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

Tenno.

My adopted chud son has decided to be a sad dad like in The Last of Us or maybe God of War (the new one). I do not give a fuck. Here are the schematics to 3D print his dead wife. I give these to you to punish him for not listening to me earlier.

I remain: the great and terrible Hunhow
