Ah, so you saying that I am equating the two politically was not your opinion but what you think I am being downvoted for? Yes, I believed so too. I stand my ground though, because it ain't me problem if someone interprets something I did not say. Only in court I guess.
I have the same gripes with the factually false language of populist politics.
I think it's more connected to the my original comment, just outright downvoting anything. That's how the internet modifies our intellect lol. I personally really like asking people. Makes them talk. I enjoy talking to people :).
Have a good day, I will be having a nice evening myself.
Thank you, I'm european and not well educated on the american system. But apparently you can only help me partially. Why the dislike I don't understand. I'm sure it wasn't you.
Nah, your comments were completely fine. I don't drink coffe though and it's 4 PM.
I didn't know Sir Plankton had a first or second name. Nor did I know that his last name is Plankton and not his first.
I know, that's not what my comment was about though.
Yeah, it's probably a lack of nuance, which is something I have noticed on this platform. I did not talk about who started gerrymandering. In fact, never did I even talk about Gerrymandering as a practice. I talked about people talking about it.
It's insane how much interpretation is happening to simple language nowadays. Shows how charged politics is nowadays. I'm not an exception, I'm sure.
I am completely on your side, but I find this little fact interesting.
They say the same thing, it may not be correct, sure but they say the exact same thing. That alone is worth noting. I don't know why I'm getting downvoted for that.
I'm sorry, I don't wanna break the funny, so if you're just here to laugh, the please feel free to do so.
If you are suffering:
Real Phone addiction, which a lot of people nowadays have, takes lifes. It is nothing to joke with. Get a professional if you can. It will erode you physical wellness, your social groups, your grades, your working capacity, you will get severe depression, anxiety, will lack hunger. We all know where that can lead.
Fight it, you have ambitions. The phone does not make you happy.
You should put your phone in a cabinet. Ideally in a space where other people can see it during the day. Then loudly announce to them that you're limiting your screen time in that way.
This is the first step: Admitting it, full stop, nothing to be ashamed of.
When you catch yourself doing more than standing awkwardly in front of the cabinet to answer messages from friends and family you should fix that by putting the phone back into the cabinet. If this is too hard, buy a timed phone safe. Make sure to have a way to call the fire department.
That's the second step: Correcting yourself. Just don't get frustrated, it's not you, it's your addiction.
And then when you can leave that shitter in there for as long as you want without thinking of it in a longingly way, then you can finally start living a life without your addiction. It won't be gone, mind you.
And that's the final step: Consistency.
After a long time of personal development you may even completely make your addiction disappear, but this takes a long time.
Personal development will happen along the way. You will be surprised how much emotion you will have without your phone. You will want to do stuff again.
Good luck. BANISH THAT FUCKER.
Matter of fact, I'll have to put something away.
