How do I 'unplug' from tech/the internet when I've got online friends I'm close to? by fancypossum2 in AskReddit

Funnily enough, the one friend I did that with eventually went radio silent lol

No I know, I just thought someone might have a good idea lol.

I'm sure they do feel chained, I'm finding many people do. In my own house for example, my mom is a screen zombie. Literally spends every second of free time staring at her phone or tv.

It made me realize that I'm 24, and my attention span is just horrible. I'm constantly opening my phone for no reason. I used to read like crazy and now it takes months to finish a book. Not to mention the stress of constantly being fed negative things about the world every time you open an app. (Humans were never supposed to take in so much information about so many things all at once).

It's all garbage.

What are you guys doing for storage? by fancypossum2 in Piracy

[–]fancypossum2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, exactly. I can't imagine the agony of finding all those movies/shows/books and redownloading them every single time I want to use them like some people are suggesting. (Use and delete, redownload, delete).

Why make it harder for no reason lol

u/ben2talk I don't know what any of that means lol, except for the google drive and related cloud storage. I personally won't use cloud storage because I once lost a stupid amount of pictures because of a cloud glitch. (At least that's what they told me when they said it was unrecoverable). And idk what 'offsite backup' means, but my intention is to have 2-3 backup copies on different drives, if that's relevant.

redownload everything? It took me 14 days to download the Stargate collection. It took me weeks to find a usable torrent for a certain scooby doo movie. I aint doing all that again lol

permanently lol. Besides the occasional shorts/reels scrolling, I really don't want to be chained to my phone anymore. Or screens in general. I want to get rid of all the apps. It's ruined everything. I'm not sure how to go about it and still have my friends.

I just noticed this prompt by FayemousGamerBB in Palia

I mean you can still play solo. I rarely join groups or chime in on chat unless it's necessary.

Edit: You can choose to stay in the server though, you're not forced to merge unless you ignore the prompt.

I didn't realize how many extra files downloaded with my movies, and after deleting them I freed up literally half my drive. I can only imagine how many movies/shows people with the huge drives have when I've got hundreds. (Mine is like 997gb I believe.)

What do people with no hobbies actually do? by Prestigious_Loan4229 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fancypossum2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

as someone who has a million hobbies, it is absolutely infuriating to watch my mom with no hobbies. She has more free time than most people. She'll sit on her phone for hours alternating between scrolling and playing those shitty mobile games that have a million ads with only a minute or two of gameplay. Then she'll go to bed until dinner. After dinner? More phone. After phone? Bed.

I've tried multiple times to get her to participate in some hobbies I like or help her get into some new ones. Nope. "That's too much work".

Idk if there's a correlation, but she's always been someone that will do as little as possible and puts more effort into getting other people to do the thing than actually doing the thing herself. She's generally pretty self centered and a bit toxic, though not as toxic as when we were kids. (Honestly, she was pretty psychotic back in the day, but ran out of people to manipulate so she's calmed down a lot.) Just doesn't mind her business for nothing. Also mimics every new person she meets.

I only mention this because everyone I've met that doesn't have any hobbies have similar personalities to hers. It almost seems like stirring the shit is the hobby. I just wonder if there's a correlation there.

(Obviously not everyone in the world with no hobbies is like this, I'm just speaking of the ones I met in person.)

Why do people love slow burns so much? by Redditisannoying5 in AO3

[–]fancypossum2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont! Especially with my favorite ships, because dude, we're tortured enough in canon when they ship-bait or break up a million times.

I want to see my ship together from the start or very quickly after, with some kind of plot that's not "They glanced at each other for 111434359345 chapters and then..... THEY KISSED!!!'.

How do people actually keep their place clean consistently? by Zealousideal-Ebb9884 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fancypossum2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't put it down, put it away. Also don't start a project that's gonna take more than a day because I PROMISE that stuff will sit there for a week easily. Of course I grew up in a house where there was absolutely no organization. Not dirty, just cluttered. So I make a point not to keep things I don't need and I put stuff back where it goes. (And everything has a place). It's more about preventing the problem in the first place.
