Short-form video frying minds
This has actually been happening, but with instagram reels instead of the vax. Yesterday I saw a couple in a nice cafe order food, then sit down and watch Instagram reels on max volume. Not a word to one another.

I see this kind of thing almost every day now. Have you been seeing this too?

Even long-form videos are frying minds anon. The problem isn't the length of the videos, it's inherent in the media type.

It's novelty, people will get bored of it eventually and migrate to new degenerate mind numbing shit.
You think you're not fried browsing this shit website, porn and vidya all day?

It's ok, you don't need to exaggerate to say something is bad. A couple seemingly having no social interaction with each other and bothering everyone around them with their entertainment is bad enough. However, were you man enough to tell them to stop or at least talk to a manager?

It's not that videos are bad, regardless of their length. It's that it's solely a passive and somewhat pleasurable activity to silently watch content. If someone was watching movies all day long and did nothing else, it wouldn't change a thing. If we do something interactive it's better. If we do something in which our choices actually matter, it's even better. If we remove forced abstractions that take us out of a normal and natural context, we're reaching peak quality. Then you just need to watch out that you're not making it even worse with disgusting contents.

Short form videos are the only thing on a computer that feels close to doing whippets, as in you genuinely feel like what you did fucked with your brain in a way that leaves you slightly more retarded, permanently. Even more if it's a short form AI slop video, that's like taking a big hit on digital Galaxy Gas. Kids these days are going to grow up literally retarded and you're going to want to put your money in companies that manage facilities for young retards, and maybe companies that sell enhanced adderall because people are going to need heroic doses to get a semblance of a natural attention span back.

the red deer poster was not far-fetched, only his forecast in size and visibility of the events he projected missed by percentage points.

In my country, there were (and still are) bulletins posted all over the city at the exit of the subway stations narrating the cases of several people who received the vaccine and after some time began to present different symptoms of neuronal degenerative diseases.

How is this different from tiktok? Kids mindlessly scroll that shit and don't talk to each other as well.
I scroll reels desu and it's disturbingly addictive.
Antivaxxers should be executed btw.

Of course, they only promote antivaxx horseshit outside of their country.

Russia has been largely irrelevant since the fall of EU v1, not sure why you schizophrenics blame everything you don't like on them.

Never got the jab. I also disliked Instagram until another anon told me what you can find on there. That really taught me the true meaning of having an open mind.

Of course I asked them to stop. Not sure if they did; I was leaving.

People are generally quite adaptable. I don't think this is irrecoverable, but it's worth taking more seriously than we do.

>>105724133
Not different from TikTok IMO - I'm talking about short-form video in general.

>oh my gooooooooooood people watched instagram videos at lunch help me hitler
Is this the only time you've gone outside this year? Do you have any hobbies, interests, or a job? How do you have so little going on in your own life that you see two people watching videos at lunch and have a mental breakdown over society collapsing in real time?
