Being here at all is beginning to feel to me like... in the "gambling vs. sports betting" category of "this is a vice and if I want to indulge in this vice I need to put on pants first, I should not be able to do it in my pyjamas in my bedroom".

I've dramatically limited my own engagement / deleted the app from my phone and endorse doing so, as a direct follow-on to that.

I know that there are at least some people for whom I am a sanity calibration point or who appreciate the filter I perform on Information and News and I -enjoy- being that for people. An increasing degree of HTTP 418 I'm A Teapot responses from my endpoint is, itself, a kind of data in that regard.

Doing something I call "No Vice September" again this year, but I'm adding social media scrolling and short form video content to the list this year (in addition to classics like coffee, weed, alcohol, porn, etc).
