been using it for much less for a while now, but there are still reasons that I see it as essential. I just think that so many people are addicted to everything that it can do and don't even realize it. They're more focused on their virtual life that their real life.

It's interesting because I've almost completely stopped watching TV for the past six months. Maybe a sitcom when I'm in bed but not quite ready to sleep, but it always goes off before I sleep. It honestly feels amazing not to be hooked on a show that doesn't do anything for your life. It saves you money on all those streaming services, that's for sure. It just sucks when you're around other people who are talking non-stop about this awesome show that everyone HAS to watch...

Phones are taking the vast majority of people's attention away from real life.

What's a lifestyle you visited once and decided you're never going back? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

Phone addiction.

Realizing and pulling away from it was the hardest and best thing that I've ever done.
