All CEOs of the big ones are sociopaths. It’s by design.
You don’t have to be a sociopath to be a CEO, but most CEOs are sociopaths… because sociopathic traits, mostly lack of empathy and zero issue with being horribly manipulative, are traits that tend to be selected for to move up to this level.
A lot of them sell removed or practice law instead.
“Its not an addiction, I’m not addicted snorts line off a toilet seat I’M PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL”
Goddammit, who the hell let RFK Jr. in here?
It’s not a bug - it’s a feature!
Guys you heard it here first: You can drink alcohol for 16 hours everyday and it’s not addiction.
Well yeah, because you are fucking dead. Dying might be the best cure for addiction’s known to man.
Pfft. I’ve drank for 16 hours many a day and I’m not dead.
I think the better language is “you can be drunk 16 hours a day” which, some people are, and they’re certified alcohol addicts. So shoving Instagram in your brain the same way is the same disease, different symptoms.
Hell yeah
This has to be rage bait. I feel like the less time I’m on there, the happier I am. Even the 30 minutes daily limit that I usually set for apps like that is time I’m never getting back.
The only reason I have an account to begin with is because I’m a photographer (even if just a hobbyist) and I like to have some presence in the circles I’m in. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be there at all.
Coming from a potential cocaine sniffing addict that’s not surprising
A system that benefits people who lie about objective facts should be destroyed.
If the tactical business decision is to look someone in the face and say “spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours, idly gazing at photos of anything is not an addiction” in order to protect business interests, then things are wrong. Addiction to a product should be met with horror! Oh no, how could this happen? Instead, it’s part of the business model.
“Business” is a blight.
spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours
Even worse: if you get a proper night’s sleep, 16 hours is literally the entire day. Dude is saying if you are getting healthy amounts of sleep, it is perfectly acceptable to spend 100% of your time doom scrolling on their website. No eating, no going to work, no showering.
It’s an absurd statement.
I dunno. I found it pretty addicting when I was holding both a vape and my phone, and I had doomscrolled for 9 hours till the battery died without having hit my vape once
Of all my active addictions, none take 16 hours to satiate.
Well, Diablo 2 sure has for me.
Diablo 3 and Tiny Tina’s done this for me
Tiny Tina omg
Philip Morris: 1 pack of cigarettes per day is not addiction.
Greatest accomplishment of my life was quitting cigarettes.
Congrats!
Thank you. And to anyone out there trying to quit. You have to try out vaping and then when you get sick of getting sticky from the juice. You’ll finally want to just stop.
I did both for a while, smoking and vaping. A place I shop at was giving away cans of nicotine pouches when you bought a pack of cigarettes for a little while.
One day I was starting at the nicotine pouches and thought, “removed it, let’s add another addiction to the mix.” Over three hours later I realized I hadn’t even thought of a cigarette or vape yet and I didn’t feel like one even though I was thinking about it then. A lightbulb went off in my head.
I think I bought one more pack of cigarettes after that. I quickly went down to a few cigarettes a day, then down to two cigarettes a day, then one for a few days, and then none. Vapes were just an indoor substitute for cigarettes, once I didn’t want cigarettes I didn’t want to vape, either. It took me about a month after that to wean off the pouches, too.
Yeah but i spend 0 hours a day on social media. There is someone out there that reads 16 hours a day and bo one calls books addictive.
They’ll say everything and exploit anyone for their numbers.
Such a moral way to run a whole economic philosophy.
Punchable face.
I’ve known drug dealers more honourable than this.
All I do is play fucking games and even 16 hours of that is absurd unless I’m specifically trying to force my sleep pattern into something usable again.
I wish I could game for 16 hours straight, but my flesh is spongey and weak.
