Paying for music is worthwhile. Ditch Spotify. Embrace Bandcamp.
I understand having a dislike for a medium that encourages shallow, gimmicky, reactive content. I would put short form video and micro blogging (Twitter, etc) in the same category. I wouldn't say "its all shit, why does it exist", etc. But I know I'm not going to find much of my interest so I avoid it.
But then Reddit (and even Lemmy) get flooded by people just copying over that shit comment from other platforms. I understand the frustration of not really having any good way to avoid the trash.
Just need to find Jet Li and kill him
Poor social skills/social circle: It's never too late to start working to fix that.
YouTube addiction: I love YouTube.....but I only watch through NewPipe and only my subscribed channels which are all long form content of substance. You don't have to ditch YouTube, you can just use the good bits. Never look at algorithm recommendations (main page or suggested videos).
Offline life: pick something new you like. I've been building things (DIY, handmade mechanical keyboard, woodworking). If you find something you like then you can find a club or group and that makes you socialise too. Some people join hiking groups, or weekend park run. Or even if you're starting solo, you can walk through a city and practice photography (this can be on your phone, don't need any fancy equipment). There are literally a near infinite number of cheap/free options to consider, the difficult part is deciding what's of interest to you and finding ways to make it happen.
No, keep going. Then you'll have negative cancer. Doctors call it anti-cancer.
If you're looking for more justification, then you've got online access to unlimited information about unusual sexual practices, injuries and experiences gone wrong. Depends on how deep you want to dive into this......but there's a lot out there if you need more material to make yourself feel better.
Also, I didn't know asexuals bemoaned their asexuality. Sucks to have a sexual preference that doesnt align with what you want to be.
The most unbelievable part is the fact that someone has just found an unattended and unclaimed banana in pristine condition.
Fucking hell....they didn't give me gas! Just local anaesthetic injection (that wasn't not completely effective). Fucking NHS!! My procedure was pretty horrendous really.
FYI: vasectomies don't "go great" as a "simple procedure"..... Quite unpleasant actually. Not life threatening.....but still a really shit experience.
As far as Americans are concerned, there are only 2 British accents:
Villain or wise mentor: Queen's English
Henchman or comic relief: Cockney
I would really like to see a movie about a team up between detectives with Yorkshire, Brummie and Scouse accents; working cross regionally to bring down a gang of criminals. Hardcoded subtitles for the Americans please.
Security from the evil villains who want to block ads. Jesus would have wanted everyone to watch ads as god intended, and these degenerates need to be taken down.
And when I get bored of Hollow Knight, I pick up Gran Turismo 4 and Slay the Spire.
I come across a lot of angsty rebellious teenagers in my line of work. This is a lesson some of them never learn. That "freedom" that they yearn for and lash out at everyone....
I tell them that they're about to be adults. They could literally go outside and eat dirt, never shower again and only speak in swear words; and no one will come to arrest them. The things that the parents said weren't for the parents' benefit, and those training wheels are about to fall off pretty soon.
