I heard someone say this last week and they never went to prison.

Every time I'm out in public, it feels like the old movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, where 99% of the people have been replaced with alien, but physically exact, replicas. And they're all just zombied out on their phones. It's an addiction that's run through the population completely wild and unaddressed. Often dangerously, scrolling messages while driving 75mph down the freeway. I used to host movie night, but we stopped because 5 minutes into the movie people were just ignoring the movie scrolling Instagram. You can do that at home, guys, jeez.

- joquarky 2y agoThen you face the fallout from the other silent epidemic: everyone thinks they have a reason to be an exception to the rule
- BowBun 2y agoI don't know if you feel this, but there's also a sort of social pressure where if I'm in a situation and everyone's on their phones, it's hard for me to start up a conversation with someone since they seem 'focused' on whatever they're looking at. So I inevitably take out my own phone.

- noman-land 2y agoKeep interrupting them until you break the phone's spell and then ask them if they actually wanna hang out with you.
