A year ago or so when I wanted to check what Facebook had on me, so I requested my data. The document I got from them also included what apps I used at what times. I don’t mean Facebook apps, I saw at what times I used apps such as Discord and countless other apps I have on my phone.
I am guessing Google has given Facebook special permissions to access more features and data on user devices without prompting too. An average app developer has to ask for each and every permission, but Facebook can afford to pay Google for some questionable deals regarding privacy.
You have 600 or so posts since you joined on July 17, 2024. This comes to 4-5 posts per day, and I assume you spend time engaging with the comments as well. If you wanted to stop posting here today, could you keep it up? Do you feel more satisfied while you engage with the community?
Now imagine these feelings times 1000, maybe even more. Your boredom cannot be satiated by posting if you decide to stop your addiction, and maybe you may even think “just one more time, it wont hurt”
This is what drugs are like, usually just one more time does not kill but they cannot make reasonable decisions due to the addiction anyways.
People who start using drugs because of mental illnesses can overdose too, and this will not be known because “it was just another overdose”. In this case dont you agree that the mental illness was the thing that killed them and they would not start using drugs if the healthcare system did not fail them? Do you think they deserve empathy or not?
