'Clickbait'

Have you noticed that people are paying too much attention to the so-called life taking place on their phones these days and too little attention to the life going on around them ...?

If not, then you must be in a particularly intense relationship with that gadget in your hand because otherwise you couldn't help but notice.

That's the point, obviously, this New Yorker cover; the cat is so busy chasing virtual mice on its phone that it doesn't notice the real mice - the ones frolicking within reach while the cat is mentally "away."

But, as I see it, the illustration - appropriately titled "Clickbait" - does an injustice to cats. A cat would never choose a virtual mouse over a real one. That's a human trick.

Giving a child a smartphone is the simplest method of modern adult babysitting, as it keeps them occupied without requiring supervision. Kids can’t seem to put their phones down, playing doomsday games, sending group texts to friends, or watching YouTube videos. This undesirable dependence on phones can adversely affect general prosperity.

Some of the warning signs of a cell phone addiction include depression, anxiety, isolation, aggression, poor grades, a lack of interest in activities, weight gain, and a lack of sleep.

Got to this streak in Duolingo

Can’t help thinking that if Grace Chastity got to that point she wuld have purposely lost her steak to avoid this number.

Though Grace Chastity likely would have never downloaded Duolingo due to it’s threatening campaign. She also wouldn’t have gotten to that point ever since she goes to Abstinence Camp every summer and we know they take away phones

Energy Shift Bringing Cold Temperatures & Rain to the West

Oct. 16, 2024

Although the precipitation forecast map shows abundant rain for the west, it is mostly missing California for some reason. The satellite image shows a continuous, uninterrupted jet stream, which would mean that we should have rain too. Is this just a psy-op and will California have rain tomorrow? We'll have to wait and see. Fog is in the forecast, and that indicates a transmutation at ground level.

Everyone has been having rough days since last week and the energy in the city yesterday was absolutely psychotic. The drivers were all being controlled by their phones to drive as dangerously and aggressively as possible and it was life threatening to be on the road. This is an indication of energetic warfare, and the ground level air pollution, or "smog," was unusually thick, also indicating heavy DOR in the area at ground level.

The DOR these days in the LA area is primarily being generated directly through the users (cell phone addicts, i.e. everyone), since the weather control arrays have almost been entirely disabled in the west by orgonite gitfing. This human-generated DOR should not be enough to stop the rain, as the DORized cell phone addict has little power to shape their world. The OR generated by the orgonite placed near thousands of cell phone towers is far more powerful than the hapless addicts.

About Topic

This news story is about teenagers who are sent to Detox camp to reduce their addiction to cell phones because they are addicted to them. Why are teens so addicted to cell phones? In my opinion, the first reason is because teenagers are under the most pressure, which is most obvious in Asia. For example, Korean teenagers mentioned in the news are becoming addicted to cell phones because of social pressure. Many countries that have teenagers addicted to cell phones are countries where there is a lot of social pressure. Teenagers have a lot of tasks, such as studying, taking exams, working, earning money, and so on. These reasons close them to the world of cell phones and make them reluctant to come out.

Next, I'm going to go through some posters and media videos to find a solution for teenagers addicted to cell phones.

I always think I’m not so bad because I rarely LOOK at my phone, but like—I am always listening to something, My brain is the flavour of shark that will die if there is no water (sound) moving over it’s gills. I think I’ve stretched this metaphor as far as it can go, but you see—you see, right? Because it IS just as bad.

I had cancer once, and I was on fentanyl during treatment because cancer fucking sucks and honestly the treatment sucks at least as much like holy shit ow, so I have quit fentanyl. It is bad. It’s jittery. It’s itchy in your bones. You are tired and uncomfortable but you can’t lie down, you just gotta move.

I was a little overtired this morning on the way to work and left my phone at home. It’s bizarre, but the feeling—that drawn out jitter, that reaching just to move but there’s nothing there, no relief (and I’m sure the hour of sleep did NOT help) was so familiar. Less intense, because I was working and busy and not sweating in tangled sheets, but GOD it’s so fucking real. Today was the first step.

I wish it was easier to talk about mobile phone addiction without sounding like a boomer

Kids are bringing multiple phones to school to get around the bans. A) what type of shitty parents buy their children not just one, but multiple smartphones? B) that’s addict behavior.

It’s child abuse to give your children smartphones or tablets. Lazy parents have given a generation of children screen addiction, and addiction destroys the brain. The DOC doesn’t matter.

I’m surprised to see the legislature acting to protect children for a change. It’s usually in the business of irreparably harming them. A rare W for the state. Good for us.

Now that many of us are back from a long holiday weekend, today's WRAP (Wednesday Random Art Post) I've selected this drawing from one of my old sketchbooks. The fact that it is an old drawing at this point and we still have to deal with people looking down at their phones while doing something very public, says a lot about our addiction to this device.

I drew this with a dark green polychromos pencil on sketch paper.

It's Our Turn Now

By Rob Pue, Publisher – Wisconsin Christian News   Please take a minute and think with me: what is it in this world that you value most highly?  Many people might say it’s their husband or wife, their children or grandchildren…their loved ones. Others might immediately come up with a different answer related to their possessions.  In my high school years, I had a friend who had a saying that he…
