MODERATORS
Is it really a disorder if it's just a normal response to circumstances?
I'm Gen X, not Gen Z, but I think it's definitely a normal response to circumstances. Retirement has gone from "something I'm going to do someday" to "suddenly on the horizon." However, my finances aren't lining up with how much I need to have to retire. (I'm not alone. I saw an article recently that said under 20% of Gen X-ers have enough saved to retire.)
I'm definitely feeling anxious about this. I don't want to be 80 and working a full time job so that I can pay my monthly bills because my bank account ran dry and the Boomers wiped out Social Security.
It's going to take everyone going to the streets and demanding social security reform. Americans need to stop being so complacent
Good luck, the time to do that was when you were 18. At this point you'll be fighting against the people who won't benefit and the people who probably would benefit but certainly don't want to pay for it.
It's a disorder if it gets in the way of your making profits for your masters.
Common and normal and valid response doesn't mean healthy
Body temperature increase is a normal reaction to a viral infection, doesn't mean you won't die if the temperature keeps rising until you're cooked through like a ham though
Death in service of [insert country] is it's own reward! Life in failure of [insert country] is it's own damnation. /s
If someone is so addicted to social media that it caused intense mental harm then they get what they deserve.
These dopamine addicted cocaine-rats who can't stop scrolling do not have my sympathy.
Before you have a meltdown, we often hold religious followers accountable for their religion's fuckery but we never hold social media addicts for their own behavior. Dumb.
