The first part, absolutely. I'd argue that social media is one of the worst things to happen to the world*. You'll need to show me your working for the second part though? 

 

* Specifically FB and Twitter.

Can’t believe you left out Instagram.

I don't know anything about Instagram tbh. I assume it's as bad but I have absolutely no knowledge of how it works so didn't think it was fair to lump it in with those other two cesspits :lol:

I am a fan of Netflix.  That said, I don't find it as good as when  I started watching it 2 or 3 years back - I still watch regular TV (satellite where I am) 2 x as often.  For me, the quantity is greater than the quality on Netflix but there's always something to watch but some might say when it's at that stage you maybe should find something else to fill your time if that's all your doing.  I have Disney + but we almost never watch it and probably won't renew next time around.  Another one we have is Discovery + which is not bad although much of it is just a repeat of what we have/had on our satellite tv service.

We only watch TV for 3 hours a day, but I'd miss Netflix but much, much less than our satellite TV,

If folk don't enjoy it as much that's fair enough. I just don't see how the world would be a better place without streaming services other than for folk who had shares in Blockbuster.

It’s based purely on my wife who keeps trying to get me to watch it with her when I’d rather do other stuff 😆

Seriously though, I think people spend too much time in front of screens instead of getting outdoors or socialising.

First glance Imread as “scissoring”…did a double take and checked the poster, then had to reread slowly. Eyes seem blurrier in the AM these days.
