Like, she's absolutely using a bit of wordplay and counting on people not knowing the difference between addiction/compulsion here.

So yes, technically, social media is not an addiction. Neither is gambling or masturbation, because there is no physical dependence. Behaviors are compulsions, not addictions. You won't die if you can't scroll your FYP. But that's not how people usually think of addiction.
Taylor Lorenz@TaylorLorenz

“As for social media ‘addiction’ there literally is no such thing. No diagnosis for that. Social media is not remotely the same as alcohol, nicotine, or heroin. There is no such thing as ‘dopamine hits’ which is merely pseudo-science sounding garnish on a load of served-up crap” grimoiremanor.substack.com/p/the-meta-tri…

@Poloolpp @JodieeCS Curious about this. I feel like most people hit like 90% of their ceiling at about ~2000 hours. Were you doing no intentional practice before this reddit post? What changed, and what did you improve the most at?

@avidseries Inconvenient facts on the left are like how only a half a dozen unarmed blacks are killed by police per year and the inconvenient facts on the right are about who won the 2020 election

My take is that when you run into a leftwinger who "doesn't know the facts" it's because those (politically inconvenient) facts have deliberately not been reported in the legacy media or in their college classes, but when you run into a rightwinger who "doesn't know the facts" it's often because they distrust legacy media (for good reason) but then rely upon the niche low-IQ rightoid weirdos that infest YouTube and social media.

When people posted similar sentiments about Charlie Kirk, it was wrong. When people post similar things with President Trump dies, it will be wrong. There is no other way to frame it: this is wrong.

I see both sides of this Mueller thing to me, it’s abhorrent and cruel when Trump does this kind of stuff but also, Mueller sabotaged Trump’s first term and tried to put him in prison for fake crimes just because Hillary didn’t know the correct states to campaign in so idk

Oh no… Trump just gave the “moral green light” to “celebrate when he kicks it” to the people who literally wish he were dead and lamented the fact that he didn’t get assassinated at Butler? Yeah, @PhillyD, they didn’t need any green light. They already blew through the red…
Philip DeFranco 👊🏻@PhillyD

Damn he just gave people the moral green light to celebrate when he kicks it. People are going to be saving the screenshot of his reaction like a “get of jail free card” to say the wiiiildest shit.

@FischerKing64 Is there an example of someone Trump doesn't like, but shows grace to?

People are still surprised that Trump shows no grace for people who tried to destroy his life. Try to imagine reading in the newspaper every day that you are a Russian asset, a traitor, when you know you’re not. Then you’re investigated by a guy who is trying to frame you.

@sailaunderscore @LitLanius That's not the purpose of this at all. It's called mechanical tenderization and the water is likely a brining solution. This is good for smoked or braised cuts but undesirable for steaks or sous vide.

@skdh Interference pattern doesn't hinge on observation, it hinges on whether the path information is "knowable in principle" which is STILL REALLY WEIRD

The double slit experiment is the probably most misunderstood experiment ever. I have no idea who created the myth that if you 'look' at one of the slits, then the particles (photons/electrons) stop behaving as waves. It's wrong! They of course STILL behave as waves! Because particles are also waves, always. Photons and electrons make a self-interference EVEN ON A SINGLE slit. Don't believe it? Below an actual measurement from a laser diffracting on a single/double slit from Wikipedia. What happens if you measure which slit the particle goes through is that you get no interference between BOTH slits. And no, you don't need a conscious observer for this. Believe it or not, there have actually been experiments where they had people literally look at a double slit to see if that makes any difference and the answer is no, it does not. The entire mystery of the double slit is in the path of the particle TO the double slit. Because it seems that the particle must "know" whether it WILL be measured at one of the slits before it even gets there. It must "know" whether to go through both or just pick one. Seems like the future influences the past? Not really, it just means you have a consistency condition on the time evolution.

My favorite fact about the Biden administration was that it set aside 2 trillion dollars for reviving America’s infrastructure and it literally disappeared. Just gone, nobody knows what Buttigieg did with it.
Bobby Fakename, Esq.@BobFakeNameEsq

I have long maintained that Biden will be viewed favorably by history 1) because he was a very good president and 2) he will look even better when viewed between the disaster of 2 Trump presidencies. It’s already playing out. I will be vindicated sooner than expected ❤️

@PairaDyson @shillingpoint @MattyRuss3 @uncledoomer @DayDreamHetero Yeah what you’re describing he did was at the threat of job loss. This was unconscionable. All driven by a religious belief that the the vaccines actually prevented transmission (hence vaccine passports in Chicago/NY/Boston, etc. All lies with incalculable consequences.
