reddit is shit and makes me annoyed, twitter is shit and makes me annoyed, tiktok is shit and makes me annoyed, pure news sites are boring, cracked is dead, google doesn't work anymore, lemmy is only memes and news and fairly slow

i feel like i used to be able to sink into an activity on this machine, but now i just spend 5 minutes somewhere, the algorithm runs out of content, i get annoyed and go somewhere else, same process happens. i feel like i have amnesia, i used to enjoy this but i have no idea how.

If you have that lying around, play that freaking game you left on your steam library for later. While playing this game, limit/cut all your accesses to these social platforms that makes you turn in circles.

Also do invite old friends or loved ones, at least on discord, talking with real humans sometimes could help you disconnect from these ragebait worlds.

I recently put together a small discord server (maybe a dozen or so people) with some internet friends I met on IRC and Slack back in the day. It's been lovely getting the gang back together after most of a decade of silence, I'm enjoying catching up with everyone very very much. Highly recommend, it's been great for my recent mental health, and reportedly so for a couple other folks in the group as well.
