There’s probably a German compound word for that feeling you get at 2am when you’re single in your mid twenties and the creeping doubt that you’ve somehow missed your only chance at love because you didn’t meet someone in college and now it’s too late

The german word you are looking for is ‘Torschusspanik’

Germans got a word for fucking EVERYTHING.

German is like the dictionary of obscure sorrows

Germany is a place of obscure sorrows

germany is a place of sorrow

so much of the “research” on “phones bad” is just statisticians congratulating themselves in a circle

example: I am right now reading an article on “phubbing”, which is apparently the term for ignoring people you’re with in order to pay attention to your phone. we’ll slide right past the claim that this is a normal word people use.

the authors have developed a “phubbing scale” and demonstrated that it has strong correlation with the existing “maladaptive technology use” scale. from this, they conclude the “phubbing scale” is a valid and useful metric.

the “maladaptive technology use” scale, if you go and read that paper, has shown strong correlation with the “problematic smartphone application use” construct.

have you caught the problem yet? nowhere has it been proven that scoring high on any of this is actually bad for you.

imagine someone told you “if the ground is wet it probably rained recently”. then you talked to someone about rain and they said “if it rained recently there were probably clouds”. yeah okay sounds reasonable. then all three of these people told you their research proves clouds, rain, and wet ground are all signs of demonic possession in giraffes. you’d be like hold up, I think you lost me somewhere

I don’t need a study to know using my phone makes me feel like shit

do different things on your phone then. I’m guessing you haven’t written off paper as a technology just because tax forms make you want to cry

It’s fair to be skeptical of research into problematic mobile phone usage on the basis that while some studies have shown it to be correlated with anxiety, insomnia, and depression, correlation is not causation and it is difficult to establish a causal relationship when studying this kind of problem. It’s also fair to be skeptical of psych research in general due to the problems that are pervasive in the field.

But being not just skeptical but confident that you’ve debunked all the extant research on the basis that…the dumb statisticians never even bothered to check if this was actually bad for you LMFAO IDIOTS is just plain anti-intellectual though.

> spend 5 years getting a PhD in youth and digital media

> express annoyance with a common failing of academic writing in your field

> get called anti-intellectual

someone just literally interrupted me mid conversation to tell me “what wonderful big dark eyes i’ve got” and on the one hand extremely flattering that she couldn’t even wait until the end of my sentence to comment on this, on the other hand did she have to say it like im the big bad wolf

Write if you can.

If you can’t write: Edit.

If you can’t edit: Outline.

If you can’t outline: Brainstorm.

If you can’t brainstorm: Rest.

Writing is many tasks. Do whichever ones you can handle and you’ll still be making progress.

Sometimes knitting is making stitches and sometimes knitting is untangling yarn. They both move the project forward even though only one actually looks like progress.

pronoun pins aren’t enough when someone misgenders you they should feel a pang that intensifies each time they repeat their mistake until the sensation is synonymous with agonies beyond anything any creature has ever experienced

updatebug:

I haven’t really seen anyone talking about Wick’s sexual harassment of Jud. He’s making the guy listen to him as he details numerous fictitious masturbation stories. He goes into his fantasies and his positions in the very first confession so I can only assume it escalates from there. and we know that he does this multiple times, (probably often) in a way that means Jud has no way to avoid hearing about them, and also in a way which violates a sacred duty that Jud is bound to AND is a gross power play when Wicks has a senior position over Jud. Like, I know it’s an extension of his disgusting power plays but I’ve seen quite a few posts about the misogyny and not much about that.

Just got a chatgpt ad where the use case was “can’t decide a new years resolution”. I can’t think of anything more sad than needing a robot to tell you what your own ambitions are. Loser shit.

I identify the most with the woman who has a green velvet ribbon around her neck and keeps being like “DONT untie my neck ribbon or something really bad will happen” and then her husband unties the ribbon and her head falls off. this is extremely real to me. spent my whole life like “please don’t do this thing to me or really bad stuff will happen” and everyone around me being like “that sounds fake” and doing it anyway. and then my head fell off!
