i mean. u wouldn't need 'mental gyms' if u didn't use AI slop shit and still challenged ur brain to do the things u should be challenging it to do. i understand the message of this is 'read' or 'learn' but how about just. don't engage with AI and u'll prolly be 1000% fine.

also this comes from substack. i started using that this week and i was enjoying it for a bit but it has now since in a week thrown out the illusion of choice bc it looks just like twitter, bluesky, tumblr, masto bc it moved the 'trending' from the top to the side bar and has that more 'cluttered' look that all of these sites have. it was kinda nice for it to be at the top and able to scroll away and the only thing u could see was the feed in the center of the screen. i felt like i could breathe for once on a social media. but also, there's some stupid ass shit posted over there. everyone acting like they're so superior on that app bc it's a 'more intelligent' app or w/e. there's still brainrot idiots on it, there's a bunch of people acting haughty that we as people need to disengage with tech more and talking down about tech while.. engaging in tech to post said post while also chasing the numbers/engagement/audience. there's other people who are purely there again for the algo shit and to grow (which is why i thought this place was different that it wasn't so concerned with that and it was just for creating, nope wrong again) but also this week there keeps being STUPIDLY religious shit shoved to my face.

one (i blocked it so idr exactly what it said) but it was like porn is artificial intimacy, junk food is artificial nutrition (huh?), online shopping is artificial idr what, basically anything u enjoy in life is some fake shit that's not a benefit to u so idk something religious or spiritual no doubt ensued i have no idea. u lost me the second u demonized porn again cos like what if u liked to make spicy content of urself and ur partner? is that artificial that that might be something u enjoy? also some people DON'T LIKE. INTIMACY WITH REAL PEOPLE so saying stop watching porn and go engage with a real human being this way when lots of people DON'T WANT TO, is fucking stupid. some porn is art, some porn is real emotional human interaction (BDSM play) like just say ur a fucking prude or religious cuck and shut up. that pissed me off so bad.

but also. food is food. stop putting negative connotations on food. yea u don't need to eat junk food all the time but sometimes a lil treat is nice. not all junk food is non-nutritional. yada yada sounds like a pipeline to be pro eating disorder or w/e.

online shopping or shopping in general is fine. overconsuming is not but y'know sometimes it's fun to buy a lil treat to get u through the day.

idk this whole bullshit of stop doing these things these are bad for u while touting it on social media, possibly one of the worst things we as humans have ever created cos look at how brain sick everyone is now from their addictions to social media and following everything that's beemed into their eyes to the point that they're bankrupting themselves to 'fit in' with the influencer shills or w/e. wild to say porn, junk food and shopping is bad when all of this exists.
